Wasn't he like 11 when he first started rapping? That's crazy.
*birdman handrub*
He really has a type. That Jacquees cat he's pushing right now looks like Wayne and Thugga, too.

Isn't Birdman known for taking advantage of up and coming rappers? Dude is supposedly pretty greedy.

Didn't realize that Drake is beefing with him as well.
I think it's only by proxy because Weezy.
I thought he was under that and Cash Money. Idk.
He hasn't been associating with Baby for a while now though, no? Haven't seen them together or even mentioning each other for years.

It's unfathomable that you can have an album with such great production and nearly flawless feature selection and it still come together like shit. It sounds like Scott is even worst on the mic, it's incredible, just really flat sounding completely smothered under the myriad of bells and whistles packed into each and every track.

he mentioned him on the No Shopping track. Says he's "baby's boy"
Yeah the tracks I do fuck with off his projects I enjoy a lot. But I can't make it thru the rest.
Koozek hook me up with a compilation

Mike Dean mixing thrown in with I think the fact that Travis has always been weak. He's a tastemaker. He samples figuratively all the flavors right now and can reproduce them to a certain to dgree but any knowledgeable ear can tell what's missing.
Imo this means he's perfect for EDM skrillex esque trap shit like:

but he's not cut out to be a stand alone or "album" artist
Idk I understand your complaints Des and for almost any other artist I think I'd wholeheartedly agree, but the production is so good and the way these tracks are sequenced and things such as the beat switch on Way Back are done so elegantly that it makes it worth treading through Travis's vocals.
That's how I felt after listening oh my dis side and 3500 back to back when I first jumped into a Travis project last year with Rodeo, and it still holds up
He does use auto tune effectively despite all his shortcomings vocally too
Idk he is definitely not the best rapper or vocalist, but the way he can arrange and utilize his production is just so good. It really reminds me of Ye
Damn this is my stanniest post of all time
Travis is basically a more trap oriented ye but less talented. They both got good ears for beats and features,and know how to put together songs. Ye just at another level, talent wise. But Travis can make a cohesive album. Rodeo flows nice, from beginning to end. Birds is not really organized, he just picks some tracks that sounded dope and threw them together.
On a side note, guidance is the worst track on the album and the original wonderful w/o the weeknd would've fit better.

Speaking of Drake, I gave Nothing Was The Same some spins, and I definitely like it more than Views and IFRTITL The production is particularly strong, especially those atmospheric piano samples.
This is easily VOTY. I just can't fathom why the fuck he is not pushing Controlla to be a hit like he did with One Dance.

I heard that song EVERYWHERE this summer. Surprised it wasn't pushed hard.
You need to check So Far Gone and Take Care then.
I'm still in the camp that feel Take Care is his best work he'll ever put out.
SFG is basically the mixtape that started this run he's been on for 6+ years.
Andrew Korenchkin

Yep, Take Care will be next soon. I can actually find a used copy for a buck if I want it.
Favourite drake album since it has the most replayable songs for me. You & the 6 and maybe 6pm in new york are the only tracks I didn't really like. Even that wasteman pnd managed to not ruin the tracks he was on.
