TDE Punch has something to say about Utopia

[Low End Derrick]

The most baseline expectation for music is that it sounds pleasing, sonically Everything else is just not required/window dressing. fukk is he talking about

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

you call it a "baseline expectation"..... he says it "should do more than"

yall saying the same thing, what's your beef here?

 

[Braman]

This.

Be illiterate brehs

 

[Tetris v2.0]

So he's saying that Travis is lyrically bankrupt which hurts the overall music and he's honestly not wrong

 

[KBtheKey]

That's what I gathered after hearing it. Sure it all sounds good, but it doesn't make you want to listen to it. I really think bro should just be an engineer/producer or get some writers Kuz he can get some better rappers pop idols or whatever straight but he can't write lyrics or flows for shyt

 

[Rivoli]

Doesn't Chy Hi the Prince write for him anymore?

that you're trash @ reading comprehension

 

[Astroslik]

Utopia > anything TDE put out the last 3 years

 

[Braman]

I’m an old head purist but I disagree. How do you explain afrobeats?!? Or Reggae? Can’t understand a word they sayin but

And I haven’t listened to the album yet, but Astroworld

He/his team are just good enough that an album full of dope beats and melodies works. Just call it another genre and voila you no longer have to worry about lyrical purity

And actually I was just listening to Black Messiah by Deangelo and its always said people can’t understand what he’s saying. He DO be spittin but even if you can’t make it out it’s A+ rhythm, melody, etc

 

[SpacelySprockets]

he's clearly saying travis is carried by production and isnt actually rapping about shyt

personally ive never listened to travis for bars but there was always a good middle ground between the good production and catchy lyrics/good features ala Birds/Astroworld, Utopia just comes off as overproduced and creatively empty lyrics wise.. it's like an experimental kanye album without kanye's wittiness, charisma and team of writers.. it's missing an ingredient

So what about illmatic. Sounds good musically but Nas rapping and his lyrics complete the package why are you being dense

 

[Flight]

Not tryna hear complaints from them when they let that my auntie is a man now track fly.

Travis is a fraud. That’s why Rihanna deaded him. Had her whole album released delayed.
