Travis Scott - Utopia July 28th

[Metal Face]

this is

overproduced trap shyt wit a gazillion beat switches mostly, so usual Travis
then u got some random ass ambient like songs thrown in with barely any rapping

that Meltdown track is is not as good as Sicko Mode

 

[Point Blank]

The transition to Thugga on SKITZO though

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Dropping THIS after 5 years is gross. A far cry from Rodeo, Astroworld, and even his early mixtapes. A lot of this was safe festival music (). 21 Savage did his best to carry (again), SZA song her ass off, Westside Gunn got off another hilarious verse over a different type of Alchemist beat (that some sampled singer tries to ruin), and Drake had a pretty nice verse (to where he didn’t actually address Pusha, but roundabout addressed Kanye and possibly Pharrell). The production seemed so subdued compared to last releases. And on the flip side, some tracks just had too much stuff going on, like trying to make some major epic track but never actually turned out that way.

Once the hype of the Drake diss and the big features wears off, this will have very little replay value

He clearly tried to do something different but it isn’t executed well. I give him props for not giving us the generic album he could’ve but this is not good. Especially after 5 years and songs with the best artists and producers in the game

Trav was never known for bars but his lack of substance is particularly glaring on this album for some reason. His raps almost sound AI generated. He needs Ye’s ghostwriters

 

[The G.O.D II]

This is fukking trash. I mean usually all his albums are but there are usually 3-4 replayable tracks. Nothing of the sort here.This is just a jumbled mess of shyt

 

[tinnyskillz]

I Know sounds like Niagra falls by Trav & 21, mixed with the baseline of Want me Dead by Thugger & 21. I think both was produced by Metro.

I’m definitely going to keep playing:


Modern Jam
Gods Country
Meltdown (best song, Drake went off)
Delresto (Echoes)
I Know
Skitzo
Lost Forever (I kind of like the leaked version better but like the new additions to it to)
Topia twins
Parasail is chill to

The dude can put together interesting collabs and chooses interesting and great production but I feel like he really isn't all that interesting as a rapper/personality and that's always gonna be an issue for me.

 

[Lord Beasley]

gotta wash my ears out with some GunnaWunna. I will not revisit this shyt

A “generic” album from him would’ve been good Rodeo, Astroworld, Owl Pharaoh, and Days Before Rodeo are all better than this. None of those albums sounded like one another. This current album sounds like a Travis Scott impersonator tried to make Travis Scott’s music from memory, which is ironic cause people often refer to Travis is a non-original biter.

 

[DALLASMAVERICKS]

comparing this to yeezus is a reach. no where near as abrasive or boundary pushing
this not for me, travis cant rap for shyt

 

[Mortal1]

This and Mr morale easily the most disappointing hip-hop albums in recent memory.

Yeah, I’m not gonna lie I would take a 2023 Butterfly Effect and Can’t Say over everything on this album. It seems like he tried to go as far away from his sound that he got lost
