    + flow wise and delivery wise he has nothing to do with thug, and flow/delivery is what characterises thug so this comparison is completely stupid

    Travis just knows how to combine great artists and great producers and make them all even better to make really, really great songs

    :dead: i understand editing a verse out but u right, taking out the hook is just hating. ironically, the bridge that was left in the song was the one part travis wrote according to be el be

    Lol ok so you're basically saying he has a good ear (that's what I'm gleaning from the choice of the term 'executive producer'). That's excusable for someone like Kanye with an assortment of other skills to bring to the table (actual beatmaking, great songwriting), but if that's all Travis has then it's really nothing to praise like that

    @ThyNeighbour has a point, Travis did come into the game with a relatively unique style kinda

    Too bad he threw it away and decided to make derivative atlanta music by the time he released DBR

    I know what Travis did was straight up slime and childish, doesn't make the song less great though. OG definitely sounded better but if this was the first time we heard this track, we'd be happy as f---.

    I'm not sure why I'm coming at Travis like this, I really do enjoy the music, I just dont like when he is mentioned alongside living goats

    1.) id like to know what is so derivative about his more atl sounding tracks like Oh My, Quintana Pt.2, 3500 etc. (not being snarky, genuine question cause i still dont know what that term means)
    2.) whats so bad about music being derivative? Does listening to said tracks knowing that they have been derived from a particular sound(which have been improved upon in terms of production) make it less enjoyable for you?

    Life's a lot easier when you just relax and accept the fact that Travis is a top 3 artist OAT
