you dont know s--- about the man.. i met his ex manager.. he has all reasons to be what he is today.. trav worked hard af to get to where he is..

Guess I was misinformed about Yeezus, and I disagree about the s80 part.

QP2 and Bacc were totally aping Future, I agree. And BMSOY from OP was totally biting Cudi. But other than that, it's been known that DBR was Travis doing the ATL wave. Idk if you've heard any of the Rodeo snippets, but it sounds nothing like DBR. People compare his opening track on Rodeo to Nirvana, like it's that different.

I feel like there's this huge misconception generated from DBR because he delved into the ATL scene for one tape, people think he's like the next Soulja Boy, planning on hopping from trend to trend until the end of time. But he's said, even in his most recent interview, that Owl Pharaoh is his favorite thing he's done and he wants to do s--- like that, but always bigger and better. He definitely has longevity trust me his ability to go ignorant enough for ATL to f--- with him and simultaneously experimental enough for white kids across the country to f--- with him will be his biggest tool.

Ultimate Cudi bite, imo.
But I don't care. I think as he continues to grow he'll form his own brand of sound (not that he hasn't started already).

Lmao I can't stand any of his old s--- before OGOP it's all so whack

 

May 14, 2015

lmao there's a couple joints off those dusty old mixtapes that I liked, but most of it was too rough haha

 

May 14, 2015

Great, now I'm going to have to make my own song so Trav doesn't have to hold that title anymore.

High Fashion wouldn't sound like anything from Atlanta if future wasn't on it, and NBN literally bears no resemblance to any Atlanta music, barring maybe Father. Besides, both were throwaways, and I feel like thats like judging Kendricks new album off Party Nauseous. If you approach DBR as his intentional detour into the ATL scene, which it is, then there's no reason to assume Travis will continue to do so. Also, see 5 Mo, White Girl, and Night Rider for post-DBR songs that Travis has done.

I can understand your thought process and where you're coming from, but I feel like you're being a bit dismissive simply because he went trap for one mixtape. Are we to assume Future will always rap over trap beats with pianos from now on because he did a tape with Zaytoven? Even still, I maintain that DBR is the absolute best project to be labeled as ATL trap, and given my bias I'll go ahead and say it's top 6 or so, maybe not absolute #1.

Backyard is dope as f---

Yeah but you gotta think that DBR was, at least in part, songs that didn't fit the vibe of Rodeo for being too trap, and that's why it was a whole seperate project. And only half the tape was clearly ATL, s--- like Backyard and Grey bears no resemblance to anything coming out of there. And songs like Mamacita and Drugs vary a lot more in their overall aesthetic than most ATL trap.

definitely agree that HF was basically a Future song featuring Travis, and still don't see the NBN resemblance, but one would think that the fact that fans are arguing that it sounds too ATL-ish is the reason he dropped them as throwaways, he doesn't want them to mar the album but they're still good enough to warrant being dropped. And what I meant by the kendrick reference is this:
Say GKMC dropped, and roughly a year later PN dropped. Even though it clearly would have been dropped because it had absolutely no relation to his next album, TPAB, some people would still assume that's the direction he was going to continue in. It's the same here, HF and NBN were obv released because they don't fit the almost grunge-rap aesthetic of Rodeo, and DBR was dropped as a seperate tape for these exact reasons, and even still managed to sound both better and more unique than a lot of stuff coming out of there.

Have y'all ever tried listening to DBR in the order it was in Chops?
1. The Prayer
2. Don't Play
3. Bacc
4. Sloppy Toppy
5. Quintana Pt. 2
6. Mamacita
7. High Fashion
8. Basement Freestyle
9. Backyard
10. Zombies
11. Skyfall
12. Nothing But Net
13. Grey
14. Drugs

Pretty interesting. Also drugs closing out the album>>>

No artist ever bit another artist. Travis is the first dude to bite his role model.
Rodeo has a completely different sound than any of his previous sound/s. Skr8up said that Rodeo is going to sound like if nirvana produced it. Never catch me, Carnage and plenty more sound nothing like we have ever heard before. Travis is going to set a new sound and watch everyone bite him. Rodeo is completely going to change the hip hop game
