Logic: I am king of corn, I run this shit, I'm half bl-
J.Cole: Hold my green pressed juice
Ye been on this wave and preaching the gospel and delivering on his promises, get woke and be water, brother
Love DBR but nothing on it is better than Oh My Dis Side or 3500 or Pray 4 Love
Still gotta be Rodeo for me
Quintana Pt. 2, Basement and Skyfall are on DBR
Fuck you talking bout?
Those are dope songs but I just prefer Rodeo's best stuff over DBR. It's just opinions my dude
Speaking of opinions: I really like that new Rae Sremmurd and Travis track. Production so goddamn heavy
And Maria I'm drunk and drugs you should try it
Edit: never mind Maria I'm Drunk was on Rodeo haha, DBR has mamacita too tho. It wins. Both projects had solid tracks tho. Way better than his album after
I love Days Before Rodeo, but you're out of your mind if you think it's better than Rodeo
Rodeo has better production, mixing, and theming. Oh My Dis Side, 90210 and 3500 shit on anything on Days

Yeah, not a fan of that cover art at all. If they had just kept the focus on King Cole and did something a la "Power", that'd be a much doper cover than this.
Also, it seems Cole's next project is titled "The Fall Off". Seems apt enough.

Dont really like bothering with his full albums but he has a really loud and synth heavy sound to a lot of his songs that works great. Plus hes dope on hooks
I personally enjoy Travis because he nails mood & atmosphere. His lyrics are trash, but he has a way with autotune and his production that manages to foster such an evocative atmosphere.
I'm with you, but I do really like a few of his standouts. Rodeo has 4-5.
It's his features that people rave about that bore me.
He has a talent but he is on autopilot a lot.
I'm a cynical ol jerk, but this is the exact thing that makes me skeptical about him - he goes from couch surfing in Houston with no material to becoming a 'full formed' hip-hop it-boy who's first project is stacked with industry veterans. I'm glad for anyone who can make a living doing this, but it's weird to me that this goes unquestioned in a genre where bonafides are heavily scrutinized, though I guess that's less to the case these days.
Now that's an argument that speaks to me
He actually does have mixtapes pre-Kanye. His wikipedia says he had 5 projects released since 2008, all of which were low-key affairs. There are a couple of questionable moments like how he was just casually spending most of his time in Just Blaze's studio. But, from what I understand, he struggled and then somehow managed to get T.I.'s cosign which led to him getting a placement during the "Cruel Summer" sessions.
I guess that lines up with how I speculate his ascension went - dude has a some local material, gets scouted by labels/artists who can deftly navigate the system and assist in producing his material and projecting an image, and quickly ends up in Kanye's camp. Maybe that colors my enjoyment of his work but I just can't shake the feeling of how 'by committee' if feels. Ironically, given that, Maria I'm Drunk is the only song of his I really like
It's like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets the zombie apocalypse
Great mixing, great first verse, and a solid hook. And no mumble nonsense. I dig it.
Travi$ Scott's best skill is songwriting, hands down. Understanding melody, creating memorable lyrics and ad-libs, etc. all second to that. Songwriting is what makes Rodeo so exceptional. Dude knows how to work so many different beats into songs that stand the test of time.
Rodeo probably also has like half of all of the best beat transitions ever. They feel so forced on so many projects ever since Ye started doing more of them (Come to think of it, I think CyHi is pretty bad in this regard), but they're just sublime on Rodeo.
EDIT: GODDAMN CLOSE IS ANOTHER HIT. Man, I'm so ready for this triple album and I can't believe I'm saying that.

Man, ERA-HOP had one hell of a day. Bad Bahbie is the GOAT, Travis sucks, Lil B is not influential, 21 savage is Trippie Red level of garbage and so on. May the Devil bless ya.
