Yo homie, just wanted to say I'm a brand new subscriber and I've been binging your content like crazy! I love your simple and down to earth style with how you create and your takes are really well spoken and you can keep my interest in the topic you're speaking on for the entire video which is hard for someone with ADHD like myself. Keep up the great work bro, you deserve a ton of subscribers and I'm sure with the grind you're on you'll get them! Take care brother.
I feel like it was worth the 5 years. My reasoning is after an album like astroworld mixed with the wait time of 5 years (which let’s be honest, it might’ve dropped sooner if it wasn’t for the festival incident) it was pretty damn hard to top. He’s always produced great albums in my opinion, Iam a massive travis Scott fan and Iam not even going to lie after the third year of waiting I kinda lost that excitement for this album but as soon I heard it I was pretty satisfied with what we got and I’ve only been liking it more and more as I listen to it. Great take btw and happy birthday bro!
The meaning of the album is perfection. For Travis this is a perfect album, a "Utopia", but that's subjective. The actual wait or journey is more rewarding than the result.
here before the inevitable 'thank you guys for 100k subscribers' video lol i found u thru tiktok and been a lurker ever since, ur really well spoken and have some solid takes from what i've seen. ur videos fill the void i have with my lack of music and rap culture conversations had with friends irl, cuz almost everybody ik just listens to music casually. most of em wouldn't be too interested in any conversation deeper than simply whether they liked a song/album or not, so i really really do appreciate your commentary on such topics - thank u i almost completely agree with ur rating of utopia and also feel like the album was pretty much worth the wait given the circumstances with the astro tragedy. aside from hht i've been seeing a lotta tweets+ig posts calling it mid (including dj akademiks) and i honestly feel like those listeners didn't really experience the album as intended. idk if they were expecting a direct astroworld sequel or what, but to call an album with production and feature composition this good anything less than decent is crazy to me. i've also seen lyrical criticisms which i can somewhat understand, but trav has never really been a 'rapper's rapper' so it's kinda weird to expect that from him imo. however if he did manage to step up his pen and maybe address the tragedy directly while also maintaining the quality of production and sonics then that could've potentially made this his magnum ops for sure. i'm curious to see where you'd rank this project in his discography and in comparison to other drops this year anyways mb for the long ass comment, keep up the quality content+consistency and i could def see you touching 100k+ subs by the end of the year fosho!! also happy belated gang
I wonder how you would rate some of the older albums in hip hop based on your rating system. Only built for Cuban Linx Raekwon, or The chronic Dr Dre, etc? You are very knowledgeable about hip hop. Thank you for your insight. Much needed
This was not worth the wait at all, bro just reused sounds already created by kanye or others. People tryna act like travis stepped into a new sound, No he stepped more into kanye's sound. Utopia has the name alone to want to make and create something new that would have been HIS. Look at yachty for example, bro has now literally changed and created his own unique sound as of recent w songs like strike and slide, and I been following yachty since mf 2016 and travis since 2013 so I go way back w both these artists. also who tf cleared KPOP for the album???
I don't say all that hating on the album, just certain takes that I've seen from "new" travis fans that knew of bro from either astroworld or mf fortnite. Yes they are still fans but they don't know the whole picture cause they simply were not there earlier. Its a good and even great album but it fails to create something new or justify a 5 year wait.
So the reason you sayin that this album isn't worth the wait is because he hasn't created a new sound.Which is something that honestly I don't give a fuck about it, even though I can hear the influences of the Yeezus album.The songs still are sonically amazing and Travis Scott brings a lot of passion with his rapping,Parasail and K-pop are the only skips for me and I give this album a 9 out of 10.At least to me was definetely worth the wait.Also you act like the whole Astrofest incident didn't damage the release of the album.
I'll be honest, I'm tired of this question. 95% of new albums would be disappointing if we listened with the mentality of "was this worth a multiple year wait?" People act like Travis, Kendrick, and whoever else were in a bunker tirelessly working on their albums for 5 entire years straight before dropping, when that's just not the case. Don't base the quality on the gap in time between releases - base it on what the album is at face value, right now. Jay Electronica dropped a pretty good album, but people were disappointed because it took him 10 years to do it, so "pretty good" wasn't enough.
4 out of 10 for me I liked some tracks as a Travis Fan this is not his best yes it’s Yezsus influenced but not impressed by it. BTW Happy birthday 🎊 bro.
I don't think we should be comparing the album to the wait....especially if it was unintentional..trav was going to drop a lil earlier but the tragedy happened also if he wasent experimental as much it woulda came out earlier as well obviously...when u look at the album as a whole apart from the drastic wait you'll prolly appreciate it more
It's obvious that the album should have been released in 2021, for obvious reasons he couldn't so he had to change the style of the album to be less rage and having a more mellow style to his songs. I rate it like 6/10 because it's not travis' style.
Travis has never made that many “rage”songs. He just made them more “rage” for concerts. While this album is a bit more experimental than his past work, it isn’t that much different than what he’s done before. I’d argue songs like Fien and Topia Twins are more “rage” like than anything he’s done before. I swear y’all are some fake Travis fans…
i mean i don’t think any album is worth that wait right now, as i get older i might understand it more but i’m 19 now so i was 14 when astroworld dropped. I’m a big carti fan and WLR is my goat album and i wouldn’t say i’m over it but i feel like i could get a new project now, i’ve rinsed every song of WLR and whilst it still hasn’t got old it definitely isn’t something i listen to daily. As someone my age i’m always looking for new music and i feel like no one’s been listening to astroworld the last couple of years, i haven’t seen myself or any of my friends playing a song off it so frankly my opinion is that we were over it. When the majority of ur fan base is over ur last project u should look to drop asap, because at one point i did have trav in my top 5 but now he’s barely top 10 if that because he wasn’t dropping
@@DameOnYT Some of the most popular artists today are probably ones you hate and think are trash. That’s Not a valid argument lmao. When he said the album sounds “unfinished” he lost all credibility, whether you like the album or not that’s just a dumb statement, Utopia is the definition of a finished album lol. Some of the most creative production I’ve heard in a while…

Thank you so much I really appreciate that man
I agree with your rating, definitely worth a 8.5/10 rating

Put that festival incident pushing the album back before I finished watching btw my b
I say absolutely. You can tell trav put in so much time and care into each song the 5 years was crucial
You everywhere today !
Nigga most of these songs are just Kanye scapped demos LMAO
@@broghad8241 kanye produced like two of them bru
@@jamjam91171 Kanye demos don't mean he produced them bro. Just mean he was on the song first before Trav deleted his part.
@@broghad8241not most, like 2 or 3 songs bro…

Most music sounds trash or foreign to the human ear on the first couple listens..Give it some time to Marinate your opinions will change.💯💯💯

Hbd bruh
For some reason I enjoyed the features more than Trav on this project. And that’s coming from a fan.
It's obvious that the album should have been released in 2021, for obvious reasons he couldn't so he had to change the style of the album to be less rage and having a more mellow style to his songs. I rate it like 6/10 because it's not travis' style.
Travis has never made that many “rage”songs. He just made them more “rage” for concerts. While this album is a bit more experimental than his past work, it isn’t that much different than what he’s done before. I’d argue songs like Fien and Topia Twins are more “rage” like than anything he’s done before. I swear y’all are some fake Travis fans…
My birthday wish for you is I wish you throw some of your subscribers my way
i mean i don’t think any album is worth that wait right now, as i get older i might understand it more but i’m 19 now so i was 14 when astroworld dropped.
