    Travis Scott is one of the hottest rappers in the game. He's about to perform at the Superbowl, his 3rd album, Astroworld is massive and he has a unanimously positive public perception. But Travis Scott's journey to the top has been years in the making, with lots of hard work and disappointment along the way. Travis Scott got his beginning as a producer for Kanye West's collab album Cruel Summer. His debut mixtape Owl Pharaoh was well received and he was recognized as a promising new talent in the rap industry. Between then and now he released the catchy Days Before Rodeo, the epic trap opus Rodeo, dark, brooding Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, poppy Huncho Jack and finally, the unique, genre defying Astroworld. Travis Scott has a kid with Kylie Jenner and a holiday named after him in Houston, Texas. He's risen to the very top of mainstream popularity thanks to hard work and determination. He's worked with veterans such as Kanye West, T.I., Stevie Wonder and more as well as peers like Young Thug, Swae Lee, Quavo, Justin Bieber, Drake and more. Travis's most popular songs include Goosebumps, Sicko Mode, Butterfly Effect, Stargazing, 90210 and more.

      It's not about being a good album, it's about being unique. That's why many people hate j. Cole. That's why artists such as 50 cent & DMX lost their appeal in just 10 years while the jay-z & Dr. Dre legend lives on since 25-30 years. Innovation. 50 cent, dmx, t.i. etc etc are formulaic rappers. They have a hit sound, a hit formula and every album every song reflects that. I can tell the difference of vibe and sound between astroworld & rodeo. I can't tell the difference between "Get rich, die trying" & "the massacre", or between "it's dark & hell is hot" &"flesh & blood". They stick to the same formulas that made these artists popular. The darkness of rodeo is very different from the pure sweet extravaganza that "Astroworld" is. Birds in the trap on the other hand, is just the antidote or mamacita formula repeated over & over again. It's an album with good songs, but it's not a good "ALBUM". It looses the essence of expanding the artists sound. As the melonhead says, "Rodeo" is a trip, "BITTSM" is just the hollow vibes or sounds from the trip. Not only is there no growth at all, it's actually downgrading of the sound of Travis.

      Boricceli I didn’t find it underwhelming, and it was just the narrators opinion if u think critically
      He just said it as if it was factual objectively but it was a subjective opinion one need not be influenced by much (especially because I think it is far from objective truth if u assess the impact it had, combined with how unique it was and still is for the musical landscape, in addition many have since emulated and been inspired by travis (a big form of flattery)

      Let him live, he’s just passionately relaying more information on artists to inspire others
      Personally I think the editing was good great and excellent inmo if u can edit better maybe email the channel host and ask for some collaborative work?
      I’m sorry if I sound rude I’m not trying to offend u not a prophet I just think we should appreciate art in all forms and not bash it or dislike it or hate it when it’s spreading a good message and inspiring others. In other words I think u could think positively and phrase things more positively eg “the editing could be better on the next video” would inmo be a more objectively proactive way to get ur desired outcome: inspiration and cleaner more professional looking editing
      I think if u phrased things positively u would achieve ur desired outcome without inputting negativity to someone’s creative and unique channel that they spent a long time working on?

    I literally live in the neighborhood he grew up in, it’s the suburbs. Sure there’s bad apples selling weed out here but it’s not that bad lol

      Don’t be so tight. He stayed in meadow creek coming up in mo city. been here almost 14 years, the neighborhood has always been retired old people and some teenagers who smoke. It not as hard as this dude’s video says.
