Mar 31, 2015 Idk I just couldn't get into TC like at all It might have something to do with IYRTITL being my first Drake project to fully listen to and f--- with
Mar 31, 2015 Nah I mess with it more than Take Care even if TC is the superior project. Sequencing was great and the only song I skip is 305 To My City which is nowhere near as bad as Make Me Proud
Mar 31, 2015 Drake always seemed to safe of an artist for my tastes Almost all of my favorite dudes are people who shirk catchiness for individuality, not that the two are mutually exclusive But I just never really felt tracks like Take Care or Headlines, always felt too normal and radio friendly for me. Whereas with IYRTITL even the radio friendliness was in a really cool way I hadn't heard before. So then I went back and feel in love with NWTS as soon as the beat switched up in Tuscan Leather and I just coasted through the whole album like d--- it's finally clicking
Mar 31, 2015 I can't man I've hated it for so many years. Nicki's verse was cool but I can't stand that hook lol
Mar 31, 2015 Heard them once and can't remember what they sound like for the life of me Keep in mind I'm not saying TC is bad or that the love is unjustified , I'm js those were my initial opinions and I haven't done back to see if they change
Mar 31, 2015 I will once I get over the excitement of finding Travis' old s--- And I'm serious about that write up if yall want it
Mar 31, 2015 i tagged @BigCountry because he's recently been on a discredting travis scott kick haha, i think you two should talk
Mar 31, 2015 i am not an alarmist/sensationalist who thinks hip-hop is ever dead or dying, but if anyone represents the death of culture, it's travis scott.
Mar 31, 2015 I like Travis's music (I'm seeing him and Thugger tonight) but you can't deny that it's derivative/blatantly bites other artists at times and that he's a s-----y person IRL.
Mar 31, 2015 Fair enough. I overplayed the s--- out of NWTS when it came out, so listening to it again recently reminded me how good it was/is. Mac Miller could have been an honorable mention and NWTS could have been in the 15-25 range.
Mar 31, 2015 Out of curiosity, how much if Owl Pharaoh have you listened to? I ask because, and not a lot of people know this, Travis himself said DBR is full of tracks he deemed to generic for the album. I won't deny that this is something he needs to work on, but sounding too much like Cudi and Ye at times isn't the worst knock against an artist, y'know And as far as the s-----y person thing, I never like to judge people I don't know; BUT i will say that the main knock against him in that regard is what that one former manager said, and if that's your source I'm just gonna say that being salty that your upstart talent ditched you and went on to work with half the rap game will make you say s---, and I honestly doubt Travis left him during the seizure and stole those beats like he claims
Mar 31, 2015 there are a lot of other albums we overlooked that i think deserve a "real" spot than nwts. and id take those mac miller projects i mentioned over nwts tbh
Mar 31, 2015 Pls tell me who he's biting on Naked. Or Drive. Or Grey. Or Drugs You Should Try. Or Meadow Creek. Edit: and I'm not being some salty Stan btw, I legitimately want to have an intelligent debate on this
