Travis Scott (2023)

8.6/ 10

“Travis Scott’s Yeezus, with Ye left overs”

“Listen, I’m not complaining, I really like this project. I think it’s great. But. I feel like Travis raps in a loop with nothing interesting to say. I feel like that’s what holds this project from the glory it could’ve been (a Grammy.) I totally still think though that this deserved a Grammy, the production and features on this project are amazing. The whole album has an amazing loud and powerful sound with great delivery… sometimes. Travis Scott can tend to just be too nonchalant on the tracks when the bass booming while he acts like it’s not a hype part of the song. That’s what I feel like keeps this from a high 8. Because that flaw is very, very repetitive. Also to mention, a good quarter of the project is made by Ye but yet he doesn’t even have a feature or not even that much production credit, to a point to where it feels like Travis just ripped a bunch of songs that sounded like Yeezus without notice. Besides that it’s a great project, but it could’ve literally been amazing, yet it was held back by Travis Scott not really pushing the boundaries of his rap and original sound as a producer.”
