Kanye West - The Life of Pablo (February 14, 2016) Album • Page 40

Travis has a new album coming out?

*sits quietly because i enjoy Rodeo*

 

The Quavo verse on that song is very good at least

 

I don't hate Future, he's just not really my thing. Travis does sound like Future sometimes but he has a pretty varied sound, he sounds closer to Cudi or Kanye a lot of the time

I also don't love Travis, I just love a lot of Rodeo and then random songs from his mixtapes

 

So even the song Fade is now Tidal exclusive? Can't play it in itunes. Coulda sworn I pirated it, but may have deleted the downlaods when he "updated" the album.

 

Tim Cook better not give Jay Z a dime.

 

lol yeah i noticed it was grayed out for me now. thats kind of excessive

 

i dunno, i just dont know why anyone would listen to travis' bootlegged Gary Pooter and the hostage of alakazam ass raps when the original items are widely available and clearly more effective and superior

 

still the ultimate takedown of travis scott http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/travis-scott-is-worse-than-iggy-azalea-1682870003

"Talking with Rosenberg, he repeatedly touts how "artistic" he is, as if differentiating his music from the music his music sounds exactly like. In another interview with Hot 97, which you'll find immediately above, he talks about being influenced by the Southern rap he grew up around, but only in terms of sound, not content. The mindless thugging, the gang-banging, the false bravado ... this, he seems to say, is not what Travis Scott is about. He aspires to the honesty and vulnerability and middle-class-at-worst woes of Kid Cudi and Drake. Rather than parse Young Thug's lyrics about killing Crips for the universal expression of loyalty to his community—or acknowledge that Chief Keef's quick-tempered, murderous aggression is a reaction to his hopeless environment—many rap fans would prefer someone else came around to copy the sonic quality and the energy of that music, gussy it up with more bourgeois concerns, and sell it back to them in a language that's easier to relate to."

 

Fade is still on Spotify, though that could just be Spotify being late as usual

 

because Twitter dgaf and it gets people rts/likes/etc, I'll try to find another source to not give him more clicks

 

Listening to 808's for the first time. It's really good. Not a fan of weezy's verse on See You In My Nightmares.

 

what year is it

 

Lol shut up. Just for some reason I never got around to 808's and College Dropout when I started getting into Kanye in '09.

 

808's is my favorite kanye record actually

 

I know you always say how influential it was around the time considering Drake kinda went in s similar direction. It's easy to see with the mood of the album.

 

yeah 808s directly influenced cudi, drake, future, lots of the rappers who went in a more emotional direction around the start of the decade. its influence can still be heard today, which is a feat with how often rap is changing shape.

 

I apologize for liking Travis Scott more than Future

 

You are not forgiven

 

Can someone who has been to the tour tell me how visibility from balcony level seats is? Worth sixty bucks?

 

I wasn't on the balcony but this is probably the best a balcony seat could be with the stage moving.

 

I think they'd both probably be top 5 tracks on the album for me if they were

 

I'm actually kind of surprised he didn't considering everything after Wolves seems sort of cobbled together for the tracklist
