"Travi$ Scott - Owl Pharaoh"


  

          

I didn't see any posts about this before...

This came out a few months ago but I love this mixtape. I'm probably a few years too old for it but I don't care. Production-wise it captures everything I loved about the 808s/Cudi aesthetic and while Scott isn't any more than a mediocre, he has the same precocious wide-eyedness that made me love the Hit Boy EP from last year. Tracks like the intro, Dance on the Moon, Drive I've had stuck on repeat...

What did y'all think about this one? Was it too close to Kanye's aesthetic or did you get something out of it?

I wish he would have kept the opening beat on "Hell of A Night" going throughout the song. I dig him more as a producer than a rapper though. Not sure how much of this he produced either.

He threw it out there a month before on some "I hit it first" shit, but my ears weren't really attuned to it until after hearing Ye's album. I like the songs like "Meadow Creek", "Hell Of A Night" and "Naked" more than the harder, trap-ier stuff, but it's cohesive and well-sequenced and what he lacks in personalty he makes up for with the production.

Extremely talented producer but totally unengaging as a vocalist.

When he's doing his poor man's Cudi, it's REAL bad.
