    Overall, Rodeo has plenty of bangers and noteworthy collaborations that help bring out a futuristic trap sound that could bleed into the mainstream of hip-hop in no time.

    With Rodeo, Travis Scott becomes a designer drug.

    Somewhere beneath all the hype and production he does shine through.

    Left on his own, Scott can grow tiresome. "I Can Tell" sounds monochromatic without another voice to push this astute curator. Some rock stars are better leading bands than going solo.

    Yes, the production is razor sharp, the beats are skewed and often very loud which makes them feel important, but in reality, it's all a façade; an image.

    He is most effective when he harshly distorts his vocals to create texture, and in the company of others he can serve as a welcome change of pace.

    There’s a lack of personal narrative or identity on Rodeo, and Scott will often overcompensate for the hollowness of his music.

    Blown away by Travi$ on this one. As every artist grows and changes, so does their music and this is a work of art. Not so impressed with theBlown away by Travi$ on this one. As every artist grows and changes, so does their music and this is a work of art. Not so impressed with the production wished Travi$ wouldve handled it a little more. Other than that, Album of the Year, with great features. My favorite from the album is Maria, Im Drunk ft. Justin Bieber and Young Thug!… Expand

    Travis Scott is an innovator in rap music and this project is just the proof of that. First of all, the beats and the production is probablyTravis Scott is an innovator in rap music and this project is just the proof of that. First of all, the beats and the production is probably the best thing about this album; catchy, creative and psychedelic, something you don't see in everyday's albums. The rapping is clever and the features are really good, some of my favourites are Quavo's, Kacy Hill's, Young Thug's and Sosa's. This album has a real sound and a real concept, you can tell by the progression of the songs, starting from the intro and finishing the narrative presented by T.I. (who, let's be honest here, was really engaging). Lastly, the autotune is present on almost every song, but, unlike other artists, who use it like a tool, Travis uses it to completely redefine his style, and it clearly can be seen.

    Rodeo is the best Trap album of all time and Travis's best album of all time. I don't think there will ever be another album topping this one. EVER

    FAVOURITE SONGS: Pornography, Oh My Dis Side, 90210, Pray 4 Love, Nightcrawler, Impossible, Antidote, Maria I'M Drunk (even though the OG version is WAY better), I Can Tell, Apple Pie
    LEAST FAVOURITE: Flying High    … Expand

    Why do people like Travis Scott? I legitimately can't figure it out. All he does is rip off the style of others, including but not limited toWhy do people like Travis Scott? I legitimately can't figure it out. All he does is rip off the style of others, including but not limited to Drake, Kendrick, Kid Cudi, and Kanye (this dude is basically a cheap imitation of Kanye, let's be honest). Thus, nothing is special about his music. Almost song on here is unimpressive and unoriginal. The only songs that sound even remotely good are "P*** On Your Grave" (featuring Kanye) and "Pray 4 Love" (featuring The Weeknd). And trust me, Travis Scott is not the reason that these songs are good. Do yourself a favor and don't bother trying to enjoy this album.… Expand
