Travi$ Scott - Days Before Rodeo - best rap release of 2014 so far?

oh yeah i liked the king louie tape, don't know why didn't think about it.

also Pyramid Vritra's Palace ep on Stones Throw is really good.

Took days for 1 person to even mention the Gibbs/Lib album.

But this stuff:

"YG - My Krazy Life
A-Wax - Pullin' Strings
Beatking - GSM 2
Shy Glizzy - Young Jefe
Vince Staples - Shyne Coldchain Vol.2
Migos - No Label II
Travis Porter - Music Money Magnums 2
Mouse On Tha Track - Air Time
Common - Nobodys Smiling
Doughboyz Cashout - We Run The City 4"

I got the howling fantods thinking ppl are listening to these albums , are above the age of 20, and look down on T.S album. It's so much better produced that any of this stuff (other than Madlib/gibbs).

And YG? Why would you listen to YG?

OK David Foster Wallace reference is seetting off sock puppet meter

Tanuki what is your opinion of DJ MUSTARD

why can't any of these cheap southern rap tapes by travis porter and migos get production from metro boomin and fki!

ha

Travis co pro on 3 tracks, probably uncredited on more. Mike Dean I bet on more than one two by the sounds. The wundagurl tracks def has Travis on it. At the same time, you're proving my point in that case - how are you hating on this album when you seem to like everythign about it?

tell me any of those albums listed have anything like -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaP2mS13QgI

those albums listed don't have anything like that 'cause i don't like to listen to kanye/drake/future cut'n'paste. Those albums listed don't sound like anyone else's music.

"Those albums listed don't sound like anyone else's music."

O_0...........-_-

iii don't wannaa buuuuuuuuuyyy no more, youre shit ant getting me higggggghhhhh no mo

Re: the travis scott track you just posted ... that record sucks ass bro. if it was derivative but at least had some decent songwriting i wouldn't mind, but its shapeless/formless meandering solipsism in song form ... makes kid cudi seem like a mercenary hitmaker in comparison

Lol so racoon Tanuki was a deej sock all along

Nicely played

the kanye keef cosign has created some very strange alliances

"drugs you can buy it" isn't bad but it just sounds like kid cudi, maybe kid cudi doing witchouse if we're being generous. not entirely sure how that is appealing.

D40 i respect your hate game

Racoon Tanuki is Mr Que

D40 rap steve called Skyfall track "boring" then posted the boring Hot BOyz intro with Gucci as a representative "good" young thug tracks. Ehhhh

"i respect your hate game" = new board description

Haha who/what is a 'rap steve'

"folks were steving for that wackassed shit"

maybe because his voice isn't buried in reverb and it doesn't take three minutes of autotuned groaning to get to his verse on 'hot boyz intro'

but actually his verse on 'hot boyz' is better in basically every way ... lyrics, energy, the phrasing he uses, the opening

i agree that "hot boyz" into is kinda boring

...

that verse is awesome you're trippin

tbh i find it hard to get excited about any song gucci mane is on in 2014 he sounds so lifeless :(

i mostly love the opening of thugger's verse

Drop top baby...

listening to the youtube raccoon tanuki posted...not feeling this new interpol album :/

Damn

lolllll

i want to believe that Racoon Tanuki is and_what

yo is it true D-40 got steved by a Tanuki after a ilx rap beef??????

How can you not love the gucci mane?

just listened to my first ever Travis Scott song and there are *at least* 10 songs on My Krazy Life better, no discussion

i like the title "Days Before Rodeo" sounds like a Mazzy Star song or something

Soundtrack to Cowboy Bebop reboot

lmao m@tt

Some other releases (that havent been mentioned) I like better than T$

100s - IVRY
Laroo & Jacka - Never Be The Same: No Mercy
Twista - Back To The Basic
Rick Ross - Mastermind
Joe Blow - True Story
ST Spittin - The Morning Show
Schoolboy Q - Oxymoron
Clyde Carson - Playboy
Ray West & OC - Rays Cafe
Roach Gigz - Roachy Balboa 4

I'd also way rather listen to old head releases by Onyx, Mobb Deep and Cormega as well, despite their imperfections.

Onyx surprisingly good!

Brad Paisley's iPhone "album titles" memo pad hacked.

i mostly love the opening of thugger's verse

Drop top baby...

with the BIRDman I know you HEARD man

RT srs or not confirming my theory that Trav Dolla $cott is a way for "cooler" (however defined but mean this negatively obv) rap fans to listen to currently buzzing rappers/producers without really listening to their own stuff. I mean don't get me wrong Kanye's thrown some guests on his albums & made it work even some times where I haven't been a fan of 'em otherwise, but this guy? Nah

Yes

Throwing in Iamsu!'s,Sage The Gemini's and G-Side's albums on the ever-growing list of 2014 rap albums that are better than Scott's. And probably Zilla Shit 3 too, although I haven't listened to it yet.

Also, 10 Summers.

yeah i love the IamSu! album

Schoolboy Q, really?
