FlapheadDeeply annoying that now a lot of valid criticisms of the album (the difference between a standard guest verse and actual standout moments for ex.) are now going to get lumped into this headass’s ad hominems
Granted I liked the album generally, but nuance should be a part of the review cycle and this was an annoyingly predictable move from pitchfork
HHDX's narrative about the album>P4K's and I'm closer to agreeing with P4K than DX
P4K is crap

If that's how they feel, then that's how they feel. Stupid criticism? I guess, but that's their perspective.
Saying "Travis's album doesn't sound regional enough" from a guy who doesn't even come from or live in Texas to boot, is not even remotely a valid criticism. It's not even a bad criticism, it's a hypocritical and useless dig.

Imagine telling someone from Texas they don't sound "Texan" enough when you're from Georgia lmao
Jul 31, 2023·3 repliesSkinn FoleyWhy does there have to be a man behind the aesthetics? Is there a man behind "Pump Up the Jam"? "What Time Is Love"? "All My Chains"? A story? Like come on.
ok but Playboi Carti gets a 8.3 for also saying nothing of substance but "having personality" while doing it lol
This is why music criticism is so biased/narrative driven, the barometer is different for every artist/project

Carti didn't sound like he was cosplaying someone else, though. Also yes personality through music has a big effect on its quality lol.

What is Carti's personality lmao
A guy who likes d**** and Playstation? I love Carti too but aside from namechecking the death of his brother and some anonymous musings about whatever constitutes a "romantic life" for King Vamp, none of his music has any personality. It's all style, and that's why we love it.

He's not importing white culture to hip hop nor eroding the genre economically. Therefore, not gentrifying
Thanks for the ChatGPT ass response that completely misses the tenor of the discussion in order to gotcha another poster. You can be sure it fell on deaf ears.
Travis has been an empty vessel for music industry influence for years now, aided by his own lack of voice and perspective, allowing him to be the sound of millions. My point was that accusing posters of "being white" for not enjoying the new album from a living, breathing algorithm with a massive white fanbase is inane.

idk wtf his personality is but you definitely feel more of it than Travis as a vocalist. Cmon man lol. We get absolutely 0 emotion from Travis. He delivers everything through the same monotone delivery.
Jul 31, 2023·1 replySkinn FoleyThat's a byproduct of commodity fetishism, not anything incumbent to assessing the quality of the music as music, nor the artistry behind it.
Commodification is rampant in the music itself, as well as Travis the brand, so is it really surprising some listeners look at it through those terms

I didn't "accuse" anyone of being white, I accused you of being racist, because you were being racist, as I proved in my post you're quoting. You can be non-white and still be racist, and you can be non-white and uphold white supremacy, wittingly or otherwise. And that's what you did by, wittingly or otherwise, undermining Travis Scott's blackness and the inherent blackness of his music because he is essentially a popular artist who doesn't make overtly personal records.
