I donât think anyone in the mainstream cared abt Travis until antidote (Q4 2015)
ehhhhhh
Backrooms > Different Day > 2024 > HBA
He went 4/4 tho
HBA last is insane omg
Thug and Uzi are as close to contemporaries as we can get
Beat selection, recording style, vocal inflections, topics, fashion, presentation, everything
He looks up to thug though. They arenât peers and a big part of that is thug coming up in a different era/wave

And Uzi damn near got all of that from Thug, hell he even put him on ss2.
21 savage is like his best friend rn how can we say heâs from a different era from 2016
He just didnât come up via SoundCloud, but stylistically the music he was making that year was very similar to what those guys were doing
bro his music was nothing like that wym
doesnât matter
he was completely different from the 2016-2017 Soundcloud rap wave
the fact that youâre bringing up the fact that birds was a mainstream album just shows how they were in completely different places in their careers
That was his first huge mainstream album though, that was his breakout project to the general public. Rodeo was not that huge

Okay yeah Uzi came up after thug but it was a matter of a year or two
tbh theyâre the kings of giving nothing
need Frank in the mix of this album to complete the 3 wise men
i mean verse wise...

And Uzi damn near got all of that from Thug, hell he even put him on ss2.
Being put on doesnât make you from a different era
bro his music was nothing like that wym
Youâre gonna sit here and tell me Birds is different from the 2016 SoundCloud wave youâre talking about?
Two of the guys from that wave are literally on the album

Bro hopped on a NAV demo
And yet he had 21 savage and (almost) Uzi on the album
my edit added some needed clarification
and also that is irrelevant
thatâs like saying Ye is a drill rapper bc he linked up with Fivio and made Off The Grid
or like saying Drake is leading the charge of rage music because he made IDGAF with Yeat and it went #2 on Billboard
itâs a statement that seems to make sense due to a lack of context
This is reminding me of a super interesting IG reel I just watched one sec I'll make a streamable out of it

Two totally different things. Off the Grid and IDGAF are the only songs that have those styles on those respective albums.
Birds start to finish sounds pretty in line with what was coming out of SoundCloud in 2016, just a little more fleshed out

Look at the 2 people Uzi cites as dream collabs back in 2014 lmao
yo travis didn't even come up on soundcloud
exactly fam
niggas are living in candyland if they think him and Carti and Uzi represent the same wave of Hip-Hop
