    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.

    Rodeo deftly accomplished one thing: Scott's sound is cemented. [#267, p.93]

    Travi$ Scott made an enjoyable album for his fans peppered with undeniable bangers for his detractors.

    Rodeo's back end after “Antidote” begin to mesh together and gets repetitive.... Nonetheless, the originality of Scott’s sound within this new movement provides for a strong rookie effort leaving the listener excited for a career that is just getting started.

    It's just disappointing that in the midst of a year defined by monumental hip-hop albums, Travi$ Scott chose now as the time to come lukewarm.

    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!… Full Review »

As a fellow HHH, we're surrounded by simplistic artists like Future, Migos, etc and by "real" hip hop like Kendrick and J. Cole. Travis Scott has struck a cord, albeit closer to simplistic rap, between the two genres. The album broods with absolutely beautiful instrumentals like Pornography and 90210 to deep cuts like 3500 and Piss on Your Grave. However, there is one exception to the album. There are no "bangers". This isn't Days Before Rodeo in the slightest, with the exception of Drugs You Should Try. The features are all fitting, and the album rides smoothly without getting too boring. If you're a fan of Travis for his signature autotune sing song rap, listen to this immediately.… Full Review »
