From start to finish, the songs on this album are unilaterally empty calories. But whatever knowledge Travis has obtained over the years is completely absent from the production on Birds.

And fortunately, he was able to take his production/song creation experiences and really apply them well into Rodeo. Music collective on Cruel Summer, Drake on the song “Company” - and even with rising stars such as Young Thug and Migos. Over this time period, Travis had, most notably, worked with Kanye West on Yeezus, the G.O.O.D. For starters, it’s not nearly as good as Rodeo was - Rodeo being Travis’ debut commercial album - an album that perfectly captured Travis’ development over the course of approximately three years. This album suffers from an array of issues. And in many ways digresses back to the Owl Pharaoh and Days Before Rodeo era in Travis’ career where he didn’t have much of a distinct sound and wasn’t showing much promise as a rapper nor producer. It’s arguable that Birds has a bad case of the sophomore slump. And yes, it has some good moments moments where you’re hooked into a refrain that’s minimal and catchy a catchiness that reminds you of how fun music - particularly rap music - can truly be. People say Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight is good.

And it became apparent that artistic development was Travis’ greatest skill. Most of these new Atlanta artists have struggled to produce a solid album that is both conceptually cohesive and instrumentally distinct generally, their albums do not develop in way you’d expect an album should. His production style borrows almo st exclusively from this “new Atlanta” sound a sound that is exceedingly built on slow-mo rap, druggy lyrics, trap percussion, and repetitive hooks a sound that’s been heavily popularized by artists such as Future, Young Thug, OG Maco, Migos, and even Chief Keef to an extent however, where Travis differs from these artists - which was as clear as day on last year’s Rodeo- is his ability to take this sound - a sound that has produced many great singles and club hits - and make it album-worthy. Travis Scott is a Kanye West prodigy and southern rap connoisseur.
