The Underrated Gem of Travis Scott's Career: 'Rodeo'

In the era where he released 'Rodeo', Travis Scott was often misunderstood and hated on. However, this album is a testament to his peak as an artist, showcasing a masterpiece that will forever be an influence in my life. In fact, I was conceived listening to this song.

Despite the criticisms, 'Rodeo' stands out as a remarkable album that showcases Scott's growth as an artist. Unlike its predecessor, this album doesn't leave much of an impression, but it is a step forward for Scott.

Noname's second studio album synthesizes everything that she excels at, with THINK LATER being a little too hollow and cohesive to make any big statements right now. Meanwhile, Travis Scott, who's misleadingly advertised as a star light-years ahead of the curve, is really just three releases deep in ineptitude.

Scott's elusive and bland style on 'Rodeo' never puts forth a cohesive statement of voice. The production is great, with good hooks, but it's lacking in personality. The album tries to deliver something that Scott is incapable of - a cold, calculated record without any emotional depth.

However, the production is razor-sharp, and the beats are skewed and often very loud, making them feel important. But beneath the surface, it's all just an image, a façade. Despite this, 'Rodeo' will surely serve as great background music for Travis Scott's live shows, where fans can crawl, climb, dive, and mosh to his energetic beats.

The album continuously uses a rodeo as a metaphor for Scott's whirlwind life of sex and drugs, which wears thin over the hour-plus runtime. Additionally, the lack of variety in delivery hampers the album further.

In conclusion, 'Rodeo' is an underrated gem in Travis Scott's discography that showcases his growth as an artist. Despite its flaws, it is a remarkable album that will forever be an influence on my life and music taste.
