5 Course Meal a La Flame

Like him or not, there's no denying that Travis Scott has been one of the biggest names in hip hop in recent years. His combination of unwavering energy, electrifying auto-tuned vocals, and both aggressive and melodic beats has solidified him as one of the most unique artists and performers ever. Outside of rap, the man is a marketing machine, from his deals with McDonald's and Nike, to his own brand of seltzers (RIP Cacti I was getting ripped off those bois in 2021). All this goes to say, he has had an extremely impressive run so far, and I can't see him stopping any time soon.

I wanted to break down 5 of my favorite songs of his. His catalog is eclectic and features so many different styles packed into various singles, albums, features, etc. Let's run it.

wonderful (ft. The Weeknd)

Very glad I waited to write this up because Trav brought out Abel at his Sydney show last week. I heard this song pretty late, after Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight had been out for a while, but if this shit doesn't get you FLOATIN then I honestly don't know what will. These two on track is a guarantee for a spooky, heartfelt song that still slaps the walls. The closing song on the album, I easily could've seen this being an intro depending on the direction he wanted to take things.

sdp interlude

Smoke some. Drink Some. Pop One. Travis strings some simple phrases together and makes it slam perfectly on this interlude off Birds in the Trap. It's another reminder that he can adjust his voice to fit any production, no matter how wild and trippy it gets. The layering of the vocals and the transitions on this track are hypnotic, feeling as if you are actually crossfading in and out of consciousness. The Tavatli remix of this song is also one of my favorite Soundcloud remixes in recent memory.

3500 (ft. Future & 2 Chainz)

Let's take it back to Rodeoooooo with this one. People forget the chokehold 2 Chainz had the game in back in the early 2010s. The man simply could not miss. Then you throw Pluto in to make a Big 3 and there's no way you're ever looking back. The chorus alone on this song ripples throughout the room whenever you play it. No surprise again that La Flame switches things up and slows it down only to spike the energy back up again. It's just child's play for him at this point. Here's yet another remix, this one brought to you by my favorite spin instructor in the nation's capital, Techno TJ.

Black & Chinese

Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho dropped in the midst of an insane run for Travis Scott and Migos, so I was on the edge of my seat when it hit while I was home from college on winter break. Black & Chinese brought an unusual speedy element to the table that I feel like we don't see as much from either of these legends. Hearing that beat rumble and then Travis slide onto the beat feels so organic, then they proceed to pass verses back and forth like a game of ping pong. If you want to hear a track from a collab album that has a natural electricity to it, this is your song. Also check out Motorcyle Patches, that shit's a bop too.

COFFEE BEAN

It's tough to pick a song from ASTROWORLD, but I opted to go with COFFEE BEAN because it just has such a powerful, slow bounce to it. Cactus Jack himself takes his time telling a story and pouring his heart out over the beat, taking a break from his usual powerful ebbs and flows. Just like wonderful, this is a closer for the album, and fades out to end the rollercoaster ride perfectly. He's tuckered himself out across the journey, and is ready to unwind and release his feelings in a calm, collected manner, leaving the audience guessing for what music he'll create next.

Honorable Mention: 2013 XXL Freshman Cypher

This might be one of the most underrated XXL cyphers ever. Backwards hat Trav spitting about speedin on a motorcycle in Abu Dhabi, playin hockey wit some broads in Sweden. Sheeeeesh. With a perfect intro from fellow Freshman class members Joseph Badassery, The Baby Boy Bronsoliño, and the last Black Hippy to get a Wiki, this snippet was before it's time. Travis has changed a lot, but looking back at his roots you can still see the resemblance crystal clear.

LAFAYETTE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?

Text: can't believe Lafayette would chop off all his hair. WHAT!? Marquis, I'll never forgive you. Your actions have an effect on others. So we can't share hair ribbons anymore? No cute updos? It's just Laurens and I alone. We're depressed.

HAHHA I LOVE IT-

and it either ends with

1. one of them winning (prob john)

2. threesome

you ever love that feeling when you read that one fanfic of your fave characters that sends you for an emotional ride and writes the characters so fucking well and the also hate the feeling when you've finished it and it's the most emptiest feeling ever and like life isn't worth living?

[peachy-reader]

my fic is at 5 chapters now!

It's pretty sad so far but I'm excited to add the romance element!

howdy ya'll, I know I don't really make personal posts here and typically only reblog/share images etc., but I'm going to pause that for a brief moment to share my cousin's gfm to save her cat George.

George is 10 years old and one of the sweetest little lovebugs I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He recently got out in a freak accident during the night and was missing for 48 hours during a heatwave. He had never been outside before and was severely injured as well as dehydrated; to recover from his injuries he needs an expensive surgery to repair the damage done to his right hip.

Her and her partner recently had a baby girl named Ellie and are already strapped for cash so they simply cannot afford the $15,000 surgery out of pocket.

I know the internet is full with people who need a little extra help and it's hard to decide who "needs it most," so please don't feel pressured to donate, but if you happen to see this and have a few extra bucks, anything helps.

Thank you for taking the time to read, I hope all of your pets and family members are able to receive the care they need when they need it 🫶
