Reacting to 'Astroworld' by Travis Scott

Even Views and More Life have different sounds that Drake makes work. Rapping isn't crazy but still pretty good.

I could not continue once I saw it for censored, I’m so sad man

Ben

A little late to the party but think of the entire album as a carnival/astroworld itself that’s the reason why there’s so many beat switches, variety and changes in tempo in terms of the beats in the flow of the album it’s a lot of high highs and low lows one after another like a rollercoaster. Even in song structures like Stargazing and Sicko Mode Travis said he wanted to make those songs sound like you’re on a ride at Astroworld

If you do Tame Impala i recommend the debut, it's way more rock oriented than Currents and also regarded by most as better, Currents is just the most popular one

Christopher Bloom

+1 For Tame Impala - Currents

Layne Simpson

Do a tame impala album!!

At this point I feel like Bob should be reading every single Drake genius annotation because every single bar goes over his head and I don’t blame him but it’s kind of annoying watching him constantly criticize him when the most basic bars are getting missed.

Ali b

hoping you do one of my personal favorites i don’t like shit i don’t go outside by earl sweatshirt, keep up the great content!

Craig Carter

while you were listening to skeletons you commented about the features not really doing much and that’s intentional. on streaming services the features are not shown and that’s on purpose. this whole album he uses peoples voices more as instruments and layers!

Boring Name

Fair criticism 👍

Bob_the_Poppop

I feel the same way for the most part. I remember a couple times where the song was pretty chopped due to the censoring, but I honestly enjoyed the album despite some of those gaps

Bob_the_Poppop

When I said I wasn't gonna focus on lyrics I guess I really meant it lol

Bob_the_Poppop

Yeah, there isn't a lot of substance

Bob_the_Poppop

Yup, totally agree

Bob_the_Poppop

Now that I understand the verse, it all makes a lot more sense. Creepy as shit imo, but at least it carries a punch

Bob_the_Poppop

I've been listening to the correct version ever since 👍

Bob_the_Poppop

This is my favorite take away so far 😂

Bob_the_Poppop

I think it's a result of the censored version

Bob_the_Poppop

Travis was not rapping like Nas, not even close, but he at least had some energy in his flow. Drake sounded like he was still on his Xanny. HOWEVER! Now that I understand his verse more and what it meant, his verse carries a lot more weight imo

Bob_the_Poppop

lol, fair

Bob_the_Poppop

It carries a lot more weight with me now that I understand what he was actually saying

Bob_the_Poppop

It is

Bob_the_Poppop

Man u needa jus listen to Drake’s discography cause theres no way u should be giving him this much hate without listening to NWTS and If you’re reading this its too late at least, but i do recommend going to his older stuff also like So Far Gone and Thank Me Later

Jesus Inzunza

yeah, sorry man :(

Bob_the_Poppop

It is. Huge L on my part. And why didn't I just switch versions between tracks? I wish I had a reasonable answer for that 🤷‍♂️

Bob_the_Poppop

This is fair. My opinion on his verse has changed a lot now that I understand it more. I'll talk more about that on Wednesday. But I do need to confront this 'Drake Hate' demon that is festering inside. I think a reaction to Nothing Was the Same is due.

Bob_the_Poppop

you should listen to 4:44 or The Black Album by Jay Z

Darius

You seem to levy a lot of criticism against drake for things that you don't against others. That's fine but it seems biased, especially when you're saying it's a vibe album and saying drake isn't saying anything. Enjoyed the review.

Jack Banner

Drake fans more sensitive than Drake himself

Chance Mercado

It’s very obvious that you went into sicko mode expecting to not like the Drake feature. Rap culture went crazy for that combo & that song when this album was released. And I say this in the context of your reaction. You said at the beginning that you were more focused on the vibe of the album and not the lyrics, then immediately shit on his lyrics.

Shutt

i think skeletons works really with the idea of them being much more like an ensemble than the prototypical rap feature. I feel like there’s loads of people who are featured on tracks that don’t get noticed all the time unless you go on genius.

Jorge Campos Jr.

Damn i didn't even know that a censored version existed lol

xoog

Soul Food and Scarface - The Diary would be cool southern albums.

Bakke

Skeletons was originally a Kanye song with a lengthy Kanye verse but was scrapped and given to Travis without the Kanye verse, that's why it might sound somewhat "unfinished"

Christopher Bloom

Thoroughly enjoyed this one (even with the censored version lol). You gotta do 4 your eyez only by J Cole soon

Mo23433

I agree about Drake and always have, I genuinely do not understand what people see in him

joseph

Besides No Bystanders where the censored version literally does derail the song it doesn't make much difference that's its censored to where it means anything for the reaction.

Gavin

Stevie Wonder played the harmonica on stop trying to be god 5% Tint is based on a Goodie Mob song. You should definitely check out Goodie Mob - Soul Food, it's a classic from the same era (and crew) as OutKast, and has some great features from them as well.

snooza

No idea how you sat through the censored music lmaooo great reaction nevertheless

Lex

Travis’ lyrics make absolutely no sense like 90% of the time lol. Like he’s just saying shit. I still enjoy a lot of this album though

VeganMilk

Massive L on drake hate, way to bias on hate

kman

You should react to bone thugs n harmony- E.1999 or Cam’ron -come home with me

Bgreggie

massive L for this censored version man

John Stearns

I mean he's allowed to not like him, not sure why you're automatically assuming he only doesn't like him because people told him to, pretty sure he's capable of forming his own opinion

Cory

Drake is a very corny individual but Nothing was the same and If you’re reading this its too late definitely require a listen. This is where you find peak Drake

Litty Again

Fun fact: “Williamsburg” by Jpegmafia samples Butterfly Effect from this album

VeganMilk

DEO 🤭

Devon

Listen to Nothing was the Same and watch the drake hate switch up

Kevin Lauture

cant say my fav travis song

Jay

Drake hater to the fullest, unbelievable smh lol. The whole verse was directed at Kanye

Kevin Lauture

"Stop trying to be good" had me dying laughing for whatever reason hahaha. Wish you stopped and switched to an uncensored version, but still a great reaction.

Brandon White

Listen to the explicit version for the better experience bob! Either way great video

Jorge Roman

Bobs a mad Drake hater jeeez, them discord boys really got in your head 😂

Tribecalledjoe

There is an uncensored version today just makes it confusing to find it (there’s like three versions of astroworld)

Mahmood Al Mardi

For the lyrics my senior quote was actually from carousel. “I don’t need a vacation I need a replacement”

あすなSwag

I guess Tidal didn't have an uncensored version of the album? That kinda sucks. Would have been annoying to go look up the uncensored version for many songs individually especially as you wouldn't know a track is censored until it gets to a censored part. I guess multiple songs were hits/singles so they did radio edits.

Samu Tolvanen

hmm. shame that it’s the censored version of the album. 😐😕

Ballsac Schrader

AND PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO WITHOUT WARNING (the uncensored ver plz lol)

virgoitis

Listened to the Fortnite version lol

Makrel

I know you felt like the song with Tame Impala was missing something but you still need to react to them. Kevin Parker is Tame Impala. he makes up all the music. I know you also said people said to react to Currents but you should react to them in order started from Innerspeaker from 2010 which is his best album in my opinion. I would say he’s this generations Pink Floyd honestly lol

Tapes

This album will forever hold a special place in my heart. I vividly remember the release night of astroworld and my first time listen. I didn’t have a streaming subscription and I bought the album on Apple Music. The only thing I listened to for weeks. I can say I only really have had a couple experiences in life more memorable than it.

あすなSwag

Glad you finally got to hear the GOAT Nav 🐐

VeganMilk

also i know you’ve had questions about stevie wonder but he was on the harmonica (the other instrument you liked on stop trying to be god)

virgoitis

mannnn it’s the censored version rip

jakob

Yeah not a good choice listening to the censored version, how about you do 'Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight' a Travis album between Rodeo and Astroworld.

ufo

Did tidal never fix the quietness of navs verse wtf💀💀

Jay

Lol damn you really dont like Drake. I just don't understand you said his verse was about nothing, but skip over Travis verse like he was rapping like Nas or something 😂. You really need to react to Nothing was the same album

james moore

I hope he doesn't, he already put in over two hours. It's really the first mistake he's made that made a reaction tough to watch, and I'm sure he learned his lesson w the censored stuff lol

Trevor

Bro this version of the album is so bad lmao it really messes up the flow on each song, they sound unfinished.

Zach Gupta

Bob: “I’m not gonna analyze the lyrics” Also Bob: “Ima go in deep on these drake lyrics”

CRASH

Zack

You done fucked up bob

Artron

I’m bummed it’s the censored version but goddamn this is hilarious after having this reaction delayed for so long

CRASH

I completely agree with Bob tbh, his verse is so overrated. The flow is awful, I hate when he does that whisper shit and tries to act hard, he does it on stuff like Nonstop as well. Comes off awkward

cameron mackinnon

Drake’s verse was good lol you trippin

Dildeep Singh

Why is no one talking about the fact that there’s a producer named “Young Larry David”

Leverage

Censored version is trash bro

Wagner Ananias

He fumbled the bag hard with this one 😆. Can’t wait for the outrage on the yt comment section!

Ersin Günay

Damn Bob, is it really the censored all the way through? Completely changes the album (and not for the better lol) Hopefully you get to hear it uncensored going forward

Trevor

Lol he did but didn’t switch to uncensored 🤣🥲

Ersin Günay

Bob I am in now way at all a drake fan, but his verse was actually really decent considering what was happening four years ago and his feature is what made this song so damn popular. Also gotta switch to uncensored versions no bystanders sounding like shit😂

Jay

We need Lil Wayne, future, and young thug reactions

Lo

This man is a total menace for listening to the censored version of No Bystanders 🤣!

Ersin Günay

Listening to the censored version really killed my boner

isaac wells

Drakes verse is about Kanye and directions how to get to his house. You’re definitely a drake hater at this point but I still got love for you.

Mike G

LWTS GOOOO BEST FRIDAY GIFT

trevor gardner

Censored oh nooooo. Lol Travis Scott fans waiting decades to get the censored, feels bad for them edit: being a drake hater makes me like you even more

Xavvi

damn is this the censored version?

Oskari Vesterinen

Yea tidal means its the mastered quality version. Meaning the best sound as far as clarity. You have to look for the parental advisory sticker to know if its the explicit version or not

james moore

i’m assuming he realized it was the censored version by the time he got to NO BYSTANDERS lol i’m hoping

Zack

Subbed to the patron just so I can watch this. i plan to stay subbed though. this content is always my weekly form of entertainment

Dylan

YAAAAA but also i hvnt watched it yet and everybody is already saying he got the censored version. damn. sad boi hours :(

nrxdnz
