Days Before Rodeo provides us with an insight into the artist that is Travis Scott today. his original trap vibe and level of production. Of course, most tracks on the album surround drugs, alcohol, women, etc. but they are engaging and psychedelic. It is clear that Travis started with this dark and eerie theme to his trap music and continued to utilise it to compose Rodeo (although later LPs ASTROWORLD and UTOPIA offer greater diversity). We see that Travis and Thug's chemistry goes way back along with Migos (especially Quavo). I like the production on this record but love how he has expanded today (2024). Sloppy Toppy is a chaotic song, but it works and Mamacita floods any speaker you play the track on. There are some tracks that aren't as exciting as others and La Flame does not showcase how incredible his rap flow can be, however DBR is very impressive with so many memorable songs.
Top 3 tracks: Backyard, Mamacita (R.I.P Rich Homie Quan), DYSTI.
