"Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight" Album Review
Genius

On September 2, breakout star Travi$ Scott released his second studio album, "Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight."

This project was looked at to be one of the biggest releases hip-hop has seen this year. However, it seems Travi$ was unable to handle the pressure because this project seemed to not be what the world was hoping it would be.

This project saw some delays for reasons to be unknown, and some thought this could help the album because it would give him more time to really add some great touches to the project.

As far as the features go for this album, it was more than what any hip hop fan could have ever asked for. On the opening track, Travi$ went for the legend himself, Andre 3000. Now it seems that Andre has been around a lot more recently with his feature on Frank Ocean's album and now this. Travi$ would not stop there, he went on to grab big names like Kendrick Lamar, 21 Savage, and even his idol Kid Cudi. Now with this star-studded feature list, it seemed that these are what really carries the album in a way. The project would not be nearly as well received if the tracks were just Travi$ doing his thing. That is not to sound like the features he picked were bad, but it just makes it seem like people were only talking about who was on the album more than they were talking about Travi$ himself.

The production on this album seemed very rushed and not very well done. Travi$ came into the game looked at as a producer prodigy and to see one of his projects really lack in that category is just kind of odd. It felt like he was going for the trap sound but he really failed to put his own spin on it. With his last album, "Rodeo," it felt like he really found his own sound that everyone was trying to duplicate but on this thing, it felt like he was the one chasing everyone else.

Now even though Travi$ has never been known for his lyricism, he can still rap. Some of his bars are a little sub-par but when it comes down to it, he can spit. The bars on this album were just all around not very good. It felt that he was just doing what most other big names are doing now and just mumble on the track and hope the flow and the beat can carry to success and this was very disappointing to see with him.

Al in all. this project just felt very rushed and not very well done. Which could have been expected with the position he is in. After his last album, he was really buzzing and everyone was talking about him. He seemed very eager to put out a new album and it shows that this was not the one he should have dropped.

Rating: 5/10

Standout Tracks: "Through the late night," "Beibs in the trap," "the ends, "goosebumps," and "outside"

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
