I know this criticism depends a lot on ones personal views on a couple things, but: Travis Scott played a small (but not 0) part in the Astroworld deaths, and he doesn’t deserve interpersonal hate for his role in the tragedy. That Said, Dave Chappelle deserves every ounce of hate for his recent controversy, and him saying “I FORGIVE MYSELF” as the crescendo of the song ruins PARASAIL for me, and detracts a handful of enjoyment from the album overall.
But, it’s a good album. My expectations of Travis Scott tend to stay pretty low, but he usually handily exceeds them. MY EYES is prob his best verse since Antidote. The opener is great, and TELEKINESIS reminds me of 3500, where Travis and two features all bring the absolute best out of each other.
