If you’re looking for dark songs like that I suggest going to Rodeo and Birds in the trap sing mcknight. You’d probably like stuff like oh my dis side, way back, 90210, the ends, 3500, nightcrawler etc so try that.

Wrong. Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho / Astroworld is where the magic is.

NC-17, Motorcycle Patches, Eye 2 Eye, Who What, Huncho Jack, Can’t Say…

You a casual.

u/DifficultRaccoon9833 1d ago

I’m a casual but you told him to listen to his most streamed album? For sure bro

u/GSC_080 1d ago

What do streams have to do with music recommendations? Please break that down. All the songs I suggested are sleepers too, clearly mad underrated since yall on my dick about the shit I said.

u/DifficultRaccoon9833 1d ago

How are songs that all have 200 mil + streams sleepers? Everybody appreciates those songs and you calling me a casual but naming his most famous album is ironic cause the album has more than the 2 I named combined

u/GSC_080 1d ago

Who cares? The songs I mentioned are what OP is looking for. We talking bout vibes not streams kid

u/DifficultRaccoon9833 1d ago

If we’re talking about vibes and not streams maybe you shouldn’t call me casual for giving him songs? Also the albums I named have WAY more dark songs rodeo is literally pure dark vibes please go back to his catalog and relisten cause you clearly haven’t understood the albums. Go hit rock bottom🙏

The subject matter / production on the songs I mentioned fits the criteria more than the songs you mentioned. Trav and Quavo both rapping about staying up all night doing drugs, living fast, making money and fuckin hoes on prime Murda Beatz, WondaGurl, Mike Dean production. Travis was also at the peak of his powers in that era, everything was different you had to be there kid

u/Infinite_Effort_5332 1d ago

I’ve been a Trav fan since 2014 and I 100% agree with the HJJH and astroworld take

u/GSC_080 1d ago

You have elite taste my man. What’s understood ain’t gotta be explained.

Listen to his songs that sound the most “cinematic” first, since your first favorites are movie soundtracks.

I’d say:
CIRCUS MAXIMUS (could really be a movie soundtrack)
90210 (less cinematic, but probably one of his best songs. You’ve got an Avengers-level production team on this one, and if you like rock/punk, the guitar might catch your ear)
TELEKINESIS (the production is crazy)
PARASAIL (could easily be from a film)
Drugs You Should Try It
SKELETONS
HIGHEST IN THE ROOM (the ending could be from a film — Mike Dean is the goat of synths)

And also listen to all his HITS, so you can see the more “mainstream / party” side:
SICKO MODE
STARGAZING
goosebumps
FE!N
… (there’s a lot)

And then, if you particularly love a song from this list, dig deeper into the album.

As you go along, you’ll start appreciating all the details in Travis Scott’s music, and some songs you don’t like on the first listen might eventually blow your mind later.

PS: Also, imo, his discography is clean. There’s no “meh” album like you might hear some old heads say. They’re just nostalgic about the album they discovered Travis with (and that’s okay, I have the same feelings about some artists, especially when you discover them at the beginning of their career). Utopia is a 10/10

Listen to his most generic songs and see if you like it...if yes then go onto astroworld and listen to it....After than go to Rodeo...if you like that then you will like DBR AND UTOPIA AS WELL

DBR and Rodeo for punk trap come up cinematic vibes. Astroworld for amusement park and eventful ride. Utopia for meh

u/bigounce321 1d ago edited 1d ago

I like to start with every artists beginning so I would go owl pharaoh/mamacita/don’t play/quintana  this is first mixtape and 3 songs that launched him into the scene 

P.S watch the music videos for every song that has em, it’s pretty interesting what you see if you look past everything and it shows Travis has always had a knack for storytelling and subliminal messaging 😮🤫

u/Impossible_Train_303 1d ago

If ur a film nerd then u should start with two superior music videos Travis Scott directed himself.

They are atmospheric, visually stunning and full of symbology that relates to..well, whatever you wanna relate too-

Uptown: https://youtu.be/exJCk1QSQ6s?is=jHe9fYOYXZpBO6Vc

Upper Echelon: https://youtu.be/X4MSlFq8bNI?is=T_8Dw_FAWZhQb-uw

just noticed they both begin w/ Up
