"Drugs You Should Try It" is my favorite Travis Scott's song of all time.

Prank your dad and play him an album you absolutely hate and see how long it takes for him to catch on

i love how raw and honest travis was in this project. just a kid tryna show everyone his talents, will always love this record.

The day we’ve all been waiting for

That raw Travis we all want to hear again

Can confirm, this was on REPEAT during my 2014/15 high school years! Sloppy Toppy and Mamacita are absolute classics from my old friend group and DYSTI, Backyard, The Prayer, Dont Play, and Skyfall are all classic Travis to me!

The Prayer is one of my favourite intro tracks of all time, think it sets the vibe so perfectly and it’s just a banger of a track

Sloppy toppy reaction was exactly as how I expected 💀

I’m gonna listen to the album for the first time with you right now dad.

Backyard & Grey are literal timeless songs for me, just takes me back to being a hs freshmen in 2014. When the mixtape dropped these were automatically my favorites by far, even back then as a 14 yr old kid I could see the potential Travis had, and it all came full circle when he lived up to the expectations in 2018 with Astroworld, I just wish I could go back to the LaFlame Era man, this mixtape will always hold a special place in my heart🤞🏽

DBR is one of those “Time Machine” albums for me. It takes me back to a happy time in my life and I love to listen to every single song. So many different moods so it’s makes for a great listen, or you can just put Sloppy Toppy on repeat, that works too

DBR came out my freshman year of HS and I can say it truly changed the way I viewed and listened to music. I used to be that person that would heavily focus and favor traditional/lyrical rap like Kendrick, Cole, Joey, Nas etc… But when I listened to this for the first time, the dark/eerie production and Travis’ ability to use auto tune and his voice as an instrument blew me away. Now in 2023 some songs may sound a little outdated and less refined, but back then it was like nothing I’d ever heard before sonically. It helped me understand the importance of production and melodies, and made the music from artists like Thug and Future finally click for me (at the time they were considered “mumble” rappers). Although I do think Rodeo is his best work and it’s my personal all time favorite album, I love the experimental rawness on DBR. It has songs like DYSTI and Skyfall which are both in my personal Top 5 favorite Trav songs. Anyways great reaction, I can’t wait to hear Utopia and see your guys’ reaction to it as well!

I was there at the original rodeo Travis was talking about! He won the gold medal in the barrel race. Absolute monster

Always had a fond appreciation for this mixtape as songs like zombies, skyfall, and dysti are very much early versions of things travis would perfect later on rodeo, but that rawness of what he was doing on here always bring back good memories of this era of travis and the songs overall are really good. Oh and in case y'all were wondering Quintana pt 1 was on the mixtape you mentioned that came out before this one, Owl Pharaoh

Travis just doesn’t miss. Used to listen to this album everyday on the bus in 2014

I love how y’all really take in the music and look at it objectively. Like even if you may not like a song as much you can highlight the strong points of a track and who it may cater to and what the artist was trying to achieve. Best page

Got into Travis my freshman year of college in 2017. Dude had mainstream hip hop in a chokehold. Antidote was still getting played at parties, Goosebumps, Pick up The Phone, and then Love Galore. On top of 2017/2018 being goated years already. Then Astroworld dropping 2018 my sophmore year, that's when I really got into most of his soundcloud music (unreleased). Man, miss those days.

The first video I saw of you guys was your father’s introduction to Hip Hop with TPAB! I’ve enjoyed literally watching him become a fan over the year. He’s learned a new appreciation for the music and I’ve grown a new respect for him. My father raised me in hip hop and I really enjoy sharing other types of music with him and these videos really inspired me to share more. So I just wanna thank y’all! Btw DAYS BEFORE RODEO was the 1st album I thought of during that TPAB introduction, thinking of how long it’d take before he’s “ready” for that side of rap, and look! Keep going y’all, please!

this is everything i needed and more. love you guys and travis

god i love this mixtape so much, your reactions are always the best 💪💪

I would say “Rodeo” is Travis’ best project but in terms of no skips at all I'm going with “Days Before Rodeo”.

This project changed the landscape of hip hop.

To mention Kevins take on what Utopia should be in the beginning of the video: Astrothunder had real bass played by Thundercat, one of the main reasons why I love that song so much. I'd like more collabs like that. Lost Forever, if it's on Utopia, might be a favorite for Kevin

Had the chance to see Travis Scott on my birthday during the Rodeo Tour in 2015 and it was by far the most energetic show I've seen to date. This album was such a refreshing change for hip hop and I absolutely knew he was going to be a superstar from that mixtape!

I think this lower sound quality Travis is a lot better than the hyper-polished stuff he has released over the last few years.

Best review you guys have done by far😂😂😂😂 straight fun and I’m glad the both of you had not heard this before! The reactions were priceless!😂😂😂 I definitely felt the same way about the tape when I first heard it and showed it to everyone I knew

I love this album I bought and downloaded it on Apple Music before it was removed and I still have and listen to it to this day because it’s timeless to me

Backyard gotta be one of the best songs ever produced.

loved this reaction and yalls channel. i remember listening to a song from owl pharaoh first back then not realizing who travis was at the time. then i was reminded by my friend in high school when he dropped DBR and it was a wrap ever since. yall encapsulated it perfectly about how i felt at the time as a kid listening to that tape. the production is definitely rough and not as rich as his studio albums as yall realized listening to it in 2023. im biased since this was what put me onto travis but i really think DBR is his peak form in terms of the dark atmospheric vibes and ideas he brought. this is where he was LA FLAME or LA FLAME was truly born. Rodeo is an undisputed classic but i feel as if the ideas on DBR were more varied and interesting but Rodeo's production and execution is just way more polished. DBR encapsulates a moment in time equal to how nostalgic and amazing 2016 was for me. Its my personal favorite travis project and my favorite mixtape of all time. I still replay it often every year. Birds felt like a return to his La Flame form in instances. I like it and its definitely underrated/over critiqued among travis scott fans. Astroworld is a great Travis Scott album to appease his mainstream reach but the 5 year wait since then hasnt been great for OG travis fans. many like myself have grown to enjoy other artists far more in recent times because of that and his mediocre features in the past couple years. I hope Travis really did recall his mindset from back when he was making owl pharaoh and during the DBR/Rodeo days for Utopia. Im tapering my expectations because everyone overhypes everything these days but as a fan of Travis since i was a kid, I still have faith and expectations that he can maintain and help the genre to grow like others are doing such as Uzi and Carti. Ive been a fan of carti and uzi more lately but travis is still the biggest and best trapper so he has a lot of pressure and expectations to live up to regardless.

Favorite mixtape oat. So much creativity is the production. It’s not polished but it goes hard asl. I wish he could make something like this again

I was waiting for this vid, always love to see people react to this masterpiece

I waited so long for this video, thanks for making ittt IT´S LIT

Dysti #1 trav song by far has got me through some tough times over the years. Played this my entire senior year of high school and even to this day

This is the Travis Scott I fell in love with no homo. That unpolished, grimy, bigger than life auto tune sound is what set him apart from everybody else and is the reason why I enjoy his music so much. DYSTI, Mamacita, Sloppy Toppy, Backyard, BACC will always be legendary to me

Always super entertained and engaged by these videos. Actually had the chance to serve the dad at the restaurant where I work; super cool and funny dude. Love this channel.

I just thought about if you had already listened to this. You guys are always right on time. Much love

I miss this era travis, that gritty, ominous sound was what drew me to him.

Dysti is my favorite song of all time. Surprised u never heard it connor

Man this review took my back to when this mixtape literally ran my summer with my friends and I. Had just graduated high school and had one of the best summers of my life. Such a dope review

I have been waiting for you to listen to this for like a year now thank you!

This mixtape was my first introduction to Travis, 2015, as Rodeo’s about to release. I was doing a lot of commuting so I had a lot of time to myself to digest these sounds. Nothing like I’ve ever heard before. But I am a huge Kid CuDi fan and would slightly hear some influence. First semester in college and this tape easily became my theme music for the following months. I would think about these songs everyday. I realized everything Trav did on these tracks was what I was sonically attracted to; drums/melodies. From “DYSTI” & “Backyard” being the first songs I was obsessed with, to being able to see Trav perform “Basement Freestyle” on the Birds Eye View Tour and now in 2023 “Zombies” is probably the song I’ve played most this year. Can’t wait for Utopia.

It’s crazy watching you guys transform, esp. Pops. Been watching since 🌙 shaped pool. Love how you guys use timing.

I love you guys! I love Trav and your takes on him. Can't wait for the Utopia react!!!

I have never clicked on a video faster than this one ngl, great vid as usual, love u guys

im glad you guys liked skyfall, that song is awesome

For me, I think Khruangbin are one of the best artists in music right now and an artist like Travis could work amazing with them. They're a psychedelic funk/rock type of group but they're so unique and encapsulating, I wouldn't be surprised if they get even more exposure soon.

THANK YOU GUYS 😭 made my day

i was waiting for this one. One of my favourite Trav albums

Sloppy toppy is my favourite off the mixtape. The production is all over the place yet hits so fucking hard, as well as everyone absolutely murdering their verse.

This is perfect timing because I just rolled up & went to KZfaq for something to watch 😂😂

I’ve been waiting for this video for ever

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time

Brilliant video as usual, I'm so surprised that Conor has never heard Drugs you should try it. It's one of travs best tracks ever. Glad you both got to experience that., phenomenal track

I love this video man this is so wholesome

backyard is what truly made me a travis fan, one of my favorite song from him

5:04 what kevin is discussing about live instruments is exactly what playboi carti has done with bringing his guitarist friend OJI on every show he peroforms, it adds such a nice layer to every song

Travis’s most overlooked work. Personally I think it’s his second best after rodeo

Listening to this while on my trip to Houston. Love yall

ive been waiting all my life for this

I can guarantee you this album will grow on you and you will be obsessed with it. The rawness in this album is what's so good about it, and part of the reason I was obsessed with it in 2014, and kinda lost interest in Travis towards his later albums, was because his later stuff was missing the rawness he had at first. Love his growth, but definitely I tend to gravitate to this early stuff. Man I was obsessed with this album. Also, Quintana pt.1 is on Owl Pharoah.

in my opinion Owl Pharaoh is one of my favorite Travis Scott projects. You can really hear and feel the influence Kanye had on it as well as hearing the influence of Travis on Kanye's later works, like Yeezus. Great video guys!

LETS GOOOO some days before rodeo recognition is what I needed to make my day rn

I was searching for this video yesterday I thought it was already out tysm

I cant believe youve never heard this entire record, one of my favorites. Perfect video before the release of utopia.

Had this album on repeat in high school. His newer stuff is definitely better but DBR will always hold a special place in my heart.

One of my fav album from Travis, def top 3 🤩🤩

I've waited so long for this. Weekend = made

Man young thug had the best verse on mamacita lowkey. I loved his laid back flow on that and when he said “I do not fuck with America, I get it straight off the boat” 🔥🔥🔥

There’s actually a video where Travis is recording the hook for Skyfall in the studio. Probably one of the most hype “we struck gold” moments to watch organically

thank you for doing my favorite mixtape of all time

One of my favorite Travis projects. High school was lit listening to this. I remember playing the whole thing on KZfaq constantly.

39:10 your dad doesn’t miss😂😂

Damn I remember when this came out !!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Good times

I remember this dropping in later 2014 and seeing Travis live in spring 2015 when he went on tour with Thug. Was the best concert I had ever been to. Prior to Trav coming on stage Future 56 Nights dropped the same day as the concert so they ran through that a bunch of times. It was just a special time for music for me and memories that I made during my time in college and the nostalgia music brings. Days Before Rodeo will always be special for me and really all music that dropped that I liked from 2013-2017. Great review fellas!

Hadn't listened to this for so long this reminded me of how much of a masterpiece it is

DBR and rodeo are so close in my book. I LOOOOVE DBR.

28:10 he was right. Metro did produce skyfall. There’s a clip of metro and Travis in the studio recording this. Fire that he can recognize that

i’ve been waiting for this for so long i love you

dude you have no clue how much happiness seeing this notification brought me

Start - 0:01 End - 51:30

Your dad gonna love utopia for sure

Hadn’t heard it in a while but wow I forgot how much I love Skyfall, one of my favorite Travis songs ever🔥🔥

I heavent really listened to this as a mixtape itself more of a collection of songs and going back with this reminds me of some little things that gave my Travis playlist a lot of flavor

Would love an owl pharaoh reaction - cool to see your dad react to the progression artist like Travis have had over their career

Sloppy Toppy and Drugs you should try it are some of my favorite all time Travis songs. This mixtape is so underrated along with Owl pharaoh

Letsss goooo. Been waiting for this one

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS

the instrumation on this album is definitely one of the instrumations of all time.

Not enough people know about how solid and fun af this mixtape is

Oh you did a CLASSIC. So excited for utopia

It’s a shame it’s not on Spotify or Apple Music

The reaction to Offset’s verse on Sloppy Toppy 😂

Bro I'm dead😭 "If I was Travis, which I'm not"😭

Been waitin for this one

this and acid rap were my high school soundtrack

Patiently waiting for Utopia reaction

Oh damn, I never would have expected DBR on this channel

I beg y’all review Beautiful Thugger Girls! Love this podcast, keep it up guys!

DYSTI is one of his best songs. Don't Play is also insane to hear live, i honestly think that song summarizes the live show experience of travis scott.
