So instead of me going down the whole entire track list, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to get my first impressions of specific tracks that I wanted to highlight off of this album. And track three titled Modern Jam is one of them. Because what in the world was Travis Scott thinking using this beat? Now I'm not saying that in a bad or good way. All I'm saying is what in the world was Travis got thinking when rapping over this beat? The beat is very unorthodox, produced by Guy Manuel and some dude I've never heard before. And I haven't tried to be disrespectful.

I just don't know. And of course, the legendary Mike Dean. We will never disrespect Mike Dean. I don't know how or why, but this man is climbing up the ranks as the best producer just to ever live. So anyways, that's besides the point. Modern Jam has a crazy, unique beat that I've never heard in my life. I think, in general, this is what Little Uzi Verk was trying to do. when he was experimenting with a lot of beats.

Because if you listen to the track by Little Uzi-Verte and Travis Scott titled A off a pink print, obviously it's not like this beat, but that type of vibe that A captured, Travis Scott captured on this entire album. The way that Little Uzi-Virt leaned heavily into the rock genre, Travis Scott did not do with this album. He was strictly rapping over experimental type beats.

And I feel like that's a testament to his lyricism. And yes, I did say lyricism for an auto-tune rapper, which kind of sounds like an oxymoron. But, I mean, technically, Little Wayne is an auto-tune rapper. But, you know, that's besides a point. Not comparing Travis Scott lyrically to Little Wayne, but just saying that he definitely attempted to give us his most double, triple entendre-esque bar.

that was pretty fulfilling for me as a listener. So all I got to say is for Modern Jam to play the way it did and to sound the way it did first listen, because of course this is his first impression, it's not exactly a review. I believe that this will end up being one of the more experimental tracks off of the album as all of the other beats I heard throughout the album was pretty more hip-hop-centric.

Of course, Modern Jam had hip-hop elements, but I do believe on the experimental side, it was the highest on the scale. But anyways, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. Do you think I'm tripping with my review of Modern Jam? Is it your favorite track off of Utopia? And also, what is your favorite track, if not for Modern Jam, off of Utopia?
