He then sings his own refrain, goes into a nearly broken falsetto to “put the pussy on the pedestal,” and closes the verse with some BARS and a machine gun ad-lib.
He takes Scott’s lead and adds some melody to his flow, before segueing into the funky oscillations showcased on untitled unmastered. The lyrics are excellent here, though it’s his stylistic breadth that’s most impressive. He’s now provided the best guest verse on Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight.ĭruggy, hazy, and melodic, the late-night sounds of “Goosebumps” are standard fare for Scott, but for Kendrick? His verse is a reminder to never pigeonhole the TDE top dawg, even if that means pinning him to the top-tier of lyrical rap. Bet you’d never expect to hear Kendrick and La Flame on the same song, though K-Dot revealed himself to be a fan of Scott’s last year when he rapped “Antidote” during a concert. It was soon clear that Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight would be another collaborative spectacle, and indeed, the game’s hottest talents - some expected along with some total surprises - continued to pop up throughout the 14-track album.Īfter 21 Savage showed up on “Outside,” who else to guest on a similarly spooky record than…Kendrick Lamar? Bet you’d never expect to see those two names on the same album. Though there were no features listed on the initial tracklist, the first four songs boasted surprise appearances from Andre 3000 and Kid Cudi, along with a motivational intro speech from Blac Youngsta - no album should be without one. The many delays that La Flame’s devoted ragers suffered through were quickly forgotten when he began playing Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight for the first time live on his “.Wav” radio show. With him, his own skills as a rapper and singer have been less intriguing than his ability to include his most talented friends in on his ideas and be the driving force behind innovative collabs - not to mention his finesse behind the boards, too. In a time when it seems like most stars of his caliber are keeping the guest spots to a minimum, Scott has remained intent on maintaining a collaborative mindset. Travis Scott’s debut album, last year’s Rodeo, was packed with guest features, coming from the likes of Quavo, Future, Chief Keef, Justin Bieber, and more.
