Travis Scott's Fans Go Off Over Pitchfork's 'Utopia' Review

July 31, 2023

Pitchfork doesn't really care for Travis Scott's new Utopia album and they gave it a 5.7 out of 10 rating. 

One of the complaints is that all of the features don't make it better. Some of the guests on Utopia include Beyoncé, Drake, SZA, and Bon Iver.

"Travis needs those knockout guest appearances because nobody expects him to carry an album himself," wrote Pitchfork writer Alphonse Pierre. "The bar for him as a rapper is already low; he’s here for the vibes, not the skill, and that’s fine. But what happens when the vibes are off? UTOPIA is a more expensive model of his previous albums, but it doesn’t sound like he’s leveled up because his life is so different now that when he tries to act like it’s not, he comes off as fake as hell."

Not surprisingly, the rapper's fans went off on the publication.
