may not have aged well to everyone but this album truly changed 13 year old me. found me in the midst of an identity crisis (i was emo/scene and grappling with the fact that i liked other music. blasphemy). i remember listening to it and thinking “wait so you can rap over guitars??”. travie was also my caribbean biracial in an alt scene representation. idc this is a great album to me. “kid nothing vs the echo factor” still goes hard.

i don’t know why i hated this album in middle school / highschool, but i gave it another listen recently and it’s really good. it’s cool to see myself change and grow with tangible examples.

Specifically during the summer, putting on Melophobia or Pure Heroine or Blonde when I’m driving home from work makes me feel like I’m ruffling the hair of my fourteen year old self and saying “You’re gonna be alright, kid.”

being in your early 20s is all about your second, more nuanced emo phase. i rock with this album even more now than i did when i was 14

two women next to me on the train are having an insightful heart to heart. a guy behind me is clearly flirting with this girl and you can tell it’s mutual. we all have rich, rich inner lives :)
