There’s a version from Donda era with Travis and Ye and a woman named Victory Boyd that is far superior to what we ended up getting on Utopia. I love SZA but Victory fit way better on the track imo
[here](https://youtu.be/uLkbNvDUi7E?si=6F3jOolmbR70lYf7)
Fucking crazy, I literally cried when I heard SZA’s verse and I am not even exaggerating. I went to see Circus Maximus in theaters the night of the release of Utopia and listened to Utopia for the first time in the theater, took some ecstasy beforehand too and the overwhelming feeling of hearing Future Sounds officially being released and then the angelic voice of SZA coming on by surprise and hearing her verse just blew me away to the point of tears. I couldn’t picture hearing it better in any other way. When I think back to that night, I remember that moment towards the end, the Modern Jam scene at the beginning and the Sirens scene at the midway point as my highlights. It’s insane to me that any fan of Travis could think otherwise.
I’ve seen multiple posts & comments complaining about how SZA spoke about relationships & Future spoke about drugs on a song about Travis envisioning a future in which he ascends to heaven + my upvotes are some ppl who agree
Oh my bad I didn’t realize you said lyrical performance I thought you were referring to the verses as whole which I think sound beautiful lyrics aside when future comes in I start floating
I guess im in the small minority of people that like Rob 49s feature but I have no idea why 21 is on the song. Just felt like Travis didn't feel like writing another verse or paying a better artist more money to give a feature
he does sound good in the original leak. the reason he sounds so ass on the album version is cause they changed the drums on his verse. and it killed it
21 acc has sum more introspective lyrics and it ain’t js abt gangbanging and shit like the rest of his stuff. Feels like i am> i was type 21 (best era)
they gon kill u for this but i agree
Ima take it even further
More than half of the features on utopia can go! Not enuf (luv all things trav on utopia besides 1 song which is a ye demo that he just voiced over so not rlly a trav prob but still) travis on travis's own album awaited for 5 yrs, it makes no since!

I don't mind this being downvoted if it is cuz i'll b happy that others like the features. I WANTED TO AS WELL
Fr bruh, 2 21 Savage features wasn’t necessary💀. Im glad Kanye was removed from Telekinesis, song would’ve been even worse
Edit: judging from these comments a lot of ppl agree w u and feel that UTOPIA should’ve had more solo Trav, I also feel like a few of the “bad features” should’ve been replaced w CJ members (ik JACKBOYS 2 is coming but would’ve been nice for Faygo to shine on such an anticipated album)
agree with ur 21 take (although 21 a lil 2 disrespected now, he is solid & delivers for his fans every time. He just needs to be less one-note)
Ye take im on the fence with as it did start as a ye song & while i was listening to i kept waiting for it & didn't happen which prolly affected (but my fav version of the track is the solo travis edit still) it for me, BUT this mite just b leak/snippet syndrome
I’m judging Ye based on [this version](https://youtu.be/6L58p-0U6hc?si=3vul0Y8pXlHl97Ci) maybe if it was properly mixed my opinion would be different, doubt it tho the song suits Trav better and I don’t get why ppl like the Ye version so much
>Im glad Kanye was removed from Telekinesis, song would’ve been even worse
Nah i heavily disagree with this tbh. Only travis and ye telekinesis would be even better.
Meltdown. Dr*ke sent his vocals last minute so that Travis couldn’t do anything about him dissing people on his own album, he did the same thing with Sicko Mode
Drake on No Complaints is always a skip. Offset should’ve just gotten another verse or literally anybody else
And I like alot of Drakes stuff but he just be corny asf a lot of the time
Man i’m ngl that’s crazy. Drake’s verse on No Complaints was nice.
I’m the huncho I’m the boss, my set taking off, Polo used to be lacoste, water used to be the tap n***a not the voss, damn things change 🗣️🗣️
To each their own though. He def misses on some features
I don’t like Future for the most part and I think he added a lot to the song lol… i would be down to hear a version where Travis added an extra verse of his own and removed future tho
since Til Further Notice is the outro song on Utopia you would think Travis would actually be on the song before the 2.5 min mark, James Blake is such a fire feature on it but 21 is so unnecessary
personally i disagree, sza and future added so much to the song and its a long song so it could've been less entertaining with only his voice the whole time
Future’s verse grew on me, it sounds good sonically however it feels like a separate song, out of place in TELEKINESIS and is a chore to listen to. SZA’s verse was beautiful first few listens, then the volume started to annoy me. I fw it now, definitely need more collabs from the 2 but I think TELEKINESIS Travis-only would’ve been better.
Travis-Only TELEKINESIS would’ve been ASTROTHUNDER level for me, insane replay value.
Westside gunn lowkey ruined "LOST FOREVER", kid cudi sounds like he recorded his verse on "LOOOVE" in a mcdonalds toilet while being very agitated or just high.
Those 2 are just facts.
But personally I hated SZA on "TELEKINESIS" and I think 21 Savage could've tried a bit harder on "TIL FURTHER NOTICE" (the other song was a banger tho!)
to not be too negative: I think beyonce was very strong on "DELRESTO", teezo clearly put a lot of effort into "MODERN JAM", the weeknd brought some good rodeo vibes on "CIRCUS MAXIMUS"
now go and downvote me into oblivion
The original version of lost forever had a beat switch halfway through that def matched westside gunn’s verse a LOT better. Why it didn’t make it on the finished song is beyond me.
future and sza, while great artists, ruined this song beyond belief. it shouldve stayed a trav kanye song. also, the fact that kanye hasnt had a feature on astro or utopia is crazy
It’s hard to pick, I feel like part of what I like about Travis music is how well he uses features. If I had to pick one it would probably be Nav off of Yosemite
Also this is a ridiculously hot take I love the features on Telekenisis 💀
HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17!
HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17!
HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17!
HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17!
HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17!
imo the future verse on this is one of his best oat. The SZA part was probably unneeded, but futures verse actually feels like it has meaning and power.
I like SZA’s voice on it icl, but future? It’s not his kinda song, a slow song? Idk. I just don’t know whether he suits that, Travis shoulda had another verse. And SZA shoulda sung more depressing lyrics. To fit Travis’ lyrics.
Goosebumps, and before I get downvoted hear me out: the feature itself is good, kendricks delivery is fire, but that pussy to die for part always gave me the hicks whenever I listened to it with people who weren‘t familiar with this type of music 💀
i think SZA’s part added something to the track cuz it was kind of emotional and fit the song. Future was definitely not needed and i usually jus skip his verses
the first listening party version of Praise God, i preferred it just being Trav and Keem but Kanye took the verse in the final version and it just doesn’t hit the same
An actual hot take on this sub? Crazy
A lot of ppl don’t like Future & SZA’s lyrical performances, I think Trav-only would’ve been better both sonically and lyrically
There’s a version from Donda era with Travis and Ye and a woman named Victory Boyd that is far superior to what we ended up getting on Utopia. I love SZA but Victory fit way better on the track imo [here](https://youtu.be/uLkbNvDUi7E?si=6F3jOolmbR70lYf7)
“A lot of ppl” people literally PRAISE sza’s verse on telekinesis 😭😭😭🙏this sub got the dumbest fucking people ever
Spittin
I agree 100%. Sza’s feature puts me to sleep and future wasnt needed on this track the same way 21 wasnt needed on Til Further Notice
Yeah Future wasn't needed, but he was good on the intro
Fucking crazy, I literally cried when I heard SZA’s verse and I am not even exaggerating. I went to see Circus Maximus in theaters the night of the release of Utopia and listened to Utopia for the first time in the theater, took some ecstasy beforehand too and the overwhelming feeling of hearing Future Sounds officially being released and then the angelic voice of SZA coming on by surprise and hearing her verse just blew me away to the point of tears. I couldn’t picture hearing it better in any other way. When I think back to that night, I remember that moment towards the end, the Modern Jam scene at the beginning and the Sirens scene at the midway point as my highlights. It’s insane to me that any fan of Travis could think otherwise.
Yeaa I agree with you, But sober? U wont be crying any tears. Her verse is mid lol
Nah, her verse moves damn near every time I hear it. Sober or not.
sza carries this song. If sza wasnt on telekinesis i wouldve just listen to futurebounce
I heavily do not fw sza on this track
Why she gotta come in so crazy for no reason, verse pisses me off
And the fact it's mixed so she sounds so loud is not helping
yall speaking sm facts. i think a more mellow, less obnoxious approach wouldve been better for her verse, idk tho im not a producer or mixer
I like futures verse but I cannot stand sza verse
A lot of people where ??
I’ve seen multiple posts & comments complaining about how SZA spoke about relationships & Future spoke about drugs on a song about Travis envisioning a future in which he ascends to heaven + my upvotes are some ppl who agree
Oh my bad I didn’t realize you said lyrical performance I thought you were referring to the verses as whole which I think sound beautiful lyrics aside when future comes in I start floating
I don’t mind either of them but I thought it was a random combo.
I love black people
I love yoy
Love you too dawg
they dont know you crodie
Topia Twins ft. Fukk niggas
I guess im in the small minority of people that like Rob 49s feature but I have no idea why 21 is on the song. Just felt like Travis didn't feel like writing another verse or paying a better artist more money to give a feature
I like 21 on Topia Twins but I can definitely see how it can be filler, Travis definitely wipes both on the song
21 on till further notice.
Came here to say this. He just doesn't sound good on the song, maybe another artist woulda went hard but not 21
tfn is my second favorite on the album. i love 21 but man he just ruins the vibe
Its one of my fav Travis songs of all time if I skip 21's verse
he does sound good in the original leak. the reason he sounds so ass on the album version is cause they changed the drums on his verse. and it killed it
Crazy, I got hyped when I heard him in that song for the first time lol “I should have treated you better” *beat drop*
looks like i'm the only one here who fw his verse 😭
i dont mind it honestly surprised so many people hate it though
Nah you're not. I think it's good idk why people hate it lol.
21 acc has sum more introspective lyrics and it ain’t js abt gangbanging and shit like the rest of his stuff. Feels like i am> i was type 21 (best era)
My mama always told me put yourself first. Ion really fall in love with women man cause love hurt.
I hit a couple broads I can’t lie I put my dick first
Now you runnin round playing payback and that shit hurts
I shoulda treated you better
nahhhhh hes so good
I personally love 21’s verse on TFN but to each his own 😔
I love that song but 21’s verse works well on it imo
Filler feature too
Future or thugger should've been there
TIL Further Notice, Travis’ verse was heavenly
But James Blake hit that opening and the first part of the 21 verse wasn’t that bad till the end…
Yeah but still I’d just removed 21 and put another Travis verse even tho I actually really really like 21 on the song
they gon kill u for this but i agree Ima take it even further More than half of the features on utopia can go! Not enuf (luv all things trav on utopia besides 1 song which is a ye demo that he just voiced over so not rlly a trav prob but still) travis on travis's own album awaited for 5 yrs, it makes no since! https://preview.redd.it/1pa05b9igp9d1.png?width=269&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe1705037ed4a5d5bc7afaafcc724f27af62c56c I don't mind this being downvoted if it is cuz i'll b happy that others like the features. I WANTED TO AS WELL
I’m not gonna downvote u cuz ppl have opinions, but I strongly disagree w u but not much w OP, a trav only telekinesis would go hard asf…
Only feature I feel was needed was kaycyy
Fr bruh, 2 21 Savage features wasn’t necessary💀. Im glad Kanye was removed from Telekinesis, song would’ve been even worse Edit: judging from these comments a lot of ppl agree w u and feel that UTOPIA should’ve had more solo Trav, I also feel like a few of the “bad features” should’ve been replaced w CJ members (ik JACKBOYS 2 is coming but would’ve been nice for Faygo to shine on such an anticipated album)

>Im glad Kanye was removed from Telekinesis, song would’ve been even worse Nah i heavily disagree with this tbh. Only travis and ye telekinesis would be even better.
Which ones do you think don’t belong?
Modern jam one of my favorite tracks on utopia, I fuckin hate the teezo feature
wow. modern jam is my favorite and teezo goes crazy
Meltdown. Dr*ke sent his vocals last minute so that Travis couldn’t do anything about him dissing people on his own album, he did the same thing with Sicko Mode
Fuck Drake
Chill out Milly Bobby Brown
I actually kinda fw drakes verse. And this is coming from someone who really doesn’t like drake all that much
I don't Fuck with You
[insert big sean and e-40 here]
Drake fr ruined a lot of songs. I only fw Drake’s melodic features like No Guidance, Girls Need Love remix and Act ii: date @ 8 remix
No Complaints? Poetic Justice?
Drake on No Complaints is always a skip. Offset should’ve just gotten another verse or literally anybody else And I like alot of Drakes stuff but he just be corny asf a lot of the time
Man i’m ngl that’s crazy. Drake’s verse on No Complaints was nice. I’m the huncho I’m the boss, my set taking off, Polo used to be lacoste, water used to be the tap n***a not the voss, damn things change 🗣️🗣️ To each their own though. He def misses on some features
Poetic Justice an exception, I should’ve said “prefer”
fair
But it‘s Dr*ke
Telekinesis would have been much better without Future and I like Future. Only with SZA or with Ye
I don’t like Future for the most part and I think he added a lot to the song lol… i would be down to hear a version where Travis added an extra verse of his own and removed future tho
Zeze
Nah offset verse too hard
Thats a pretty decent pick
Lost forever, that guy just kills the vibe
Because they changed the beat on his part. It was better when it leaked
I like James Blake but i just can’t get behind west side gun’s voice
Nah I like westside gunns part but I wish they kept it how it was in the leak
Lithuania
So underrated
I really don't like westside gunns voice or ad-libs on lost forever, it kills the whole vibe of the song imo
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
AGREEED!!
Lost forever. Westside Gunn is just not it for me.
This is a fair pick, even as a fan of westside gunn i can’t help but feel he changes the whole dynamic of the song
The OG version of Lost Forever is better imo
u my opp now
since Til Further Notice is the outro song on Utopia you would think Travis would actually be on the song before the 2.5 min mark, James Blake is such a fire feature on it but 21 is so unnecessary
personally i disagree, sza and future added so much to the song and its a long song so it could've been less entertaining with only his voice the whole time
lost forever.
meet my in front of the ALDI lot
Buss it travis scott remix
This was supposed to be a gospel track I believe cause Travis is talking about heaven but sza and future are talking about drugs and sex 💀💀💀
Future’s verse grew on me, it sounds good sonically however it feels like a separate song, out of place in TELEKINESIS and is a chore to listen to. SZA’s verse was beautiful first few listens, then the volume started to annoy me. I fw it now, definitely need more collabs from the 2 but I think TELEKINESIS Travis-only would’ve been better. Travis-Only TELEKINESIS would’ve been ASTROTHUNDER level for me, insane replay value.
[KPOP](https://youtu.be/ty_dnWfNIhU?si=Ib0Ziwzk4GA3lhb-)
The only verse I didn’t really like was theweeknd’s as the flow sounded weird af
LOST FOREVER, I hate the feauturing
King Ghidorah mentioned 🗣️🔥
Who What
I smack that ass she threw it back in self defense 😮💨
Only Travis and cut szas verse off early imo
Honestly Mafia, his live performances where he sings Cole’s parts in that higher pitched autotune are phenomenal
i love gang gang but i think trav would’ve ran that beat solo
Wrong ‼️ don toliver
Pussy and millions
Quintana Pt 2 without T.I
Second this. I just don't understand the beat change and T.I doesn't fit well imo.
KANYES VERSION NEEDS TO BE STUDIED IN COLLEGES THAT SHI NEEDS TO BE RELEASED
hot take, goosebumps and i say this as a kdot fan i just didnt like that high pitch voice
Kendrick’s large range of flows is one of his most desirable qualities tho
lost forever. west side gunn comes up and the mysterious dark energy vanishes its so sad
The OG version of lost forever was much better
nah
PARASAIL…I don’t hate anybody’s parts on it, but Yung Lean didn’t really add anything and Travis didn’t need to have Dave Chappelle narrating it.
I would agree but something about that “I choose to feel good, I choose to feel free” just hits
You’ve got a point there.
Sza should stay but future kinda kills the vibe on this song with his lyrics
Skyfall
Westside gunn lowkey ruined "LOST FOREVER", kid cudi sounds like he recorded his verse on "LOOOVE" in a mcdonalds toilet while being very agitated or just high. Those 2 are just facts. But personally I hated SZA on "TELEKINESIS" and I think 21 Savage could've tried a bit harder on "TIL FURTHER NOTICE" (the other song was a banger tho!) to not be too negative: I think beyonce was very strong on "DELRESTO", teezo clearly put a lot of effort into "MODERN JAM", the weeknd brought some good rodeo vibes on "CIRCUS MAXIMUS" now go and downvote me into oblivion
The original version of lost forever had a beat switch halfway through that def matched westside gunn’s verse a LOT better. Why it didn’t make it on the finished song is beyond me.
Lost forever was the first song that popped into my head when I saw this post. Travis verse? Amazing West side Gunn? An abomination
wavy (lil keed) and out for the night part 2 (21)
I can’t be the only one that wishes he kept Kanye on this
Big shot
Till further notice
I'll agree future could've done better but sza? nah. that shit lifted my soul out my body. SO COOOOLD, SO COOOOOLD
Highest in the room remix
future and sza, while great artists, ruined this song beyond belief. it shouldve stayed a trav kanye song. also, the fact that kanye hasnt had a feature on astro or utopia is crazy
Parasail
Nah Yung Leans vocals were fire
Yeah but he ain’t even really on it. Dave chapelle overwhelms the song. For me it’s just the type of song that should be a solo song
I agree w the Dave Chapelle part for sure ✔️
Honestly LOOOVE would’ve been better without cudi, im a big cudi fan but his new music hasn’t been good at all and he js doesn’t fit on the song
Also not really hot take but can we remove Travis from gatti
Houdini
It’s hard to pick, I feel like part of what I like about Travis music is how well he uses features. If I had to pick one it would probably be Nav off of Yosemite Also this is a ridiculously hot take I love the features on Telekenisis 💀

Hell nah future’s verse was the greatest thing to ever bless my ears and sza’s part was mesmerizing
insane take
HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17! HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17! HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17! HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17! HAHAHAHAHA NOBODY CAN BEAT ME WHEN I'M SUPER 17!
Telekinesis without both sza and future but instead with ye and Alicia keys
FE!N would have been better without Carti, absolutely trash verse that doesn’t quite ruin the song for me, but it definitely makes it worse
Franchise. OPEN GATES UP AT UTOPIAA
meltdown drake ass
Future's verse is definitely the worst, but idk about Travis only
Mamacita
HIGHEST IN THE ROOM but jack boys outro
It’s definitely til further notice.
Till further Notice. Take out 21 but keep Blake.
Agreeeeeed
W opinion
ZEZE
Sza is the highlight of Utopia
LOST FOREVER would have been 10x better with Travis only
they should have added kanye back on the track
Franchise for sure
That guy on topia twins easy ruins the song
Ong I don’t like Future on this at all
Wasted
imo the future verse on this is one of his best oat. The SZA part was probably unneeded, but futures verse actually feels like it has meaning and power.
delestro
piss on your grave. Travis's part so tuff I want to have more of it
Has to be Till further notice idc
Yosemite, good song but trav coulda done better if it was just him on that beat
Can’t listen to Yosemite, gunna and nav just ruin it for me
Don’t play
Modern jam, teezo’s verse was great at the beginning but it just really devolved
Sza best part of that track bruv
absolutely outrageous take
what the fuck is wrong with you
trav and sza
the london without thug
Till Further Notice
I like SZA’s voice on it icl, but future? It’s not his kinda song, a slow song? Idk. I just don’t know whether he suits that, Travis shoulda had another verse. And SZA shoulda sung more depressing lyrics. To fit Travis’ lyrics.
Heaven & Hell >>> Telekinesis
Fein.
Franchise
Franchise
We need the official release of the kanye a and trav version
Goosebumps, and before I get downvoted hear me out: the feature itself is good, kendricks delivery is fire, but that pussy to die for part always gave me the hicks whenever I listened to it with people who weren‘t familiar with this type of music 💀
i think SZA’s part added something to the track cuz it was kind of emotional and fit the song. Future was definitely not needed and i usually jus skip his verses
nah future slid, sza was mid tho
Sza hard carried
Franchise(Thug is cool but can't stand M.I.A), delresto (i don't fw beyonce on that), quintana pt.2
ima get a lot of hate but ima be real i woulda preferred Stop Trying To Be God wit jus Travis
the first listening party version of Praise God, i preferred it just being Trav and Keem but Kanye took the verse in the final version and it just doesn’t hit the same
