Speaker 8: Anything off of 'Rodeo.'
Speaker 3: This is kind of weird but "Sloppy Toppy" from 'Days Before Rodeo.'
I know it's crazy because it's graphic, but I found it so funny how he made a song about
that.
Speaker 10: And I think I'm going to get all the questions right.

Tia Hill: Are you sure?
Speaker 8: Definitely not.
No Auto-Tune.
Tia Hill: Which song on 'Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight' features
vocals from Blac Youngsta, "Coordinate" or "SDP Interlude?"
Speaker 4: Coordinate.
Speaker 12: Coordinate, right?
Speaker 5: Coordinate, yeah.

Tia Hill: He said not going to cap.
Speaker 5: Just going to go with The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Tia Hill: It's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Speaker 14: I know that movie, there's no way that it was inspired by that.
There's no car, there's no long cigarette, did I miss that?

Tia Hill: Coming out strong today.
Speaker 13: The effort was there.
Speaker 2: I saw him in concert recently there was all types of stuff going around from like
the rollercoaster to the ferris wheel to the lights.
Speaker 6: He'll bring people on stage.
He'll do the little mosh pit and the crowd surfing, which is cool.
Speaker: I think his talent stands out, a lot of the energy he does on stage it's pretty dope.
Speaker: When people make music with content for a purpose outside of themselves
I always like that.
Speaker 11: He's a rock star.
He's a rock star and a rapper in one.
So that's kind of cool, we don't really see that that often.
Tia Hill: Well, Travis fans came out strong today and while some found the test pretty
easy, for others it was a bit of a challenge.
How'd you do?
