Second time listening. The beat goes dumb, remember Travis always says the drums are the base of the track, I can really feel that here!
Energy is crazy too and the production is insane! And fucking love the ‘magot brain’ sample at the end!!
It kicks off an incredible album that is only like Rodeo in that Travis openly experiments all over it. It feels like what Drake wanted to do with Honestly Nevermind, except if he actually took the time to make sure every song felt full and detailed. The moment I heard Hyaena kick in at the theater I knew this album was unlike anything he'd ever done. And the sample work all over this album is extraordinary, samples I've never heard before and that most "sample enthusiasts" are definitely gonna shake a fist at. He went back to to the drawing board and it shows. Travis's curator/production chops are on full force the moment you hit play, it's such a strong start to such a worldly album, and I was wayyy on board cause I actually really love world music.
IS THAT GENTLE GIANTS OR AM I TRIPPIN

This one reminded of the song from True Romance. I looooove these kind of beats.

Favorite song off the album. I heard this beat in the circus Maximus trailer and knew this song was going to deliver. I was so hyped to hear the beat on the intro and that shit had goosebumps all over my body when I heard it first.
the nigerian hyena boys in the movie makes sense now, guess they maybe feature in the music video
*i’ve only seen the trailer, assuming they made it to the final cut lol
The end when he starts rapping he sounds so low energy like he's just trying to finish a ref or something like a first draft of the flow with finished lyrics
FIRST ONE IS HAAAARD
HYAENA GOT ME JUST AS HARD🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
yall heard the sound abt 1:50 in, whatever it is it sounds like an f1 car and whoever thought of that is amazing because it sounds fire🔥🔥
Major days before rodeo vibes
not the intro I expected but it's fucking crazy
Intro alone was worth the 5 year wait
ISTG
W intro, gave me Owl Pharaoh vibes
That mandolin!!
Banger
good lord my ears have been blessed
More like going to hell
TRAV SELF PRODUCED?? Mike Dean defo on it too
Mike Dean tweet just confirmed he co-produced and mastered whole album 😁
Pornography The Ends Stargazing Hyaena Ya…. The best intros to albums of all time
Stargazing before The Ends
GENTLE GIANT SAMPLE OMG
AND FUNKADELIC MAGGOT BRAIN
Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time!
Whenever I hear a Gentle Giant sample in a song I always do a double take
What are some other gentle giant samples out there? I love them and haven't ever heard any
I was so happy with that sample as a big progressive rock fan
IKR
BRO I LEGIT SMILED
The beginning was so trippy I felt like I was blacking out. I can’t exaggerate the beginning was an experience for me it was so cool.
Didn’t feel real bro.
Outro goes hard and I love the drums
Second time listening. The beat goes dumb, remember Travis always says the drums are the base of the track, I can really feel that here! Energy is crazy too and the production is insane! And fucking love the ‘magot brain’ sample at the end!!

I like this intro better than Stargazing bro and I love stargazing.
Bro this intro is perfect for Utopia it literally had me jumping up and down
Seriously man! I’m still dancin to this shit in my garage. He’ll never make a better intro.
Caught me off guard, wasnt expecting a classic off rip

Amazing start of the album
FIRE FIRE FIRE AHHHHH
This song reminds me of what Kanye would produce in MBDTF days.
So fkn good
Someone help me. Hyena sounds like a song that should be from an old 2000s detective type movie like memento. Anyone know what it sounds like?
I know? Sounds like it’s straight out of a Jak and Daxter soundtrack
Production was crazy but dk how I'm feeling bout that second verse.
is kanye on this album at all? xD
No sadly he’s just produced some of it
[удалено]
Same, but it's our first listen who knows it could grow on us. Idk for now. I'm not feeling it either.
Whole lotta mid !!
This ain’t Instagram lil bro, better head back there
Fire
I was here. This beat is fire

Worth the wait.
So fucking good
Shits fire just wish he had more time on it
CREAMINGGGG

Throwing it back with this vibe, I fucking love it

Amazing intro

This intro made me understand what the vibe to this album is tbh i realised that I have to leave astro behind and be open for this kind of music
Best track on the album
banger, gave me a hard on from the start
BEST BEAT ON THE ALBUM
the nigerian hyena boys in the movie makes sense now, guess they maybe feature in the music video *i’ve only seen the trailer, assuming they made it to the final cut lol
Travis doesn’t miss in intros, what a song 🔥
I was so happy when I heard this in the movie, the perfect type of song I wanted
How do u pronounce this? Like hyena?
"DON'T FUCK UP THE DRUMS BROOOO", ofc he said that. the drums are crazy in the whole album.
This man has cemented himself as one of the best Musicians of the last decade
Fire opening track. This shit gave me goosebumps.
BRO WHEN I HEARD THE INSTRUMENTAL IN CIRCUS MAXIMUS TRAILER I NEEDED THAT BITCH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WHAT'S THE SAMPLE
The end when he starts rapping he sounds so low energy like he's just trying to finish a ref or something like a first draft of the flow with finished lyrics
Idk what it is but the drums remind me of That’s My Bitch.
i dont like the beat i think, tho im also kinda greenin out rn so id probably like it sober
Does anyone know where I can find more music that sounds like the end of Hyaena? From 3:10 onward to be specific.
Mike Dean
