Both artists have been releasing mainstream records for nearly a decade; their records UTOPIA and AUSTIN, respectfully, sit at number one and two on the Billboard 200. But going further than the numbers, these albums signify a shift in these artists\\u2019 sounds, moving them out of their usual genres into previously uncharted territory in both of their careers. And as this is Post Malone\\u2019s fifth record and Travis Scott\\u2019s fourth, we also must ask: what does it mean to be a mid-career artist?\\n\\nSongs discussed:\\n\\n\\nTravis Scott \\u2013 HYAENA\\n\\nPost Malone \\u2013 Mourning\\n\\nTravis Scott, Teezo Touchdown \\u2013\\xa0MODERN JAM\\n\\nPost Malone \\u2013 Chemical\\n\\nMadonna \\u2013 Borderline\\n\\nMadonna \\u2013 Ray of Light\\n\\nMadonna \\u2013 Don\\u2019t Tell Me\\n\\nKendrick Lamar \\u2013 m.a.a.d. city\\n\\nKendrick Lamar \\u2013 For Free? \\u2013 interlude\\n\\n\\nTravis Scott, Swae Lee, Chief Keef \\u2013 Nightcrawler\\n\\nTravis Scott, Yung Lean \\u2013 PARASAIL\\n\\nTravis Scott, Kid Cudi \\u2013\\xa0LOOOVE\\xa0\\n\\nKanye West \\u2013 I Am A God\\n\\nGentle Giant \\u2013 Proclamation\\n\\nTravis Scott, Beyonc\\xe9 \\u2013 DELRESTO (ECHOES)\\n\\nPost Malone \\u2013 White Iverson\\n\\nPost Malone, 21 Savage \\u2013\\xa0rockstar\\n\\nPost Malone \\u2013 Overdrive\\n\\nPixies \\u2013 Where Is My Mind?\\n\\nSemisonic \\u2013 Closing Time\\n\\nPost Malone \\u2013 Something Real\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
