Travis Scott Says Mike Brown Deserved To Die and We Are Our Own Worse Enemy

[wire28]

You just said the EXACT thing that the thread title suggested...



Mike Brown put Himself in a compromising position...
"He was no angel"


And he didn't clarify sh1t personally. Ebro had to help him clean it up, because even a c00n like him knew Travis was talking wild reckless...

i wish somebody real was there to teach that dumbass and threaten him. he was way too comfortable up there actin an ass

 

[My Name is My Name]

Get him the fukk outta here

I heard one song by him wasn't impressed, sounds like a bad kanye impression. Then I read this article and it was a wrap, dude sounds like a real piece of shyt. The guy who wrote this deleted it off his blog but you can probably find the whole post somewhere. He really went in on Travis but here is part of it:

I spent two months, every single day, in The Dungeon with Travis, helping him record Owl Pharaoh. I remember him rapping on his iPhone, arguing with Will the engineer. I remember when he tried to steal Will and Barry’s productions, to a point where Will decided to sabotage his entire album. No one wants to work with someone who steals from them – and that’s what Travis does.

I heard this week Travis Scott signed a 360 deal with Kanye West for $870,000. Am I happy for him? Not at all. He might be one of the most purely talented producers and rappers in the industry, but he’s a thief, a liar, and he manipulates what he wants out of people until he’s used them all up. There’s no such thing as loyalty to Travis Scott.

Personally, I can’t wait to see Travis Scott fall from grace, and be the next cautionary rap tale.

Last week I got a letter from the attorneys representing Sony and Epic Records, letting me know it was their intent to pursue legal action against me, on behalf of Travis Scott. I posted a song that he did with OG CHESS and ASAP FERG on my Soundcloud – a song they did in November of 2011. A song that he stole from OG CHESS. I know, because we still have the original session, with a timestamp. Travis wants to sue me, because I posted something he stole from someone else.

Travis Scott is a punk. I’ll stand by that as long as I live. fukk Travis Scott.

I don't even think it's that. I literally mean that he doesn't realize that he's wrong and he's being earnest. I saw a lot of these types in college. What people forget is that we're all still American and still subject to the same programming and lack of education. Race is not taught properly in America despite the fact that we're hanging out with people of different backgrounds. A guy like Travis Scott is from a place where 40% of the households have a median income of over 100,000 and his mother worked for apple and his father owned his old company (if I remember right). You take a kid like that, give him a typical American education and divorce him from the struggles of black america and he ends up looking at African-Americans the way most Americans do--largely responsible for their own problems. They see it as a mentality and that dressing a certain way is an expression of that mentality.

But the thing is, if you notice..he still says "we" are our own problem. The interconnected fate of Black Americans (that has always existed regardless of socioeconomic status) still remains within him. Most people like him are not bad guys, they just don't know any better and it's better to educate someone like him instead of yelling at him. People don't respond well to be yelled at in most cases, and being separated as a minority is senseless. @Boesky this is what I meant by ignorant, I should have said uninformed.

I see where you're coming from. However, I think when only these types get a platform to speak it can have a negative effect on the rest of the group. I remember this dude at work used to get picked on and he didn't even know it. One time this girl created a photo shop picture of him in the shower looking feminine. He really thought it was just a regular joke, but I saw the snickering among the white workers at the job. The girl wouldn't dare do anything like that to a white coworker.

The other extreme is just as bad when you have only the fake thugs, pimps, etc having a platform. We have all seen what that has done. The sad thing is people are so easily manipulated by what the media puts on TV and the internet. It's like "commerce dressed up as rebellion".

Just watched the Kevin Gates breakfast club interview and it's interesting his perspective vs Travis Scott. I feel there are many members of the current youth that can identify with either one based on their background. Despite his "appearance", Gates does show a little more maturity or at least comes off more seasoned compared to Scott. However, he does have 6 years on him.

Scott's advantage is he never had to go through what Gates has, but at the same time will Scott ever have a serious enough challenge to take himself to another level? It's fine if you're a Scott and just working a job and strolling through life. However, the entertainment industry is a full contact sport where rules are out the window.

But that's what I said in my first post in here man. I said that it bothers me that we elevate their opinions and give them a platform. My point is, he's not necessarily a bad guy, just misinformed. The problem is that the uninformed such as him have a platform--as you said. The other problem is that the people interviewing them are not intellectually equipped enough to ask the correct questions. Everyone is friends and no one challenges each other. But the thing is, even if Scott had gone through things, there is no guarantee that he'd give the best response. That won't happen until people recognize that race goes beyond one's personal anecdotes and those of one's friends and it is a history and a science that requires a sophisticated learning.

A lot of 90s Babies haven't got there wake up call. I know a lot starting to get them as they enter the professional world.

When that happens, that is when the shyt will get real again. Meaning that more of them will take up the pro-black causes and see what c00nery really is.

it's time for black people to stop blaming the persecutors and take responsibility for their persecution, it's the only way we can end racism.

 

[King Jove]

stop wearing baggy clothes and white people won't hate you anymore

i fukk(ed) with his music but what a dumb thing to say

"new black" kid from the suburbs that went to an predominantly white/asian high school

I correctly assume this is sarcasm?
