No chance he heard that shyt. The audio is coming from where the person is recording not where travis is
nikka there was people right at the stage asking for help and this nikka said “u know what u came here for”. Is this nikka yo pops or something? God damn the way people defend these entertainers is unreal.

In May, when the festival sold out, he tweeted in all caps that he expects (read: wants) thousands more to attend illegally as well.

Then we see the video of the gates being stormed and absolutely overwhelmed as hundreds of people DID "sneak" in.

Security, medical, and (reportedly) water were shirked in favor of production value.

Crazed fan dancing on top of a glorified ambulance (golf cart w lights) while people were dying is the perfect symbol of how this event failed.

It's the culture at these events. I'm all for the energy in the crowd but it gets hectic quick.

I was at the Don Toliver show last month and there was crowd surges there. With only about 200 people. People push, crowd gets compressed, crowd sways all over the place. Your feet gets stepped while you're trying to go with the flow. Its dangerous. If you fall, and no one notices, it can get real ugly. Hopefully people do and help you up quickly. Mix that with drugs, dehydration, lack of experience in those situations, shytty people near you...Yeah.

Also, you literally have to form a bubble with your hands in front of you to breath, or even look to get some fresh air. shyts exhausting after a while. Like I said, it was rough with 200 people involved with this. Imagine thousands compressed. That type culture just needs to fall back some. Trav preaches rage but people take that shyt to another level.

sounds like the venue was way too small for the 200 people but it’s crazy that even a don tolliver concert is like that. His music is more mellow

maybe it’s just a part of hip hop/rage culture that’s the new normal for concerts

or it could be just the people in that specific city

See that's why I don't fukk with certain acts and environments even if I like the music. nikkas can't help themselves. Why is that bytch over there just trying to trip people for no reason. Really. Now if someone stepped to her and rocked her jaw folks woulda been said they in the wrong and tried to stomp them out when that bytch was the one afting a fool FOR NO REASON.


This was before the concert and all these irresponsible people bum rushed the event so they don't have to pay

Nah it was big enough. The crowd was half of the main floor. I was good preshow but once the lights went off, shyt got compressed QUICK!

Like someone the girl said that was at the Fest, once your feet are set.. Its hard to move them.

The chill songs for Don T, the crowd is mellow but once a high BPM song gets played.. Back to the madness.

I went from

I think boy is borderline sociopathic. And this is just from his history. Put it like this. I fully didn’t expect him to give a fukk about this shyt at all.

Dude got "on" in part by straight up stealing music and presenting it to bigger artists like Kanye. He's always been on that sociopath grind. Burned a lot of bridges, but built a lot of bridges too which makes him hard to "cancel" or fall off. But this shyt could be the beginning of the end, given the money and legal aspect.
