Don’t get me wrong...Astroworld is a classic to me, but what exactly does Travis do?

Doesn’t write
Doesn’t come up with the melody
I’ve heard countless stories of him stealing beats, etc

Everyone who says Cyhi should be a big star needs to listen again, even in that 11 second clip his voice is wack just like Quentin Miller

Tried to tell nikkas about this lil cornball for years now. Rihanna got duped into thinking he was some musical genius and her album ended up being delayed n all kinda shyt fukkin around with him. Dude ain’t dope. He not only doesn’t write but he jacks styles too. Even took his adlibs from Rae Sremmurd.
lol i’m dead :russ:

I always just hope that CyHi and people like him (from pop to hip hop) have all of their paperwork in order to get those publishing checks on these hits.

And wasn’t there a string of tweets or a video with proof from some white dude claiming that Travis practically stole most of his Rodeo album?

This question gets asked everytime he drops an album.
the album credits list CyHi on the songs he helped with so he ain't missing no money.
These are just snippets, but people love the negativity/swearing they know about the musical process.

That's been the story from jump. When he first got in the studio with Kanye, he was playing beats/songs from another artist that he didn't write. He's a curator. Great ear for hooks/concepts/beats/etc. He jacks shyt, makes it his, and the rest is history. Low key...he basically stole ASAP Rocky's entire swag and erased that dude from existence.

That's not to say he never writes or produces anything, but you can't deny he has a team of hungry broke producers he mines from.
I see what you're saying about Rocky but Travis IS from the Houston area a lot of my friends out in Houston didn't like how Rocky adopted the Houston culture and sound so they rallied behind the guy from the area.
