What exactly does Travis Scott do? Astroworld reference tracks leak

[Killalex]

fukk
Travis has been dropping fire and Astroworld is amazing but I can't respect it if you don't even
write your own shyt.
Really disappointing.

On the other hand Cyhi is ridiculously talented.

 

[Newzz]

this!

dudes have no idea how great a black suburban dude w/ a bit of fake swag life can be. white ppl literally fall at their feet.


but don't let an authentic black dude arrive on the scene... it gets real quiet real fast...

So you saying black people that live in the burbs aren't authentic?

 

[ajnapoleon]

No wonder Cyhi never drops anything

Thats what happened to sauce money

Funny thing is both sauce and cyhi could be amazing artist on their own

But they ghostwrite

 

[Roxx the King]

I didn't know Danger Mouse had ATL roots, but it makes perfect sense now. Swizz beats went to high school in ATL, didn't know that either. Crazy.

He was sent down there as a teen, i believe, to stay outta NYC trouble (neighborhood violence, etc)

 

[Pop123]

Actual skill means nothing today, is you lit or not? Thats all that counts. You have a dude being mentioned as a possible goat contender who literally has a team of ghostwriters, lol, shyt is different

 

[ajnapoleon]

Yall stay picking and choosing who can use writers and who can't

Its simple

Don't your the best at what you do


When your a bystander while your album gets made for you

Dre
Diddy
Biz Markie
ODB
Pete rock


Never ever said they top 5 or anything


Scarface said there is nothing wrong with ghostwriting


Vlad asked him if he ever got anything ghostwritten for him


His entire demeanor changed


Scarface got upset on some

"Dont you ever ask me that shyt ...all that was my damn pen"


That explains it all

 

[desjardins]

Well this is a disheartening discovery
Low key considered Scott a bit of a genius. I kinda raised an eyebrow when I peeped mike dean was helping him so much on the production tip

 

[xCivicx]

Tory Lanez literally wrote entire songs on days before rodeo


This ain’t shocking

Didnt know this at all but it makes perfect sense

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I can see that actually Not surprised at all but it is funny.

edit: I used to wonder if these guys had ghostwriters when they would reference some old shyt that they didn’t grow up on. I don’t have any examples at the moment, but I’ve heard younger rappers make reference to older stuff from like the 80’s and 90’s and wondered if they got help with that.

 

[xCivicx]

Jesus Christ Cyhi should literally be THE artist of this generation. Dude’s pen is incredible.

His verse on So Appalled wasnt even supposed to be there

He snuck it on a surprised kanye with it but it was so dope that kanye left it on

 

[Pimp]

I'm old as hell because i heard the name Travis Scott but i never actually heard his songs..

 

[DontEemTry]

Does this make Sicko Mode the GOAT ghost writers collabo?

 

[steadyrighteous]

I've never understood or bought into the Travis hype. Music or sneakers.



There was always something inauthentic about it. People throw around the term "plant" for a lot of people, but he always felt like a real plant.

Every step of his success felt 5 steps too big for the moment. He was "bubbling" before he was really "bubbling", he was "major" before he'd done anything major, and he was an "influencer" before he had a chance to actually be influential.

Plus the fact that most of his fans and custies are teenage white kids let me know that he was a product of good marketing. Nobody falls for marketing harder and has more disposable income than the kids of middle and upper middle class white people.

Another Redan High alum, swear to God nobody realizes how much talent came out of one high school in Stone Mountain

Yeah i went to stone mountain middle but moved before highschool

That area is a cultural hub

 

[xCivicx]

He was sent down there as a teen, i believe, to stay outta NYC trouble (neighborhood violence, etc)

They fresh princed him

shyt aint sweet in the stone mountain area though
