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, low key a lot of people did t know this. The one song he actually was a part of was the worst song on that album, and it sounds completely out of place

This is a fact. He stole a ton of Houston cats down here shyt to come up. He stole the whole Astroworld concept came from BeatKing. The thing about it is he has no real history in Houston. Claims he's from the Hiram Clarke area but no one really remembers him like that.

Damn this nikkah a whole fraud :mjlol:

Funny - I listened to Astroworld out of curiosity when it first dropped and I thought Coffee Bean was the standout. It struck me as some straight up 'Kast/ Atlanta shyt at the time. :ehh:

I got a weird vibe from what I read about dude years ago though...


Travis Scott reminds me of that lifestyle guru/ spiritual advisor that the rich, famous and vapid employ.

He'll say some fake deep shyt and have Kanye like :ohhh:

But everyone else is :rudy:

So this the guy Drake was dry snitching on when he said he is not the only one amongst his peers to use ghostwriters. Not shocking it’s Travis. But here why it’s not the same as Drake and Drake doesn’t get a pass. There’s no “top 2 and I’m not 2” talk from Travis. There is no he up there with the greatest emcee to do by the media when it comes to Travis.


Another thing I don’t ever want to hear,” oh that’s a personal track ain’t no way that’s ghost written”. Coffee Bean is an example.

Damn this nikkah a whole fraud :mjlol:
Pretty much. I remember here in Houston he used to have a bunch of shows downtown at HOBs and them shyts was packed with white kids. I seriously thought he was some kind of alternative rock black guy b/c he use to crowd surf and have mosh pits at his shows but when he starts to really blow they go with the super convenient Houston rapper story of him liking Screw being from a known Houston hood (where no one actually remembers him).
Bun B friendly ass gives him the cosign and all these Houston rappers fall in line and keep their mouth shut except for a few (BeatKing but even he quieted down quickly). I'm about to go on a rant but this is what I hate about my city and why I hate that a lot of the real rappers who wouldn't allow this shyt are dead or been banned from speaking the real shyt (Trae) Pimp C mainly. nikkas be using the Houston stimulus package to blow up and never really show any love to the city and I'm placing most of the blame on Bun B. He rolls out the welcome mat for nikkas to come to Houston use our style blow up off of it and dip. Hell I use to see Drake down here more than I've ever seen Travis. I really don't even think this cat is from here. Cats in the city don't stand for anything anymore. All the real ones locked up, dead, banned, or too busy hating on one another to make a real difference.

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

he brings it all together, if these songs were by themselves they wouldn't have the impact
