I’ve never seen a hip hop superstar who’s more bland and obscure than this dude. I can’t name a single song of his. On the surface, he’s obviously famous and successful, yet it comes across as artificial and inauthentic, unearned and pre-packaged.

:unimpressed:

You gonna act like you never heard Sicko Mode not at least once?

:comeon:



I’m a big Trav fan that hates that song and heard that song all over the place. Do you go outside?

How you hate on a nikka that you claim never heard his music? ESPECIALLY when he isn’t in the media with negative shyt. Y’all kill me

:mjlol:

That’s because your old and probably a recluse it’s that simple if you left the house and went to social events you couldn’t help but hear his music. I’ve been to Football/Basketball games from Highschool to Professional and I’ve heard at least one of his songs every single time.

Not including parties, kickbacks and what not I only like a handful of his songs but it’s no doubt that he’s a bonafide star. Only flat tops on thecoli are confused by his success.

To his defense(and I obviously know who Travis is) we are in a era where music comes and goes quicker than ever(a lot of this thanks to streaming) and songs are like fast food now. Just recently Travis had a song that went #1 much thanks to merch and that’s a big deal with him. Im not sure it lasted there I think it even dropped significantly.

there was a time where because music was a lot slower with how it was processed, you knew who a star was even if you didn’t really listen to him. Now it appears artists could be extremely popular off social media and SoundCloud, and anyone who’s not into that could be like “yo wtf is this?” And artists who are big, use merch/bundles to get the success that it usually takes time to get. So now a song is the #1 song in the country and you probably never heard it once

drake is probably the last rapper where you atleast know one song or a song this nikka voice is on. These nikkas who be having millions of followers just be popping out of the sky.

I know who Travis Scott is but I understand, because he uses tactics for how his music gets shuffled around billboard, how he can be the example of the “who the fukk is this and how he get so popping?” Era

anyone can get popping now. Never have to hear a song from them but someone they are one of the top acts on the planet and people act like you should already know them.

Not to hate dude, but he started off as nothing more than an ASAP Rocky knock off. It’s CRAZY to me how nobody commented on how this cat completely jocked ASAP Rocky’s whole dark skin, braids, weird/hood nikka persona. ASAP patented this dudes style with his first mixtape Livelong ASAP. Yet the white media promoted him like he was the new coming.
LMAO this a boldface lie their music sounds nothing alike and if you want to keep it 100 ASAP start to his career is no different then Drake both ripped off Houston sound, copy pasted it and made it accessible to a white fan base.

Y’all should be happy he’s getting the bag.. he’s not conscience and says a lot of dumb shyt but we shouldn’t be counting on rappers to be our leaders anyway...


Stop hating and being crabs in the barrel because he’s building and empire... salute to him. Idk why some black people question your authenticity if you had a good upbringing. Growing up in poverty doesn’t make you any more black than a suburban black.

Kendrick is super charismatic in his music a true storyteller and he still has that Mysterious aura around him,a guy who’s at the top of the food chain but can slide in and out of the limelight
effortlessly
Travis has plenty of charisma in his music. Way more than Kendrick. Making Alien voices don’t mean you have personality in music


is this even a solid comparison? they are marketed differently from each other and are different type of artist. Kendrick is marketed as this introspective grounded guy and Travis the rap rockstar.
Too each its own but I disagree. Kendrick has lots of superstar qualities and Travis almost seems like he’s autistic :yeshrug:
kendricks has qualities Travis doesnt have and Travis has qualities Kendrick doesnt. they both do. Given what type of artist they are, they have whats needed.

whatever type of qualitites" you can make a comparsion with these two that bypasses their archetype in music. Neither are that much better than each other. Tho i do agree with Crim that Travis has more personality in regards to music

@bold: Travis doesnt seem that bright on things , but neither does Kendrick bruh. Kendrick has said alot of dumb shyt to. Its a reason why Top dont let him speak on politics or any social issues.

these are rappers/musicians not activist or intellectuals
