I wish I was oblivious to this story. Makes me anxious,

Being suffocated and trampled is no way to go.

I really want this thread to do more mid-30's and early 40's probably white guys breaking down Travis Scott's 'sound' and lyrics.

It's always a good reminder that behind all the grandstanding, the vast majority of Texags posters are just a bunch of Michael Bolton's from Office Space.


Let me guess you have a Travis Scott poster on your bedroom wall and like really ****ty music

That's a parenting issue if you let your kid become a big fan of someone as trash as TS


lol class of 13? big talk for someone that definitely has never had a teenager.

"let your kid become a fan"

lmao naive.


My point was about a 9 y/o being a "big fan" and going to a TS concert. In no way is that appropriate. I would hope you can agree that it's a parents job to guide your young kids in the right direction in life. That 9 y/os parents have failed to do that.

One thing about Travis Scott for those who may be unfamiliar, just to provide a little bit of context for this festival and honestly, what makes it even more sad than it would be had it been another rapper.

Travis Scott is a "local rapper" in the sense that he was a suburb kid (Missouri City) who had a unique sound that didn't fit in with what local rap sounds like for Houston. He, in a lot of ways, occupies his own space and didn't really fit with traditional chopped/screwed Houston or the FYHA local music scene of the 2010's (think Fat Tony, the Suffers, etc). Honestly never saw him around town performing "local" shows in the last ten years.

He pretty much had to go to Los Angeles or major labels to get big using a brand built on party music and memorable live sets/concerts. That's his whole lane musically. Pretty much Linkin Park for rap. His music has never been offensive, or engrained in violence, or whatever. It was just party music for Zoomers.

Then add in the fact that he was leader in "cool" for Gen Z with his look, friends, baby mama, etc. - it made his reach really, really wide.

That's why the crowd for his shows always skew younger, surprisingly diverse, and pull in people from the city and the burbs.

I think we all get it. He isn't a rapper, he's a pop singer in the same style as Lil Nas X. He makes music for teens and appeals to the same age demographic that used to fawn over groups like NSync. He may be from the Houston area, but in no way does he have a Houston style or sound, because outside of Destiny's Child, Houston isn't known for Pop music.
Houston doesn't have just one style or sound. Like it's diverse population, it has many. See Khruangbin, Lyle Lovett, Arcade Fire, Guitar Shorty, Blue October, Robert Earl Keen, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, ZZ Top, and many others.

A lot of us realized a long time ago that none of that stuff is real and that when an artist uses "satanic themes" they are doing so to trigger people that haven't grown out of those superstitions.

Corey Morrow, although country, channels the Tine when he sings about the struggles a young artist has with paying bills, getting noticed outside of Nashville, outrunning the law, dining on cigs and booze -- all things that he fought through to make it and escape the mean streets / hallways of Memorial High School.

He's a complete fake. And a complete diva. He would cry if you just drove him through some Houston Section 8.

This thread makes me feel like an aging Frank Sinatra in that old SNL skit, "The Sinatra Group."

Meh, 40 y/o white guy here and below is a few snippets from one of my more recent playlists from last few yrs. I hate a lot of his songs but like a few. Even some of his die hard fans are turning on him.

Most of his music is ghost-written overly catchy auto-tuned garbage meant for the dumb masses...and upper crust kids like Hayden, Parker and Shelby from the 77024. Quit white knighting for the fake ass rapper. He's not who he pretends to be at all.

Occasionally he puts together a decent banger for the workout mix, but the vast majority is trash music. Just like the majority of his true fans are trash people. Absolute idiots.

Calling him a "rapper" is a stretch imo. I just know people who have spent time around him and have heard accounts from people who worked for him all confirming the same thing - that he's a diva and borderline psycho who treats people like sh**. And that he's a complete pvssy. 100% fake.

Sorry that me thinking he's a trash person bothers you. I don't understand it, but I do apologize.

TIL Travis Scott's real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II.

ZFG if he's from the streets, Beastie Boys were rich kids or Parker McCollum is all hat no cattle. All have good music.
