Meh, call me inconsiderate, but that doesn't affect the MP3 though.

That article I posted in here awhile back sums it up really well.
Travis makes music for people that don't care about what ingredients are put into the food, they just want a meal that tastes good.

I'm not talking about the people who defend his music. I could care less about the person behind the microphone as long as the music sounds good

I'm talking about the ones who blindly praise his character and try to defend him when he makes terrible decisions because they stan him so much

Oh, yea, he's a real a------ that does dumb s---. I'll give you that.

At times, when you’re dealing with something as subjective as music it’s hard to understand or communicate the feelings that emerge when you hear, see or truly feel something. I understand the logical arguments against Travi$. I am well aware that he’s not the sole producer on a majority of his songs, despite being signed to G.O.O.D. Music as a producer. I know he’s a sub-par lyricist, and that I myself have trouble recalling more than one or two of his lines that have produced an “oh s---” moment, and even then it was just because something he said sounded cool. h---, I can barely remember his words from the songs I like and have listened to them countless times. Also, he's a unrepentant dickhead, or at least that's how he often comes across when we see stories of his onstage (or offstage) antics.
...
That's the key here: the sound. As hard as it is to communicate a vibe, it is the defining aspect of Travi$ as an artist. Early on, it was clear that Scott's sonic preferences drew heavily from his two musical heroes: Kanye West and Kid Cudi. Lately, it's been increasingly difficult to determine whether it's Travi$ jacking their styles, or the other way around. He's been characterized as an amalgam of Ye and Cudi's dark sides, along with flecks of the prevailing rap trends of the moment, but he's become so synonymous with the sound that he now owns that lane. Every record he's on these days takes on a certain vibe, one that's characterized by mind-numbing bass, wailing futuristic synths and Auto-Tuned ad-libs. Pusha's "Blocka," Big Sean's "10 2 10" and French Montana's "5 Mo" all utilize different artists and producers, yet all three are immediately recognizable as "Travi$ Scott" songs.

Mostly, though, it's energy. Watch when Kanye brings the Houston native out for OVO Fest this year (with nice speakers), and tell me you don't get goosebumps when "Upper Echelon" drops (a little after :30 seconds in).


Travi$ Scott embodies energy. It's pure, unadulterated adrenaline that permeates every record and live performance. For many, this is his draw. Every show comes with the possibility that Travi$ might physically fight security, throw a tantrum on-stage or incite a full-scale crowd riot. I saw him live a few weeks ago, and the crowd's anticipation was palpable. True to form, he not only encouraged a crowd fight but had his audio cut before storming off stage... and it was awesome. Lucas wrote an excellent piece a couple months ago that recognized the hypocrisy so common among hip-hop fans, and how we need to examine our own personal lines of morality. Travi$ is my example; where I would usually consider such antics immature, I have a tendency to revel in his path of destruction. We all like to turn our brains off sometimes.
