So as everybody knows by now, Travis Scott will be the second artist to ever hold a concert in Fortnite. After browsing this subreddit for a couple days, it has come to my attention that many of you guys are unaware of who Travis Scott is. I’m personally a big fan of Trav, so I’d thought I’d give y’all a quick rundown of who Travis Scott is, why there is so much hype around this event, and the connections between Travis and the cosmetics.
Music: Obviously, Travis Scott is most known for his music. Scott is a rapper originally coming out of the Houston area, and he was first discovered by Kanye West because of his producing work. Throughout his career he’s become one of the most innovative and influential rappers of the new generation.
Like many other rappers of the new age, he isn’t very lyrically-oriented, but what separates him from the pack is his use of psychedelic, lush, and dreamy sounds and melodies. So don’t go into his music expecting some Eminem/Nas level wordplay and lyricism, just let the sound of the music entrance you.
I also see a lot of people saying that his heavy use of auto-tune is a big turn off. To this I say, Travis doesn’t use auto-tune to come off as good singer, he uses auto-tune to create a druggy, psychedelic mood.
Travis is also known for having possibly the best concerts in the rap game, as during his last tour he literally had a roller coster positioned over the crowd, where he would take fans on to ride as he performed his songs.
Some of Travis’s notable music-related accomplishments include:
• “Rodeo,” his debut studio album which was released in 2015, peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200, selling 85K copies first week.
• “Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight,” his second studio album which was released in 2016, peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 88K copies first week.
• Travis founds his own record label under the title “Cactus Jack.”
• “Astroworld,” his very highly-anticipated third studio album which was released in 2018, peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 537K copies first week.
• His song “Sicko Mode” hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
• Travis collects 3 nominations at the 2019 Grammy Awards, including “Best Rap Album.”
• Travis performs at the 2019 NFL Super-Bowl.
If you’re looking to get into Travis’s music, some tracks I personally recommend are 90210, Stargazing, Drugs You Should Try It, Skeletons, Goosebumps, and Antidote (remember, don’t look for deep meanings in these tracks, it’s all about the sound of it.)
Fashion: Another lane that Travis has found some success in is the fashion world. Although I am far less knowledgable in this field, I’m still going to broadcast to y’all what I know.
Travis is mostly known in the fashion world for his sneakers. He often collaborates with major brands like Nike and Jordan, and you can even see his Fortnite skin rocking the “Cactus Jack” Jordan 1s.
Kardashians/Jenners: Travis is also very well known for his relationship with the youngest billionaire in the world, Kylie Jenner. They have one kid together, and they’ve had a bit off an on/off relationship. I personally don’t find this part to be too interesting, and I doubt that you care much either, so I’ll just stop it here.
Well, there you go! A quick guide to Travis Scott. Hopefully that helped some of y’all out.
