Now, I know that Jaquise did not think he was going to get away with this. Because if there's one thing I'm consistent on with this podcast, if you've listened throughout the times of me covering Mr. Jaquise, is that AstroWorld situation is one of the most horrific events I've ever seen as far as covering hip hop. the events that led up to it and then the event that happened was beyond horrendous. And if you don't believe me, if you think AstroWorld situation was just something that happened, what, two to three years ago and everybody should just let it go, just know that Asteroil was not the first time Travis Scott was out here promoting fans and inciting riots. as in 2015, he was arrested for encouraging fans to rush the stage at Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago. In 2017, he was arrested again for inciting a riot after he encouraged fans to bypass security in rush the stage at the Walmart, Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers, Arkansas. Then, you know, we have a list. 2019, a fan of Travis, a fan at a Travis Scott concert.

in Manhattan, I'm assuming Manhattan, New York, fell off a balcony and was paralyzed after Travis Scott encouraged the fans to rush forward. Now, usually, when you're reporting on these type of sensitive subjects, you say allegedly might have happened, but these are documented events that you could go look up on your own time. But for this specific segment, because of course I know you see the title, it's talking about the brand new single, upcoming single from Mr. Jack Quees, but what I wanted to focus on, especially with the platform that I've built now, is to put a light on artists trying to disguise and put smoke and mirrors around what's actually

happening. Because there's a reason why, let me see, there was the union, the, the, Musician Syndicate from Egypt, it's like the Egyptian people, the music union or whatever, they came out and said it was quote unquote canceled and that they took away Travis Scott's performing license or whatever from to perform at the pyramids. But after further, after more investigation, basically, Travis Scott's team came out and told Billboard that they still plan on being at the what is actually what is actually called let me find it the pyramids of geiza g i za so geiza geiza i don't know

anyways they still plan at of on performing at the pyramids of giza so they deny the reports from egypt mind you like the people who's actually there like the people they're trying to perform for in that location, those people are coming out saying that, oh, yeah, we canceled the Travis Scott concert due to protests from the Egyptian music's musician syndicate. And then they also cited concerns that Travis Scott's music and performance were contradictory to the identity of Egyptian culture. Reason why this is such a big deal, because a lot of other artists

have came about the music, the music scene, but not, no rap. has ever performed at the pyramids, I believe, as, well, not in the previous days. Like, as far as, like, the, like, four to five, five to ten years. Like, it hasn't been recent. The only recent performer as a rapper we've had at the Pyramas of Giza was Russ. I mean, you just look at Russ, and, you know, you look at him and you can understand why they will let him perform. But, you know, it's besides the point.

We don't want to make this a race topic. We want to focus on Travis Scott and his antics for inciting riots behind the scenes. They say he reportedly. Now, this stuff you have to say alleged. He allegedly like higher inadequate security so that when he tells the crowd to rush the stage, they can't stop it. So basically it's all a part of the plan. And it kind of just caught up to him in the AstroWorld situation. But another thing I wanted to touch on was.

his apology, which is the main reason why I'm still talking about it is his apology was beyond atrocious. His apology was like when somebody does something bad as a little kid and they have to apologize to continue. That's not something that they went out their way to show you they were sincerely sorry for. It's one of those PR-type statements where you have to put your face to the apology and for the majority of Travis Scott's apology for the actual situation. His hands was on his face. He seemed disconcerned about what he was saying. He was looking around. He's like, oh, man, can't believe that happened. You know, like, obviously it wasn't verbatim. That's what he said. But, you know, it was just such a bad apology. I've never seen anything like that for a situation

this serious. So that's why I keep harping on it. And especially with my platform, I want to point out some of the hypocrisies as going into like the whole Travis Scott situation because you know everybody loves Travis Scott music personally I love Travis Scott music like honestly as far as his discography it can be put up there as far as some of the best hip-hop discography of all time like that's how good Travis Scott is and making an album so I have no I have no doubt that Utopia will be beyond fire and probably a classic honestly but with this single trying to disguise and also attaching that to the controversy because it is controversy

no matter how Travis Scott's PR team wants to spin it there is controversy at the pyramids of Giza because they do not want to let him perform obviously his team came out and said that was false so that that's something you can either believe

the what's it called the Egyptians musicians syndicate which we don't even know who that is but we definitely know who Travis Scott's team is that's talking to Billboard. Like if they're putting out a quote like that with the marketing dollars behind Travis Scott, because if you don't think that Nike is trying to make

their money off of Travis Scott's shoe line, then you have another thing coming for you because they're not letting this go by any stretch of the imagination. It was like, what canceled concert? This is happening whether Egypt likes it or not. That's how Nike is looking at it. And just two to three years after the whole AstroWorld situation, I'm just so

I'm so interested to see how how like understanding people are with this whole Egyptian performance like people are like all these problems that are popping up and people are like

oh I'm still going I'm still gonna enjoy Utopia at the pyramids of Giza so I'm like hey to each his own man I guess that's when you look at Thanos and be like maybe he was right man maybe he was right

but anyways another thing For Travis Scott in this single, I'm not going to lie to you strictly talking about music, this may be the best song of 2023. See, I feel like when you're able to not look at things connected as far as personality to music, you get into a very interesting territory. Because while I do bring up the AstroWorld situation every chance I get, because I don't really see too many other platforms talking about how Travis Scott just inherently has a knack for inciting riots. So I feel like it's my like responsibility with the platform that y'all have given me to point that out. Also, I feel like music wise is completely different from personality wise. It's almost like Travis Scott is able to get away with this

because of him being so talented. It's almost a Kanye West like effect, but I don't want to compare musically Travis got to Kanye. But as far as discography, I feel like it's getting into a conversation where Travis Scott may one day be in a conversation with a Kanye West. Because what album, what project has Travis Scott actually like missed with? If you think about Kanye, I mean, you have Yeezus. You have Jesus as King, which a lot of people didn't care for.

You have a lot of other ones. I forget the, it wasn't, it definitely was. 1808. I think it was, I think he's, this is the one with the like the blank CD, right? And then he had some other ones that was like, here to miss. Oh, it was like the self-titled Yay and then kids, he goes with Kid Cutty.

Basically, you know, some projects where people didn't really care for. Travis Scott, every single project has been straightfire, classic. Everybody wants to hear it and everybody is clamoring to hear it. So it's no surprise to see the same effect

happen when he announces that He's putting out a song with not only Abel Tesfay, but also one of the biggest musicians that just came up out of nowhere in Bad Bunny. This track, if he's complete, they could be taking turns coughing over the beat, and this would go number one. I think Travis got Bad Bunny in the weekend

is a complete cheat code in a way that we've never seen before. This is almost like if Taylor Swift was his name, Morgan Wallen and who else, Adele, if they did a track together. That's almost the equivalent to the hip-hop space. Because of course, Bad Bunny isn't technically in the hip-hop arena,

but he's accepted enough by hip-hop culture to be implemented in the features, and nobody battenay. As far as the weekend, everybody knows, the weekend kind of came up under Drake, helped him out with take care, and now you see his career is like almost bigger than Drake's. But Basically, what I'm saying is

Travis got the weekend and Bad Bunny all on one specific track for a single. Just sounds like an ultimate cheat code and separating Travis Scott's antics from the music. I think this has a potential to be one of the

if not one of the greatest tracks, the greatest track of 2023. So anyways, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. As far as my Travis Scott fans, out there and supporters out there. What do y'all think about the way I cover Travis Scott? What's y'all opinion on it? Do y'all think I'm going too hard? Do y'all think I'm completely

justified in my take? And also, music-wise, do you think that this song will be better? No, no. Do you think that this will be a hit? And also, do you think that Utopia will end up being a classic.
