Future & Travis Scott Make History For Severely Different Reasons On The Billboard Hot 200 Chart

by

There have been a ton of rappers who have been having terrific stretches in 2024. Two of them are the leading voices of trap in Future and Travis Scott. For the former, he’s been on a 2015-esque run, being a part of three albums in WE DON’T TRUST YOU, WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, and MIXTAPE PLUTO. Of course, you can’t forget about some of his features for artists like Kanye West, Yeat, The Kid LAROI, and more. As for La Flame, the success has come in similar but slightly different manner. He came through for his OG fans by reissuing his 2014 mixtape DAYS BEFORE RODEO, days after its 10-year anniversary. His run guest appearances has also been impressive as he’s linked with Metro Boomin and Future, Kanye, Nicki Minaj, Mustard, 21 Savage, and more.

Because of both of their output, it’s lead to some incredible success on the charts. In fact, its historic on both sides, but it’s also for vastly different reasons, according to HipHopDX (via Billboard). Its official now that Future will be heading back to the top of the heap for MIXTAPE PLUTO after selling 129,000 equivalent units. With this, Pluto becomes the first musical act in six decades since The Beatles to go number one three times in six months. This makes him the fourth artist to have 11 projects do this well. As you can see below, Future was pretty ecstatic to hear about this.

Future Reacts To The Success Of MIXTAPE PLUTO

However, for Scott, he’s on the wrong side of history. DAYS BEFORE RODEO recently just topped the Hot 200 after vinyl shipments started going out. 156,000 units went out in its fourth week and ironically overtook Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet after losing in the inaugural battle by a mere 1,000 units. Now, though, just a week later, DBR is off the list entirely. This is the first time that has ever occurred. The project was seeing some similar woes in its second week with it having the steepest decline in sales for a tape that was still on the charts.

What are your thoughts on Future and Travis Scott’s vastly different performance on the charts? Are you surprised that DAYS BEFORE RODEO is completely off the Hot 200? What about MIXTAPE PLUTO going number one? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Future and Travis Scott. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Travis Scott And Ty Dolla Sign Fuel Kanye West Album Rumors On IG

by

Kanye West is as enigmatic as they come. He also overshares. The legendary artist doesn’t go for the mysterious route the way that Playboi Carti or Frank Ocean does. Rather, he confounds expectations because he seems to change his mind at the drop of a dime. Entire Wikis have been dedicated to all of the Kanye West albums that have been made and shelved over the years. He has as many unreleased albums as released ones, at this point. Because of this, a Kanye West album is always an event. And it seems like a new one might be coming soon. Travis Scott and Ty Dolla Sign seemingly think so.

Kanye West teased a new single called “Preacher Man” via Instagram on September 23. The very next day, producer Digital Nas shared a text in which West claimed to be in “art studio mode.” Then, the IG post started receiving comments from artists in the rapper’s circle. “There he is,” Ty Dolla Sign wrote underneath the video of West chopping a soul sample. Travis Scott responded, weirdly, with the same comment as Ty. Only he emphasized the word “he” in his. “There HE is,” the Houston rapper asserted. Confused? So are we. Fans have been trying to unpack what these two comments could mean, or why Scott slightly tweaked the emphasis of Ty Dolla Sign’s comment.

Travis Scott And Ty Have Also Teased New Music

This is not the first time Travis Scott and Ty Dolla Sign have teased new music in recent weeks. The former told Cultured Magazine that he was back in “album mode” and working on new songs during his tour. “I can see the music for what it is,” he told the outlet. “I’m f*cking amped.” Scott and Kanye West have not had the smoothest relationship over the last few years, but it seems as though the two have mended fences. Scott even brought West out during the Orlando leg of his UTOPIA tour.

Ty Dolla Sign, on the other hand, is working to complete his trilogy with Kanye West. The two have yet to release VULTURES 3, after the messy rollout for VULTURES 2 stretched on for weeks. Some questioned if it would ever see the light of day, but Ty Dolla Sign confirmed that it’s real and it’s coming soon. “V3 bouta rip heads off,” he wrote on Instagram. Given how close Kanye West is with both artists, it’s safe to assume they have an inside line to what he’s working on. We can only hope that the context of their IG comments come to light soon, and that West decides to bless us with his “art studio mode” as soon as possible.

Travis Scott Shows Off His Hometown In The Frenetic ‘Mo City Flexologist’ Video

by

It’s not often that a ten-year-old mixtape can come back with as much impact as Days Before Rodeo. Travis Scott‘s breakout 2014 mixtape was recently re-released for streaming and despite its age, has had an outsized effect on the charts.

It also provided Scott an opportunity to go back and release music videos for his favorite songs from the project with the resources he’s accumulated since then — for instance, “Mo City Flexologist,” which is an ode to the Houston suburb Travis grew up in, Missouri City. While he certainly could have gone all-out with the new visual, though, Travis opts to keep things looking homemade and low-fi, mixing in shots of his old high school with shots showing off the cityscape and archival news footage of coverage of his accomplishments. There are even some old black-and-white cartoons thrown in, along with a cameo from the Compton Cowboys.

Despite the success of Days Before Rodeo in its streaming debut, Travis said he’s already back in album mode working on the follow-up to his hit 2023 album Utopia, for which he wrapping up the international legs of his Circus Maximus Tour in the next month.

You can watch Travis Scott’s ‘Mo City Flexologist’ video above.

Travis Scott Drops Surprise Visuals For DBR Deluxe Cut “Mo City Flexologist”

by

The end of August was a great time for Travis Scott fans. After 10 long years, the Houston rapper would finally put DAYS BEFORE RODEO onto streaming platforms. This was something that his supporters had been hoping would happen for quite a while. When he did reissue it, though, he made sure to do it in a big way. Instead of just giving people the mixtape, he released vinyl and CD copies, apparel, bundles, as well as multiple deluxe versions. Out of the six editions, the first one may go down as the most treasured. Only available for a limited time, Scott dug up some fan-favorite unreleased cuts such as “Serenade”, “Yeah Yeah”, “Too Many Chances”, and “Whole Lots Changed”. However, there was a fifth that was included and that was “Mo City Flexologist”.

It’s probably the most unheard of one of the original bunch, but it might be the best of them. From the hungry rapping to the short but catchy chorus, Scott had everything working on this cut. The grand scale of the instrumental is also another key reason “Mo City Flexologist” sticks out in a very good way. It’s also got a lot of cool foundational elements to what would be carried over into Scott’s other projects. Even, though we are just about a month removed from that amazing run, he’s still looking to bring the rage. HipHopnMore has just made it known that a “Mo City Flexologist” music video is out now, which you can see below. It comes out of nowhere once again, but it might be here to help celebrate DBR finally going number one on the Billboard Hot 200 chart.

This marks Scott’s fourth consecutive No. 1, following Utopia (2023), Astroworld (2018), and Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016). The re-release has reignited enthusiasm around tracks like “Mamacita” and “Don’t Play,” showcasing collaborations with artists like Young Thug, Big Sean, and The 1975.

Produced by Metro Boomin, Lex Luger, and Travis Scott, DAYS BEFORE RODEO‘s gritty, moody sound helped redefine hip-hop’s sonic landscape and established Scott as a trailblazer.

Gunna Seemingly Shut Down Having Beef With Future After His Verse Was Removed From A ‘Mixtape Pluto’ Track

Yet again, hip-hop heads are asking themselves if Gunna and Future have beef. Back in May, the “Pushin P” collaborators appeared to subtly shade each other. Now, supporters have called out Future from removing a Gunna verse off his latest project, Mixtape Pluto.

With Future’s new body of work officially on streaming platforms, listeners were shocked to see that Gunna no longer appeared on its song, “Told My,” despite his verse previously being teased.

Over in his Instagram stories Gunna (viewable here courtesy of HipHopDX), seemingly addressed the removal, writing: “It’s not personal. It’s just business.”

Gunna’s suspected response is a page out of his YSL Records head honcho Young Thug’s playbook (see his recent album).

Users online aren’t convinced that there still isn’t tension bubbling underneath the surface. But it is important to note that Gunna wasn’t the only artists fans seemingly axed from Mixtape Pluto.

Based on clips shared ahead of its release, Travis Scott recorded a special verse for the Mixtape Pluto record “South of France.”

However, considering the project marked Future’s first solo release since 2020’s High Off Life, others argued that he wanted to make a creative statement on his own. Based on reports, he did just that supposedly setting an Apple Music record in the process.
