Travis Scott Fans React To Killer Mike Winning Best Rap Album Over “Utopia”

by

Travis Scott fans were in an uproar on social media after Killer Mike took home the awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday night. Overall, the ceremony marked Scott’s 10th losing nomination over the course of his career. He’s still yet to win.

“Travis Scott deserved this one especially after the grammys disaster of 2018,” one user wrote on Twitter. Another shared a highlight reel of LeBron James with the caption: “The Grammys when it comes to always robbing Travis Scott off AOTY.” One fan tweeted: “Listen I like it. But I’m telling you right now pretentious whites who ‘aren’t really into rap’ really f*ck with Run the Jewels and Killer Mike. See it with a lot of my festival friends. I liked all the albums nominated and am happy for him. But it’s not AOTY IMO.”

Travis Scott Paid A Janitor $5000 To Stop Mopping And Start Raging During A Recent ‘Utopia’ Show

Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus tour for his album Utopia has lived up to its title, offering night after night of entertaining spectacle as the Houston rapper crisscrosses the nation. In addition to performing the fan-favorite “Fein” multiple times in a row, he’s also brought out his daughter Stormi to perform with him and had to dodge his stage props, including one in the shape of his own head. The bass even knocked over an NHL trophy in Montreal.

At his recent stop in Miami, though, he did something pretty cool. Noticing a janitor working during the show, he stopped to offer the man $5,000 to put down his mop and rage along with the fans in attendance. He then went right into performing the highlight “Fein,” (ten times, according to the Miami New Times) with the crowd even more amped up than usual after witnessing his random act of kindness. Let’s just hope the maintenance worker’s bosses at the Kaseya Center are understanding and actually let him keep the money (there are usually rules against this sort of thing, but come on, man).

Travis is wrapping up the Utopia tour after two more shows (01/31 — Orlando, FL @ Amway Center and 02/05 — Louisville, KY @ KFC Yum Center), then performing at the 2024 Grammys. He’s also got a movie, “Aggro Dr1ft,” coming out, then… we’ll see.

Travis Scott Brings A Twisted Tale About Two Loves To Life In Visuals For “I KNOW ?”

by

Travis Scott’s explorative fourth studio album UTOPIA was bound to be a major success when it dropped. It has become just that. Everything from the rich soundscapes, standout features, and sales numbers, to the theatrical tour, Scott made sure to give the fans what they had been yearning for. Another draw of the record is the performances by La Flame himself. There are a lot of great ones to choose from, but “I KNOW ?” is arguably the best of the bunch.

The Houston, Texas multi-hyphenate brought a mysterious and alluring quality to the track. From the hypnotic and eerie piano instrumental, to the storytelling, along with the melodic mastery, there is nothing to nitpick. Scott details his druggy utopia that he feels safe in but also acknowledges how twisted it is. On top of that, there is a theme of betrayal on his part. He is entangled with two women at once.

Watch The Music Video For “I KNOW ?” By Travis Scott

Travis illustrates that in the visuals that have just dropped moments ago. Directed by himself and Dave Meyers, the superstar rapper plays out scenes with supermodels Emily Ratajkowski and Anok Yai. The latter appears to be who is “faithfully” committed to, and Emily is the one whom Scott is having an affair with. There are some simple but effective shots, especially when he and Emily’s faces mesh together. The story comes full circle at the end when Travis drives back to his house and the shots go back and forth between Anok and Emily as to who he is living with. It adds nicely to the hallucinogenic feelings he is dealing with.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new music video for “I KNOW ?” by Travis Scott? Is this the best song from UTOPIA, why or why not? Will this project be remembered as a classic in the next few years? Is this his catchiest song ever? How do you feel about the visuals that we have gotten so far for the album? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Westside Gunn Reacts To Travis Scott “Utopia” Collab Criticism

by

Back in July, Travis Scott unveiled his eagerly-anticipated fourth studio album, Utopia. The project arrived jam-packed with high-profile features from the likes of The Weeknd, Drake, Playboi Carti, and even Dave Chappelle. He also teamed up with Westside Gunn for the track “Lost Forever,” which quickly became a fan favorite. Not every listener was thrilled with the collab, however, as evidenced by a recent social media post.

One critic took to Twitter to express their disappointment with the song, accusing Westside Gunn of ruining its potential. “@WESTSIDEGUNN ruined one of the best tracks on UTOPIA with his annoying high pitched voice.. LOST FOREVER had the potential to be the best track on there,” they wrote.

Westside Gunn Is Crying “All The Way To The Grammys”

Westside Gunn wasn’t about to let the hateful comment slide, firing back by reminding the user that the album earned a Grammy nomination, his verse and all. “’Whipped the cocaine to the pot bust you was on the porch I was locked up,’” he wrote, quoting the track. “These type of comments is bullying it makes me sad I’m crying my fly pretty a** all the way to the Grammys.” They exchanged a few more jabs, with the user telling him to “enjoy [his] 5 min of fame.” Westside Gunn then brought up his 5 Grammy nominations again, prompting the user to say he only has two.

“Hahahahahahahaha u still ready,” the artist responded, listing off the albums he’s worked on that have been nominated. “I never wanted to be the best rapper buddy,” he also added. “I’m the illest curator & owner of Griselda records I make ART idc even about the accolades I’m a live forever.” What do you think of a social media user accusing Westside Gunn of ruining his track with Travis Scott? Are you a “Lost Forever” fan? What about his response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Travis Scott Wants Virgil Abloh’s Ghana Skate Park Reopened, Manifests “UTOPIA” Grammy

by

Travis Scott is making a call to action after he found out that his good friend Virgil Abloh’s skate park in Ghana is currently in shambles. This was one of his last initiatives before he passed away, and apparently someone filled it with cement, sand, and brick walls while claiming to own the land. It seems like a very complicated and unclear situation, with some blaming the government, others advocating for its closure, and many confused about the whole thing. Regardless, the Houston MC wants something done to restore this park to its former glory, as it will keep the design legend’s legacy alive and well while opening a space for fun and community like he envisioned.

“MANNN WHATT,” Travis Scott wrote as an Instagram comment recently, presumably for a post covering this ordeal. “WHAT WE DOINNNNNGGGGGGGG. LET ME KNOW WHAT WE GOTTA DO TO GET MY BROTHER PARK BACK GOING PLEASSSSSEEEEEEE.” For those unaware, they had a close relationship, one that carries over even after the latter’s tragic loss. For example, La Flame was announced as a headliner for a festival honoring the Off-White and Louis Vuitton icon’s memory.

However, he also has other other metrics by which he wants to do right by Virgil. One of these is his own musical work, the most recent of which was his 2023 smash hit album UTOPIA. Moreover, it’s nominated for Rap Album Of The Year at the 2024 Grammys, and Travis Scott let out a tweet on Thursday (January 4) manifesting a win against Metro Boomin’s HEROES & VILLAINS, Nas’ Kings Disease III, and more. “Gotta bring that rap album [trophy emoji] for the fans demmmmm Let’s lock in UTOPIA,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, the “HYAENA” creative continued to make more strides in the fashion world, which echo Virgil’s artistry. The most recent sneaker of his we covered was the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Sail”. Hopefully the skate park finds a balance between respecting Abloh’s craft and respecting the will of Ghanians. Furthermore, for more news and the latest updates on Virgil Abloh and Travis Scott, log back into HNHH.

Travis Scott’s Borderline-NSFW ‘Topia Twins’ Video With Rob49 And 21 Savage Is A Family Affair

by

Travis Scott hasn’t released very many videos for his new album Utopia, but the ones he has have been events. The videos for “K-Pop,” “God’s Country,” and “Hyaena” are all relatively tame, though, in comparison to his Travis’ borderline-NSFW new clip for “Topia Twins.”

The video lives up to its title, featuring multiple sets of scantily-clad siblings riding jet skis, twerking on a yacht, and flashing in a local convenience store (with artful but ultimately pointless mosaic censoring). Rob49 and 21 Savage both appear for their respective verses, with Savage delivering his bars in a separate set of scenes overseeing a boxing match between one pair of twins and menacing the camera in night vision.

“Topia Twins” is one of the standouts on Utopia thanks to the two guest rappers. While 21 Savage is already a force in his own right, the emerging Rob49 used the placement to make a name for himself. In an August interview with Uproxx last year, he explained how his appearance on the track happened, and how the song evolved from its original version to the raucous format it has now. “It was just a mellow song, how his mellow songs be,” he recalled. “I said, ‘Give me this right here and put this up here. Cut the beat right here. This the song we’re going to start it from right here.’ And that’s what we did.”

Watch Travis Scott’s “Topia Twins” video featuring Rob49 and 21 Savage above.

Travis Scott, Rob49, & 21 Savage Deliver Borderline NSFW “Topia Twins” Music Video

Travis Scott is one of the biggest artists in the entire world at this point. Overall, he is someone who is always pushing his sound forward, and that was more than evident with UTOPIA. Although it is an album that has proven to be a bit polarizing, there are a lot of fans who love it. In fact, some would argue that this was the best album of 2023. Critics would have something to say about that, however, Travis does not care. He is doing his thing and the fans continue to support it.

There have only been a couple of music videos for this album so far. He has the Circus Maximus movie, however, it only encompasses a couple of the songs. Now, however, he has come through with the music video for the track TOPIA TWINS. This is one of the best collaborations on the project and it features Rob49 as well as 21 Savage. It is a high-octane song with some pretty raunchy lyrics. It is a truly fantastic track, and this music video is one that will have you changing tabs if your mom walks in the room.

Travis Scott With A New Visual

As you can see above, this is a video that is filled with debauchery and scantily clad women. The Clermont Twins make an appearance in this video which seemed like a true given at this point. As for Travis and Rob49, they can be seen cruising on jetskis all while being surrounded by various twins. It is a video that plays on male fantasies and for some, it will really hit the notes of what one would consider to be a utopia.

Hopefully, we end up with more great music videos from this album rollout that still appears to be ongoing. Let us know what you thought of this visual, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
