Travis Scott plays both sides?
Oh no!
Anyways
Travis "Enlightened Centrist" Scott
Didnt he literally diss dude in the snippet
Read the title thread to find out who he dissed
And obviously Pusha &Malice understand attention currency better than most given their history in the game. But we can be honest that outside of the want to hear the clipse reunited (we not talking about boo boo JIK) they’ve been able to garner a lot of attention due to the intentionality that they display in the language they use.
I hate to beat a dead horse but It’s very reminiscent of how Kendrick positioned himself is the arbiter truth in the beef with Drake because it makes the consumer/listener incline to favor their position and whatever they say. It’s a very great chance that Travis did exactly what Pusha said but we don’t know without official receipts (the timeline does line up).
TDLR: kudos for chess moves
I love Push. He’s probably one of my 5 favorite rappers ever but he needs to drop this s***. He’s nearly 50. Who f***in cares. You’re playing f***ing high school politics.
He is a competitive rapper? This narrative is getting tired and makes 0 sense
“The true context of that is we were in Paris, literally working, and he was calling to play P his new album. He came to Pharrell’s studio at Louis Vuitton HQ, where Clipse recorded most of Let God Sort Em Out. He interrupted a session,” Pusha recalled. “He sees me and Malice] there. He's like, ‘Oh, man, everybody's here,’ he's smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his f***ing monkey dance. We weren't into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film us and Pharrell listening to it. And then a week later you hear ‘Meltdown,’ which he didn’t play. He played the song, but not Drake’s verse.”
Tbf for Travis didn’t Drake submit his meltdown verse at the very last minute?
If my Pusha T regression models are correct he’ll be dissing Carti for his next album promo!
how Travis was looking before he played meltdown in the studio
travis taking kanye's song and using the "god's country, this is war" line like that combination of words has any meaning to him beyond sounding cool, that's his entire ethos as an artist lol
Not like any of these lyrics on JIK or “God’s Country” meant anything to ye either lol
It’s all a cash grab at this point

This hiphop f*** all that
the album is definitely about him settling long time scores with people he wasn't comfortable beefing with until now
But hasn’t he always been capable of doing that? It’s not from a lack of skill position. And it certainly can’t be from a lack of leverage, at least post 2017 down.
Is he wrong?
Push was quick to add that he doesn’t “hold Travis to any standard,” because as he sees it, Travis has a pattern of remaining conveniently neutral when it suits him. “He's done this a lot. He has no picks. He'll do this with anybody. He did it with ‘Sicko Mode’”— on which Drake seems to diss Kanye, despite Travis’s close ties to him. Push then referenced last spring when Travis joined Future and Metro on stage and excitedly asked them to tease “Like That,” the song whose incendiary Kendrick Lamar verse ignited Kendrick’s beef with Drake: “He was on the Rolling Loud stage like, ‘Play that, play that!’ He don't have no picks, no loyalty to nobody. He'll jump around whatever he feels is hot or cling onto whatever he feels is hot.
Hes not wrong. Hes right. But address that in a fire verse.
I mean
No s***

of course he has but he leveraged his kanye partnership til the bitter end first before doing this
Over there years I feel like there have been little tidbits of travis being snakey. Never really paid attention to it tho
I mean
No s***
im sure he would stay on point for about .05 of a bar before he just moved on to some puddle deep lyrical aura farming
ChatGPT prompt: "Travis Scott disses Pusha T 16 bars"

"Travis Scott-Style Diss (16 Bars)"
I don’t do subliminals, I just elevate,
Got the flame on lock while you ventilate.
Talkin’ weight, but I levitate —
I was in the heights, you was pushin’ plates.
Used to dish dirt, now you dish shade,
Try to throw salt, but it miss, fade.
I’m a storm in the Wraith with the roof cave,
You a throwback — stuck in the Clipse days.
Grew from the mud, now the stars mine,
Wrist cold, but the bars shine.
Got Ye on the line, told him never mind,
'Cause the real ones see through the petty lines.
Ain’t no malice in my heart, just facts,
Still the top dawg — check the stats.
Uzi in the trunk with the slatt slatt,
I’m the fire you feel when the track snaps
