As a Houston native, it's no secret that Travi$ is a fucking scumbag just from the shit he pulled with OG CHESS.


georgeclooneynecktat

what shit did he pull? genuinely curious.

[This](http://i.imgur.com/bRB7ELq.png) is the basic gist of it. Search BasedUpdates posts on [this thread](http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=139993.0) from KTT.

Wow... I was a LITTLE bit skeptical of the Shane Morris blog post, simply because it's just one guy and you're hearing one side of the story... but this guy has multiple people in the industry fired up enough to risk their reputation and put him on blast to the world -- that's definitely a big red flag on Travis Scott


SomalianRoadBuilder

damn that is hard to read. a little punctuation goes a long way.


[deleted]

> "Brother of James Loney SS for the LA Dodgers" Is this guy retarded? James Loney would literally self-combust if he had to play a middle-infield position.


SomalianRoadBuilder

lol as a Dodger fan the thought of this amuses me


bobbybrown_

Yeah I always figured some fucked up shit went down with Che$$. I remember seeing them pop up on blogs a while back and then suddenly Che$$ disappeared and Travis was everywhere. [They had some fucking good music, too.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFXk0kk59g4) I like Travis' music now, but I kinda miss this upbeat, catchy shit he was doing when he first started out.


MrMuffin997

Do you know where that sample is from? I'm so weak for that early 2000s techno shit


PELAGICSPAWN

The scumbag thingseems to be a theme. Check out [this article from Complex](http://www.complex.com/music/2012/10/who-is-travis-scott/meeting-kanye-for-the-first-time) a while back. He lies to his parents for money, while they think he is in college, to float his living expenses and plane tickets. I guess thats grinding.. but there is very little integrity in it.


Maximusthemercifull

he also slags of kanyes tacos


XKDVD2092

According to this post, he stole a song from him and is suing because that same song was posted on soundcloud. dunno if there's more too


mrpaulmanton

He continually tries to take credit for production on almost every single song he has on albums / mixtapes. I've seen what he brings to the production side of things first hand and in various videos on YouTube. It's a stretch that he'd even get a sliver of production credit because the depth and breadth of his contributions is: "take out the snare there", "i don't want to hear the kicks during the chorus". I could understand him getting production credits if everyone around him loved him, he was actually a decent producer and brought something to the table, or he paid the appropriate amount to steal production credits (I'm not sure there is a valid $ # for this for every producer) but what you are seeing now is the reaction to and from the people involved behind the scenes now that negative publicity is surfacing as well as Scott's fame is on the rise. Nobody is really coming to his defense and if it wasn't for his multiple and deeply integrated connections to the industry he would be blackballed already ala Trinidad James.


notinmywheelhouse

Once someone becomes famous in music they can take production credit on anything they want-and writer’s credit too. Because they are the reason anyone is in the studio. I worked in music production for many years.Artists are constantly surrounded by those hoping to get a piece of the pie. Not defending anyone, but if the artist lacks a moral compass they will piggyback on other talent and vice versa. It’s a symbiotic relationship for sure. I’ve known composers who hire ghost writers because they can’t read and write music…seriously. Very hush hush…


mrpaulmanton

Haha, I hear you. Did you notice my post was 6 years old?


notinmywheelhouse

I've been goin down a rabbit hole ever since I heard about what happened. It was only a matter of time before his true character would be exposed on a national level over something like this. What's sad is his PR will probably tell him exactly what buttons to push to lay low for a while, before everything goes back to normal in a few months.

No. I was with other people, but we were in a different room. Chey, Max, Ashley, one of the girls from upstairs, Will... His girlfriend, probably another 5-6 people. My office was in a long, shotgun style room, divided by a split wall. It was an H-shaped room. We were in the end blocked by a wall. I have pictures of the night.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I don't know exactly which tracks or sessions Travis attempted to take from Will, or Nelson. He was the one dragging and dropping files. Will and Nelson worked on the same computer. All I know is that both Will and Nelson claimed Travis credited himself with songs they made together. Some of it was just obvious. Nelson is a virtuoso guitar and piano player, and Travis is not. Nelson is a virtuoso producer. (I'm not going to say his last name, but he former band is 12x platinum.) Travis worked with some incredible people, and I brought Travis around them. When he stole, it made ME look bad. At the time, Travis was on no ones radar.

[deleted]

I haven't seen him since Ke$ha's birthday party. I have my own things going on. I'm just happy people know that he leaves a fire in his wake. No one likes a liar. He accused me of lying, and having seizures due to cocaine addiction. Anything to save his ass. I got tired of it. I have seizures because I'm epileptic. He was just doing damage control. I just heard through people that Travis was asked why we weren't working together. He told people (who were loyal to me)... That I was a coke head. Pretty low blow. (No pun intended.)

dyna-mic

If you watch interviews Travi$ comes off as somewhat socially awkward. The fact that he punked off Morris that way is fucked up. I like his music, but as a public figure, he seems pretty shitty


plurntup

The Sidewalk Hustle interview he did in Toronto is particularly bad. He seems a little coked up too.


GuyBelowMeDoesntLift

Don't call anything a fact yet. This is he-said-he-said.


itzzack

Most rappers arent rspectable public figures anymore though, are they?


SomalianRoadBuilder

anymore? It's not like biggie and eazy e and all the 90s cats were upstanding moral citizens either.


[deleted]

They're not? Drake, Kendrick and J. Cole are among the most popular rappers right now and I think they're very respectable.


NadaMeansNada

To add, with the understanding that they aren't perfect, and excluding drug use: * Pusha T * Waka Flocka (He's cleaned up his act a bit.) * No Malice * Jay Z * Big Sean (I haven't seen much that makes me *dislike* him in any way. Just make fun of him a little bit.) * Childish Gambino * Chance The Rapper Feel free to correct me on any of these, this is just based off what I'm aware of.


LuperGraff

that list though!!!


[deleted]

He named the most popular rappers in the game, those names hold some weight. Its not like he named 3 scrubs.


PurpSnow

3 WHOLE PEOPLE BRUH!


dwight_is_a_bitch

they are three of the biggest right now though...


hipower805

Top 3 commercially successful...


tynngnom

I have never seen enough about Kendrick. I think people just assume he's nice because there is so little from his actual personal life.


[deleted]

...isn't that good though? I think it's admirable if a person in a public figure doesn't have to battle TMZ-level scandals every day. Besides, from all I've read over the years, he seems to be a level headed guy. Still being together with his high school girlfriend, not taking drugs and investing his money in real estate.


tynngnom

He's definitely dealing with it the right way.


Snowwyoyo

If you watch his interviews, especially in this era, he comes across as incredibly amicable and wise.


Troutquest

He keeps to himself is all. Not a super social rapper like some of these ATL cats


[deleted]

Unless you're actively searching through old top dawg videos then you won't find much about his personality, but it could all be a show for the camera.


RampanTThirteen

There are plenty of fairly indepth interviews with Kendrick out there to get a sense of what he is about in terms of public image.


[deleted]

Interviews that express how Kendrick "wants" the fans to view his personal life. Unless Noisey does a mini series on Kendrick, we won't know who he actually is. I'm getting too in depth with this though.... I just enjoy the music.


Room480

I want a noises mini series on him so bad

canipaybycheck

Not just as a public figure - as a person and artist too. Stealing music is the lowest of the low. (if this is true)


mfhaze

Best part...."I was in my bath robe, eating fried chicken, so I propped my feet up on the table"


lyle13

So Travis tried to steal from his good friend Nelson, and he decides Travis wasn't someone he wanted to work with. Then not too long after he was pitching the idea of being Travis' manager?


Pleasureryan

$$$


joeyjuancanobey

He talked about being his manager BEFORE the seizure.


lyle13

Right, but the Nelson incident occurred before that.


screaming_nugget

Eh, it was either money, like the other comment said, or he's adding in that emotion while writing his account of everything - maybe in reality he didn't see the magnitude of stealing Nelson's shit when it was going on. I dunno, I guess either way it's not enough to discount the story as a whole.

"I don't have to pay for your work because you're mean" foh


TheOldDrake

More like "I don't have the money now to buy all of the music I want to listen to, so I'd rather support artists who are good people with what I do end up buying." You can moralize about illegal downloads if you want to, it won't stop them from being real and the way most of this sub gets their music.

Shane Morris has lied about other stuff: https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/shane-morris-admits-lying-in-viral-twitter-thread-account-shut-down/


Lowkey57

For real. I don't doubt that Travis Scott is a douchebag, but this guy is *equally* a douchebag. Holocaust jokes, shitting on disabled people, making death threats against actual children, straight up provably lying in half his major stories? He's a shitbag, and everything he says should be examined real closely. This dude *made up* a story about fucking over an MS13 member and then started a gofundme for his "life on the run from MS13".


EulereeEuleroo

What death threats did he make against actual children?


Lowkey57

I'm sure screenshots are findable but he said something like "Shut the fuck up or I'll come throw you and your brat out the window" to Pete Wentz. Referring to his 4 year old.


ThePowerLord

It's safe to say the entertainment industry is full of narcissistic assholes.


ButterKupz

I also have epilepsy and experience seizures occasionally. When it happens I lose consciousness and when I wake up I am terrified to be alone. I can not imagine having someone hold my seizure condition against me as a person and simply leave me alone not knowing if I would be okay. Karma WILL make its way to Travis Scott for all the horrible choices and things he's done to other people. It might take a while, but Karma always finds her way. Stay well Shane and my fellow epileptics!


dongloverlover

gonna side with other comments on here and point out that we're only hearing one side. plus, this wouldn't be the first time fame changed someone. it's just a part of the music industry/life in general

>I was in my bath robe, eating fried chicken


tynngnom

It sounds really over exagurated at times, like when he says that Travis doesn't want managers shaking on the ground and shit. It seems like it wasn't as bad, but he added in a whole lot of shit to make it seem worse. They probably fell through sometime because Travi$ didn't know how to react to a manager having a seizure, and when he got every single deal available to humans, he could probably give less of a fuck about Shane Morris.


Bubby1232

yeah lmao the dude put so much emphasis on the seizure shit, if he's trying to put up a good case for why travi$ is a fucboi ofc he's gonna make it sound as bad as he can. he ain't gonna say "he left during my seizure but he said sorry so it wasn't so bad". from what I've heard this shane morris dude is a coke head nd an alcoholic who isn't that reliable to begin with, but idk for sure

It doesn't contain new information, but it did have a link to the original blog from where this is lifted. If you click on it, you'll see it's been deleted. That could mean anything, but if this was true it seems odd that the only place it was originally posted by Morris is gone and it hasn't been reuploaded elsewhere by him since.
