Studying Time: 3 minutes
When you’re a hip hop fan of a sure age, the information {that a} new Clipse album is on the best way is about as thrilling because it will get.
But when Travis Scott was trying ahead to the duo’s first studio launch in 16 years, he’s most likely feeling much less enthused after listening to the second single from Let God Type ‘Em Out.
Alongside together with his child mama, Kylie Jenner, Travis discovered himself unexpectedly known as out on the monitor “So Be It,” which dropped on Tuesday.
It’s value noting that neither Travis nor Kylie is talked about by title. However a reference to Scott’s Utopia album and his ex whose “lip gloss is poppin’” left little doubt as to whom Push was referring.
Followers might need been simply as stunned as Travis, as Kylie’s ex usually steers away from intense feuds.
Nevertheless it appears he ran afoul of Pusha, who defined the meat in a brand new interview, at one level going as far as to name Travis a “wh-re.”
Pusha T explains new beef with Travis Scott
It appears the difficulty started when Scott used footage from Clipse’s recording classes to advertise his single “Meltdown,” which featured Drake (with whom Pusha T has well-documented beef).
“The true context of that’s we had been in Paris, actually working, and he was calling to play P his new album. He got here to [Pharrell’s] studio [at Louis Vuitton HQ, where Clipse recorded most of Let God Sort Em Out]. He interrupted a session,” Push advised GQ.
“He sees [me and brother Malice] there. He’s like, ‘Oh, man, everyone’s right here,’ he’s smiling, laughing, leaping round, doing his fucking monkey dance. We weren’t into the music, however he needed to play it, needed to movie [us and Pharrell listening to it].
“After which per week later you hear ‘Meltdown,’ which he didn’t play. He performed the track, however not [Drake’s verse]. He’s carried out this lots. He has no picks. He’ll do that with anyone. He did it with ‘Sicko Mode’”
Push notes that regardless of his supposed loyalty to Drake, Scott was an early fan of the Kendrick Lamar diss monitor “Like That,” encouraging Kendrick to carry out the monitor on the famed Rolling Loud Pageant.
“He was on the [Rolling Loud] stage like, ‘Play that, play that!’ He don’t haven’t any picks, no loyalty to no person,” he mentioned including:
“He’ll leap round no matter he feels is sizzling or cling onto no matter he feels is sizzling. However you’ll be able to play these video games with these folks…We’re not in your combine. Maintain your combine over there.”
The Kanye issue
However whereas these incidents might need been the ultimate straws, it appears the true problem goes again even additional than that, stemming partially from Scott’s continued allegiance to Push’s former good friend and mentor Kanye West.
“I personally have been faraway from that crew and people folks for a minute,” Push mentioned, in reference to Kanye and his supporters.
“So, that’s the place my problem is available in—like, dawg, don’t even come over right here with that, as a result of on the finish of the day, I don’t play how y’all play. To me, that basically was identical to…he’s a whore. He’s a whore,” the Clipse legend defined (right here, GQ famous, print did not convey “the disdain in Pusha’s supply.”)
“It’s the precept of it. It’s the precept of what I’m saying. That filthy high quality that they’ve about themselves, that lack of loyalty. Travis actually has that. He’s confirmed.”
We’re guessing plenty of rappers are gonna be reminded of simply how principled the Clipse brothers may be when Let God Type ‘Em Out drops subsequent month.
