Current Events > I don't like Travis Scott,but some of the hate is racist.

(+) Yeah! (+)

People are like.. oh his is what you get with the Rap crowd.

The same thing happen o pearl Jam in 2000.
At wood stock in 1999
ect. But people are making this about rap.

ANNND look at this fans. His fans look like people who would normally love rock.

Is it wrong that I thought he was white from his name?

Yeah a lot of the stuff I've been seeing has been rooted in racism. Sucks tho cuz the rap festival industry has an over policing problem and this really isn't going to help that.
---

It sure is

i will say, part of the problem is that many rappers have started encouraging people to mosh, in a scene where moshing has never been a thing before, and the kids participating dont have any experience with how to safely mosh

i have always had a bad time in rap show mosh pits compared to the many, many punk and metal pits Ive been in over the years

The Rolling Stones had concert security actively stabbing people once, back in the 60s.

I confused him with Travis Barker for a minute there.

Its gonna be seen as a black then, when almost everybody who died, and majority of Travis fan base is white kids..

---

some of it might be racist, but he's definitely worthy of blame here because he didn't do a damn thing to stop it

Without a doubt. Festivals etc often (always) have violence and deaths from drug over doses, murder and injuries in crowds from drunk idiots who don't know better/don't care.

Doesn't excuse any of it ever happening of course, but direct your hate towards that and not just be a racist dickhead.

This is crap. Woodstock 99 at the time was used to vilify those fans as well. Same with any of the shit at rock shows.

Ive seen some silly statements about the festival and events but this might take the cake as the silliest.

Probably isnt the best thing to say in a topic calling out people for being racist

What does that have to do with racist ?

There are probably legitimate reasons to hate Travis Scott and his fans.

You must have been on Reddit recently.

Which is rather funny when a large part of his fanbase is white

That dumbfuck brought this on himself. He's been telling his fans to do crazy shit for years now, so he needs to deal with the consequences.

I hope they send his ass to jail.

And this is coming from someone that enjoys most of his music.

His real name is Jaques Berman Webster the second.

I havent seen any rap blame but I have seen a bunch of conspiracy posts about his music being satanic because of the lyrics and the festival being a sacrificial ritual. Also the stage design looking like satanic imagery or something.
