Travis Scott appears to address Pusha T in the Jackboys 2 release
In a surprising turn of events, Travis Scott has dropped his new compilation album, Jackboys 2, amidst an ongoing feud with rapper Pusha T. The diss between the two artists, which began with Pusha T's warning towards Travis on the Clipse song "So Be It," seems to be a significant part of the context for the release of Jackboys 2.
The Clipse song, significant in the ongoing feud, was a response to Travis's friendship with Pharrell and Drake. Pusha T took aim at Travis, referring to him as a "whore" with no loyalty or moral standards in a previous interview, which was part of the Clipse's GQ Hype cover story.
Travis Scott, known for his solo releases being full-on blockbuster events, teased Jackboys 2 since March and hinted at it for over a year. The album, featuring artists Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo, all on Scott's label, was expected to be an event due to the popularity of the first tape, released around Christmas 2019.
Despite the pressure to respond to Pusha T's diss on "So Be It," there is no concrete evidence or widely reported confirmation that Travis has directly replied to Pusha T's diss on the tracks of Jackboys 2. Travis's verse on "Champain & Vacay" includes references to his Yacht Club (YN), a Blue Bugatti, selling t-shirts, and avoiding TMZ, but these lyrics do not explicitly address Pusha T's diss.
Reviews of Jackboys 2 focus mostly on the album's overall quality rather than specific diss responses. Critics note that Travis Scott needs stronger material for live performances. The album also addresses current events subtly, according to its release.
As the feud between Pusha T and Travis Scott continues, it remains to be seen if Travis will respond more directly in future releases. For now, Jackboys 2 stands as the latest offering from Travis Scott, a compelling compilation that keeps his fans engaged and eager for more.
