The Travis Scott Burger Pod - 3: Unpacking The Complexity of The Travis Scott Burger
play

05/10/21 • 85 min

It’s burger time. We made it! With the Saweetie x McDonald's promotion coming Aug 9 (on the heels of the BTS promotion), this episode is more relevant than ever. 

Here in episode 3 (the center of this series), I finally dig into the  actual McDonalds promotion, unpacking the constellation of projects, drops, and public events Travis Scott packed into the 28 days from Sept 4 to Oct 8, 2020. Through the burger promotion, I explore broader questions of what it means to "sell out" in modern American culture, and how fans generally react when major artists work with major brands.

Not quite as much discussion here of Kanye West, for those excited Donda fans...we return to Kanye for a bit next episode, to discuss his politics.

Love and respect to the late Mark Fisher.

The Travis Scott Burger Pod - 1: The Rise of Travis Scott / "Travis Scott Saved My Life"
play

05/10/21 • 64 min

Hello. Welcome. This is the Travis Scott Burger Pod. Thank you for listening. If you like this first season, pretty please give it a five-star review on the Apple podcast app. I think that helps spread it around. Thanks in advance. Love to all.
This first episode provides a little background necessary to understanding what Travis has achieved so far in his career and how much he means to his dedicated fans. Topics include: the rise of Travis Scott, the meme phrase, "Travis Scott saved me life," his complicated relationship with his parents, his parasocial connection with Kid Cudi, his come-up alongside Tyler, The Creator and ASAP Rocky as aesthetically obsessed full-package artistes, and his relationship with Kanye West (Donda coming soon). Here we watch "Jacques become Scott," as Travis says, the dropout from the Houston suburbs exploding into a global superstar.
(FYI: Episodes 1 and 2 are both pre-burger, so if you already know everything about Travis Scott and Kanye and Supreme, feel free to jump to episodes 3 and 4.)

Well, this episode just became a whole lot more relevant after Travis Scott's Dior collab, not to mention the outfits Kanye is wearing at these Donda release parties... In this one I tell the stories of Supreme, of Kanye West's relationship with the luxury fashion industry (which, again, may be key to understanding elements of Donda), of his longtime collaborator Virgil Abloh, and of Travis Scott's entrance into these commercial markets. We cover drop culture, cop culture, and the ways in which Travis has employed these phenomena to his own artistic and financial ends. Basically all this is necessary to understand the hype around McDonalds merch drop, and to see how major artists and major brands have really started to blend over the past decades.
