Travi$ Scott talked about what his vision for the album was. He said, “It was kinda like what I was feeling when I was trying to get to this point right now. To be sitting in this chair. And then it’s kinda like a blueprint for kids who wanna do the same,” he continued, “It’s like the inner-child-beast-man. It’s kinda like the person that might be misunderstood. Might be mistook as an asshole. Taken as a mean person, a rude person. But it’s really just super-energized. I’m just here for good times, man. I want people to have the best time ever. Especially if they’re around me. I feel like God put me here to help out with people’s soul, man.”
Scott also talked about not being a hip-hop artist. He said,“I don’t consider myself hip hop. I don’t want you to put me up next to n*ggas cause some of them n*ggas are just like, straight corny…I think with production I pay very close attention.” He added, “Cause that’s my favorite thing in music. That’s the whole drive. That’s the reason. So, I gotta just make sure I have that ill sh*t n*ggas just can’t get. N*ggas just can’t be playing they beats and have the same producer that sound like a Travi$ Scott song. I just don’t f**k with that.”
