I was a big Cherish fan, they were (are?) great

 

honestly that song is so damn good and it fits perfectly for that time era that I might check them out

 

…what the fuck???

 

I just saw a 10 year old has died and this is all truly heartbreaking

 

10 year old went to the hospital which is still sad, the report of being dead isn’t accurate. Deaths ranged from 16-23.

 

this is fucking terrifying

 

I know Travis is obviously far from the only one responsible for this but what the fuck

 

Absolutely harrowing stuff.

 

As an avid concert goes in my youth there have been times where I look back and go “how do people not die at shows all of the time, how is this allowed to happen?”. It’s just an organism of people and you have zero control. Utterly terrifying.

closest I’ve come to this was RHCP at Lollapalooze in 2008. Luckily I was on the front gate so I was able to just crawl over when I had enough, but there were times I was pushed so hard up against it I thought my ribs were gonna crack.

 

I generally do wonder if we will ever get another captain Murphy release

I only say this because flying lotus release a bunch of music in his SoundCloud and it always remind me we never got another captain Murphy album

 

New JPEGMAFIA album honestly might be his best yet, this shit is fantastic. Has to be one of the most creative producers working today, and he can rap his ass off. Sings pretty well too

 

first of many, I am sure

Travis Scott and Live Nation Sued Over Astroworld 2021

 

There was a clip of people finally getting word to him while he was on stage, of what was happening. He didn’t seem to care…

 

I dunno, this sounds like copaganda to me.

 

At first I was all for waiting for more to come out before blaming Travis at all, but at this point… I think he’s definitely at least somewhat to blame here. Obviously there’s a lot of things that went wrong, but this type of thing happening at his shows is clearly a pattern with him, BECAUSE of the way he encourages it… and now it led to 8 of his fans dying, and many more with serious injuries. I honestly hope he faces some sort of consequences for this so nothing like it can happen again.

 

Him and Drake got one too I saw

 

Can’t stop listening to Three Sided Tape. Cap Peel and Headboard are so good

 

we getting new smino and new saba true blessing

 

I could be wrong but I feel like all these hip-hop artists idealized raucous rock shows without understanding the community aspect of the crowd. They just want people to go crazy and not help out those around them.

There’s too much past behavior for Travis Scott to escape cleanly from this.

 

honestly, nail on head

every punk/metal show I’ve ever been to, if someone falls down in the pit, they immediately get helped up. Big difference between that and a bunch of idiot hypebeast zoomers focused on looking cool and “raging” or whatever.

but conversely any concert of that magnitude has a massive risk factor of something like this happening. Especially one where everyone is so ill-prepared.

 

You can't gather 100k people, not have the infastructure to support it, and expect things to go well. Yes, there were lots of inexperienced concert goers and just plain selfish/bad people in the crowd, and a performer/staff that didn't seem to take any regard for the safety of the attendees, but if you're in the middle of a crowd that large and someone falls, you might not even be able to help them up if you wanted to. It mostly seems like extremely poor planning imo.

 

This is a take I like to see. I disagree, but I like it.

 

The Travis Scott Brand Wasn't Built For This

great article that puts my feelings into words much better than I could
