Ain't nobody triller than Scott....
ha!
Here is the thing that so many people do not understand about Houston music, whether it be hip hop (Geto Boys, Travi$ Scott, etc.), freakfolk (Jandek, Charalambides), metal (Dead Horse, Academy Black), noise freakrock (Rusted Shut), Free jazz/funk (Free Radicals), and garage prog (The MIke Gunn, Sugar Shack). H-town music is deeply involved in psychedelics. Everyone in Houston goes through a heavy LSD phase for some reason. It is always available and cheap and has been since I can remember. There is always a hallucinatory element to Houston music, and Travi$ Scott specifically has that, and even discusses being on acid in songs.
Back in the day The Geto Boys did an interview with Jim and Debbie Goad's magazine ANSWER ME!, and they discussed how Houston is full of every kind of mind-altering substance and that even in the hardest ghetto there are acid heads and mushroom heads..... Maybe it's the heat.
Either way, TRavis Scott has it in spades.
Out of all the shit I have been listening to, however, Kevin Gates is the best RAPPER. He could have flowed on any track in any time, 70's 80's 90's 00's and now.....
