There are plenty of OGs in the hip hop game who have some amazing stories, their numerous years in the scene leading to them having memorable interactions with each other that are just a bit surreal. Of course T-Pain, who’s been around for over a decade, has his fair share, but his story about Travis Scott might just be the funniest of them all.
Taking to a livestream, T-Pain talks about the time the two met up in the studio to work on some tracks together, but there had been a slight problem with the speakers in use, saying “Travis and his homeboys were in the studio and they were like, ‘Yo, these speakers ain’t loud enough,'” he explained. “I was like, ‘No problem, watch this’. Yo, Travis said the speakers ain’t loud enough. Bring more speakers.'”
After the speaker debacle had been rectified Travis played T-Pain an unreleased selection of tracks from his 2018 album Astroworld, which prompted T-Pain to talk production with the trap whiz.
“I started going in about how I do production. The whole time I’m looking at my computer… Then I turned around. Everybody in the room f*cking sleep. Knocked the f*ck out. Travis is also somehow sleep standing up. Don’t know-how. Can’t f*cking tell you. Don’t know what the f*ck happened. Bro, I was only talking for like three or four minutes.”
It’s absolutely hilarious, and not surprising considering Travis is one of the busiest men in music. It just goes to show however that no matter how big of an artist you are, you’re never too big to have Travis Scott fall asleep on you. Check out T-Pain telling the full story below.
