In a newly released clip from the episode, which airs Saturday May 4, Scott shared some interesting thoughts on why he thought Soundcloud became such a powerful tool for the newest generation of rappers.
“I was doing this interview, man, for Playboy, right?” Travis explained. “And the interview guy was like, he was saying my generation was SoundCloud rappers, and I was like, ‘Wait, pause.’ I had to tell him, like, you got it twisted. SoundCloud was there for us because SoundCloud understood, like, we wanna drop a song right now. We’re not trying to wait for any load-up. We wanna go right now, our fans, and then people adapted to our speed.”
Pharrell agreed with the “Sicko Mode” rapper calling Gen Z and millennial rappers “new gifts to the species because they grew up online.”
