The rapper has produced a lush, complex, extraordinarily accomplished album that invites us mere mortals to peer in at his life behind the velvet rope
Travis Scott’s third solo studio album arrives mired in controversy. Its artwork, which depicts the A-list rapper as an enormous, golden statue that breathes fire, was shot by noted photographer David LaChapelle and originally featured trans model Amanda Lepore. She’s been removed from the final version, prompting an outcry from social media. Scott has yet to comment, so his motives remain unclear. If those motives are in any way untoward, you can respond in kind by removing however many stars from this reviews as you see fit (I’d take away all five).
The furore is indicative of the searing speculation that Scott’s every move has become subject to in recent years. There was the time he fell through the stage at Drake’s London O2 show in February last year and became a meme. And that was before he began dating Kylie Jenner, who was recently named by Forbes as a self-made billionaire (not that her membership in the Kardashian will have hurt her success), creating a formidable power couple whose infamy could well have overshadowed his much-anticipated, star-studded album.
