The Travis Scott Burger Pod

FOOD BANK FUNDRAISING DRIVE OFFICIALLY CLOSED. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR DONATIONS

It's burger time. We made it! With the Saweetie x McDonald's promotion coming Aug 9 (on the heels of the BTS promotion), this episode is more relevant than ever.  Here in episode 3 (the center of this series), I finally dig into the  actual McDonalds promotion, unpacking the constellation of projects, drops, and public events Travis Scott packed into the 28 days from Sept 4 to Oct 8, 2020. Through the burger promotion, I explore broader questions of what it means to "sell out" in modern American culture, and how fans generally react when major artists work with major brands. Not quite as much discussion here of Kanye West, for those excited Donda fans...we return to Kanye for a bit next episode, to discuss his politics. Love and respect to the late Mark Fisher. Twitter: https://twitter.com/OneHandClappTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@onehandclapp?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCswS3h0iBw3QsoYMu8WoH8QPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/onehandclapHere are links from the episode itself: The Contentious Tale of the McDonald's “I'm Lovin' It” Jingle: https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1227-the-contentious-tale-of-the-mcdonalds-im-lovin-it-jingle/Justin Timberlake's McDonald's Ads Are Unpopular: http://popdirt.com/justin-timberlakes-mcdonalds-ads-are-unpopular/22901/(Rosenberg) Should Travis Scott Have Done a Deal w/ McDonald's?!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r9K5U74ZvM(Kimmel) Travis Scott on His McDonald's Meal & Michael Jordan's House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrelZQTxCiU(id Magazine) Travis Scott: “I want to make a new sound”: https://tinyurl.com/travidarticleCactus Jack Face: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/426434658471399650/TRAVIS SCOTT SURPRISING HIS FANS AT MCDONALDS [RECAP]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftcTAn2xw-sTravis Scott "You Know Why I'm Here" McDonald's Burger TikTok Compilation (Travy Patty, Cactus Jack): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuHef7Z93gQTRAVIS SCOTT'S MCDONALD'S MERCH IS RESELLING FOR RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS: https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/travis-scott-mcdonalds-merch/The McDonald's Merch Images: https://tinyurl.com/travmerchTravis Scott: Passion Behind “FRANCHISE” with Young Thug and M.I.A. | Apple Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woidcBaTz40Franchise cover art by George Condo: https://www.reddit.com/r/travisscott/comments/ixa79h/franchise_cover_art/Buy Capitalist Realism: https://tinyurl.com/buycaprealMark Fisher video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSvUqhZcbVg, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IXvaFCauLw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhOcwhwumP4

Well, this episode just became a whole lot more relevant after Travis Scott's Dior collab, not to mention the outfits Kanye is wearing at these Donda release parties... In this one I tell the stories of Supreme, of Kanye West's relationship with the luxury fashion industry (which, again, may be key to understanding elements of Donda), of his longtime collaborator Virgil Abloh, and of Travis Scott's entrance into these commercial markets. We cover drop culture, cop culture, and the ways in which Travis has employed these phenomena to his own artistic and financial ends. Basically all this is necessary to understand the hype around McDonalds merch drop, and to see how major artists and major brands have really started to blend over the past decades.Links you can follow to say hi/give me money/help me out/subscribe to things:Twitter: https://twitter.com/OneHandClappTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@onehandclapp?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCswS3h0iBw3QsoYMu8WoH8QPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/onehandclapHere are links from the episode itself: The Worlds Biggest Flexer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3RpK8N2QaY$45,000 Hypebeast Shopping Spree!!!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbGCAuA1sfYHow JAMES JEBBIA Became JAMES JEBBIA:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmz7YEHy_O8The Supreme Logo And Barbara Kruger: A History: https://tinyurl.com/barbkruger-supreme  Virgil Abloh: How Kanyes Apprentice Stole His Dream Job - Donda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hkl1Zvv80QKanye West X Louis Vuitton Shoes, Debut in Paris - Donda - Kanye Wests New Sneaker Collection!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c59ifR0PEkYA$ap Rocky cries after losing his Supreme cap in Dortmund - FZW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YcO34RFPVYSupreme | Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj | Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKl_Y3EA7Sc8oone: https://tinyurl.com/8oone8Roszko: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOXcIfqiSUd4J75guOKnogJacob Starr: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLGMbGctDDJ1_XRlcfMMCAQTrolling Hypebeast Awkward Interviews Prank at SneakerCon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v3GJ0hoPxYSUPREME BRICK REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3589O0xoxbQTravis Scott and Fortnite Present: Astronomical (Full Event Video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYeFAlVC8qUReeses Puffs: https://www.grailed.com/products/94262-travis-scott-reese-s-puffsIs Travis Scott Merch The New Supreme?: https://stockx.com/news/travis-scott-merch-new-supreme/

Hello. Welcome. This is the Travis Scott Burger Pod. Thank you for listening. If you like this first season, pretty please give it a five-star review on the Apple podcast app. I think that helps spread it around.  Thanks in advance. Love to all. This first episode provides a little background necessary to understanding what Travis has achieved so far in his career and how much he means to his dedicated fans. Topics include: the rise of Travis Scott, the meme phrase, "Travis Scott saved me life," his complicated relationship with his parents, his parasocial connection with Kid Cudi, his come-up alongside Tyler, The Creator and ASAP Rocky as aesthetically obsessed full-package artistes, and his relationship with Kanye West (Donda coming soon). Here we watch "Jacques become Scott," as Travis says, the dropout from the Houston suburbs exploding into a global superstar.   (FYI: Episodes 1 and 2 are both pre-burger, so if you already know everything about Travis Scott and Kanye and Supreme, feel free to jump to episodes 3 and 4.)
