Counted among one of the greatest rappers of all time, Kanye West has emerged as the Hercules of rap. An average Ye track consists of two carefully curated hits on the flaws of the system, an encouragement to touch the sky, and one para at the least about his godly caliber. But is it really a Kanye West track if he has not talked about his ex-wife? A dive into his prodigy, Travis Scott’s album, ‘Utopia’ proves affirmative.

Kanye West and Travis Scott regularly feed the narrative that they are the Mozart and Beethoven of the rap industry. But how tied the duo is at the hip is a testimony that one should hear from the Kardashians.

With the release of ‘Utopia’ on the 28th of July, devoted listeners have ensued a search and seizure of his album owing to its resemblance to Ye’s style. But an overwhelming majority is of the belief that there is beauty in the way Travis Scott has woven his mentor in the new album. And this beauty peaks in his track ‘MY EYES’ as he borrows the Shakespeare flesh from Kanye West to write, “All of that green and yellow, that drip from your eyes is tellin” about Kylie Jenner.

While Travis Scott is not exactly cutting the red ribbon by bringing attention to the bodily attributes of the Kardashians, his lyrics about the Kylie Cosmetics owner hold a lot of weight. Conveniently, this sweet memory of her green and yellow eyes is a part of an interview the couple gave to GQ in 2018 before breaking up.

By mentioning an ex-lover while being in a relationship, Travis Scott has bought the title of Mozart to Ye’s Beethoven once and for all, but his gentle reminiscence of Jenners’ eyes is a far cry from Ye’s unabashed recollection of his relationship with Kim Kardashian being the “best collab since Taco Bell and KFC.”

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were in a relationship for eight years. While the public associated with them profound adjectives such as “Blockbuster couple” and “Mommy and Daddy“, West took home the trophy by creating a parallel with the most popular fast-food chains. Something that would definitely horrify Kim Kardashian. But this was the good part.

The days that followed his divorce from the SKIMS owner struck a chord with the time he disguised a ball of fire in a chart-topping song when he wrote “I made that b*tch famous” about Taylor Swift. Perhaps Travis Scott might unleash that level of creativity in his next album.
