Even with more people actually dying though, most people won't see videos like this so for the most part I bet a lot of fans still think he stopped the show and he did nothing wrong.

Some fans described the crowd moving as on because everyone was packed in so tight, they couldn't even fill their lungs. Fear that their ankles were going to break or that they would get trampled if they fell. Bodies pushing together so tightly that you couldnt catch your breath. People screaming for help getting out or that they cant breathe. The crowd was pushing toward the stage and the closer to the front you were, the worse it got. I had a similar experience before at a concert to see Tyler the Creator. However, the crowd was only a fraction of the size and we were not held in by barricades. Also, security was able to pull out fans that wanted taken from the front of the crowd. Tyler had taken time for everyone to calm down and spread out or leave the crowd. Travis didn't even do that with an ambulance in his crowd.

Everything Ross said in this video was true. Of course he threw in his personal opinion, that's how his channel works. But the story he delivered was facts exactly as they are, which to any reasonable person would paint Travis Scott as a total narcissistic piece of shit. If that bothers you, I'm sure there are plenty of echo chambers you can go be a part of where everyone pretends none of this is his fault. Why not go there?

@@ceetee110 Travis Scott is far from my favorite celebrity and I don’t even listen to his music lmaoo 🤣 my only point was that this isn’t journalism. You’re correct he did speak a lot of facts in this video and Travis is to blame (along with a bunch of other people that are failed to be mentioned). But none of that makes him anything more than a hip hop reporter, not a journalist. And fyi this video was actually not 100% all factual. There’s several times he’s assuming Travis heard something, felt something, was told something, or knew something that nobody can prove but Travis himself but of course y’all not gonna acknowledge that cause it doesn’t fit the narrative. That being said I do agree 10000% Travis is at fault but he shouldn’t be the only person getting bashed and called out of his name only because he’s the face.

[@ceetee110]

@@LSUDemon So YOUR personal definition of journalism is reporting and documenting that is purely objective? Where do you see that? ALL journalism is spun in some way, whether it be subtly or blatantly. Ross definitely spoke from a place of emotion for a lot of this video, and there was quite a bit of conjecture. But there were also plenty of just straight up facts. Your original comment said that this wasn't journalism, but I would argue that it totally is... Just not objective journalism, which again I struggle to think of any that is truly objective. But as far as your reply to OP, I have to agree. To say that this isn't spun is ridiculous. But I also think that Ross's brand is one of comedy and personality, and his journalism wouldn't be what it is without that.

It takes a lot more than one person to plan, prepare and run a festival. If you were the Houston chief of police and you know Travis Scott’s festivals are always crazy and have had people injured in the past and you have to assign your own police officers to be at his concert would you not go through the necessary steps to make sure it’s gonna be safe ? Or if you’re the person in charge of the venue that Travis is renting out for the concert wouldn’t you go through the necessary steps to make sure it’s gonna be safe ?

There's no evidence of the man in the tree being there to "escape" the crowd. No evidence that Travis knew it was a mass casualty event, but continued to play anyway, only Live Nation knew so how is it Travis's fault. We don't know what Travis did and didn't see, but he makes assumptions that becuase Travis was able to see some things he could see everything, even tho it's a crowd of 50k people and he's performing.

Astroworld aside, stopping his show and telling people to beat up a minor over a shoe, dragging an injured man on stage and giving him a ring…He also saw a unconscious/dead person be crowd surfed out and he was told there were safety risks before hand. The promo material for astroworld that was taken down had video of people breaking the barriers down the morning of the festival. He was enjoying the hype.

[@possiblyarealcat]

I've gone to so many concerts and festivals from kpop to rap to metal. Whether lights were on the audience or not, the performers always took time in between songs to connect with their audience and even chat with them to show appreciation and acknowledgement. Travis saw an emergency vehicle and didn't care to check on the emergency with his fans who came to support him. And when those two management looking dudes came to him onstage, he wasn't interested in what happened to anyone. The people that were in charge of audio and lighting, should have turned on all the lights to assist the audience and stopped the music from the speakers. There are so many precautions that were ignored (idk by who) and the people on stage completely ignore the red flags when people were suffering. Before the show even started, security was breached and barricades were broken. The show should've been canceled way before anyone even took the stage... but the companies that would have lost millions of dollars couldn't put the safety of the fans and staff first.

I agree & I love Drake's music too. of course, while I don't think Drake's even nearly as responsible for the tragedy that occurred, he still had an opportunity to cease what he could & help spare as many injuries as late as his set was. I also think that he probably shouldn't be specifically named in the lawsuit bc he wasn't onstage for longer than a few songs' worth of time. & I find it dubious that someone had informed him if he came out & KNOWINGLY rubbed salt in the cataclysmic wound with phrases like "savor this moment in" & "this is historic right here." but.... I definitely understand that this was preventable COMPLETELY so holding every marquee name at fault will guarantee that this much inciting & evoking should never happen again. I still like their music, but Travis has shown himself to be so egotistical that he lets his own fans become paralyzed at his whim, & then he dodges culpability AS SOON AS he can if the result doesn't reflect kindly. nigga let people get injured numerous times for the "vibe." foh, that's worse than a cult if you subject them to self-endangerment

I just left this exact comment. And it's really egregious because they are hijacking a culture that he does not have the passion to even understand. Going to a show in exchanging energy with people, connecting with people is cathartic. It's not violent. Music bonds you within the chaos. I've been to so many punk and metal shows and have never been hurt. No one ever lets anyone fall, no one is violent, we use a little bit of pain to get through pain and chaos together. The shallow, vapid garbage that he promotes is nothing but fake edginess. He thinks the more hardcore that the crowd gets, that it'll make him hardcore. When it's very clear that he doesn't understand anything about the culture and it's purpose. It makes me so angry that people died for nothing

Not trying to take cheap shots. If you fell SEVERAL people helped. Its more like a shared energy. People typically dont drag people in the pit as they merely sort of get in ones way because people arent trying to trample over anyone. It is about the communal exchange of energy. People very rarely died and if ever there was even so much of a singular incident that was noticeable let alone a MASS ASSAULT music would be stopped. Im telling you because I grew up in this scene.

The fact he encouraged wreckless behaviour in the crowd in 2015 explains how this occurred. He unfortunately failed to learn from his previous mistakes, most likely out of ignorance, and is now directly responsible for 10 deaths and countless traumatic experiences. Big props to this video Ross, the content was handled and communicated in the best way possible.

Case in point it's a culture of celebrity worship, a culture of mindless self indulgence that is truly at fault. Travis and the event organizers indeed do need to be accountable as well. The fact of the matter is though that these types of of things happen at giant events quite too often because PEOPLE can't control themselves. It is far too many individuals acting as such and narcissistically disregarding the mere thought of consideration for others around them. Unfortunately shit like this will keep happening if things don't change.

[@blazzuris7219]

I’m glad that other artists who actually care about their fans were able to take this to heart though, for example I went to Grey Day 2021 when it was in my city which was after Astroworld and the $uicideboy$ were super serious about crowd safety stopping multiple times to tell people to back up and help others. Also the mosh pit at the $uicideboy$ felt like what I hear a lot of punk/metal shows are which makes sense cause I think they draw their audience not just from rap but their punk/metal aspects

Many fans didn't know the stuff he did at past concerts nor things he said, but now all that stuff is coming to light and it looks BAD. Honestly, I love his music, but it doesn't feel the same to play his music like it did before this. I keep envisioning this tragedy.

I always hated this pseudo punk attitude with hyper capitalist ideals - artists just like Travis Scott. Everything about them and what they say they represent seems so conflicting. Even at the most hardcore punk shows or raves (or basically any other event with poor infrastructure and big, crazy crowds), the artists ALWAYS stop the show at the slightest sign of violence or trouble.

@@fnwboosa maybe I'm trippin but are you mad at Ross for making a living doing, ya know, his job? He's a social commentator that specializes in hip-hop news. He is a legitimate source, not only for entertainment but for getting actual facts that he and his team clearly do research to provide. If this would have been HIS event that had killed people and he wanted to come on here to make a statement about it and then also kept ads on to make money knowing full well he'd have massive traffic, therefore huge ad revenue then yes, absolutely reprehensible. This, however, is clearly not the case. He has enough subscribers and views per month that I would venture to guess that this might very well be his full time job. Therefore, although tragic, the story needs to be brought to light and the facts be given to the public by those that are supposed to report on it. He is merely doing his job my guy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having ads on this video. Though, if you still truely feel like it is a problem then maybe check first to see if he may be donating the proceeds of this video to the victims and families of the deceased before calling him a "clown" for doing his job. Don't forget, YOU clicked on HIS video. Lastly, do you also keep this same energy when you watch your go-to news source (i.e. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, FOX NEWS, ect.)? To you, they should also not be allowed to have commercials to pay foe the time and effort it takes to research data, film, edit, and air it?
