Hours After Honoring Beyoncé 

<p>After a five-year hiatus post &#8216;Astroworld,&#8217; Travis Scott made a triumphant return with &#8216;Utopia.&#8217; A meteoric hit that not only dominated the Billboard Top 100 but also jolted <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> from hibernation, thanks to Scott&#8217;s seismic Rome concert. Amidst whispers of resemblance to &#8216;Yeezus,&#8217; &#8216;Utopia&#8217; arrived as a whirlwind of intrigue and anticipation.</p>
<p>This is not the first instance where Scott&#8217;s musical authenticity has been called into question. Rewind to 2015, and the rapper had a little extra flavor to sprinkle into the mix. An intriguing anecdote involving his stepdad and a league of other legends, like a hidden cheat code woven into his journey.</p>
<h2>The Travis Scott and Kanye West cheat code</h2>
<p>Scott finds himself fully immersed in the &#8216;Utopia&#8217; era. Surely, the guest appearances from the likes of Drake, The Weeknd, Beyoncé, Future, and others ignited a wildfire of musical brilliance. Yet, amidst the blaze, theories connecting its influence to Ye&#8217;s iconic &#8216;Yeezus&#8217; find their own unique explanations. These threads lead us back to 2015 when &#8216;Rodeo&#8217; bore the imprints of its guest collaborators. In a candid moment, the <strong>Houston rapper unveiled a secret &#8220;cheat code&#8221; that seemingly shapes his musical journey</strong>.</p>

<p>As &#8216;Rodeo&#8217; claimed the rap album chart&#8217;s throne, Scott faced questions about its creative influences.<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/features/travis-scott-rodeo-rihanna-kanye-west-justin-bieber-6700345/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> In a candid Billboard interview, Scott dismissed and clarified,</a> <em>&#8220;No, man! I worked on this album by myself.&#8221;</em> Defying critics&#8217; grasp, he attributed comparisons to his high-profile connections, but <strong>he likened this to a crafty cheat code, setting his work apart</strong>. To add flair, Scott revealed he had shared a sneak peek of the album with Ye and TI before its official release.</p>

<p>However, the parallels drawn between &#8216;Utopia&#8217; and &#8216;Yeezus&#8217; are not mere whims—they spring from a sturdy foundation of similarities.</p>
<h2>Utopia vis-à-vis Yeezus</h2>
<p>Within the intricate fabric of &#8216;Utopia,&#8217; the echoes of Ye&#8217;s revolutionary album, &#8216;Yeezus,&#8217; reverberate purposefully. Scott&#8217;s artistic footprint left an indelible mark on &#8216;Yeezus&#8217;—tracks like &#8216;New Slaves,&#8217; &#8216;Guilt Trip,&#8217; and &#8216;I Am God&#8217;. <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-kanye-west-credited-on-four-utopia-songs-but-fans-feel-something-is-missing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A similar fusion is revisited in &#8216;Utopia.&#8217;</a> The homage extends beyond production, as &#8216;Utopia&#8217;s&#8217; rhythms resonate with Ye&#8217;s cadence and style.</p>

This &#8216;Utopia&#8217;-&#8216;Yeezus&#8217; connection stretches into the past, as insights from a Twitter account hinted that &#8216;Utopia&#8217; tracks might stem from earlier Ye sessions. In &#8216;Modern Jam,&#8217; the third track, it is reported that a revisited beat emerges. It is one co-crafted by Ye and Mike Dean for an early version of &#8216;I Am A God.&#8217;</p>
