Summary

21 Savage’s ad-libs were unexpectedly removed from the final release, sparking fan speculation online

Travis Scott has unveiled the official music video for the striking track “Kick Out,” which is featured on his newly released album “JACKBOYS 2.” This comes a day after he shared the visuals for his song “DUMBO.”

As a dedicated fan, I found it quite unexpected when Scott chose to exclude 21 Savage’s ad-libs from the final version of the song we all know and love. This decision was made after we heard the original at Coachella, where 21’s distinctive vocal touches were present. The reasoning behind this move has sparked plenty of conversation, with fans debating whether it was due to clearance issues, creative direction, or simply a focus on making La Flame’s performance more impactful as a solo artist. Regardless of the motivation, the result is a stripped-down version that emphasizes Travis Scott’s verses, allowing them to carry the weight of the production without any external influences.

In the video, you’ll spot a brief appearance by his daughter Stormi, hinting at his personal life without compromising his enigmatic style. Much like other songs of his, Travis Scott offers a dynamic, captivating rap performance, blending bold lyrics with suspenseful undertones.

In visual terms, “Kick Out” portrays two contrasting aspects of his life: tranquil family scenes intertwined with extravagant glimpses into nightlife and opulence. One instant he’s casting a line at a lake or cruising through the countryside, and in the next, he’s amidst club dancers. A quick scene also showcases a Tom Sachs artwork, a nod to his recent creative partnership with the artist under the Cactus Jack brand.

As a devotee, I find “Kick Out” resonating within the grittier, industrial, and intensely charged realm of Scott’s earlier masterpieces such as Rodeo and Utopia, sonically speaking. The robust, distorted basslines and ominous undertones mirrors the overall somber atmosphere of the project, aligning perfectly with my expectations.
