it’s kinda funny how I keep seeing this reouccuring theme in the genre. can ya’ll help me find more examples of rappers shouting out they uncles impact on they future rap life?

The Travis in Travis Scott comes from his uncle

Just wait till yall hear whose op’s uncle is

google who his uncle's uncle is

oh yea this was fire to find out about, need it mentioned in the music tho. did you know Travis Scott’s dad and uncle taught DJ Premier how to play the bass and to take music serious?

We call him Jack. Jack’s mom was my English teacher … he has a brother named Travis and he has a sister named Sonora — they’re literally across the street. As I got older, getting closer to almost junior high, we’d go over to the Websters’ house anyway because they had a VCR—they were the first ones I knew with a VCR—and they would tape Soul Train. And I’d be like, ‘Yo, I can watch Soul Train over and over and over.’” I’d go over there and Jack’s playing the drums, like killin’ it, And Travis was playin’ the bass, which is two of my influences when I make beats to this day, is my drums and my bass. And I was like, ‘Can you show me how to do that?’ Taught me how to play drumming gestures with his hands, started playing with them, jamming with them. Travis taught me how to play bass, started playing with them. Next thing you know, I’m now taking that seriously. Once I got to that point of learning it and mastering it, that’s when I started to apply that to what I do when it comes to music production, so yeah, it goes that far back.
