Travis Scott (rapper) → Travis Scott (musician) – The artist is known for being both a rapper and producer. The current title "Travis Scott (rapper)" covers only half of the roles he is notable for. Per WP:NC-Consistency: common naming for artists, who are both rappers and producers is "Name (musician)", which is used on pages such as Evidence (musician), Havoc (musician), Q-Tip (musician), Oh No (musician), Alias (musician), among others. 2Flows (talk) 19:05, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

• Support As he is just as well known as a producer as a rapper. Follows the consistency already used. STATic

• Support not convinced producer is evidence of being a musician, but musician is still probably more encyclopedic. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

• We are not talking about executive producers that oversee music, we are talking about literal record production with instruments and software. STATic message me! 22:35, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
• To be specific, we're talking about hip hop production, where the producer is the one creating the instrumental for the song. 2Flows (talk) 22:46, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

• Travis Scott (musician) → Travis Scott
• Travis Scott → Travis Scott (disambiguation)

– There should not be a dab page when only two articles have this name and when only one of them (musician) is very successful. The other potential meaning is a man who played in only one NHL game. So the musician meets both criteria laid out at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as he is much more likely than the hockey player to be viewed and gets more page views.

Semi-protected edit request on 8 May 2017

Career Beginnings and 2016-2017 is inaccurate and outdated.

"The following year, both Scott and Holloway formed with OG Chess, and formed a group, entitled The Classmates. The Classmates released two projects with Buddy Rich in 2009 and Cruis'n USA in 2010.[6] Scott mainly handled production work on both projects. Later in the year, personal conflicts and financial disputes lead to the disbanding of the group. After Scott left college, Scott moved from Houston, Texas to Washington, New York, where Scott began work with friend Mike Waxx, who owned the music website Illroots. "

The classmates only consisted of Travis and OG Chess, Holloway was exempt from musical relationships with Travis after The Graduates ended. Buddy Rich was only Travis, OG Chess and also Spuf Don. Cruisin USA was only Travis and Jason. Also Chess and Travis did not separate in 2010, they separated in 2012. Scott did not leave college, he dropped out of college and used those funds to move to New York. . Should also include he signed with TI's label and had a meeting with Kanye after contacting his engineer, which led to him signing to GOOD Music as a producer.

Moving on:

"On January 26, 2017, Scott was back in the music headlines after featuring in Migos's hit album Culture, appearing in the song Kelly Price. That same day, Scott announced via Instagram that he was collaborating on a new clothing line with New York-based fashion brand Helmut Lang. This is not Scott's first time in the fashion industry but appears to be only a side project to his music. Scott was spotted back in the studio the day after he announced his new line and is also preparing to go on a tour called Birds Eye View from early June to late August 2017. He performed at All-Star Weekend on February 16, 2017 in New Orleans at Champion Square.[26] According to World Star Hip Hop, Scott has been working on a collaboration album with rapper Quavo of Migos, potentially to be released later in 2017. Scott also performed at New Orleans BUKU Music + Art Project festival on March 10, 2017. In addition to the collaboration album, Scott announced to his fans his third studio album, AstroWorld, named after the defunct Houston theme park AstroWorld, is nearing completion and will most likely be released in 2017.[27] Scott has also been featured on a track from Drake's project "More Life" titled "Portland". The song peaked at number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his highest charting song as a lead artist.[28]"

Fashion information is irrelevant and appears outdated as it happened over 3 months ago. "This is not Scott's first time in the fashion industry but appears to be only a side project to his music. Scott was spotted back in the studio the day after he announced his new line and is also preparing to go on a tour called Birds Eye View from early June to late August 2017. " This is an outdated sentence still in the present tense. His performances at New Orleans Music Festival doesn't have enough importance to be here.

Scott was featured on a track by Drake's project "More Life" titled "Portland". The song peaked at number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his highest charting song as a lead artist.[28]" should be the correct form of this sentence. Whoever edited the page should not be allowed to edit again unless they provide a source.

"Announced"

Travis Scott's Occupation

Would it be preferred that Singer would be the primary occupation rather than Rapper, since he insisted to be called a singer? There's been ongoing edits and reverts that dispute singer and rapper, and would want this resolved. † MunRis † 16:27, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Growing up

He grew up in Missouri City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston. Scott stayed with his grandmother "in the hood" from ages one to six, but later moved to the suburbs,. . .

So, did young Mr. Scott grow up in the hood or in the suburbs? Assuming that the hood was not the middle class suburb. Confusing. Avocats (talk) 22:26, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Middle name and Generation of birth

As listed on a recent released birth certificate of his daughter, it lists his full name of Jacques Bermon Webster II.

The article claims he has sold over 120 million records. There is literally no substantiation for this anywhere on the internet or in the article, and he is not mentioned in the article of best-selling in the sentence. In other words, There are no sources to back up this claim. Considering his three albums have sold less than 10 million records combined, I find the chances astronomically low that his singles have carried him for 110 million sales.
