Travis Scott Praises Tame Impala’s New Album Deadbeat, Highlighting Their Longstanding Musical Bond
Travis Scott has once again shown his admiration for Tame Impala, celebrating Kevin Parker’s latest project, Deadbeat. Known for merging psychedelic sounds with modern hip-hop, both artists have consistently expressed mutual respect for each other’s work.
The Houston rapper shared his thoughts on Instagram Story, calling Deadbeat “the best album to come out in the last 2 years.” He added, “Like super crazy. Like bruh. Imma gonna call u soon cause I just need to know something bruhhhhhh. EVERYONE LISTEN, BUY, PLAY AND LIVE TO THIS.” His enthusiastic endorsement signals how deeply he values Parker’s artistry.
This is not the first intersection of their talents. In 2018, Travis Scott and Tame Impala collaborated on the ASTROWORLD track “SKELETONS,” alongside Pharrell and The Weeknd. The song was initially intended for Kanye West but ultimately became part of Travis Scott’s celebrated album.
Deadbeat marks Tame Impala’s fifth studio album, and Scott’s praise is notable given that he also released JACKBOYS 2 within the same timeframe. His comments highlight that his admiration is rooted in genuine appreciation rather than competition.
Kevin Parker has also publicly acknowledged Travis Scott’s influence. In an interview with Zane Lowe, Parker cited Scott as inspiration for his 2020 album The Slow Rush. He praised Scott’s conviction and creative confidence, emphasizing the importance of decisiveness in producing innovative music.
Fans of both artists now anticipate whether they will reunite for another collaboration. Given their shared aesthetic of blending psychedelic textures with mainstream appeal, any future joint project could be highly anticipated and influential.
The continued exchange of respect between Travis Scott and Tame Impala underscores the evolving relationship between hip-hop and psychedelic rock, demonstrating how artists from different genres can inspire and elevate each other.
