The track serves as an introduction for GloRilla, who boldly states her “only regret is being too young to f—k Matthew McConaughey.” This humorous and bold line underscores her confidence and charisma, although “Shyne” might be considered a less impactful contribution from La Flame on the album.

It’s time for Don Toliver to take center stage in “No Comments.” His smooth vocals, layered with a hint of AutoTune, urge listeners to “Turn off your comments,” providing a refreshing perspective on the pressures of social media. The track features an upbeat, twitchy beat with disco elements, courtesy of Jahaan Sweet, creating a dynamic soundscape.

In “Velour,” Sheck Wes and Don Toliver continue their strong collaboration, delivering a vibrant energy reminiscent of their past successes. This track highlights their chemistry as they celebrate their partners, with Wes rapping, “She break the rules, I pay the funds/ She got a Birkin, she wanted more.” This festive tribute to their significant others contrasts sharply with other artists like Tyler, the Creator, showcasing a different perspective on relationships within the hip-hop community.

The lead single, “2000 Excursion,” creatively links the nostalgia of a 2000 Ford Excursion with the present, 25 years later. Scott effectively sets the tone for the compilation with the visually captivating video that pairs with this track, showcasing not only his artistry but also allowing Sheck Wes and Don Toliver to shine.

This collaboration showcases Scott’s ability to seamlessly blend genres while highlighting his versatility as an artist. The smooth transitions throughout the album are evident here, especially as Tyla delivers a catchy line, “You want me back, don’t want ya/ You the yellow book, search my number.” This playful exchange adds a fresh dimension to the album and keeps listeners engaged.

Fans who witnessed Scott’s electrifying performance at Coachella were treated to an early taste of “Kick Out.” This track teases what’s to come in the JB era, and as always, Scott surprises his audience.

The album truly begins with “Champain & Vacay,” which offers a serene vibe interrupted by the energetic ad-libs of Waka Flocka Flame.

He reflects on experiences stepping into Louis Vuitton adorned with chains, deftly navigating the paparazzi while keeping his phone on DND. This provides listeners with a glimpse into the glamorous yet challenging life of Travis Scott in 2025.

Many fans speculated whether Scott would retaliate against Pusha T’s earlier diss in “So Be It.” In “Champain & Vacay,” he appears to respond directly, calling out “old heads” who have irritated him, swiftly delivering a rebuttal on track No. 2. He raps, “Man I sware these old n—s kill me/ Made a 100 off pushin tees/ Now my phone on DND,” suggesting a pointed jab at Push while maintaining his characteristic flair.
