It is no secret that “goosebumps” by Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar is one of the tracks that defined the 2010s. Since its release on Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight in 2016, it has become a certified hit, reaching 8x platinum status. With over 2.2 billion plays on Spotify, it remains one of Travis’ top-streamed songs even after nearly eight years. However, what if we told you that “goosebumps” was almost ScHoolboy Q’s song?
In a recent interview with BACKONFIGG, the BLUE LIPS creator revealed that he regrets not being able to make something of the Cardo beat. According to AllHipHop, ScHoolboy Q mentioned that he had received every Cardo beat that is out there right now. “Every Cardo beat you’ve heard, I had it,” he told the interviewers. Despite this missed opportunity, ScHoolboy Q holds no hard feelings about it. “Every time me and Travis see each other, we always laugh about it.”
Although “goosebumps” became a massive hit with Kendrick Lamar’s name attached to it, ScHoolboy Q and Cardo have collaborated on several fire tracks together. Some notable collaborations include “THat Part,” “Floating,” “good day,” and more recently, “Yeern 101,” “oHio,” and “First.” It is evident that Cardo and Q have a strong musical connection, regardless of the missed opportunity with “goosebumps.”
Travis Scott and ScHoolboy Q also share a mutual respect for each other’s artistry. They have collaborated on Scott’s deluxe Rodeo cut “Ok Alright” and on CrasH Talk’s “CHopstix.” These collaborations demonstrate the chemistry between the two superstars and their ability to create memorable music together.
ScHoolboy Q’s revelation about his regret not being able to make something with Travis Scott’s “goosebumps” beat raises some interesting questions. Would the song have been as popular with Q’s name attached to it? It’s difficult to say for sure. While ScHoolboy Q has his own unique style and fan base, “goosebumps” became a massive hit largely due to the combination of Travis Scott’s melodic flow and Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical prowess.
However, it is worth considering the impact that ScHoolboy Q’s presence could have had on the song. His distinctive voice and delivery could have added a different flavor to the track, potentially attracting a different audience. Music is subjective, and the success of a song depends on various factors, including personal taste and timing.
As for whether the song is still in rotation, “goosebumps” continues to be a popular choice for many listeners. Its catchy hook, atmospheric production, and the chemistry between Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar make it a timeless track that resonates with fans of both artists. While it’s intriguing to imagine ScHoolboy Q’s take on the beat, there’s no denying the impact and staying power of the version we know today.
