Travis Scott, real name Jacques Webster, is arguably one of the best artists of our generation. With grammy nominations, a shoe deal with Nike, and dating a billionaire he still somehow is able to avoid both controversies and scandals, making the Huston born rapper a great role model. When “Look Mom I Can Fly”, a documentary about the Cactus Jack from Netflix was announced, I was very excited to get an inside look at this big name.
The documentary starts off with amazing coverage of Travis Scott's concerts, capturing the amazing energy the rapper brings and amping up the viewers, heck even I got goosebumps just by watching it. The first half of the documentary continues by following Travis on his Birds Eye View tour. I found this disappointing because it would've been great to see more of the Rodeo era Travis. This decision is understandable since Travis wasn't as big as he was then.
The directors skipped over Huncho Jack, (the collab album between Him and Quavo) again taking into consideration the album was not very successful and is not a very big moment in the artist’s career. Would've been nice to see their chemistry though.
The film then briefly moves to Travis’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, her journey through,pregnancy, and the birth of their child. We also see both of Travis scott's parents. This is a refresher to the fans, since we rarely see them because the Jenners take more of the spotlight.
The documentary then takes us to “album mode” showing the process and inspiration of Travis’s hit album Astroworld. Astroworld was also an amusement park (located in Houston) that Travis loved going to when he was younger. He explains that he wanted the album to feel like the listener was on a roller coaster. We get to see how almost every song was made and produced, including first reactions to the songs on the album. These were by far some of my favorite scenes.
Post release of the album we see a brief overview of the Astroworld festival hosted by the artist and taken place right next to were the amusement park once was.
The documentary ends with Travis Scotts’s accomplishments, for example, playing at the super bowl, celebrating his daughter's birthday, and his grammy nominations, which he sadly got snubbed for all three.
Overall the documentary was a great inside look of the growth of Jacques Webster, the Houston native that loves to rage.
