Travis Scott‘s SNL gig this weekend included performances of “My Eyes,” “Fe!n” featuring Playboi Carti and new song “We Got Too High” — with Please Don’t Destroy and Ramy Youssef.
The Houston rapper brought a taste of Utopia to the Saturday Night Live stage with the two album tracks for the March 30 episode of the NBC late-night sketch comedy show. Before the show aired, Scott premiered a music video for “Fe!n” on YouTube.
But he regretted partying with the Please Don’t Destroy guys (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy) and Poor Things actor Ramy Youssef during “We Got Too High.”
The tune for their night out started out typical enough: “On our way to the function/ We smokin’ blunts and/ Feeling so alive/ All the honeys lookin’ scrumptious.”
But things turned sour: “I think we got too high/ Smoked too much and I got scared/ Haven’t smoked since high school/ This is not fun/ If I close my eyes, am I still like, here?/ Am I standing normal?/ Where is Ramy?”
Youssef, hosting SNL, was not partaking in the same party activity as everyone else, but was he was not fine. He got lost in his own anxiety at the club and probably had the worst time of all. Feeling out of place, he agonized over something stupid he’d said earlier in the evening: “We’re gonna have a twisted, rockin’ ball.” Relatable.
“Man, why’d I bring them?” Scott wondered. “They’re actin’ crazy/ And why is that guy being held like a baby?”
