@LMAO and what statement is that? Why does he have to dress down or poor cause he’s in Africa and helping poor youth…that means Obama shouldn’t wear a suit or a nice shirt when he goes to war torn Iraq…Stop it your point isn’t valid at all.
I AM SICK OF THE EXPLOITATION OF AFRICAN CULTURE BY IGNORANT AMERICANS. UGH~!!!!
well good for him, he isn’t going through a divorce and doesn’t have a trail for beating a chick
but yet I bet people are still gonna find something to knock him on, they just love that.
Never really paid that much attention to Travis or GCH before but he is kinda cute…in a sweaty, grundged out sorta way….
Love Travis, this is mos def a good look!
I want those jeans!!
Travis is handsome!
Yall r dumb being in an uproar about topless girls. And no we dont walk around barefoot all the time, we actually dress up in our cultural wear on special events. You dont see chinese people wearing kimonos all the time right? Other than that, nice to see great support for the confed cup in South Africa, pity brazil beat USA today (added by Mobile using Mippin)
AAWW i LOVE HiM!!! THATS SWEET WHAT HES SPENDiN HiS TiME DOiN & USiN HiS CELEBRiTY WiSELY!!
i WONDER iF HES STiLL WiTH THAT NO TALENT KATY PERRY.. ?
I love Travis McCoy.
This is something great that hes doing.
Its sucks that people aren’t gonna leave alot of comments, compared to how many are left when it says something about ‘Rih Rih’ or Beyonce.
This man is doing something great for OUR people.
Hes also gonna release an awareness track about his trip there.
@4 & 8:
im totally feelin what you said.
@2:you dont know the gym class heroes?
hmnm..ooke..
well, he is dope.
(i like him, his music & his style.)
now, even doper!
EVEN THOUGH its kinda weird that he steps up with the newest js..look how the kid is skeemin on his feets.
idk bout that…
but i guess they used to be barefoot and dont know the meanin js got in ny or all over the states.
Aw, i think i love him now. And so what he has J’s on his feet? Its the intentions of him going that counts. This is great
now that’s awesome! i’d love to the same some day soon….
travis got some cool points from me. now when is the next gym class heroes album droppin?
im african i got to say that it is good that he’s doing what he’s doing as far as joining the HIV/AIDS fight but i dont like the way they exploit africans at all..first off they never show US in a good light , instead they choose to focus on the poor countries that and make it seem as though the whole continent of africa is poor!!! worst of all im tired of these phony infomercials on BET that exploit these kids!!!!
For this, he’s gained 10 respect points in my book.
@68–Proudly South African. Please do not call people dumb. Ignorant, yes. Naive, yes but not dumb. I think it’s ignorant that you wrote Chinese people wear Kimonos when in actually it is a Japanese tradition.
And Travis is a great U.S. Ambassador for the HIV/AIDS awareness in South Africa. But I’m going to have to agree with Hassandagreat that not many positives showcase Africa’s true beauty. There are many wealthy and gorgeous places in Africa. Can’t wait to visit.
You know JUDAH I didn’t want to believe what you’ve said about Mandela in previous posts, but my sister who’s currently in RSA just made me realize his prison number (which has been venerated btw) is 46664. If that doesn’t open someone’s eyes I don’t know what will. Numbers are everything to the elite, especially that number which was assigned to him during his sentence. It makes sense now as to why all the celebrities flock to go see him, Lord knows what type of rituals they’re engaging in. Oh and btw the girls in Oprah’s school are getting molested on the regular. The American media outlets just dont cover it.
He’s amazing for doing this and to the people who have an issue with the girls topless, its theyre culture leave them alone and travie is not bad for being there. Hes accepting it, i think it would have been an insult if had told them he couldnt because he of that. And with his tattoos, STFU, This has nothing to do with this goddamn tattoos. And for your info his Gauges (EARS) some african cultures find that acceptable and it seems fit for him being in Africa.
Ps. i love him and everything his does. GCHs will always be one of my favorite bands.
go travis
he is so sexxxy
i love his music
THIS IS A GOOD LOOK. WISH ALL PEOPLE WOULD STEP IT UP AND UPLIFT THE COMMUNITY.
Maannn why does everything that has to do with Africa have to feature nude kids doing tribal ish. Like really now, Im sitting here with and thinking …thats why theres a misconception that we live with lions as neighbours or some dumb story like that. Oh by the way the oictures are really good…the execution is really great.
Travis is doing a great thing and yet some still have to say something neagtive ! Be quiet alright. He can wear whatever he wants dang… I’m sure you seen a homeless person on the street b4 so everytime you go out are u going to (THiNK) & change your outfit…. NO !
#17 isnt that the whole point of culture people having different beliefs and systems???? It is their custom so asking them to cover up for your sake is insensitive . Why assume that covering up is norm there? It’s not Like Travis was salivating at the girls…geee now if it was R.Kelly going over there…then I would see the alarm.
is it cold there…. in the 1st pic the dudes have on jeans and jackets and the girls …. topless…. just an observation…..
that’s awesome…he’s a cutie to me despite all the tats…that hoodie is from AA i bought one in black for my sister…just sharing
