This week, the LA Weekly published a feature interview with Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator and longtime OF reporter Jeff Weiss. Within the three-page piece, Tyler was asked about the success he has experienced since early 2010, when the group and their front-man garnered celebrity.
“Even if I’m at the Grammy [Awards], I feel like I’m an outsider,” said the 22 year-old Tyler, who is about to release Wolf next Tuesday (April 2). “I don’t really think about shit until someone brings it up. I can’t explain how it is. I’m not lonely, I just don’t have anyone to relate to.” With his boutique, advertising ventures and Loiter Squad show, which was taping during much of the interview, Tyler pointed back to who he was before the opportunities. “I’m the same dude. I’m still regular. This shirt must’ve been washed a hundred times.”
Tyler compares Wolf, his second studio album as a solo artist to his 2009 free project, Bastard. “I was pissed, and then life kinda started getting good. But Wolf is emotional. It’s bright and dark. I brag about having a four-story house but being lonely.” Now with a Range Rover and an actual four-story house, Tyler says the greatest luxury in his new income bracket, the fact that he can now “walk into Amoeba [Records] and buy anything I want.”

he gettin’ paid so he’s good. you got money you can buy everything
^ not everything…money doesn’t buy happiness…
Him and his crew tries so hard to be funny but they’re not
they can be pretty funny
i just saw a video he did for his show of his alter ego Young Nigga called ‘She wont a Young Nigga’ clowning most of these new rappers
Gotta be the unfunniest rapper ever
I heard Tyler The Creator was anally violated at a local park after dark.. he was assraped pretty badly by a bunch of gays.
Its a true story too i heard it from the rape gang
you got niggas that broke and they more happier and you DAMN Love your music though
wack… I’m 17 and make fun of a few idiots I know that listen to this dummy and odd future.. they try too hard and their music is horrible. I jam to A Tribe Called Quest instead 🙂
you are so cool. My hero.
u want a fucking medal, jonny??? its been proved by science that odd future is great. also, people can listen to odd future AND a tribe called quest so suck a d!
How the fuck are you going to accuse someone of being a tryhard, and then same some textbook tryhard shit like “I jam to A Tribe Called Quest instead”? I hope puberty kicks in soon, young negro.
Everyone of you that responded to the OP are upset because you guys found out that not everyone has the same opinion as y’all.
I want to grab this nigga by the neck, and slam his head against the wall repeatedly. I just want to hurt this nigga. BAD. The word hater gets thrown a lot in hip-hop. To me, a hater is a jealous nigga. Jealous over whatever he envies about another nigga. Tyler, I just don’t like this nigga. I don’t like how he puts himself out there, I don’t like his blatant disrespect of Jesus Christ. I just do not like this nigga. I want to seriously hurt him. Like a muthafucka. This nigga is like nails on a chalk board to me. A fuckin’ tick.
i feel the exact same way as you do real talk though.. fuk dat nigga.. and wen u got the timeplease listen i appreciate everybodys opinon on my music…. http://www.datpiff.com/LENNY-BLANCO-Man-Of-My-Word-mixtape.465879.html
How about just ignore him then?? You took the time to click on an article and write a whole paragraph about how much you hate him… like you even know him personally..
I’m sure Jesus Christ wouldn’t like you inflicting pain on someone and cursing, also. Hypocrite
BIGHOSTFACE is that you?
@pl0x29 – You sho’ right, Jesus wouldn’t like me doing that. But hey, we all got sins we must confess (not on that catholic stuff neither). It would be an honor to me, to ask for forgiveness after whoppin’ this kids ass.
And too. I hate when ya’ll bitch made niggaz get on here and be like, why you click the article? Why you gotta comment on a nigga you don’t like? But it’s koo for this dude too put out music disrespecting the way he do, on a mass level. But God forbid somebody respond to this muthafucka in whatever way he can. I hope this nigga read this shit. There’s niggaz out here gunnin’ for you, lil nigga. Remember that.
ya, hes not gonna read this shit. get the fuck outta here.
Fuck you too nigga
As a grown man, one day you will have to take responsibility for the way you unleash your tongue. There is power in words, and this lil nigga done cross the line. I look past it the first few times, but now the nigga gotta see some kind of retribution. If not at my hands, then at the hands of another muthafucka. And thats the truth. I don’t even know why I’m tryin’ to explain myself to ya’ll next generation of hip-hop fans. Ya’ll bitch ass nigga ain’t got no sense of honor or dignity.
You’re upset at the fact that he disrespects J.C, but at the same time you are talking about wanting to do him bodily harm?
@777,
You got beef with Tyler? Why?
God isn’t real. Next.
>another mad ass old nigga
>I wonder what he’s complaining about?
>disrespecting Jesus Ch–
OH NO! It’s a Thefuckouttaheresaurus Rex! Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!
@Tripleseven: CAN’T YOU JUST IGNORE HIM AND BE POSITIVE ABOUT YOUR LIFE???

step your marketing game up bruhh bruhh. you know the small amount of people that are gonna take the time to copy and paste that link? plus your on an article about another rapper. Its just not a cool thing to do. Your name being Lenny Banco makes me not want to give you a chance by the way. Not being an asshole, just keeping it real with you.
instrumentals http://www.datpiff.com/mixtapes-detail.php?id=470051
Im not tryna here that I feel lonely bullshit. bruhh. You have 12 friends or however many niggas are in OF. whole time theres like another 20 random people that are in OF that arnt famous that are just hipsters/skaters in Cali. This nigga has hundreds o friends. Your traveling and seeing the world at a young age. Your rich. You have hundreds of thousands of sexy hipster girls you can sleep with on a whim. THIS NIGGAS UN-GRATEFUL AS FUCK.
you’re so retarded. He explained that he can’t relate to anybody
Your instantly believing him and not looking at the situation hes in and forming your own conclusions. You think its logical that there is not a single person around him he can relate too when ALL of his closest friends that dress the same, act the same and are in the exact same position as him? You think living in L.A. with all the 100,000’s of alternative personality types he cant relate too Anyone?, What did he go through that was so different and hardcore he cant relate too anyone? His father leaving him cus lord knows that’s rare right? Or is it more likely the fans he caters too feel like outcast/dont like mainstream/ Are all about rebelling againt the man and ect. So what would it make sense for him to portray himself as?, too not distance himself from his fans too much? THINK AND USE YOUR MIND, OR JUST BELIEVE EVERYTHING SOMEONE SAYS BASED OF THE FACT YOU LIKE THEIR MUSIC ITS YOUR LIFE BRUHH. fuckin 90s babies man……….
@anon you just got ethered damn.
^^I know right?? Jeezus I almost feel bad for Anonymous.
this dude seems really down to earth, but I’m not feeling his music too tuff. Power to him though
goblin was better
This dude is played out.
his new album is dope. dont care for his personality thhough. He trys too hard.
ok im going to be honest here, im 25 im a real lover of hip hop/rap, im from europe (ireland) ive listened to some really bad stuff over the years but NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS GUY, IM SORRY BUT TYLER CANNOT RAP, HE HAS NOT FLOW. THE GUY IS JUST SO BORING, I MEAN I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW HOW HE GETS ANY RECOGNITION FOR HIS WORK- LISTENING TO THIS MAN IS LIKE GETTING TEETH PULLED “SERIOUSLY” I JUST DONT GET IT
TYLER IS NOT RAP ITS LIKE BROKEN MONKEY ABC STUFF
not the greatest rapper, but he also produces a lot of his own shit and directs his own video (probably better than he does at rapping) and is the leader of the same group that frank ocean & earl are in (who are prolly both legend bound)
im 28 and been listening to hiphop since i was 7 or 8 and i fucks with some of his music. his production is usually on point.
I thought Tyler was played out and done too, but his new album is really good. Still some outrageous shit, but a lot of deep songs and good stories. Way better than Goblin imo
