Tyler, The Creator has seemingly caught wind of DJ Khaled’s recent tirade regarding album sales.
Khaled was reportedly upset Father Of Asahd failed to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. In a since-deleted video, the veteran producer was visibly heated after learning the Odd Future alum’s IGOR landed in the coveted spot.
During Khaled’s rant, he seemed to insinuate nobody listened to Tyler’s “mysterious” album.
“I make albums so people can play it,” he said. “And you actually hear it. You know, driving your car you hear another car playing it. Go to the barber shop, you hear them playing it. You know, turn the radio on, and you hear them playing it. It’s playing everywhere – it’s called great music.
“It’s called albums that you actually hear the songs. Not no mysterious shit, and you never hear it.”
Later, a fan chimed in on the video and wrote, “wow doin pretty good for some ‘mysterious shit,'” to which Tyler replied, “yeah i am, IGOR OUT NOW.”
But that wasn’t all. Tyler took a few more subtle jabs at Khaled’s comments on a post from DJ Akademiks.
Aks was taking a poll on who had the better album — Tyler or Khaled. The eccentric rapper answered, “who tf listens to tyler the creator?” and followed up with, “HIS MSG SHOW SOLD OUT BUT FR I HAVE NEVER HEARD A TYLER SONG IN MY LIFE.”
It’s safe to say Tyler is floating on the undeniable success of IGOR — his first No. 1 album — and taking Khaled’s perceived frustrations all in stride.
Tyler’s IGOR Tour kicks off in Seattle at the Bumbershoot Festival on August 30.
F Khaled. IGOR is classic
Quit dissing Khaled! Who cares?
Bruh, don’t respond to them then.
Both albums are ass
Does Khaled actually produce his records now?
I still got no fuckin’ respect to Tyler. Igor must be the one since Goblin, Bastard and Cherry Bomb. That’s bullish to me, just because I love DJ Khaled.
both garbage albums. Don’t know what the fuss is all about! Unfourtanatley this is where his hop is at!
Remember what happened to 50’s music career when he tried to square up with Ye over album sales. It’s clear to the listeners who the superior ARTISTS are.
Do people still listen to Khaled? He was hot back in like ’06-’09. Not dissing, I’m seriously didn’t know he was still making hits, if he actually is. Before him there were like 2 DJs to have successful careers releasing compilations, Clue and Flex, and they were only really making hits for two years each. He should be glad that he had so many hits over such a long period.
You must do not listen to the radio for you to say. Is he still making music. 06 09 he wasn’t HOT. He was dealing with a situation he was in with Birdman. So yes he is CURRENT not old. Google has all his info.
IGOR was straight trash…this shows that the quality of music has dropped drastically
i mean this imbecile thinks he makes great music. what a narcissist lmao
What you think is more weird. The fact he thinks the music is great or the fact that he thinks he is actually making the music??
Can’t say there’s any artist who’s popular on Twitter who I like at the moment. When guys like Khaled and Tyler are points of interest it goes to show the degradation in quality we’ve come to expect in hip-hop.
The Terror squad is always alive on arrival. These new rappers dont understand the path was laid for them. Dont know anything about the long hard days and nights of hard work . Feeling for a sound a beat a real hook. Respect the Game or the Game will handle you
These fake ass men want to be girl in the rap game. You look stupid . How can I hear your message in a song . When you have no idea of your purpose in life. Im old school if my son comes home with a pink suit on and a blonde wig wirh 40million dollar. Im gonna pray to God that he take the money back and bring back my son. The way the God created him we gonna have a serious problems. So many young rapper compremised there manhood for a hit record that nobody want to hear. Young rap world do what my Dad always said Man the fuck up. Take back your true identity and stop falling for the okie doke for a quick buck . Romans chapter One verses 20 thru 32 read and rap that.
Broken English sounding ass trying to tell people what to do with their lives. Maybe put down the PBR for a second and learn how to read, write and speak before you criticize someone else, and they’re livelyhood. You probably have a tight family or lots of respect for your hypothetical son, but if the pink suit wearing millionaire wasn’t in your immediate family, even if it was your cousin you’d be on your knees faster than you could say god, and not to pray.
Get em!!! English Motherfucker Do You Speak It!
*their
You claim he is not being a man, because of an outfit? Serious question. So what is a REAL man supposed to wear? And then ask yourself since when does a mans clothing matter to another man? Honestly, by your standards, it seems very UNMANLY to obsess over another mans choice of outfit. But hey girl, do you. Maybe you disagree with his shoes too? (Y’all masculinity is mad fragile)
White/black suburban emo kids
Wtf Igor sounds like elevator music. This dude is wearing a bob cut blonde wig dancing around in a yellow suit.
Ayo for real? That shit sound kinda dope, where he do that at??
Both albums are trash
IGOR is a weird gritty pop album with bad singing, a handful of rap verses and surprisingly thoughtful production, mixing and mastering. Khaled released a Spotify playlist with no hits or unique appeal. I don’t even know who it’s meant for.
Two bitches being bitches
Khaled doesn’t make his own beats, doesn’t rap, and doesn’t sing….. He basically has a rapper jump on a track someone else made, and he shouts his name over it.
DJ Khaled’s only skill is making artist colab on a track he sponsored.
His rapping is garbage if non-existent at all, he doesn’t write lyrics, and doesn’t produce beats or make his own music.
Tyler The Creator at least has some usable skills in the music business.
