Odd Future rapper Tyler, The Creator may have made his entrance in rap just a few years ago, but already the Wolf crafter is considering his retirement from rap.
In a recent interview with Ptwschool.com, Tyler spoke on drawing inspiration outside of rap and even revealed his plans to invest his money in various ventures with the hopes of not having to rely on rap three years down the line.
“Rap isn’t even my fuckin—I mean, I love it, but like that’s not what I really draw a lot of inspiration from at all…I’m just trying to invest in shit, so I don’t have to make music three years from now and I could be rich off of that. I am not kidding,” said the Odd Future emcee.
Tyler also touched on his newfound relationship with rapper Kanye West, one of few artists the rapper considers a friend. While speaking on Kanye, he went on reveal the exact reason why the G.O.O.D. Music emcee wasn’t featured on his single “IFHY.”
According to Tyler, the feature from Kanye was turned down because “creative-wise” there was no room for the rapper on the song.
“Kanye is one of the only few people in this industry that I consider a friend. I’ll probably talk to him once a week and we just—we both have a love for art and we hate a lot of the same stuff. So, I don’t want people to think that’s a diss or like a side hit when I said I denied him,” Tyler revealed. “It was just that I played him the album before it was finished and it was a song that he really, really liked on there and he really liked it a lot and he wanted to be on it or whatever. And the way I do features I specifically pick people for what they’re featured on. And that song, it was nowhere where creative-wise where I thought he would fit on there.”
Released in May, “IFHY” features producer/singer Pharrell Williams and was produced partially by Tyler, The Creator.

rapradar got them a buzz
joey bada$$ a better rapper
yep, and Tyler a better producer
I like this kid and think he is talented but he is such a fucking attention seeking whiner. Always going on about htis and that, nigga shut up, you are 20 years old and rich off rap. Enjoy your life, make music and stop talking this bullshit like you tryna retire at 23 off of “investments” and shit. Gimme a fuckin break.
hes 22 retard
probly lost his buzz
who gives a shit how old he is. that isn’t the fucking point cunt nugget.
heard they making a black hippy record
they putting it out on vinyl to
please retire fag
Tyler isn’t the kind of artist who can last. 90% of his fanbase are white kids under 20, who are impressed by his childish antics and personality, but not his actual music. They support him because they haven’t really developed their own identities, and Tyler gives them something colorful to imitate. But kids grow up and what happens when they figure out who they are and don’t need Tyler anymore? Gimmicks don’t last, especially when there’s no talent or substance to back up the gimmicks. My best bet is that if he doesn’t retire, he will fade into obsurity within the next 2 years. I’m not impressed
same goes for eminem when he started out, look where he at now
difference is eminem made great pop records and hes far more lyrical
“especially when there’s no talent or substance to back up the gimmicks” Dont get it twisted im not a Tyler the Creator fan I like some of his songs but to say he has no talent is taking it to far and makes you come off as a hater. Wolf wasn’t a bad album and at least it was more creative and original then %90 off what comes out today. And saying he has no substance tells me you dont actualy listen to his music you probably heard some singles. He has had songs with substance on every single project hes released.
Most people that support him agree with his opinions or emotions. I personally started listening to him because I can agree with his music when it comes the pressure of believing in religion, not having a father in your life, being really into stuff that other people don’t share a passion for, liking a girl that either doesn’t like you back or has a boyfriend already, being your own person and not giving into other’s opinions and feeling sad at times.
Tyler is a No Heart Faggot
What a dipshit. Why would you want to retire? I just lost any respect I had, if I even had any, for this dude. I’m over here thinking the whole time he’s extremely passionate about rap and his music now he says, rap isn’t reaLLY even his main focus. WTF man??
Because music was his way of coping with his emotions, but it”s never been his main focus. He’s over a lot of stuff like the girls in the past, his father, being broke, having to go to college doing stuff he doesn’t enjoy and etc. Being successful changed half of that and the other half is either gone or he’s more at peace with because of his music. Tyler has said a lot that his passion goes with art like directing videos, designing the clothing line, producing beats, and helping his friends get known for their respective art whether it’s music, photography, or skateboarding.
Does anyone know what song the beat playing in the background is from??
PLEASE RETIRE.! OFWGKTA is just for 12 year old supreme loving posers
HE DIDN’T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT LIKING ODD FUTURE… DEFINITION OF A HATER.
lol exactly, all the hate built up in his heart as he was watching the video and he just spazzed out and replied to the first comment he saw with that thought.

Also if youre a hip hop elitist just shut the fuck up. if everyone called nas bad you would too. get a fucking opinion and dont be a fucking sheep. OFWGKTA
AMEN
Please Tyler don’t retire
hi
Are you guys fucking stupid it’s not called retiring it’s called fucking taking a break. All you guys can do is talk shit and hate on him, knowing damn well he doesn’t give a fuck about what you no life’s think. He’s out there living his dream and all you’re doing is hating on him because of it. Eminem took a break from rapping because of drug problems and so what he came back and became really famous. Yea Tyler the creator fans are white boy dick riders who follow them because they can’t make an image for themselves so what? Tyler specifically tells them to be themselves and do whatever the fuck you like. Tyler has made fucking 3 albums in the matter of 3 years won a vma and has his own TV show. If he and his group are such ignorant fuck boys they wouldn’t have even gotten this famous. Leave Tyler the Creator alone he’s an amazing and very creative artist
DIDNT READ HAHA!!!!!!
Do everyone a favor
God have answered my prayers. Now I will take over the world, son!
I don’t think tyler should retire..i mean hes deff not the greatest rapper but he makes me laugh so I listen to his shit
Shut your coming out with an album next year ass up!
Dude looks like he’s aged 10 years the past 2 years WTF. Tyler looks 33
people call tech a devil worshiper with no evidence
but when some random rapper that came out of the blue with a upside down cross on his album cover no one says shit
if anything tech on the good side
hopsin good
tyler evil
he ain’t random and many people have protested him as
a devil worshipper; I guess it depends on what you consider

Real talk but Ja Rule bout to murder him wit the Shiv!
ya its about time tyler quit rapping anyway you can tell the creativity in his verses has been lacking as of late. he uses the same flow in every song even if it doesnt match the tempo of the beat. some of his shit just sounds off recently. hes definitely more of a producer than a rapper.
He’s just going into hiding cause he knows Ja Rule gon dice him wit the shiv
Ja Rule is the defination of greatness
Ja Rule worth more than bill gates and Jay-Z combined
Ja Rule would murder 2pac’s career

FINALLY. NOBODY WITH IQ OVER 100 WOULD EVER LISTEN TO THIS GARBAGE MADE BY ONE UNTALENTED RAPPER. JUST PLAIN ATTENTION BITCHING, TYLER CAN’T MAKE A DECENT SONG WITHOUT DISSING AT LEAST 10 RAPPERS ON THE SONG. HE’S FUCKING ATTENTION BITCH AND HE SUCKS. I WONDER WHY THE HELL IS KANYE HIS FRIEND. IF HE WAS ON THE SONG, IT WOULD BE THE ONLY GOOD REASON TO LISTEN TO THAT FUCKING JACKASS. ODD FUTURE IS TRASH, ONLY ONE WITH TALEND IS FRANK OCAEN.

That would be a damn shame, Tyler you’re brilliant man. Keep giving the world your fantastic music- Wolf is a truly amazing album and there’s a lot of people out there who know what the fuck is up who be digging it big time. Can’t wait for the next release!
