In a clip from the latest episode of Spotify’s RapCaviar Presents docuseries, which dropped on Hulu March 30, Tyler discusses the importance of the genre as an art form and why he loves being a rapper. He said he has no qualms about his musicianship, and truly enjoys making his living laying raps on tracks.
“We’re good with words. We’re good with rhythm. We know pockets. We hear a collection of sounds and one thing and say, ‘Ahh, I know what could go over this,’ that takes a skill,” he said.
