Tyler, The Creator spoke with journalist Andrew Nosnitsky in an article published on Golf Wang to discuss everything from the McLaren he wants to buy to his new music.
During the conversation, the Odd Future founding father, who launched his Golf Media app today (April 8), explains what is wrong with music today.
“It doesn’t really give you much feeling,” he says.
He describes how he has a unique way of mixing his music that distorts the bass and makes his lyrics secondary to the overall sound of the song.
“Fuck what I’m saying,” the rapper says. “I’m not no fucking deep intricate poet. It’s the whole vibe, it’s the whole world of that song.”
He also expresses frustration over the amount of fake people he sees in the music industry. He says he is cool with ScHoolboy Q, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Andre 3000, but not many others.
“My immediate friends don’t make music,” he says. “The people I am tight with who make music are kids who play guitar and shit like that. I’m not at these niggas little parties taking pictures like ‘Aye I’m here with my bro @soandso.’ We do our shit. I skate down the streets still. I’m excited to finish the album so I can get Mario Party 10. I enjoy the cookies at the studio. It’s easy to live in a world with these dudes because I don’t even associate with them.”
Odd Future‘s landmark store on Fairfax in Los Angeles closed its doors at the beginning of the year. Tyler says he is sad the boutique closed its doors especially because it was so much more than a store for the local kids.
“That was home base,” he says. “But some weird shit happened with the guy leasing it for us. I miss that spot. We’d be on that block all day. That shit being closed kills me. We can go open up another store but that was just a safe zone. I’m safe on that block. I met a lot of friends [on Fairfax]. Travis, Thebe. Me and Jasper would go over there. There’s a whole legion of younger kids like 15 or 16 that would hang around there so we like their big homies or whatever. That was a hangout spot for them and it was good because it would kind of keep them out of trouble.”
For additional Tyler, The Creator coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
what’s wrong with YOUR music is that after your initial hype died down you could continue making good music. people got over the whole “black kids acting like crazy white kids” gimmick. it’s all good to be a creative person but you have to focus your energy somewhere to make it count. we already know the industry is fake, that’s why it’s called entertainment
Except for the white and black kids line, I agree. Tyler carved himself a niche, then lost interest, and does what now? Oh and don’t call him a Rapper, he’s an “artist”. The only one staying true is Earl, but even he gets annoying when he talks in interviews
Why do some of us white people all think black people have to act the same . Not all whites act the same I cant see why blacks are expected to always play the stereotypes handed down to us by the OUTDATED mass media .
The 1960s ended a long time ago .It’s the information age times are changing whether you like it or not .
more like Tyler the non-creator….
clever
ngga you’re what is wrong with music today.
He’s a young genius. just a weirdo. like most geniuses.i always see him in Inglewood. i wish he would shut up and put more music out. earls new shit is pretty dope btw. i respect how they built their brand from nothing.
Well he’s got a new album coming out next week so there you go.
But what about Big Sean?
The irony of this article title is hilarious. Tyler sucks. Let’s be honest.
Word! He makes childish videos to promote his “Golf” merchandise to confused teenagers. He has one fucking mediocre record and that’s it! Dude is mad immature. Anybody with a ounce of intelligence has lost interest years ago!
