Tyler, The Creator Pays $8,000 In Club Vandalism Case

    Tyler, the Creator was arrested last night in Hollywood, California after destroying sound equipment at the Roxy concert venue.

    According to TMZ, the Odd Future ringleader performed at the space earlier in the evening, shouting at the sound engineer at the club. Around 11:30 p.m., he was arrested on suspicion of vandalism and was booked at a nearby station.

    Police say that Tyler had “just destroyed an electric soundboard belonging to the venue. […] As [Tyler] was being escorted to a nearby radio car, the crowd exiting the venue became angry and rushed into the street, towards deputies.”

    Cops shut down Sunset Blvd. for 30 minutes after the crowd gathered and soon dispersed.

     

    [December 23]

    UPDATE: In connection with his arrest in December 2011, Tyler, The Creator had paid the Roxy $8,000 to cover damages for destroying sound equipment. The Odd Future leader is scheduled to meet a hearing officer for the District Attorney to determine how much he owes for investigation costs.

      1. Okay so what makes you think he is “rich”? I am in the music industry (not an artist) and see what compensation these artists get and they are all struggling. Tyler is like the Tokens (song: The Lion Sleeps Tonight) aka ONE MUTHA FUCKING HIT WONDER! They are trying to reinvent Gravediggaz, Flatliners etc. That era has passed. Wack ass girl wearing jean toys!

    1. Venues are gonna stop booking these guys. The fans do crazy shit. Tyler might break shit like an expensive soundboard. Where they gonna make money? Goblin flopped. It was trash.

      1. Coming from a jackwad calling himself “So Icy Boi!”would say that. You are about as bright as a black light. The only thing Odd about the Future is there is NO Odd Future in it. SWAG = Some Where Acting Gay.. Learn what hip hop is young kid.

      2. Sometimes i think OFWGKTA sends their members on rap websites in the comment sections to get you all riled up with silly shit like this. So Icy Boi can’t be serious…because his comment collapses on itself, as he says fuck Eminem who Tyler and even Earl would not attempt a battle with, even in Em’s older age. Another point is this person saying that they are the next Wu-Tang even though Wu had about 9 talented members about 7 with classic platinum solo albums to boot, and OF got Earl, Tyler, and maybe Hodgy on a good day, whose albums got decent reviews at best and not a fuckton of sales.

        So Icy Boi…you humor me. you have a good christmas son.

    2. The music is coo but the boy needs his shit fucked up one time… just one time. just a powerpunch to the throat one time.

      1. fucking right… acting like an immature little bitch. he blew up because of one song, plus the whole satanic, “look, I can roll my eyes back in my head and look like a dumbass” schtick… it’s run it’s course

    3. is it just me or does tyler the creator look like a special needs elf that santa and a slow @$$ elf produced? seriously he looks like the definition of a special needs case . he looks like the special needs child that all the other special needs kids made fun of.

    4. Ya’ll little niggas can stick to the “SWAG” we over here will be on the “KUSH”. Swag is dirt weed… the lowest form that you can get…

    5. Odd Futures trill. I dig the movement. Its not the next wu-tang by far. Odd future is its own seperate different movement. I like tyler. FUCK YALL

    6. fuck da haters. Tyler raps betta den NaDs, Gay-Z, Feminem, Rakim, KRS, Big Daddy Kane…

      hes da next RZA, GHOSTFACE or GZA. Tyler is a lyrical monsta. his on of da best rappas alive.

      hes da reincarnation of TUPAC.

      swag

      1. You know nothing about hip hop, I bet if a poisonous drink was labelled “swag” in big bold letters, you’d drink it you retarded ass nigga…

      2. He can rap but don’t get ahead of yourself son he’s not super lyrical he’s not on Nas’s level or on em’s previous level and C’MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOON SON. Rakim arguably started the whole syllable rhyming shit so did Big daddy kane, man has your wack ass even heard platinum plus he wrecked that joint I ain’t heard anything lyrically remotely close to that from these dudes.And lastly get your wack ass outta here C’MMMMMMMMMMMMON reincarnation of tupac, he was’nt lyrical like how kool g rap and all them dudes are but you can’t make another 2pac the dude was to real GTFOHWTB, now go on and run like a little pussy before I school your ass again fool.

      3. Excuse me as I get my philosiraptor on…

        How can you shit on Rakim…then compare Tyler to rappers like RZA, GZA and Ghostface……who openly pay homage to Rakim on several Wu songs?

        Your Argument is invalid, child. do your research first before make a comment, and have a great day.

    7. Fuck the Roxy for turning off his microphone after their last song! All you fuckin hypebeast fags hating in the comments fuxk off and go listen to J.Cole pussys

      1. oh no !! I can’t believe you would call someone a J. Cole fan!! it’s worse then the faggot… first of all let’s examine your comment… complaining about some gay ass mic turning off at the last (!!) song like a spoiled white faggot from sweet 16, then calling everyone hypebeast fags although you yourself are one, then sending us to listen to J.Cole as if he is worse then tyler, plus adding the word pussys as if it is feminine to listen to a black rapper with one eyebrow.

      2. ^
        this coming from the hypebeast faggot on j.coles dick hating on tyler hahaha. your opinion is worthless to me faggot.

    8. This guy is such an idiot, he constantly acts like he has never been out of the house, can’t stand him and thankfully his fame will blow over soon.

    9. lmao @ dis old ass niggas tryin go at me.
      cuz Tyler raps much betta den Kool G Rap, KRS-1, Chuck D, Black Thought, Notorious BIG….

      TUPAC SHAKUR was betta den dem niggas too. swag

      Tyler da new 2PAC. hes gonna show his lyrical skills on WOLF 2012. swag

      real hip hop >>>>> old rap

      1. HAHA awwww that shit is priceless the nigga used swag why are you getting all defensive, I schooled you stop trying to fight back your making.

    10. One day people will admit Tyler has no talent. His lyrics aint intelligent, like fans think, but only original because no one has ever been dumb enough to think that openly satanist lyricism is artistic. And quit calling it hip hop, just because it sounds dark doesn’t mean anything, it just means they can’t classify it as classical cause he’s black

    11. he is not a dope emcee, he makes shock rap don’t you dummies get it?

      hence theatrics being the focal point & not lyricism

    12. what a fag. will be so glad once this douchebag fades back into obscurity. how lame did game look acting like a fool with tyler in that video?

    13. This fag and his stupid ass looking expressions is a disgrace to hip hop and so are all the tight jegging wearing motherfuckers who are fans of this bitch. Someone shoot this fool so he can’t make no more garbage ass music. Nigga is a disgrace to LA and his album flopped. Fuck odd future little emo ass bitches!!!!

      1. i thought the same thing. nothing wrong with whitey obv, but it’s odd so few black people show up to see this fool. he’s a rapper for the suburbs, same a flo-rida.

      1. As an Chinese guy, I can proudly say that I nor any of my Chinese friends were ever on the Tyler train. Personally not my thing.

    14. I can’t believe how ridiculous these comments are. Half of you are saying he’s the worst rapper, the other half is saying he’s the next 2pac… What the fuck, seriously? I like Tyler (even though Earl is far better), he has put out good, originial music, the guy’s special. But he certainly is not 2pac (they aint got ONE thing in common).

      By the way I agree that Tyler acts retarted on this video. He really looks like a kid (which he is after all).
      Does that make their music less good? hell no. Stop exagerating so much it’s making all the process of commenting useless.

    15. I can’t believe how ridiculous these comments are. Half of you are saying he’s the worst rapper, the other half is saying he’s the next 2pac… What the f***, seriously?

    18. these pll commenting hvnt herd shit but yonkers go liten to bastard just the song u dont have to listen to the whole tape if u dont want but he isnt all horrecore swag this swag that

    19. andthe pll stuck on the satanist shit tylers an athiest witch means he thinks god belongs with santa and the tooth fairy likewise the devil isnt sitting under the crust of the earth with a pitchfork waitng for his ass u fucking retards

      1. no you two dumb ass niggaz above me!he is right.Atheist dont believe in god OR THE DEVIL!read a book nigga

    20. Tyler is immature obviously in every interview he is acting like a crack addict. His music is ok or slightly less than that but this has nothing to do with race he is just on some drug that distorts the mind.

    21. Don’t get me wrong I do not like Tyler or anybody else form OFWGKTA. I do however, like that he doesn’t give a shit about anyone else. Too many “rappers” out there getting hurt feelings and shit. Man up all you pussy rappers… Drake in particular. How you gon’ make a song crying about your exes and openly expressing your feelings… and then say you gonna fuck up a tattoo artist if you ever see him? Fake ass rappers need to retire.

    22. shut the fuck all of you, your soooo annoying. I’m barely a fan of this guy but I think his shit is creative and a new form of Horrorcore. Nobody who makes Horrorcore is serious about it so relax. Nobody bitches about early Eminem horrorcore, or when Big L does it or when Grave Diggaz did it. You call it shock rap, big deal. This is definently good for hip hop, the fact that Just Dont Give a Fuck music is becoming popular again, I’m tired of hearing pussies like Drake and Lil Wayne on the radio and electro rap shit like Flo Rida and Will I Am. You may not like this dude but your just fooling yourself if you think hes bad for hip hop and or hes a bad rapper, you may not like his lane, but hes swaying rap in a good direction along with rappers like J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and what not. stop being bitches, you may not like his music but stop calling him an attention whore or immature, its just the way he is.

      1. Well said, I use to hate Tyler, but after giving him a fair chance and listening to more of his music he’s one of my favorite rappers. Definitely top 5 up and coming rapper.

      2. how is he not immature? “thats just the way he is” is one of the shittiest excuses ive ever heard for a person. that could be used for anybody then. and if anybody calls you stupid i will be right there to defend you by saying thats just the way you are

      3. Gravediggaz wasn’t getting locked up and seeing protests because of their music content.

        You can make an impact w/o the bs.

      4. This dude takes it too far dissing Jesus and putting inverted crosses on all his stuff. He get no support from me

      5. Freedom of speech, he can diss jesus, the world, the president, me, it doesnt really matter. Its shock value, like when he talks about rape and murder, I dont take it serious..

      6. its all corny, the inverted crosses and 666 shit is so fucking gay its just for attention and not to mention this dude uses fruity loops that aint hardcore

    23. Well, i’m pretty sure that this started cause da sound engineer didn’t do what tyler asked, like, i don’t know, turn up the volume of the mic, and such, so after a couple o’ tries, he got mad an destroyed the thing, it happens in metal, happens in rap, happens in music, over it, some engineers are assholes

    24. How do people like this Guy is nuts. Goblin was fucking retarded the beats and his rapping style is so crazy and people say Tech N9ne is for white people.

      1. If you dont like Tyler why even click on this article?? Hell, why even post a comment??? You are fucking wack bro you try too hard.

      1. Listened. It’s garbage. Only talented person in this shitty group is Frank Ocean. The others will be forgotten about in about 6 months to a year.

      2. Tyler the Creator, not talented? Really?You can hate or love him but Bastard was creative album by any standard

      1. anonymous, its a line from a Tyler song.

        I would have thought that since u hav taken the time to read about tyler, u wud hav at least listened to him.

        So it is in fact u that needs to kill yourself.

    25. to all da kidz watching, you can do diz shit – Tyler, The Creator, 2011 MTV Video Music Awardz

      I can do diz too. Tylerz ma role model. Odd Future iz da new Wu-Tang Clan. real hip hop muzik. swag

    26. All of you guys are fucking stupid there was a mosh pit and tyler tried to warn everyone that two girls were hurt and the sound guy wasnt turning up the mic so he can tell ever one. Really he sound get a reward for thinking about other people

    27. I really wish I could like this dude cuz some of his production is nice as well as his lyrical ability but his content as well as his persona are garbage

    28. Tylers dope. He’s just a real dude being himself and expressing whats on his mind through the art of music. You cant knock him for that
