After a Reddit user and former Tyler, The Creator/Odd Future fan expressed their concern over the Ladera Heights, California rapper’s recent musical offerings, Tyler has responded to the former fan’s Reddit post.
In his post, the Reddit user (screenname cokomo) stated that he “used to love” the music of Tyler, The Creator, but lost interest at a point when he felt that the musician’s lyrical content shifted.
“I think I’ve realized I’ve outgrown Tyler as a whole,” cokomo wrote, according to HotNewHipHop.com. “He’s done some cool stuff and I will always respect that but I’m tired of his arrogant, braggadocios and unretalable recent attitude. I can’t relate to him talking about wanting a McLaren, having big chains, or being a god like I related to him rapping about his life and feeling depressed because he was stuck in a house arguing with his grandma or about girl trouble. I’m 19 now and it was a fun couple of years but honestly he’s just annoyed me so much recently.”
After receiving word of cokomo’s post and the grievances of other fans, Tyler responded with a post on spring.me.
The Odd Future wordsmith began his post by listing the songs he raps about his jewels and cars on. He then spoke on his life, and therefore his content, changing since 2011.
“he said he releated to me when i was depressed and living with my grandmother,” Tyler, The Creator wrote. “dude, that was in 2011. its 2015, if he really thinks that 4 years later i would still be living on my dead grandmothers floor, and still be sad with all these amazing things happening around me, then he is stuck in 2011. and i dont mean that in a bad way, when you have a favorite artist, you tend to grasp onto an era, trust me i do that with artist that i love but i also know they grow and see new things and change and mature and all of that. im sorry that im not in the same place to talk about those things that were happening in 2011. i dont know what to tell you, my life is in a different spot right now and like on every album, i talk about whats going on in my life AT THAT MOMENT.”

Fuck Tyler
Not even that…his beat selection is trash and he basically is trying way to hard to sound pop.
You’re crazy. He makes his own beats you dumbass, and it is so far removed from pop I don’t know what you’re smoking.
do you know what pop sounds like? name some pop artists who sound like tyler
Fuck you tyler. You were awesome. You should evolve your style one more time back to something less awful. You pop bitch.
Lol how is he pop? Explain that to me. That makes no sense.
I like the new, happy Tyler. I can see why he moved away from the old stuff. Angsty teenage me loved 2011 Tyler but when I listen to the old stuff now I’m like damn, this is dark. And intense. Raping pregnant bitches and shit. And tron cat was my favorite song. I can see why a lot of people aren’t vibing to cherry bomb tho because I think the beats are pretty experimental. I’m excited to hear what he comes out with in the future. 🙂

I don’t understand why anybody would hate someone just because of their branching out. We change as people and sometimes we grow out of phases and we experiment and we learn and progress. Anyone who has the talent and the will to stick to it deserves respect, not hate and criticism. If you get upset about Tylers change then you should stop and think about your life as a whole. I enjoy his old stuff, I enjoy his new stuff, I enjoy OF’S stuff, it’s good music it has a good sound, whether it affects you in a negative way or not is up to you. Tyler keep doing what you’re doing man I respect your hard work and determination to keep making dope music. And to all you little bitches out there, I salute you with a middle finger and a mouthful of STFU ^-^
Why would anyone ever like him? He’s crap.
You need to re-evaluate your life if you can only relate to dark depressing music for an extended period of time
