And now he's a multi-millionaire, fashion icon, multiple homes, multiple businesses including his own luxury line, two Grammy's, multiple gold and platinum hits, scored a movie AND a Louis Vuitton fashion show, has sold out arenas across the country and internationally, and even as he's matured so much, the essence of who he is in this interview is still the same. Looove that and love him.
I honestly think that Tyler, the Creator is a genius. He is incredibly intelligent. He's funny. He's a free-thinker. I don't really care about his music, to be honest, but he is a genius. He made it to the big time, being himself, not caring, at the age of only 18. I think he's absolutely insane, don't get me wrong, but as they say, there's a fine line between genius and insanity. This man is a genius. Simple as that. If you don't see it, you need to look closer.
No Name "free-thinker" you don't give a shit about his music and only care that he's a popular artist who happens to be an atheist. Because atheist automatically means genius as everyone totally knows.
@@cherrybombin8668 thing I liked about that was he wasn’t emphasizing it I don’t need a whole album about you being gay because it’s like who cares and Igor barely had good bars flower boy while all the gay metaphors got annoying had some nice lyrics and that why I listen to Tyler for his incredible rapping and I think he’s waisting it because he’s not a good singer imo
@@kennykenny1616 I’m not hating on gays I’m just saying I don’t really care if your gay and right now in the society we live in gay inequality doesn’t exist anymore besides in like a small Christian town in the south I guess
I remember when I first heard his music, I downloaded Goblin onto my Xbox and played it in the background while I played games. I paid no attention to it, paid no attention to each individual song or the lyrics, I just played Lost Planet 2 while listening to the music. I loved the production more than anything, I actually had no idea that he was talking about dark shit until after playing the album 24/7 for a month straight (literally. I had a lot of free time..). After listening to it for so long, I looked him up and researched him, this was the first video I saw. I remember I was blown away as to how he was speaking, I NEVER in my life heard a celebrity talk the way he talks. I never heard a famous person be so real. He spoke the same way I spoke, he wasn't fake, and I was, drawn and inspired by that. This guy is the Kurt Cobain of our generation, dude has no filter, he just says what's in his heart, that's what I like the most about him.
He's a deviant. I like deviants. He does what likes and he doesn't give a shit what you or me thinks. Deviants aren't always geniuses, what makes them different is their pure drive to do whatever they think is fun. I appreciate that, and thats something I can't hate. He's honest, and yes maybe some of his music are dumb, but he doesn't care, nor should you. He sings what he feels, and isn't that what music is suppose to be? Isn't music a reflection of what a human feels? If you don't agree to his music or style, then fuck off, nobody is forcing you to stay here and listen to what he has to say. Don't like whats on the radio? Switch the channel, turn it off. Like he said, he gets off of pissing people off, and by getting pissed at him, then he just accomplished his goal. Don't take him seriously, take the good and leave what you consider bad, just like everything else in this world. duhh
Those are some low ambitions dude. There are tons of people that think like he does, the only difference is he got lucky attaining fame, if he was a kid from around the block you wouldn't give two shits about him People love him for his fame, not who he is because there are kids like this all over the country
MrClownDroid not true at all, tyler was a kid from around the block. and people love for who he is, hes not in the limelight. he aviods it. and he has the most unique personality, hes one of a kind thats why people love him too
i come back to this interview alot, so amazing to see how he predicted his future accomplishments and how far he's come from the goblin days, so proud of him, 2 grammys later and hes only just getting started, a living legend
One of the realest artists. He Directs all his videos. Produces all his beats. Designs his own clothing. & Always promotes his group. He's truthful in his interviews. Most Hopsin fans blindly hate.
trippin. he doing the same shit he was here, he just matured. i dont know him on a personal level obviously but i feel like creativity in certain people like tyler just don't wane.
this was the first tyler interview i watched & i easily became a fan because the thing he said in this video. to fast forward to this yr & see him become a grammy winner & gave back to back #1 albums makes me so happy. this very talented individual has came a long way from eating a roach on camera and deserves all the success he’s gotten & will continue to get.
I love what he says about progression. He's the perfect example of growth and maturity. He's grown up so much since this era. While I had a blast as a 17 year old during OF's prime in 2011-2012, i'm so glad that Tyler matured and grew up and makes the kind of music he does now. Fuckin love this dude. OFWGKTA
“They would call me white for wearing Slipknot and good charlotte clothes. Talking about its fucked up for the black community, the black community is already fucked up. Don’t give me no ish like that” The realest words ever
what really gets to me is that people can come on videos about him, watch them fully and then hate about them. just because you dont like him doesnt really give you the right to talk down on him. he wont give a fuck either way but i mean still. Tyler is actually intelligent as fuck and he worked very hard to get where he is. he has deeper meanings, and he can express them in his own ways. you dont get that? fine but you dont have to bash him. he actually has thought, and puts every ounce of energy into his lyrics, and is so proud and happy to do it. You cant compare him to Tupac because they are completely seperate human beings, of course hes not like him, hes amazing at the music he creates, and Tupac was amazing at his.
This is one of the best interviews Tyler has ever given he doesn't make a joke about things which he usually does in interviews. its nice to have serious interviews from time to time it helps people that don't respect him to take him more serious.
The only things that I can relate to him with me is the fact I hate parties, drugs and shit like that I just do my own thing I'm too busy skating cause I know how much drugs fuck with you and I just wanna concentrate on what I love. All my friends do drugs, only weed, but I choose not to purely because of the fact I don't know how I'll end up how bad it'll effect me. i'm rebellious then I'm not like I'll rebel against people that I don't like but people I do like I'll respect them, you respect me I respect you, I cant do what Tyler does cause he purely doesn't give a shit.
I vividly remember getting a facebook message from a kid I went to high school with about this new song “Yonkers” with a link to the video. we weren’t really friends but we talked occasionally about rap and I had not spoke with him since I graduated. This was before I even had a smart phone so I plugged my big ass studio headphones into my laptop and watched the video. I was 20 years old and that shit absolutely blew my mind, for the first time in awhile I was genuinely excited by a new artist and a new sound, also by digging into Tyler and Odd Future I came across a young Vince Staples and Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1 which I thought was amazing and I spread that shit around to my friends like it was the gospel.
I feel so validated that he liked Slipknot as a kid. I listened to almost exclusively Slipknot and Korn untill Yonkers came out my freshman year of high school.
KochisarliHD7 It's not called luck, hard work nor talent. It's called coincidence. Everything is a coincidence, even how I just posted this non-sequitur response.
***** Plenty of people worked harder than him and haven't made it. Many, many people are also more talented than him and have not made it. (I.e. Akala, Lowkey, Jokerr, etc...)
Loved this interview, most of the time interviewers aren't smart enough for Tyler to have the patience to talk to them like this. He is really clever, most people don't get that.
I miss the old Tyler, 😔 I’ve been listening to this dude since goblin dropped, I love the fact he just says whatever he wants and whatever is on his mind, most creative rapper to date, Ive gone to his wolf tour a while back, one of my favorite rappers ever hands down
there arnt many free rappers, this man is clearly being himself having fun and has a dream job, regular rappers don't do that, rappers don't go home jump on a trampoline and watch cartoon network, most are out trying to fuck bad bitches, make it rain in the club or shooting up a footlocker for the newest jordans, i hope more of our youth can focus on being themselves and prospering from it like he did, and if you don't like him play something else
Clown shut the fuck up. He's probably more clever and more creative then you'll ever be. You just another hater. And if you don't like him then why the fuck are you here, bye.
Because he plays people and he knows it. He'd clown on you if he had the chance. You don't understand these people aren't clever, they just do things that isn't good but people seem to like. Even if people don't like they'll keep making it. Sit down
I love what he said about race, I hate when people say someone is acting white or acting black, it's the most ignorant thing you could tell someone.
Very true dude
Yes
Bro we’ve gone backwards
well you can act black
@Anthony Nazaradeh how do you act black around your white friends do you like say something and they say oh why acting black 😭

sunxnes my thoughts exactly
If you are still active, what do you think about him now?
don't ever compare someone to Kurt Cobain, he is the tyler the creator of our generation
the interview changed my life. i remember hearing this 10 years ago and feeling like someone finally understood….
So inspired by Tyler. He's my hero.

I wanna see an interview of Tyler now watching old interviews of himself. Man has grown so much
"Sock a girl in her uterus"
- Tyler, the Creator.
One of the few interviews of Tyler during this era where he's actually serious.
his intelligence and ambition is the most inspiring shit ever. I fucking adore him so much
Those are some low ambitions dude.

Sam beans you could not be more wrong. He stated bad I quote" I want people to cry over me like oh we just lost a hero"
Do some research mate.
What pisses me off is that every single video that is an interview with him is Yonkers :/
Well its what made him hot so what do you expect it relates to everyone instead of picking something only "superfans" know
And now he has a grammy
it feels weird watching this again in 2020

Not as good as a rapper but tyler has a more entertaining personality

Not lyrically, but artistically he is better.
I'd have to say mate, they're different branches of hip hop. Don't generalise and compare.
"i wanna be an icon" oh boy do i got a story to tell you
he is such an inspiration, honestly. He may be very out spoken but he got to where he is with dedication.
