Tyler Okonma, better known as Tyler, the Creator, is one of today's most influential rappers, producers, and creative minds. From early projects such as Odd Future, to his most recent album (Call Me If You Get Lost), to his collaborations with brands like Converse, to Golf LeFleur, his high-end fashion line... it certainly seems that Tyler does it all and has no plans of stopping. Everybody can take some nuggets of wisdom, and motivation from him.

I remember the Goblin days, the industry wanted to do nothing with him. Now he has his own motivational videos 😂😂
Facts, he's come a long way. Can't wait to see what else he does.
@@ArtSupport1 same
Seriously!!!
they thought he could never do it.. now they wanna be like him.. the irony
Except he’s nothing like the goblin days anymore.
"People can only judge you based off what you've already done"
Solid statement👏
Tbh it's bad to look for external validation anyways. No one actually understands you or the work you put in, and even if you're successful they'll reduce you down to the number of streams you have or whatever the equivalent is for a given medium. Just have to do what you love and do it for yourself.
u kind fucked up the quote
he said "SOME people..." which i think more reads as those ppl aren't the opinions to listen to cuz all they have in their mind is what you've done not what you could do
@@jojoeljefe agreed, I think that's what he meant
exactly
Young folks need to understand this. The people who pressure you to do what they think you should do will not take any responsibility if that decision you made based off their opinion turns out to be bad advice. So take advice with that understanding and ultimately make the decision that's best for you.
🎯
man, that's right
great comment
They should not take responsibility either because it’s always up to the individual no matter how much pressure is put on us we still have the ability inside us all to make the decisions we make. No one else
"Never take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from" -Someone online
It’s bizarre to me how easy it is to be someone else but how difficult it is for us to be ourselves.
I just turned 21 last year and I just now have begun the journey of just being my true self.
@@jamesbeaupry9207i just turned 21 last week now I’m in the same situation
@@jamesbeaupry9207shit is so hard but definitely worth
I guess this is because we try to be like people that are not being themselves. either, its easier to play a shallow role
I think it all comes down to the fear of re-feeling the trauma of rejection. When we put on a mask and we are rejected, it's not "us" being rejected, it's the mask. So we put on another mask. When we are truly ourselves, we open ourselves up to being TRULY rejected, AGAIN. To be able to re-feel that pain and actually process it and let go of it.... you'll be unstoppable.
The best advice to be yourself is DONT LISTEN TO ADVICE. Trust your instincts and don’t consider failure to be the end of your attempt
Advice is cool but it just helps you decide what actions to take
Yup esp unsolicited advice. I've been saying this for a while and this who give unsolicited advice always get triggered by it. I tell them idc.
@@daydrms it can help, but in the end every single action you take and opinion you have is still your choice. Its your choice to act or not and your choice to agree or disagree. One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to recognize this and make those choices consciously in every moment
But this is advice
"don’t consider failure to be the end of your attempt". I like that.
Tyler: I don't even know what I'm gonna be doing three years from now.
Also Tyler: I got plans for the next 4 years.
definition of not letting ppl know your next move lol , that’s why i fuck with him so heavy.
it’s moreso the ideas we kno the details zero
he’s a walking paradox
you can never know but you can always have plans
@@lucilfer5363 No he's not
As a female engineer, I deal with a whole lot of shit. I’m sized up and underestimated all of the time. I really appreciate Tyler’s words because I’ve always known what I’m capable of even if other people don’t see it yet.
keep doing you!! take the no’s to the places where they become yes’s!! hope u get to do whatever u wanna do :,)
Respect ^^
I'm also a female engineer; kudos to you!
Slay queen another day another slayyyyy
fuck yeah, what type of engineer? like software or something more dirty like mechanical? my dad is a bus and car engineer, and i know how bad that can feel when my two older brothers are getting cars and learning about them and then tell me i will never know anything about cars
#1 start being yourself
#2 Be the leader
#3 know your full potential
#4 Don’t Judge
#5 Just try it
#6 Revisit your ideas
#7 Don’t chase trends
#8 Follow your heart
It's hard to be yourself in this programmed society now a days
npcs running wild 😂
The facts
it's always been like that
@@fab7929 We live in a prison where we are the prisoners building our own prison, it's genius.
Take everything on social media w a grain of salt
Not gonna lie I'm pretty envious of how easily he shrugged it off. All I ever wanted as a kid was for others to like me and they never ever did. It fucked up, I'm 30 and it still fucks me up. Even though I've been staunchly myself and independent once I was nearing adulthood it never stopped hurting. And there were still times since where I wondered "God why won't they just like me?"
Oh Gosh same. I'm 17, 18 in exactly 2 months. When I was a kid I used to be the most popular person in my class, kinda struggling with social cues or understanding other people, but everyone still loved me for my sense of humor, sympathy, curiousness about everyone and playfulness. I used to be a tomboy and spend a lot of time with boys, but for every boy I was friends with I had a great girl friend. Then in 4th grade my dad died and it just fked me up. I had friends, sure. But they wouldn't hang out with me outside school at all. I kinda went from this ,,main character" to filler friend, NPC in the background, second choice etc. I'm so glad I'm in high school now, I found people who understand me and even look up to me. I went from feeling like an outcast and believing I won't ever find anyone again to a leader of my friend group and us all loving and supporting each other.
But this pain of not being understood in primary school and middle school still is inside of me. It doesn't hurt, but it's just impossible to forget. Like you were trying your best and it wasn't working, and it's just easy to move on, but so hard to forget. At the same time I'm worried I'm gonna struggle to make friends in the future as an adult, idk why.
Also another thing I can say, maybe I'm young and it might sound funny cuz of that but I know one thing about myself that I think applies to a lot of other people as well: if you don't know how to be happy alone, without any friends, all by yourself, then you won't be happy surrounded with people as well.
People can only love you. If they like you theyre likely involving their ego or sex attraction. They either hate you love you or dont care. If they like you they see you as a thing to buy at Target. You remind them of what they want themselves to be seen as. Thats what like is. Its very surface level
I'm not saying this to be rude. You should go to therapy. It might seem like a "small thing" to go to therapy for but it can really help you solve some things about yourself
@@herbatabiaa9986this was good advice
I don’t know if u even want this advice, but for me, it’s always been important to find friends who actually like me. ask yourself, if I gained 50 kilos would my friends still treat me the same? What if I dropped out of uni, or lost my job, or stopped wearing makeup or- like please, when u click with someone, don’t force it, let it happen. Relationships that y have to force normally aren’t worth it in the end…I have a circle of about 4 friends and we can’t hang out because I don’t have a lot of money, but I would trust two of them with my deepest secrets and the other two with like 90% of what I have to tell. Unfortunately, they’ll never like you. I don’t know why, but you’re only thirty, spending the rest of your life trying to get people to like you sounds pretty exhausting, doesn’t it?
- Random internet person who knows nothing
Such a genuine soul.
I often watch Tyler videos when im working on my own art hustle. Im a visual artist, but the hustle is the same. Big ups to his authenticity, it something that essential to living a fulfilled life.
Word
Rule #1 is definitely to make what you like. If you like it, someone else will! Love the channel btw, didn't even notice how small
These videos are so inspirational. PLEASE keep up the good work!
True dat
YES pleassee
😹
Agreed!
I’m a beginner photographer and filmer. I’m always worried about other people who are above me and I’m afraid of people not giving me a chance to express myself. Especially if it’s trash and you look up to these kind of people because you only got one shot. I only hope that one day someone is going to enjoy my mediocre ideas. It’s hard as a beginner to get started with what you’re doing. No matter what your craft is. Everyday people struggle with it. But the hardest part is getting someone to like what you’ve created. I love how Tyler explained that it’s okay to fuck up. Everyone is in the process of fucking up. I want people to know that there is less competition when you have you’re own style because people will come to you instead of someone else because people know what to look for and what you’re capable of. Good luck everyone and hope for success to everyone’s hearts and dreams❤
man i feel so connected to tyler, he’s always been my inspiration to always do better in life and to not care what others think.
I’ve had so much respect for Tyler and that feeling has grown over the last 12 years. I’m actually a little older than he is, but I have learned SO much from this kid; I struggled with bullying to the point that I was not functioning as an adult. I was severely traumatized. I absolutely discovered him at the right time: not only did I love his music, but he truly helped me reframe the way I saw the world and how I could function in it. I still struggle a lot- but I come back to videos of Tyler spitting nothing but truth and it helps me gain a much healthier perspective. It doesn’t hurt that he’s hysterical. I would love to sit with this kid of 5 minutes just to tell him what he did for me. I’ll always have respect for him. I know you’ll never see this, but thanks for everything Tyler. We love and appreciate you.
The biggest thing I had to teach myself was that no matter how badly you want to be like another person, particularly celebrities since almost everyone idolizes at least one celebrity, you never will. No matter how hard you try. So just stop trying and be yourself. 😁
It’s so irritating that so many of his bad fans are always saying “you should be yourself!” When they themselves are just copying Tyler in most ways (fashion, ideology, hobbies, etc.)
I sort of use his music style interwoven with my own stories. But yes I do have to say a lot of his fans be doing this.
I know all of this but my adhd can get in the way with me trying to stick with something long term. Thats my biggest hurdle on again, off again motivation. But I'm confident I will overcome in the end.
Tyler has adhd aswell
I know you can do it buddy. Keep it going
"In school I was the one thinking outside boxes, So everybody in them would say that I got problems, So when I heard you say it, I said it back like fuck 'em"
“Sometimes I’m not ready for things..” thats actually such a great insight. the humility and accountability tyler shows here is so refreshing. idk much about his work but boy am i ready to dive in now.
really loved this video! I've always struggled with authenticity and fighting off conformity. as a new creative, I'm trying my best to come back to myself. really loving this channel's uploads so far! keep it up :)))
You got this 🤘
The key goal is this; surround yourself with people that support you, that don’t tear you down. Straight up, just be around other artists, of any kind, and keep going til you find your home
As a new creative?
@@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes yeah, an individual new to the creative industry
Another tip: minimize your time on tiktok, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. instead of looking for other people thoughts or ideas, create your own. Do your research. Read shit. Learn something new. Find things that inspire you in the real world and offline, because a lot on social media is just trends that are super easy to hop on cus it’s hyped up. It takes a lot of time but that’s part of the process. A lot of people don’t take the time to know who they really are till they old. And the feeling u get when u finally really know what you love and value is amazing :D
I learned to be myself by first knowing my vibration my essence and what really resonate with. It’s was pretty hard to me to found out because in this world there so much stimulation from outside people who are « themselves » lol and you can be lost in their vibes and essences or their ego etc. I try my best to stay in my vibe to alway be myself. Thank you for your work and what you share I needed this help like many people.
That is so true, in this social media era we are so exposed to other people's personnality that it makes it easy to forget and lose ourselves if we have not strong idea of who we are
Growing up in school I experienced everything he said, there were times I was actually better than most and good enough but not included on the list. Now as I’m older and look back at it I have a fuck then mentality
I admire those who are able to be themselves in todays society , especially unapologetically.
I love Tyler so much! ❤ I love his confidence & the faith he has in himself!!!!! Such an inspiration
I love everything about Tyler he's funny he's kind he's confident he's an ass lol he's intelligent he's none judgmental he's talented just all around a unique individual and I love how he is just himself at all times he's so cool to me lol love it
This might be single best video I have ever seen. Especially as a fellow artist also doing rap the "do it and move on", "that idea has brought us here" and "don't get married with stuff". The more I write the more I write, even "I'm probably talking in circles" - I just feel so understood. I was looking forward to finally really click with Tylers infamous wisdom and genius. Let's see what that discography talks.
🧡🧡🧡
I love Tyler the creator and seeing this really makes my day. Also I love being myself too.
I'm a new fan and this dude speaks to me like no other artist has. I listened to some of his stuff like a year ago but never really dived deep into it. Now that I have I fuckin love this guy.
In the end of the day, You choose how you make your life out to be and what you set out to do for yourself. I’m an illustrator and a writer and I’ve learned so much just by listening to my thoughts on what I want to do. Yes advice is good for guidance but it cannot hold your hand throughout your journey of self enlightenment as you are your best mentor, but also your worst obstacle to face. Always be you, always be real to yourself no matter what anyone says.
This is so wise. Would buy ur book XXX
this is a great channel man. helps me not get too lost and focus on myself and be myself. its hard being a creative, not to be swayed by the world around us. Trying not to be slaves or puppets to such an oppressive force the world is. thank you.
The best thing I’ve done in my life thus far is be my authentic self choose your happiness over others living in the idea of others is such a miserable thing and as long as you don’t have your own form of individuality you’ll be trapped in that cycle
One of my greatest inspirations.. troncat, yonkers, bastard etc. All shaped me. One love brother
Love these videos. I feel like there’s a takeaway I was constantly seeing here to various. Taking yourself seriously is your most important asset and your biggest downfall. Finding the balance of confidence and humility is a common trend in some of the most iconic artists and is a very hard balance to reach. Many great artists failed by losing that balance on both sides and it’s a battle everyone faces. Thanks again for sharing and best of luck to anyone reading!
The second the video starts he just goes off with "My whole life I felt like a stepchild". First 2 seconds and just. . . damn.
PLEASE Keep making these! So many good messages for young artists like me! :)
Joined Drama class and they said he was too hyper?!?!?! Wouldn't you call that a bit DRAMAtic?
Lol
Here's the thing. How many people have to go around believing they are amazing and creative people to have just one of them to be make it. I mean, when you listen to Tyler, he makes it sound like if we follow our own paths we will all be happy and successful. Yeah, it worked for him. The people who follow their dreams while trying to be real and end up getting crushed tend to not get video montages made with their thoughts. They just leave bitter comments below. 😊
LOVE YOU TYLER!
Upload more videos! I love this kind of motivational content!
I always find it weird when Tyler the creator fans call me weird for being myself
Best ost from cult of the lamb
Agreed
Truly, one of the songs in the soundtrack to ever.
I love Tyler, I simply just learn from him.
Keep the videos, appreciated it
Great video!!! Thanks for advices from great talents
tyler would have a great day job as a motivational speaker
“There’s no higher powers” is really wild to say. God is the ultimate creator and He is the best creator and we are made in His image and that’s why we are all able to be creative in the way we are and it saddens my heart to hear whoever was talking around 3:09 saying there’s no higher powers helping Tyler but in reality and the truth is, it’s the true God in heaven who made the heavens and earth that made Tyler so creative
It's easy being yourself when you're extremely talented.
You sound insecure
@@guera2003 Insecure how? Tyler has won the genetic lottery when it comes to rapping, not everyone is born with a voice like that. Alot of hard work goes into getting where he is atm but there are thousands of other rappers who put in the same amount of work and get nowhere. That's why getting advice about being yourself from people who are insanely naturally talented is stupid.
@@timwatley4793 Yeah you sound mad insecure. You can really do anything you want to. This is sad lol
@@guera2003 Oh okay, in that case I think I will become the next Usain Bolt, nah actually I'll just be a better version of Luciano Pavarotti. It should be easy considering there is no such thing as genetics anymore.
@@timwatley4793 how do yk you’re not talented if you’re not willing to try? don’t waste your time living believing you were born without purpose and go find it
I like this guy's energy.
I like the idea of "carry yourself with leadership-like qualities and you can follow yourself"
It feels like the motto from Gurren Lagann, "Believe in the me that believes in you, believe in the you that believes in yourself"
He is so well spoken
He's wise. Thanks for the vid
thanks for stitching these clips together
Love his words and his stuff
why is this in the cult of the lamb ost playlist
He is actually one of your cultists
Keep up the great work! These videos are so great!
Love these videos so far, thanks bro!
so people who don't see their own value, won't see the value in others.
Either you learn to keep going, or you get convinced to stop.
Radicals is forever my favorite song because it taught me to be myself and fuck others opinions and do what I wanna do in life. Ever since listening to radicals my first time i started writing scripts and making my own shirts and designs.RADICALS MY ANTHEM SO TURN THE FUCKING AMPS UP!!!!
If people can accept a person who’s trying to be someone they’re not but can’t accept you for being yourself then they ain’t worth the time, don’t be someone for someone else’s standards because your being unfair on yourself.
As a creative struggling with this same topic I really needed this
Ty for this also nice beat at the end, keep going
Thanks Tyler, your appreciated. Too bad teachers didn't encourage that back in the day. Usually we were told 'your not...' which usually pushed us 'to do'.
What's this doing in the cult of the lamb ost playlist?
He probably accidently saved this into his newest playlist aka the ost playlist
I was stuck in a lame situationship for three months, I have an addictive personality meaning that if im presented to something I DONT LET THAT SHI GO. Being in it consumed me tho. I completly lost myself. I don't even remember what I used to do before him, my whole life for these past 3 months was him. We were toxic together. He kept telling me he wasnt ready for a relationship, found out he was texting other girls so he got blocked. My friends kept telling me he was sad and shit and regreted the way he treated me so I gave the mf a chance. We flirted and we dated for 1 fucking day. Cuz the mf said he still wasn't ready. In my innocence I decided to wait for him. My friends started telling me I needed to let him go. My own sister told me I've chnaged for the worst. I started to compare myself nonstop, take pictures of myself, check my appearance constantly. I never did that shit because I knew that someone out there would like me for me because I knew what I could give. Moral of the story: Don't change for nobody. Do the shit you wanna do. I became basic asf for this mf and it wasn't worth it at all because he still looks at other girls, I became hateful towards my loved ones. I messed up my whole life because of this one guy. I was up fr. I just hope I get back to that same high. I dont even know why im here typing this but if your seeing this don't wait to be loved, be the love and love those around you because we don't stay here that long, I love you peace.
genuinly some really good advice.
don't know much about Tyler,
but i'm willing to listen to more of his newer stuff.
What song are they listening to at 2:57?
He’s one of my favorites
Incredible work, both tyler and u thanks
That's Top Tier Voice. Perfect Voice for Podcasts.
As a black kid adopted by Colombians since birth raised in the suburbs vs the hood I felt so fucking alien and still do within my society. I thank God everyday for the music this man made early in his career and the hype OF brought to hip hop during my middle/high school years being nothing but a metalhead hearing his beats and lyricism was a breath of fresh air and till this day Bastard and Goblin have helped get me through shit times. OFWGKTA. OF TIL’ I OD AND I PROBABLY WILL…
getting kicked out of theatre for being “too hyper” is an achievement I’ve never even thought of
3:13 can someone tell me what that song is called? The one that's playing in the background
I need to know
It’s kalis uchis but idk the name
@@sebastianharvey157 OH thank u, i found it
@@taati3508what is it ?
Seeing Tyler and A$AP together in that old clipped almost made me tear up... such an iconic era in hip hop
Its just so good listen Tyler speak, his voice sound badass af
The opportunity we got today is like no other, the fact he just said he got kicked out of a band class cause he couldn't read music is crazy. Nowadays we in school playing with a quarter of a million$ worth of instruments and Skilling up for free. No sheet music just raw talents
Nothing but facts you were born an original don't die a copy.
This one's good, thanks for compiling this up. Cheers! Not a Tyler fan or nothing, just appreciate forms of art.
Your channel finna be huge bro, don't stop!
you know what, the first frase was usefull, there are places where i belong, there are things i'm good at, yet i shoud do what i want and love
too true, be ya self watever
Where is this Tyler and ASAP interview clip is from ? I can't find the original
Tyler the creator always very different from the rest and doing his own thing and stay in his own lane and thats why he is beautiful human being. Respect💯🔥
Being yourself is not always the best option if youre an asshole. Sometimes it's worth to make chage
Love this! keep it up :)
your videos are honestly the best Ive seen, I'm really glad I cam across your channel fr
keep making more of these!
We live in a world where you fear being yourself because your “Weird or Strange” Which makes you happier being, acting or dressing like other people who have no goals or passions or being who you are and getting genuine respect from genuine people, I’ll leave this here for you decide
Man I love Tyler. I vibe with exactly what he’s saying. Thanks for uploading this compilation. 💚🚀
I like how you're asking for advice on how to be yourself
These are such beautiful words. Thank you Tyler ❤
If you need advice on how to be yourself, than you're already doing something wrong, you could be surrounding yourself with people who you can't be your true self around. Or also you're way too worried about what other people think about your personality, so you dumb yourself down to a lesser version of YOU. Stop caring about other opinions when it comes to your character just smile more and enjoy life, the right people will follow behind who are just like you cause they admire you.
Being yourself in the acceptable way. Lets not be self righteous
Great compilation, this series you got going here is a blessing for people like me trying to simply better inform our day to day decisions with some new insight. A lot of good advice in this vid.
I was his fan, I'm even more fan if possible now. ❤️
Tyler the creative is soooo talented, he definitely is an inspiration of mine. Loiter Squad influenced me with it's raw humor. Our own Jack Ass lol.
People: be yourself
*Me being a recluse, a creative, tech nerd, fandom fanatic, and a nerd who doesn’t care about anyone rlly*: mkay
Also people: no not like that
Lmao I learned I was better doing what I thought was best, because for most being yourself still means conforming to social standards and win the rat race for a nice settlement
this is an amazing idea for a channel. i think all creative people can use videos like this.
