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 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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Coming back 9 years later to say I was like 15 watching these videos of Tyler, obsessed is an understatement. I idolized this man like a deity to me. I almost still do. I’m so glad I felt so strongly about him. He shaped me. I am the way I am because of him. The first time I saw him live on Flower Boy, I was at the main front. Fought to be there. As soon as he came on the stage I passed out. Tyler you are everything to me. I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of myself too. If you’re ever reading this: you’ll make it like pickles.
@@f00kiebookie Lol, I’m just being hypocritical. I wouldn’t ruin his day either but I’m basically that guy from the song. Tyler is such an inspiration to me. I can relate to black kids calling me white for listening to rock. I just feel Tyler on another level it seems like.
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...)
He's an artist. He is creating something while you just sit there and use things all day instead of making others consume. He knows how to play the game is funking concious about that.
This kid is a fricken genius. Kudos to him for stickin to his guns as far as lifestyle goes and just being an artist. He cusses. So what? He is the most inspirational artist in the music business and knows it but doesn't let him get to him and knows it. Love him
tyler's personality seems awesome, just kinda kicks it and does his own thing while not giving a shit with what others think. just does what he thinks is considered great, i fucking love it
Tyler says the truth about what he feels and doesn't give a fuck about what anything thinks or says about him that is what i basically comes down to... people make a big deal out of what he does because they aren't used to a famous person acting like this... they always expect every famous person is gong to be the same.
you really think if you were a professional musician that you wouldn't want to strive for VMAs, Grammys, and other awards? I swear to God that every artist that you listen either wants was extremely proud of when they received their first Grammy.
Theyre still around. They never left. Lil wayne is the biggest illuminatic rapper out there. Actually Lil Wayne doesnt even deserve to be called a rapper
I really didn't care for Tyler or his music, but in this interview he's made me believe that he's different from the rest. He jokes a lot, says a lot of absurd shit in his songs but he's making a point. We all have that dark side and it just so happens that he puts it out there and its such a taboo to pretty much everyone. This guy is going places for sure.
Yeah after watching this and seeing him act serious, and at least verbally commit to maturing and continuing to improve as a rapper im actually looking forward to seeing it now
I can only think of a few things Tyler could do to make me stop liking him. I'm not really into his music like I used be but I could still listen to him talk for hours.
People wouldn't have understood that Yonkers was about a rapist back in the day and how many years ago it was cause some people don't know of those stories so they think the shit you say in songs you just randomly came up with to make a catchy song. You need to know the story to understand the references being made in the song. But I feel Tyler
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
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
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.
“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
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.

@@abcxyz53 shut the fuck up and take your miserable ass somewhere around someone who actually cares about your misery. Lol
The best part is even if he didnt have major success he would prob still be doing it
@@omegalilbchass8270 yep I believe that. Even as he evolved over the years, he has consistently stayed true to himself.
What movie was he in?
@@OddSelfDestructivehe don’t need a movie role to be successful as he is rn 😂
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 😭

This comment was amazing, my man.
***** I found you.
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
He's a deviant. I like deviants. He does what likes and he doesn't give a shit what you or me thinks.

perfect
True that bro
+Adrian Macabeo Deviant, as in he is sexual? That's what Deviant means departed from usual, and shit.
Madara Uchiha Deviant not sexual deviant. Two completely different terms. He's different. Not of the standard norm. He deviates away from normalities.
This isnt detroit become human
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

You kids that are just watching this, should've watched it back in 2011 when he was just starting to shine. Thats when I think music changed 100%
my nigga tyler a hero
Everything he says relates to me in some way. He reminds me of myself so much.
Me 2

"Why do I gotta be a whiteboy? Why can't I just be a human?"
I just love how he sees stuff diffrent, because we all see the same stuff but Tyler he is a game changer!
"Why can't I just be a fucking human being?"
this has got to be the most serious interview ive ever seen tyler give.
The fact that it has been 3 years wow love this interview forever
I REMEMBER WATCHING HIS VIDEOS ON MTV WHEN I WAS 9
Tyler the creator be saying real shit though
I love this foos attitude n his way of thinking
2018 he is an icon
2019 he's still an icon
2020 icon wants to be tyler
2021 he's a legend
“Fuck this underground Bullshit”
And now flowerboy is out, its called progression.
How so?
@@JoshuaFreakyVenomFan the best album of the year that's how.
“hungry for vmas and grammys thats my main goal” he accomplished those goals 🥳
Damn! Tyler can half cab heel?
Dude iv seen you comment on other Tyler interviews your everywhere
It scares me that so many people find him so intelligent.
Because he actually is. Its closed minded people like you who can't see that he is actually a genius.
Kevin Davis
He's certainly no genius. He's better than most generic rappers, though,
Not even close, he knows his shit doesn't make sense.
MrClownDroid
if you still think this you don't know him or his music well enough to tell when he's being serious and when he's not
I know his music and what it means.
Not very good
He's an artist. He is creating something while you just sit there and use things all day instead of making others consume. He knows how to play the game is funking concious about that.
Not better than Tupac
Depends on what your into. You can't just say that: This guy ain't better than the guy I like the most heuwheuhehueh. Just no.
Not as good as a rapper but tyler has a more entertaining personality
Nick Sports FUCK YOU I CAN RAP -_-
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.
Now this interview is og asf
He warned us
haha true

Damn, I FINALLY found a interview where Tyler was serious.
Tyler is one o the bests he made it, he got his Grammys and VMAs!
This is definitely the best interview with Tyler.
That's my fucking hero
Society weeps for you
this is the best interview i have ever seen in my life.
Tyler fuckin real man. Mad props to you
My senior quote
Tyler is Real when u really talk to him
I love him even more now because i found out he likes slipknot.
Never realized this till know but hes one of the realist artists out there
This guys so chill I love his music
The only reason ik about tyler was because this song was in a WRX gf8 edit, thank goodness i found that edit...
"ima go get on my trampoline and fuckin watch cartoon network" lmao what a legend
Yeah after watching this and seeing him act serious, and at least verbally commit to maturing and continuing to improve as a rapper im actually looking forward to seeing it now
this dude is the nicest dude
Not a big fan of Tyler as a rapper but I couldn't agree more with what he says in this interview
I love how he doesn't give a fuck.
i just realized tyler the creator made 5-panel hats big
i wish he would do more serious interviews so we would get a better understanding of him
I can only think of a few things Tyler could do to make me stop liking him. I'm not really into his music like I used be but I could still listen to him talk for hours.
i wish people would stop saying "all this rap about money clothes bitches"
extend you're artist list and you won't here it --__--
only takes watching like 4 odd future live vids to figure out that tyler doesnt "hate parties"
His voice. >>>>
Franky got his Grammy . OF will get theirs soon .
Holy fuck Tyler listens to SlipKnot that's fucking awesome
was not expecting him to be like that, deep music, shallow guy.
