I’m as big of a Tyler fan as the next but he doesn’t take the rap art form as serious for me to take him seriously as a top 10 RAPPER
he even says he’s “not a rapper” and really wants to be a singer. and he often acts like he hates rappers/Rap/hip hop culture whether it’s being sarcastic or not I dunno
now if we’re talking just a creative individual in HIPHOP and impact he’s up there
considering clothing, directing, designing, rapping, writing, producing, trying to sing, performing, etc.... he’s one of the best and most successful
but I still think he’s too much a product of his own influences and that his major criticism especially from his OG fans
