Tyler The Creator Becoming A Black Militant?

[Poitier]

Recently, Tyler has begun to take this glamorized imagery, and the lifestyle it represents, to task. On the collection of songs he's currently recording, he offers up heavy-handed indictments of gang culture and rapper consumerism, calling them detrimental not just to the progress of his race, but to humanity as a whole. He recites a minute-long, white-knuckle verse from a demo he refers to as "Run" that condemns cyclical gang violence: Oh you the big nikka? Took a hit, nikka?/ Well, I hope you understand you ain't shyt, nikka/ Cause them nikkas' whole purpose is to get nikkas/ And make sure that your momma cry the pain out. On "Keep the O's," another work-in-progress, he stabs an index finger at his rap peers, mocking an extravagance he sees as being built on debt: Your garden is full from raking these hoes/ A handful of green and a couple of stones/ Your lawnmower's foreign, you rent you a home/ But nikka how much of that shyt do you own?

Also looks like OF is dissipating

And criticizing gang culture and consumerism doesn't make him a black militant.

Post a song about crack dealers from the 70s as a weak ass rebuttal
And ownership and speaking out against violence are talking points in Black conscious communities

The Black Militant part was tongue and cheek but that would skip past an idiot

I wasn't rebutting anything with the song, I was pointing out that he's done shyt where he's spoken about ills in the black community.

And the song isn't about crack dealers from the 70s, it was inspired by an interview he did with Nas where he talked about selling crack and how the shyt fukked with him.

But I'll let you continue....

tyler has always hated the whole gang culture since OF blew up

Good article

not surprised at anything going on with Odd Future. When that shyt started they were just teens. Of course shyt will change over time.

Nobody has benefited more from this than Domo though. He's been on his shyt the last year or so
