Tyler the Creator has NO hit records and is officially overrated.

[Patrick Kane]

He’s weird and thats good enough for the kids. He’s kid cudi that can fill out bar structure

Except Kid Cudi has better albums, more hit records and reached a higher peak. Guys like Carti, Trippie, Travis Scott, Juice, all massive artists in their own right were heavily inspired by Cudi (and have said so) There’s no current modern artists that Tyler DNA in that’s poppin.

He's a better rapper off the strength of writing his own lyrics and he's a superior artist (produces/composes his own and other people's music, can hop genres because he's so diverse, etc)

You nikkas out of your mind

 

[Patrick Kane]

You nikkas out of your mind

He really doesn’t even believe that shyt

 

[No Hook]

I agree with him being overrated but not the hit records part

I actually like some of Tyler’s raps but he is not nor was ever a better rapper than Earl and I even think Earl is somewhat overrated

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

Tyler the creator is a character.. I don’t take him serious and appreciates when he has a good verse.

 

[The Villain]

He's definitely overrated af but he's still popular even if he doesnt have any "hits"

 

[Liu Kang]

Earfquake was a hit

Do you need hit records anymore?

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Dude has multiple platinum singles and he has no hit records

You nikkas are fukking retarded man

he kinda has a point tho.. his fan base is 100% emo cac's.

he doesnt have a mainstream song that the average fan knows.

 

[Reptile]

Hes definitely overrated.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

He's a bedroom artist

If this is you hurry up and trademark it

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Mf said Tetsuo and Youth is a masterpiece You nikkas really need to log off the internet for a while and go talk to real people outside

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

The one that goesss

“Sword sliced the air I pulled out the nana”

Now she tryna patch me up but
I was just tryna get a nut bust

Oh lawd frank ocean snapped on that one

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Earfquake was a hit

This is his best song, but would probably be an iconic one if someone who could sing sung it. Brings me back to my comparison about the and Gambino - he's elevated some of his songs with his performance while I think Tyler has a very low ceiling.

Thinking about Tyler's career I'd say - imagine Pharrell if we only measured him by the songs he fronted? We don't. We have all these great artists who have elevated his ideas.

Tyler isn't as good a front man as Kanye or as good a producer as the Neptunes. He would probably make real magic with a good collaborator who was a better recording/performance artist.

I liked his verse on the Clipse album. But why does he get a pass for being gay but still talking about hoes?
