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

[Stone]

Had just as big of a crowd pop as Kendrick at the Pop Out last year

We consume music differently now, most people listening to different shyt

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

He was clowned and not considered hip hop for the longest and then one day he was like Pharrell Jr. or some shyt

Ya nikkas listening to this

Odd Future always had fans breh, he was considered a troll but no hip hop is crazy lmao.

 

[Peter Parker]

See you again is like 6 times platinum

 

[Sir ZDuke]

Comparing Tyler’s catalog to Pharrell’s is as ridiculous as comparing Pharrell’s to Q-Tip’s. The former is greatly inspired by the latter, and they’re completely different artistes making music in completely different eras.

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

I think the idea is to cultivate a Los Angeles regional ICP like cult fanbase - more so than hit records for contemporary audiences

He’ll have his seasons

 

[Jasonmask]

You know you can just say you don’t like him or his music instead of this bs his music isn’t for me either but he has a base that will sell that’s okay you know that right not everyone is going to like what you like if you haven’t been taught that already

 

[Omerta]

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)

Exactly, I was buggin out at this.

Hasn’t it been proven at least like 10 times that Drake uses ghostwriters and ref tracks guiding him step by step how to rap these tracks? Wasn’t it proven even his ghostwriters use rap apps to make his songs words rhyme?

You can like “Drake’s” music but you cannot say he’s better than any real artist or rapper. wtf??

 

[Fani Willis fan]

The only people I know who like Tyler in real life are non-black people and they're gen z.

 

[dubsmith_nz]

Did you see the crowd reaction to "Earfquake" at The Pop Off? The crowd went nuts.

You don't sell as many records and sell out as many concerts as Tyler does without hits. He's big internationally as well.

 

[Rasille]

Wasn’t Sticky a hit?

 

[mbewane]

this is a huge reason he's so popular.

If he was 100% heterosexual and a "normal" brotha folks wouldnt be checking for him like that.

His image matches what the current generation wants to be attached to

He's been in the game for like 15 years what "current generation" are you talking about?

Yonkers, See You Again and Earfquake are def hits. New Magic Wand was big too even though it wasn't a single.

He got some good songs but a lot of repetitive shyt. Most his shyt sound like See You Again, Earfquake, New Magic Wand or Wusyaname in different ways. Ever since Flower Boy he been recyclin his best shyt in different ways. He try too hard to be this artistic nikka and in real life I only know cacs, hipsters and weird cornball brehs that listen to him specially the ones that was Odd Future fans from jump it was always those odd nikkas bumpin they shyt lol

I ain't ever seen him compared to Ye or Pharrell if people really puttin him in those convos they cacs or lil nikkas that ain't even lived through most of Ye or Pharrell career. He not anywhere up there at all.

The Pharell talk is only because Neptunes is a huge self-admitted influence on Tyler. No one is saying that he's actually as big/succesfull as Pharell (or Ye).

 

[HabitualChiller]

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.

I mean, by this logic, Kendrick would be wack because there aren't any current, non-related artists that are blatantly influenced by him.

shock value folks of the Odd Future years and the rainbow set of now

 

[radio rahiem]

Dude just did a couple of sold out shows at MSG, a week ago. A self-produced platinum artist who started out recording in his bedroom, with a cult following and mad accolades.

But on here, he's not successful, lol.

I was at his Brooklyn show. The crowd was all in once Tyler came on. People love that man and his music. I’m only a casual fan at most. But the crowd! OMG!

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

i had no idea there was a tyler and kanye/pharrell comparison...that is nuts...tyler is talented but he is nowhere near kanye or pharrell. there's level to this and tyler is way below those two and it's not a bad thing. kanye and pharrell are just that good so the narrative of tyler being the next kanye or pharrell is goofy and sounds like some media manipulation BS.

if tyler wasn't from LA he wouldn't be half as popular as he is now.
