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

[trillanova]

Tyler never had a hit record. He has cult records that are popular with people who are in his sphere but not one hit ever.

He’s always been fake edgy weirdo try hard status especially as of late. He’s trying to spin the block with real culture trying to fool the people that it’s who he is. Nah, it’s what he’s trying to morph into a a safety net to save his career and relevancy and it makes me so happy to see people calling it out.

A million artists in the world and you choose to focus on complaining about the ones you don't like lol

If he's overrated, why make him the topic of your conversation?

Tyler entire shtick was white frat boy humor and white horrorcore.

It's funny how he's trying to do the opposite of sellout. He's not trying to resonate with the "culture". It started with the DJ drama tape.

And yet he's going to do a stadium tour next year. I hope that's a lesson to certain people on what is "hot" and what isn't. Time to update the bullshyt way we discuss popularity and music.

He changed his career and fanbase with Flower Boy and it exploded his popularity.

The responses in this thread aren't surprising given the average age range and the general contrarian thought this site has.

Personally, I think he is a great artist and his growth and love for his craft has been shown since Flower Boy.

Pitchfork likes him

There's a disconnect on the forum because people assume he's just been the same artist from beginning to end. Flower Boy is when he really leaned into the more serious artist lane and got more popular. A lot of his current fans (who are mainly women, lots of Asians and Hispanics alongside white people) don't even fukk with his old shyt. I'm not absolving Tyler's previous comments or behavior. The self hatred was evident and probably still is on some level of his personal life. But I think this entire blow up is about something beyond race...I think it's about the behavior of zoomers moreso than "white people." The hyper-fixation, the obsession with demanding your favorite celebrity do exactly what you want him/her to do at all times, the performative way they impress each other with cruelty via social media, etc. They're telling him to shut up and drop an artsy album we want to hear lol. It's loser shyt, it's brain rot etc etc.

And I think other people, seeing this blow up, have decided to whip out the 2016 playbook and try to cancel Tyler, which isn't going to work.

Hate to say it but this is true.

The OF antics wouldn’t hit the same now that he is literally in his mid 30s because the end game is to turn 40 an act like Kanye and we see where that got him.

But morphing into a “deep” Black culture champion, putting lesser known urban artists on while jumping on projects with Erykah Badu, Black Coffee, a random track with Chaka Khan or Solange and doing the Kendrick Pop Out magically puts you in a different space — the kind of space that OutKast, Tribe, Badu, Bilal and many others ate off for years.

I completely agree with the bolded

The interview shows how he sees himself as a musician and not just someone who raps and tries to make hit songs.
