Tyler The Creator: Sick,Artist, Genius or Just Plain Wrong?



I'll crash that fxckin' 'Airplane' that faggot nigga B.o.B is in
And stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn oesophagus — Tyler, the Creator


Not a surprising statement coming from the young artist as Tyler, the Creator is becoming well known across the world for his playful lyrical content and dark energy tracks. His big hit video Yonkers (above) is by far one on the most disturbing video I have seen, but weirdly like by myself and many others. The video begins with troubled Tyler sitting alone in a vacant room rapping Passionately whilst a cockroach moves repulsively across his hand with the word
"KILL" as well as an up side down crucifix . Moments after the cockroach is devoured by Tyler, swallowed, then pleasantly heaved back up for the viewers. But the eccentric acts do not stop there as the his eyes then turn black from the normal state followed by blood excreting from his nose just before he hangs himself. :/ (This dude isn’t right)


It is safe to say that this young man has serious problems but at the same time his lyrical content is genius. His attitudes towards life and peoples thoughts are rebellious and defiant which could be one of the reasons why I find Tyler interesting. He expresses his opinions and emotions through his rap and videos that is also why listeners and viewers find Tyler a peculiar being. As much as I like Tyler as an artist and person, there are some elements of his lyrical word play that I do not agree with due to religious reasons and others. Majority of Tyler’s music is usually about his hate or his father which is not surprising as there are a lot of people out there that have the same emotion making it easy to relate to, but when talking about raping females and taking drugs so openly is an unorthodox for one to admit so openly as well as mocking Jesus Christ and other religions.
There are many aspects to Tyler, the Creator’s music that can have anybody swaying from both for and against his rebellious movement, but by listening more to what he has to say and the reason why he say’s them allows me to see an artistic side to Tyler, not just a twisted one.



After watching this interview on Tyler I then took a diverse way of thinking towards his style of rapping. There are people like Tyler that say similar things all the time, if not worse, its because his thoughts are now public and is able to be seen by everyone which is why some people find him to be a sick twisted individual. If it wasn’t for my love of the creative industry and arts then I too would be against Tyler, the creator, but I find him to be a sick genius whose art is just plain wrong.
