Tyler The Creator

There's a lot that can be said about Tyler The Creator... he's gone from the fringes of underground Hip-Hop to the mainstream losing no followers really in the process.  People that don't even listen to Hip-Hop listen to him including hard-core enthusiasts, yuppies, hood figgaz, and hipsters alike.  He does seem to put girls off (apparently his shows are heavily unbalanced)... but that's even changing as he gets more and more media attention because people are starting to see the winning smile and boyish swag behind the intimidatingly deep voice and 'Tech-9 meets early Eminem'-esque lyrics (not to mention his own bust-ya-in-yo-mouth beats---- he makes his own beats or steals a popular one for a mixtape).  Tyler is next in a big way.  The 19-year old straight age from L.A. attended 12 different schools in 12 years of schooling,  I try not to cringe when people around me mention his name... it's a good thing I guess.  I've liked him a lot from the first moment I heard him, but seeing him on magazine covers on a rack with reese witherspoon and justin beiber on neighboring covers still catches me off guard.  Yours Truly conducted this interview with Tyler and I think it really emphasizes the fact that we donno shit about whats next from him and OFWGKTA. GOBLIN drops may 10th... and fuck 2DopeBoyz.
