Tyler The Creator On The Royal Wedding: “Who The F–k Is That? N—a, I Am From…America”
Posted by Miss Info under About Miss Info , Laugh At , Photos , Quotes , Videos[18] Comments
So according to insiders, Odd Future and team caught a $2.5 million check with that Sony/RED pressing and distribution deal. Now P&D deals are the only thing RED does, so the issues of masters ownership and control weren’t really a problem. But this is certainly a huge number for a crew with such a meteoric rise to recognition.
Meanwhile, Tyler the Creator appears on the cover of British music magazine NME’s irreverent “God Save Us From Kate & Wills” issue. The pull quote is only part of Tyler’s “never mind the bollocks” attitude….just watch the behind the scenes video from the cover shoot…
NME: Will and Kate and their upcoming wedding? No?
Tyler: Who the f–k is that? N—a, I’m from Compton.

Aside from the Royal Wedding talk, Tyler also gives the prerequisite oddball list of party favorites: little people, Waka Flocka, white women….cue kooky act, and go.

We like this kid…cause he just doesn’t give a fuck (about the fake shit,even if it’s just youthful pretense; which I kind of think @ the end of it all…it will be); his collective (regardless what you think) are creative and they are making business sense. Go’head Tyler… KILL’EM ALL!

You kind of replied to your own questions.. Sony has a weak track record with rap and Odd Future and there team knew that.. So they gave them a list of things they needed to make the deal make sense to them.. One side is hungery to matter in hip hop the other side is looking to control the all things concered with their music
April 27th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
i wouldnt say those are different sides, though – I think Tyler’s hunger to control his output is just as strong as his hunger to win a grammy or be seen as someone that matters. i doubt Sony’s track record with rap mattered as much as them having complete control, and essentially just signing a P&D.

The rest of the world cares coz deep down inside they miss being conquered by the Brits! haha

Who is this guy? I seriously havent heard of him. Oh, no he doesnt care about the royal wedding?? Whatever shall we do, we cant carry on without him. (Include sarcasm). Being a non biased Englishman, i read that america has more coverage than the us in the wedding, so hes a jackass for being out of the loop.
April 28th, 2011 at 10:18 am
Whoop! Im thankful for the 4 Day Weekend!
But one minute Tyler is saying “fuck the establishment” and the next hes saying he “wants to win awards & be an icon”. Why would he care about what the awards associations think if he’s saying “fuck everyone”?
April 28th, 2011 at 1:06 pm
Wow, that’s so controversial. I don’t fault him for not caring, but they didn’t need to slap it on a mag cover like he’s a rebel. Lame. I’m half English and I’m watching tomorrow. Haaa.
April 28th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
so Tyler’s a rebel now? How daring of him to criticize the royal wedding!!!
WOWWWWW
lmao
April 29th, 2011 at 9:42 am
Haha. I don’t give a fuck about a Royal Wedding either.
April 29th, 2011 at 5:10 pm
I guess once he has earnt the right to win an award, he also earns the right to slate them?

You can’t discount Sony’s past dealings with rap as a company when you factor in the fact that they gave a group with no sales history full control and the key to this news their masters..
This deal in the day and age of a 360 deal in something pepole with far more knowledge in music then I have all said full creative control for a new artist is out of the question with less people buying and more free downloading… And sorry to go back but they got there masters if you know what that means then you understand how huge that is in music.. Only a had full of artist can say they own the right to there music…
