“They don’t let shit like that on a platform like that. “The Grammy I was excited to win – cool, whatever – but executing that performance was all I gave a fuck about,” he shared with yesterday’s audience. The musician’s performance was the night’s most triumphant moment – performing “NEW MAGIC WAND” and “EARFQUAKE” while flanked by blond-wigged clones in matching pink and red suits. If you look, my body language is fucking annoyed, because people keep asking me fucking questions and I don’t know where none of my n– are, bro! That was not that fun!” “I didn’t know they were filming, I just thought the quote would come out in the magazines. Tyler then went on to say that he was unaware he was being filmed for the post-acceptance speech in which he made the stand-out statement.

I’m like, ‘bro where’s my friends? Where’s Clancy (Tyler’s manager)?’ I got nobody to hug!” We’ll do one section of press – alright, cool, whatever. “They said, ‘come back here, we’re gonna talk to a few magazines, and then you’ll be out. This moment happened, and I’m not with anyone I’m usually with!”

I have two security guards but one isn’t with me… I didn’t really know anybody. “When I got the award, they said, ‘come this way’ – I went through a weird backdoor… I’m not with Jasper (Dolphin, his frequent collaborator), I don’t know where the fuck my mom went. But anyway, I got most of it out… it was nice though,” he said. I forgot the whole thing that I was going to say. I didn’t know she was coming on stage, I got on the mic and then she hugged me – I was like ‘aw, what the fuck!’. “I didn’t have a speech, but I had points that I really wanted to make – but my mom was so excited, it threw me the fuck off. Speaking yesterday, Tyler gave more context, first discussing the moment he won and his acceptance. After the interview, Tyler was praised, he remembers, as a “hero” for calling out the undercurrents of racism. Specifically, he questioned the use of the ‘rap’ and ‘urban’ categories and their racist connotations in the awards ceremony sphere. The six friends – Tyler the Creator, Hodgy Beats, Left Brain, Casey Veggies, Matt Martians, Jasper Dolphin – went on to recruit more and more people through the group’s life cycle, from the likes of Earl Sweatshirt to Frank Ocean.After winning his first Grammy, taking home the prize for Best Rap Album with IGOR, the musician spoke to the press about his reservations about the genre category he won in. What was a group made up of teenage friends having fun, messing around and making music together, quickly progressed into a national treasure, being the west-coast counterpart to Rocky’s A$AP Mob which was founded only one year prior. Prior to becoming globally known for his alternative rap music, fashion sense and undeniable comedy value, Tyler first emerged onto the music scene as the figurehead of Odd Future. With such a longstanding career in the industry, we’ve been able to see Tyler grow from a 15 year old kid to a 30 year old superstar, and the personal development – think musically, stylistically, and attitude – has been astonishing. Tyler the Creator has an endless list of accolades and credits – rapper, singer, songwriter, fashion designer, producer, actor – and has been on the scene for 15 years now.
