one of your cutest

[Laughter]

[Music]

homies what did you do today before you

got here what have you been up

to huh what have you been doing today

literally today I was just at the office

doing what I woke up I saw my mom you

woke up at what time 5:45 to do what oh

you want me to I want to know what a day

in the life of Tyler this like a normal

day woke up at 5:45 to do what to look

at some photos I put some betting out I

announced betting with parachute out

today some sheets and like bedding that

I made had to look at those photos do

some back and

forth ran on the treadmill for 11

minutes uh went to sauna for like

9 and

I showered

yeah saw my mom I love your mom by the

way went to the office walked to get

some food walked back did some stuff ate

a doughnut it was delicious what kind of

dut regular glaze I wanted regular I

want that [ __ ] to have no personality

at

all and then I came here and then ran

into some shirtless

[ __ ] what does your mom mean to you and

your your all your sense of creativity

was your mom creative like that or did

she she let me do what I have real life

only child energy but I have a

sibling look that [ __ ] he was like what

the [ __ ] no I have a I have a sibling

even though but my mom like loves me so

much so she treated you like like true

mama's boy type [ __ ] and she let me kind

of like just be and exist but like was

on my [ __ ] like when I turned 12 she was

like all right [ __ ] after this little

cake I'm going to teach you how to like

wash your clothes and when you turn 14

you going to apply for a job so when you

turn 15 your workers permitted like she

raised me on some like independent be on

my own [ __ ] but also like I got so many

hugs the older I get the more I realize

a lot of [ __ ] didn't get a lot of hugs

as children and I got so much from my

mom and I'm so blessed and so grateful

that like I grew up in a house full of

love do she know creativity would be a

job for you or did she just think you

was this cool little weird son you know

what you going to

say did she just think oh I got this

little cool weird son you know what you

say I'm let him flourish Maverick think

I'm a

little but he don't want to say that cuz

he like his job I'll say it for you this

[ __ ] Maverick think I'm

little and it's okay no I want to know

do she really think you could be who you

are and like make a job of that [ __ ] I

think every parent has a bit of delusion

they're like oh my son is going to be

gay but also like she's like [ __ ] just

don't be stupid and go to jail yeah play

your little keyboard [ __ ] I got to go

to work type [ __ ] like which is normal

but she's so proud and she's my biggest

fan it's annoying sometimes but you got

to think she farted me out of course of

course so when she sees like this thing

that she made that she made and it's

like winning Awards and like when I do

when I did the Louis Vuitton thing like

she was just she she start crying on the

phone I'm sure and when I got my rle she

started crying yeah that's one of your

songs when you pull up her but the way

that she grew up she never would have

thought she would see one of those

things she grew up in a fight ORF flight

type of environment so to see something

that she farted out do these things and

change lives and be successful and just

stay focused and not you know I haven't

been to jail I don't have a drug problem

I haven't beat no one up I don't have a

sex addiction I'm like

good I'm a good kid in her head and in

real life and like everything I said I

would do I did to her she just like what

the [ __ ] but um a lot of that wouldn't

have been uh possible if she didn't

really put

like the I don't give a fuckness that I

have in me like for real course when did

you know making [ __ ] would be your life

I was a real life child who only cared

about music like on my birthday 6 and S

I just wanted CDs who did you like love

the most you've obviously talked about

farel a lot but who is the one that

stuck out to you earlyer my favorite

[ __ ] was like shade and Erica and things

like that like that's like the base of

where I make music from like Soul stuff

like that um and then Eminem Like You

know you're seven years old

and my name is and guilty conscious

comes on the box I don't know if you

know what the bo do you remember the Box

exactly what the box I think that was

Channel 39 I never got in I've been I

still want to love to call request dude

it's sick right yes and you have that

and he seem he sounds like a cartoon

character if you're seven years old uh

so that was sick but then like what

Missy and timberin was doing at the time

was like incredible Nicole Ray you

remember her she had a record called

eyes better not wander off of her first

album uh Missy and Timlin and those guys

did that album and that's the first

record I heard that's in a 34 count I

don't feel like explaining exactly what

that is but I'll show you later who

taught you all that [ __ ] like where did

you learn music I just learned it

listening and just studying and stuff

piano taught yourself yeah like just

bought one in the crib how did you teach

yourself in the seventh grade I I found

myself printing out she's Alive by Andre

3000 off the love below and thought I

was going to teach myself how to play it

couldn't read music I'm a [ __ ] idiot

so I just learned it by ear and then

from there you go from playing not but

that you must have to be patient as [ __ ]

to hear it and go where is that because

you have to find the sound on the yeah

but patience is relative depending on

what you care about that's true that's

all I wanted to do so like it wasn't

like oh I want to hurry up and do it

like I enjoyed figuring it all out like

probably anyone in the 70s who like

learned an instrument you just learn

[ __ ] once you just go for which is

interesting now it's cheat codes which

is super cool but also like my Boomer

ass is like uh like a kid could just be

like I want to make a song like Pokey

doie and just go to YouTube and do a

tutorial and to me while that is kind of

cool you never develop your own thing

because like you don't spend the time

figuring [ __ ] out and a lot of the stuff

I figured out is just accidents and on

the road to trying to find something

you're like oh I actually I thought I

was going this way something that's a

habit because uh you have the cracked

version of fruity loops and you can only

do this or like my whole first album

bastard I put out in 2009 uh I had a

cracked version of Fruity Loops so you

can't you couldn't save the Beats so I

would have to make a beat or whatever

and then if I had another idea I just

have to export that beat the way it is

and that's it so you can't cuz you

couldn't go back in later on I couldn't

do anything so because of that like

every choice I made was

like what's the word I'm looking for it

starts with an

eye intentional my brain farted thank

you everything was intentional so

because of that like you get a finer ear

for certain choices cuz like damn I got

to leave to the skate park in 15 minutes

which means I have 13 minutes I'm on a

clock to do this [ __ ] and that's like a

yeah a spy with a little bomb like don't

p a ril wire exactly you're going to

[ __ ] the whole thing up one of my

favorite things I ever heard you talk

about was being a rapper you describe

being a rapper which making music and

writing words are mutually exclusive

then they come together where did you

learn that like that being like because

that's different than playing the piano

and what made you want to be a rapper uh

the first raps I wrote I was seven and

it was to the second half of positivity

by uh black IPS on their first album

it's like this bosson NOA instrumental

uh that will Ian put together he's a

genius I'll called him a [ __ ] publicly

uh cuz why' you call times he's a

[ __ ] hot dog well he gets people he

does get on your nerves but I think it's

a part of his character but will I am is

a [ __ ] genius to me and those first

black IPS albums are like crazy he's

super smart and super dialed in and even

his pop black IP stuff uh is Super

Genius Like I Love who I am uh I'm I'm

actually hit him up after this like hey

like I know you probably working on like

an electric scooter or some [ __ ] like

what are you doing

wait so you were saying your first rap

yeah so I wrote to that and I was just

writing about like doing chores and like

[ __ ] that a seven-year old rap about

like [ __ ] I had the ill purple Nintendo

64 there but what I liked was like

whether it was like growing up in La

you'll hear DJ quick or like a ma 10 Ice

Cube Snoop Dog song these songs were

like about things like DJ Qui always

made records about a specific thing like

pitch in on a part is such an ill

concept that that that that balance and

options album is incredible but I love

that album the storytelling from that

and I really loved English uh English

class and like just stories and cartoons

like it's cartoon but it's still a story

so it's still a a and b want to go he's

at home and he needs to get to the store

and you could say all these little

details that happen in between him

getting to the store and like you could

write songs and Raps like that yeah that

I never you make it sound very [ __ ]

easy and simple well no but it is the

structure of it it yeah it's really easy

and simple now if you're cool or good at

the simple thing that's a different

story but fairly easy to tell a story

but when you're writing songs do you

feel like now you're getting better like

when you when you sit and write songs

now or make forget the sound the Pian

the keys the B the drums but like your

words do you feel they're better than

they used to be going back to your old

stuff well that's hard to answer I I

told someone uh that I'm a painter not a

poet so for me like you said forget the

piano and the strings and that but I

write songs so like for me it's the

frame it's the it's the texture of the

brush it's the colors it's not just like

you don't just read my lyrics and be

like oh I get it like I'm not that type

of rapper

like you watch the video and hear the

beat and hear when the drums leave and

how I'm moving and you like oh that's

why I like people seeing me live CU it's

like oh we new magic Wan it's number six

off my eagor album is my favorite song

I've made today that song wasn't as

popular as it was when it first came out

that was a slow burner and every time I

perform that song I let people know hey

this is my favorite song before I do

this song and people will see that song

live and see the energy see how it felt

whether it's the fire see how my legs

move and that song start gaining

traction and popularity because it gave

some people context and a lot of people

who didn't like that song said they saw

it live and was like damn I understand

it now so when you're like well has your

writing got

better yes because I've also gotten

better musically so for me it's not just

lyrics I don't think I'm like a Earl

Sweatshirt or like a JayZ or something

like that do like I'm a you got to look

at the whole thing when it comes to me

and when you make [ __ ] whatever it is

cuz you create all the time and making

[ __ ] but I've heard you a lot of times

say man I'm on my

[ __ ] 25th bridge on this song is that

because you're hard on yourself or is it

because you know not it's just not the

one it's and when you're going through

that process are you beating yourself up

like why the [ __ ] can't I figure this

out no I'm not I'm not like hard on

myself like that I'm just like well I

spent six hours on this one and this one

isn't it but it's still good all right

well I'll get to it and figure it out

cuz you don't operate on the clock

really and you can't art art and time

don't really they don't sync up well it

depends on the person but like I I know

when the shit's done like you just the

the music will tell you what it needs

while you're making it the music tells

me what it needs I can't speak for

everyone what do you get the most joy of

making music clothes designs

photography what brings you the most

Joy I mean music music for sure music

sing cuz I've heard you say sometimes

I'm getting tired man making this

[ __ ] music because it is exhausting

right yeah it's exhaust sometimes these

[ __ ] kids man these [ __ ] get on my

[ __ ] nerves bro what kids all these

[ __ ] kids the internet crazy bro

these kids hack everything and like

listen to the music they want to know

who your sister is and like what you ate

for dinner like mind your [ __ ]

business Go the [ __ ] outside and listen

to the damn art or the music like so

they drive you crazy like [ __ ] like

because the internet people don't know

personal boundaries no more and it's

normal and everyone thinks the [ __ ] is

cute it's like we don't know each other

but then I get called an ungrateful

[ __ ] because I'm like yo I give you

the art I give you the music high five

why are y'all [ __ ] showing up to

doorsteps Why are y'all [ __ ] [ __ ]

hacking this why are y'all follow a nigg

mom's home cuz you like a song you like

a song but you being weird and it's not

even just for me musically it's for a

[ __ ] basketball player soccer actress

but we're fans so because you like a

song or because you like a movie that

gives you the permission to be a [ __ ]

weirdo but we're F no calm your [ __ ]

ass down listen to the song listen to

the s or watch the whatever high five

see say cool what's up maybe a photo but

y'all [ __ ] in your' Spare Time y'

hobby is being weird stalker [ __ ] bro

you will get

shot but the but the that part is what

gets exhausting yeah but I love making

music but making music leads to that you

can't disconnected to right well you say

you can't disconnected to and someone

will some someone's probably going to

watch this and cut this off and this

whole combo is going to lose context

context and what's going to also happen

is me talking about my favorite DJ Quick

album won't be posted as much as me

saying fans are weird and then someone's

going to say every time we see this

[ __ ] he always complaining when I could

spend this whole interview like I love

my mom I love shade I love

music options was such a great album

that's not what they're I'm about to

listen to that [ __ ] when I get in the

car great album so that also sucks like

people taking what you say because they

want clicks or engagement because they

get ad money for engagement and like

they got a mortgage to pay and then two

other people be like well you signed up

for this no

[ __ ] no I like making music I'm cute

tall have a great personality a little

annoying but it's mad chill and a great

sense of style that's been influenc in

the [ __ ] for a while but whatever right

put that out in the world my first album

came out in 2009 I got signed 20 end of

2010 May 2011 my first thing came out

2011 social landscape is so different

from now it wasn't iPhones everywhere it

wasn't people being thirsty for whatever

they get from the internet to the die it

was a different time so walking around

and living and meeting people and

enjoying stuff was much different up

until 2016 when our phone became a thing

which dude technology has sped up so

much I don't even think the human brain

is able to really comprehend what's

going on used to being able to be

contacted

24/7 a big switch happened in 2024 now

with filming with this and that with

voice recording all that that's

something I'm not used to that's

something I don't think any of us is

used to and when I signed up for this

stuff that wasn't even that not only

wasn't the landscape our brain wasn't

even knowing that was coming knowing

that was coming so people are still

adjusting I'm adjusting to like damn

every one could see everything you could

just look up someone's address and

[ __ ] is like damn I could know

what my favorite artist is eating for

breakfast and not feel weird about it

because every [ __ ] page whether it's

academic shade room or whoever the [ __ ]

is posting it now the conversation of

music of art is gone because when artist

put something out the last thing they

talk about is music so you know what

that does to a fan listening to music if

they see the person that made the music

not give any like value to it you think

they gonna give a [ __ ] about the album

they gonna listen to it for an hour and

be like

mid mid not even in mid they don't even

use the word right that just means it's

like average they just don't like it so

they but that's just their word and

because you didn't even get value to it

people can't even articulate what they

dislike about it they just say mid and

move on they don't go into detail about

what they didn't like about the beat or

the lyrics or this and that I get mocked

cuz I'm like track for the 20 and this

album came out I'm a musician what the

[ __ ] else do you think I'm supposed to

talk about you dumb [ __ ] about who I

shot who I got beef with about who I

[ __ ] that's what that's should be 90%

of my conversation no I make music I'm a

music nerd and a musician I care about

this [ __ ] so when y'all [ __ ] see me on

TV and I'm talking about music the [ __ ]

you know me for what the [ __ ] and is

your frustration with them because you

care about this art form so much I love

this art form so much bro and there so

many [ __ ] out right now that aren't

musicians that are getting treated like

musicians cuz they make meme records or

whatever and I'm like bro it's [ __ ]

out here that's really special really

aliens really talented really putting in

the work and y'all [ __ ] giving this

dip [ __ ] who these and these [ __ ]

publicly will be like I don't give a

[ __ ] about music I just do this [ __ ] for

money like I agree with you like get

your bag I love that but like when every

publication is like hell yeah let's put

that out man a 15-year-old a 12-year-old

a 20-year-old going to see that and be

like man [ __ ] I don't really care about

this [ __ ] too this a quick bag now you

taking up space for [ __ ] like me space

for people who really care about this

art form and like I don't like that but

do you get satisfaction and these [ __ ]

Can't perform nobody all these [ __ ]

dress alike man you go to 19 you go to

200 [ __ ] three Jay didn't sound like

T who didn't sound like 50 for real

didn't sound like Dre who ain't sound

like [ __ ] quick who ain't sound like

yay or just blaze or Alchemist Eminem

didn't sound like [ __ ] Jill Scott

Jill Scott wasn't trying to sound like

Julian from the [ __ ] Strokes everyone

was them [ __ ] sell now like everyone

is doing cosplay is a Spider-Man meme of

like the next [ __ ] everyone uses the

same slang [ __ ] you are from LA and you

saying slime yeah exactly you don't we

don't say that it's crazy how the

internet has made everything so like

homog like nothing is its own thing no

more and I think in like three years

like either everyone's just going to be

the same color or it's going to pop in

every the next generation is just going

to go so left and want to be themselves

that it's going to be like but that also

comes with hip-hop getting so big too

the flip side that's like it's part of

that good too because the [ __ ] just got

so big that so many people can come in

and make money so many it's some kid

right now this white kid regular like

Caucasian man and he's like mocking

future and Gucci man like rap music and

like people are like this [ __ ] hard it's

not even like satire it's like I'm just

joking I'm just mocking it but I'm like

no no no you can't do and I hold rap

music so close to my heart cuz this [ __ ]

changed my life and everyone's life

around me and I'm a nerd about this [ __ ]

this is

like weird and I'm W I'm looking at it

and something about it like don't even

sit well with me in comparison to

someone like a MC Miller or Eminem Who

it didn't seem like they was mocking it

they had a genuine love for it and they

were still just being you know uh uh

aside from when Eminem was wearing D

rags in in like 2006 uh also I've seen

this show

called I think painkillers on Netflix um

has anyone seen that show yeah really

good show and it's about like how people

got addicted to opioids in like the 90s

or whatever and I saw that show

and Eminem put out uh this album called

recovery two 2010 I was a big Eminem fan

and when that album came out I [ __ ]

hated it hated it publicly was like this

[ __ ] is whack didn't like it

and after watching that show dude I felt

so

bad I I felt so bad about those tweets

and things like that because thinking

from his perspective someone like me

publicly saying that stuff and him

getting off drugs and being clean and

getting to a point in his life that

that's behind him and me implying like

you need to this [ __ ] is what he

probably felt like I was attacking him I

thought I was just like I don't like the

music he was in a different part of his

life and probably felt like I was

attacking him and now I feel so bad

about saying that stuff because my

perspective was so limited and I love

him that dude taught me how to rap I

learned how to put words together uh and

in Rhythm because of some of the Eminem

stuff I was hearing and storytelling and

things like that so after watching that

show that gave me perspective and I felt

Terri this is a few months ago I felt so

terrible about some of the things I said

up about um that Recovery album cuz I

realized that was a big step it meant a

lot to him and my [ __ ] young stupid

ass is like oh I want to hear same song

and dance and I love the Eminem show but

like he's not there anymore I felt

terrible and if I ever see him like I

want to tell him that like in person and

when you talk about that you're talking

about a very specific thing which um

Jay-Z says the beginning of the

blueprint when he's talking on the intro

where he says this is just what I'm

going through it in the in the time like

like as a rapper when you're writing

[ __ ] is it literally just when you're

making songs like what you've been

feeling in a slice of your life right

yeah yeah yeah well yeah I definitely

think you should I mean I do I do that's

how you get the most that [ __ ] like a

diary or like a snapshot of that time

for me so and is there some [ __ ]

sometimes you you're dealing with your

environment that you keep out like

you're like I'm not going to

let you don't let [ __ ] I don't know

you [ __ ] like [ __ ] I let you I give

you the information I want to give now

the information I give you is honest of

course but [ __ ] like you ain't getting

a whole damn house you can get the guest

room yes you know that by the way that

should be name of your new album I don't

know you name I don't know you name

enjoy the music I don't know you [ __ ]

at all when you think about success

putting music out clothes out [ __ ] sell

all your [ __ ] sells out but how do you

personally measure success forget what

it sells what it does

when you look at [ __ ] you do uh if I

executed it the how I wanted to like if

I'm like yes if you had division well

two things if I executed how I wanted to

and if it's like a goal that I

personally wanted to reach whether it's

buying my dream car and like walking

downstairs like [ __ ] I have this or

uh do just any idea I have I get to

execute that also success is the free

like to me success is freedom like I

have freedom I do not have children I

could [ __ ] whatever I want I could

pretty much buy whatever I want I have

my dream cars I could listen to music I

could eat [ __ ] Donuts all day

seriously like I [ __ ] I was playing

with deer the other day like I I am very

successful in my head like I love my

life so much and don't get me started on

how I feel about

myself like don't get me started like

that is Success like I am beyond happy

thank you brother that was

[Music]

fantastic I don't want to seem like a a

hater cuz I got sometimes I have hater

energy cuz I just think I'm that good

and special [ __ ] this sh black face I

got to see this is audio black face say

it again yeah

appropri everyone the word I was looking

for is appropriation please just cut

that right after that whole red
