It’s always a great barbershop or road trip conversation: who are your top 5 rappers of all time? What are your top 5 albums of all time? Tyler, The Creator’s here to say: F all that. In a recent interview, Tyler said that he feels a lot of the time these conversations can be “performative” so as to show some type of higher hip-hop knowledge.
“Bro, who gives a f*ck?” Tyler said. “You know what annoys me is when people are like, ‘This is my Top 5…’ and you got 17-year-olds like, ‘Yeah f*cking Ready To Die and Enter The Wu-Tang is my favorite Top 10 album ever,’ like, bro…” Tyler would continue on saying that he wants to know what you ACTUALLY like and why it truly resonates with you. You have to admit, he has a point.
