Letter about tyler, the creator

i like tyler and all, but he is far from a lyrical genius. i can't really even get it in to my head that people would consider him a lyrical genius. his songs have meaning to him, but imo he's just an example of music doesnt have to be good or even make sense for people to enjoy it.

good flow and catchy beats=/=lyrical genius
 
thats just my opinion, i dont listen to rap that much anyways.but this man is a lyrical genius

google says hes only worth one million right now, so I highly doubt that but who knows...

the dude is the Twilight of rappers, idk when are why young people decided that ghouls and shit were cool but the fad is sure to pass.
 
I seriously don't know anyone who does that but k. I like Tyler, I like OF...it's fucking music and people are allowed to write about whatever.
 
i can't see past the whole, "i'm 20 years old and immature so i do stupid things for attention and say offensive shit constantly because that seems to make me cool".
and it works, how many people even on this site, love OF because of their "don't give a fuck" attitude and all that shit? lots.

some of OF has talent for sure, no doubt about it, but personally, Tyler is just annoying as fuck and the dude is just obnoxious. but hey, only my opinion, just sharing it. i personally like frank ocean just fine, so whatevaaa
 
hey man, i appreciate you taking a brief break from your nobel prize winning work on rocket fuel chemistry to put together that excellent rebuttal.
 
Yes they are. I got into an argument yesterday about OF. It basically went like this:

Me: "Meh, I like a few things OF has put out, but I don't really like most of it."

Him: WHAT?! You obviously just don't understand it. There's so much MORE to the lyrics, it's a story!!

Me: I do get it, and I don't care. I still don't think it's that great. And I don't think Tyler is nearly as clever and deep and creative as everyone gives him credit for being. He makes a few play on words and everyone's on his nuts, but he's a rapper and that's what they're supposed to do. I'm unimpressed, sorry. I also just plain old dont like the flow of most of the songs, I don't think they're very catchy.

Him: You're stupid. That's just ignorant.

Me: It's my opinion. It's not stupid or ignorant.

Kinda stopped talking after that.

OF and Justin Beiber both have the most defensive, cult-like group of followers. It's weird.
