In the upcoming issue of Stylus, we kinda rag on Tyler, the Creator a bit. That’s because Sara Quin’s criticisms of the bombastic rapper really hit home, and even if Goblin is full of self-disclaimers, it doesn’t excuse the representation of homophobia in the tracks. A hefty chunk of Quin’s criticism is aimed at the media covering Tyler, so we’re making it known that that’s not “artistic” or cool, dude.
That being said, here’s a nice video that doesn’t touch on any of that, but has Tyler opening up nostalgia-like, recalling summers of playing piano, on his trail to become a better musician.
