Ill b honest I was tryna make it entertaining, that's my personality I say wild s*** for fun

In early OF days, bro had fans anyone young from Hispanic to white and black. Even some normie folks were f***ing with the antics

you do have a point there though, as much as tyler is inspired by pharrell he isn’t exactly out here making the entire industry better by producing and writing for people like big P was doin back in the day and even a few years ago. tf is he even doing these days, making LV runoff ass clothes with his brand i guess? i do fw tyler overall though

Lmaooooooooo

excited to watch this, i just made one too

decided not to make its own thread cause i think we have hit critical mass of discussion on this damn interview on here lmaoo

Gotta watch this later

Pharrell was getting placements by everyone and they mama.

Tyler was/is not.

yea the thumbnail is a lil bit clickbaity for me i dont think hes actually an oldhead but i do think tyler is blessed to have not tried to get famous in the algorithms era

i guess you’re right. he used to talk all the time about how he tried to send people tracks but they’d always reject em lol. s*** makes me sad

NAH YNS SPITTING FROM HERE ON

SOME OF YALL DONT UNDERSTAND MAN

Because artists these days are

Type YouTube beats ruined artists actually taking risks.

Christina Aguilera used a goddamn Dj Premier beat for one of her biggest songs. Now every pop girl gotta sound the same.

Rappers oh we already dont need to talk about how bad they gotten at beat selection.
It’s crazy all these years and Kendrick the ONLY mainstream rapper that hopped on a Knxwledge beat?

Like Pharrell was blessed to be in an era folks wanted to venture out to those weird beep boop sounds of his and Chad’s. Tyler’s been handicapped cause these niggas keep turning down his beats.

I be on here doing all that teaching

listening at work

we are old heads lol in all forms of art. The medium has entirely changed whether you are talking music, movies, tv or film

the delivery method has entirely changed

s*** even in food

we biked to Mcdonalds with our quarters

a kid today can wake up turn on a cellphone and have food delivered to them

we live in the "future"

in terms of everything is much more accessible

we grew up on AOL Dial up the process to receive ANY FORM OF INFORMATION used to take more work and cost more effort and attention in every way shape and form

Artist arent going to take art SERIOUSLY

because ITS DEVALUED

so when I go at Tyler its because he is punching down at the artist more than THE MACHINE

you are using your bullets on the henchmen while the bosses are laughing at that

Great video Eric. my only hope is some type of new curation tool and better A & Rs come into existence.

Would love a platform that exposes ppl to new music like tik tok does, yet has some sort of quality filter. but at that point it becomes so subjective.

and @Thichquangduck been thinking about your point of streaming killing hip hop def think it correlates with russ's tweet about hip hop in the early 2010s a couple days ago.

MTV doesnt exist in any way shape or form

it went from music television to giving you marathons of cops and cheaters

there are people who never watch music videos anymore its shifted to youtube and stans arguing on social media

Yes everything has changed. The only benefit to streaming has been like a moment like this year of two artist dropping disses back and forth. It created a MOMENT . we were like "oh s*** kendrick dropped" we dropped our life and immediately listened

people listened while in their zoom meeting it was a MOMENT

it was channeling the virality of us hearing words put together we never thought two artist would finally challenge each other

it was Batman vs Superman

but the structure of streaming and "oh s*** this artist hasnt dropped in 5 years and I cant see their social media post they might as well be dead"

WHICH WAS THE EXACT PURPOSE OF FRANK OCEANS ENDLESS LIVE STREAM

our consumption of art and artist has changed so much . They take ad money, we see Chance the rapper see that he possibly doesnt believe in dinosaurs.

Back when I bought TI Paper Trail from Best Buy I didnt know he was possibly trafficking humans lol

I just knew BIG THINGS POPPIN

YES YOU CAN SIT ON THE INTERNET AND DISCUSS IAN but its MORE WORTHWHILE TO LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE

all art mediums have been devalued.

they should ALL go on strike

As he is saying we went from an ipod to an ipod touch to a device that can do damn near anything

When I first heard My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy I could primarily listen in one place

Needed to go to a large computer or laptop to come to KTT to discuss it in full

Cellphones were still kind of slow

we texted twitter to tweet

now I can see what a million people think of a song the second it comes out

ayo check dms

gotcha

That's why I be on here spreading information and literature about niggas

Hanging mic epidemic is a crazy bar

people take oldhead as a bad term when I jokingly own it because we genuinely lived a different life than the youth and thats okay but accept reality

lmaooo i honestly had an idea to make a whole video about that, with it being the title, a few months ago when ian and 4batz vids first dropped but i ended up not doing it. i might pick it back up though
