But if you succumb to the pressure you're no better than the ones applying it

He’s clearly being satirical

Yeah like @Valentine said I feel like he could’ve denounced that whole section of his fanbase by just taking accountability even through the music. I mean some things are just.. trolling. But that can’t be an excuse for everything

I don’t follow what you said but niggas love Donald. He made Atlanta

Twitter bait

"Only if you knew what I know but I won't tell you " genre of tweets are some of the worst

I will never left a nigga tell me he got bullied into being anti-black. You gotta shut that p**** ass s*** up to me lol

Judging someone by how they acted online when they were 18 is an interesting choice. People grow up and mature. We got bigger s*** in the world to worry about anyways.

unfortunately until he was 30, he felt it was just trolling

idk what happened during the build up to Call Me era but he shifted then until the tweet that he liked that sparked all of this. In the build up to Call Me and Chroma he said he really wanted to reclaim Okonma. said that Virgil really inspired him to take his Nigerian roots seriously before he died

Sometimes he can get a little theatrical to the point of embarrassing in how he tells this stuff, but that's besides the point, I like Tyler, my problem is more with a section of his fanbase where he's the only rapper they listen to, and treat him with a specific weird kind of reverence that's hard to put into words, I'm trying though

Idk what you mean? I’m not denying that existed, I been through it lol but it never made me hate myself or my people. If anything it made me lean into my interests more and do as much research as I can to find representation.

I don’t think it justifies being straight up coon tho.

Bullied into being white is hilarious lol. He was just a weirdo and hung with weirdos. You wild if you think niggas wasn’t jocks either bullying him

I understand, but if you had seen his early stuff with Derrick Comedy on YouTube and listen to his early music, the similarities between him and Tyler were there.

tyler was in his 20s when he said some of the anti black s*** posted itt

brother was in his mid 20s tweeting like this 😂

Earls mom entirely vindicated

Childish never switched tho. Tyler was a weirdo, then He was gay then he was black then he was famous

Being 18 in 2009 does absolve u of much

Tyler hated niggas for liking sushi a couple years ago lol did yall forget

Bro is getting cooked.

I will say, while i liked Tyler's music during early OF, i never took it serious. I viewed it not much differently than how I a horror film. A fictional story that's not necessarily meant to be a reflection of things the artist think are okay.

Now, in hindsight I don't think that type of story telling translates to music well. There are a lot of people that listen to music for relatability and to connect with the artist. So he's bound to attract a lot of weirdos with those rape bars.
And on top of that it expanded beyond the music with the blackface merch, and KKK stuff. Which, ngl. I'm was a DIEHARD Odd Future fan back then, and that stuff missed me lol. I never saw that convo with Syd and Matt calling him out either lol.

Regardless, i think all of that stuff is corny now. I can't listen to B****** or Goblin at all lol. And I'm sure he doesnt really enjoy most of those edgy bars either.

But i think blaming his fanbase on his is probably not very accurate. I would say most of his edgy B******/Goblin area fans either grew up and matured out of that type of music; or if they didn't they stopped listening to him all together. I see tons of ppl all the time that say "He got corny after Flower Boy. His new fans are mix of Gen Z Breadtube type white fans, elitist fakedeep music fans(mostly white), and some hip-hop heads.

D'Angelo disrespect was being seen everywhere online from white folks, be they didnt know who he was.
Every single year Tyler trends on twitter because a bunch of his new fans just discovered his Pre Flower Boy music. Most of them barely even knew Tyler was a edgelord, so i would chalk it up to most of them just being ignorant white kids who wouldnt know or appreciate black music made before 2010 lol

I guess I never took what he was doing seriously, since it seemed absurdist and tongue in cheek.

but it never made me hate myself or my people

This is the point. If you become disgruntled by some bullying you been a p**** this whole time. I have no soft answers or consolations for Tyler

ehhh, depends on the nigga lmfao. idk if you can walk up to most niggas within the perimeter in ATL and ask them to break down Atlanta the tv show niggas would say ATL got a show???

Other way around
