Nice Cover Story: Waka Flocka Interviews Tyler, The Creator For Interview Magazine
Odd Future’s front man, Tyler the Creator recently did an over the phone interview with Waka Flocka Flame and Dimitri Ehrlich for Interview magazine. Tyler, the Creator talked about what is so odd about the future, if  Odd Future a hip-hop heavy-metal group or a punk-rock rap group and how did the group get the name OFWFKTA. Tyler also talked about doing the things that he and his band mates rap about in their lyrics. Below are some excerpts:
FLAME: Well, Iâm gonna ask you a couple questions.
TYLER: Sick. Iâm ready. I just wanna state, though, that âKeep It Realâ is, like, my favorite fuckinâ song by you. Thatâs, like, in my top 10 songs ever. Thatâs my shit. You throwinâ it out there. Okay, so now you could start the whatever.
FLAME: All right. So firstly, what do yâall think is so odd about the future?
TYLER: Whatâs odd about the future? I think weâre all gonna die pretty soon, and the animals are gonna take overâlike ostriches and shit. I think theyâre gonna take over the world and weâre gonna be their slaves.
FLAME: So would you describe Odd Future as a hip-hop heavy-metal group? Or a punk-rock rap group? How do you describe what you and your crew do?
TYLER: I donât like either description. I donât like being put in a box. I just make music, you know? When youâre put in a box, people have a set mind-state of what your music could sound like before they even look into it. Like, if no one ever heard of me, but Iâm hip-hop-metal-rock, then theyâre already gonna have an expectation of what the music will sound like. Then, when they go in and finally listen to it, it might be different from what they thought, and they could automatically hate it because they already had expectations.
FLAME: Do yâall actually do any of the stuff yâall talk about in your lyrics?
TYLER: Well, I donât rape chicks . . . I have punched a girl in the eye . . . Um . . . What else? I say a lot of shit and it just depends . . . Sometimes itâs just âcause shit is funny.
