Tyler the creator "HEY NOW" freestyle and video. Over kendrick lamar beat

[Jay Kast]

This is fire. Didn't even know it was a Kendrick beat tbh

But now I know why so many people aren't giving it the respect it deserves

I've never listened to a whole Tyler project either, might need to change that

 

[T-K-G]

He’s been doing different voices and sounds his whole career..what are you talking about

Every Tyler thread people who do not listen to this man come in here and expose themselves, they do don't this with any other modern artist




"How is he popular just making troll raps ?" -

something he hasn't done in ages



"I thought he was gay" - ignoring years of him talking about fukking on other nikkas girls and keep his private




"Oh so NOW he's doing *insert xyz*? "

It's usually some shyt he BEEN doing since OF tapes at 16 years old and it's been on video/audio on YouTube for just as long

 

[We Ready]

2025 and people on a hip hop forum still think Tyler only does troll rap

 

[T-K-G]

I REALLY don’t understand why this guy is such a big deal

I mean I get it. He brought “troll rap” to the forefront of the genre but is that something to be celebrated?

He hasn't said troll shyt in ages

I really don't understand how y'all are still saying this after so many years of him throwing that angle away, deaded that like 4+ projects ago man.....

YOU really don't understand because YOU have not listened, it's that simple yet y'all come in here asking that silly shyt I'll never understand that logic

Baby I don’t play victim
Buy that n—— building just e-vict ‘im

You must be young

There’s like 5 people saying essentially the same thing so clearly it has legs. Basically, he used to sound nothing like this

And not on some ‘oh he’s evolved’. Nah, like he’s doing an impersonation now. It doesn’t sound authentic. Especially bc he was never a hip hop type dude

This is funny if you’re familiar with Tyler’s old music and how he shytted on the jerking era and LA music

Exactly

 

[spliz]

Even tho I think he’s from Cali, he ain’t the authentic Cali artist I want on this beat

He sound like he doin an impression of the accent and lingo

nikka u acting like Kendrick been rapping like that his whole career. nikka just started it this year himself. Lol.

If u think that's all he is after all this time that means u clearly haven't listened to his shyt and that's more of a you problem and not his because son ain't been on that trolling wave for MAD long. U nikkas just have an impression of someone and chose to either hate or love them but the hate is damn near blind when u won't even give shyt a listen but quick to criticize. And thats cool but don't act confused when u don't even give the artist a chance. Funny thing is u would've loved Call Me If You Get Lost. The nikka a big Nas fan and even flipped Nazareth Savage on it.

I listened to this freestyle and it was trash to me

U asked a career question. Not a song question. Like I said if u listened to Call Me If You Get Lost u would've loved that shyt and since he's a big Nas fan he even flipped Nazareth Savage. Tyler can actually rap. What he do lyrically on this shyt that Kendrick ain't do all over GNX?

People have made the same comments for several projects now though while at the same time admitting they don’t listen to him.

I listened to the freestyle thought it was trash and was struck by the thought that i’ve never found him to be good outside of two songs. Like I TRULY don’t understand whats special about him

 

[boogers]

hes just having fun with it lol

but if this was off the dome i'll eat my own hat!

if this video upset you, blame Eminem like i do

Again. U refused to listen to a project even one I just recommend. There's nothing to understand. U don't want to. Lol
