Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival Is Revealing Its Headliners Via A Livestream

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyler The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival is returning this year after taking a few years off and, of course, in typical Tyler The Creator fashion, the rollout for the festival is going big. After making the announcement of its return to Dodger Stadium on November 11-12 in Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “The Hillbillies” video, the festival is revealing its lineup via a Twitch livestream on the Camp Flog Gnaw website. Painters are putting a mural of the flyer on the side of Tyler’s Golf store on Fairfax in Los Angeles.

It was speculated that Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar would be the headliners, but it looks like it’ll be a while before we find out for sure. So far, AG Club, Fana Hues, Paris Texas, Balming Tiger, Teezo Touchdown, Ravyn Lenae, Daisy World, Maxo, Mike G, Left Brain, Maxo Kream, Khamari, and Liv.e as performers for this year’s festival.

Announcing the headliners via a livestream could be Tyler’s way to make up for the misstep of 2019, when he tried to surprise fans with a Drake appearance, but they wound up booing him instead as they hoped for a set from the notoriously mysterious Frank Ocean (who has ties to Tyler through their early work as members of Odd Future).

Further down the lineup, more names are being revealed as a large mural is being painted live; we’ll continue to update as we learn who else is going to be included in this year’s festival. In the past, the carnival has included such big names as ASAP Rocky, HER, Jaden, Juice WRLD, Kid Cudi, Lana Del Rey, Lauryn Hill, Mac Miller, Migos, Post Malone, Solange, SZA, Vince Staples, and more — many before their superstardom — so expect to see at least a few stars of the future.

ASAP Rocky’s “RIOT” Featuring Tyler, The Creator Seemingly Leaks Online

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator and ASAP Rocky didn’t immediately become friends when they first crossed paths, but after making an effort to find common ground, the pair have become a dynamic duo over the years. Both have incredible talents in the realms of fashion and music, allowing them to collaborate (and keep us laughing) in a multitude of ways. We have heard some joint releases from them over the years, such as “Potato Salad” and “Wharf Talk,” as well as the previously leaked “Run It,” “Jinglin’,” “Gurl,” and “Income.”

There’s long been talk of Rocky and The Creator combining their brands for a WANGSAP album, but unfortunately, we’re not any closer to seeing that come to fruition. “I think something about Odd Future must’ve broke Tyler on the idea of collab albums, like not in a serious way just in the way that he isn’t interested,” one Reddit user speculated on the /hiphopheads thread. “We never got EarlWolf despite everyone in Odd Future having their own little sub-group and ‘WANGSAP’ was literally a full project that they just quit making,” they further pointed out.

ASAP Rocky and Tyler, The Creator’s WANGSAP Has Yet to See the Light of Day

The pair’s “T.D. (Tokyo Drift)” song eventually went to Lil Yachty instead, and they gave “Lost & Found” to Nigo. There have also been rumours about a cut of Rocky and Swedish House Mafia’s “Frankenstein” that features Tyler, as well as an unreleased version of the California native’s “What A Day” with ASAP. The latter’s latest single, “RIOT,” originally included the other half of his WANGSAP duo, but was ultimately released as a solo effort.

ASAP Rocky may not have intended for his “RIOT” collaboration with Tyler, The Creator to arrive online, but late last month he did share the highly anticipated music video for his own version. In his usual fashion, the New Yorker went above and beyond with his creative vision, which found him filming around the globe. Check out the footage for yourself at the link below, and listen to the new leak here.

Tyler The Creator Turned Down A Record Deal Offer From Jay-Z Over Tacos Early In His Career

July 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Before was an A-list rap star with his own festival and a $13 million house, Tyler The Creator was just a blog-era upstart who generated a buzz by word of mouth and being a menace toward many of those blogs for not posting his music. Even without the blog love, Tyler’s rambunctious self-promo was enough to garner the attention of some big names, including Jay-Z and Diddy — although, in typical Tyler The Creator fashion, he blew them off to do his own thing.

In the latest episode of DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz Podcast Tyler recounts how he turned down a deal from Jay-Z over tacos. According to @nfr_podcast on Twitter, Tyler tells Drama, “[He] invited us to one of his LA homes & we just ate tacos… We ate some tacos & he wanted to sign us. I was like ‘man you’re cool, but no.’ Him, Puff… a lot of people were interested… I don’t know, I just want creative control & do everything.”

Tyler, The Creator recalls JAY-Z trying to sign him early on:

“ [He] invited us to one of his LA homes & we just ate tacos… We ate some tacos & he wanted to sign us. I was like ‘man you’re cool, but no.’ Him, Puff… a lot of people were interested… I don’t know, I just want… pic.twitter.com/E2r8H6mNro

And despite making an album he describes as “f*cking terrible” with that creative control, it paid off eventually. Tyler and DJ Drama’s album Call Me If You Get Lost won the award for Best Rap Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards, and Tyler certainly seems to be doing pretty well for himself otherwise. I guess we know the right answer to that meme about dinner with Jay-Z now.

Tyler, The Creator Hears From Will.I.Am After Throwing Shade

July 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator, showed The Black Eyed Peas some love on July 1. The band is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album, 1998’s Behind the Front. Tyler says he credits that album for his start into bossa nova music, saying, “Thank you for helping shape my ear and getting me started to write words down” in a lengthy Tweet. However, he also called will.i.am, the de facto leader of the Black Eyed Peas, a “dipstick.” So despite his appreciation for what BEP has done for his career, Tyler still took a silly potshot at the performance group’s main guy.

Despite the slight dig, he also praises will.i.am for his ability to locate great samples for BEP music. Tyler says that will.i.am’s ear is what led him to do the Sergio Mendes project years later. He’s making a reference to Mendes’ Timeless, which showcased will.i.am as a collaborator on the 2006 album. While he gives a nod to the music producer and artist, he still calls him a dipstick outright. So what happens when will.i.am finds the Tweet and responds to the rapper?

Tyler, The Creator & The Black Eyed Peas Love/Hate

will. i. am is still a dipstick BUT 25 years ago Behind The Front by the Black Eyed Peas (1998) released. one of the first hip hop albums i owned. 7 years old, i wrote my first rap to the second half of ‘positivity’ ( starts around the 5 minute mark). ‘the way you make me feel’ (… pic.twitter.com/EeJrRAABRZ

Will.i.am saw the Tweet and responded in kind, but only in kindness. “Thanks for the LOVE,” he wrote to Tyler, The Creator. “I’m beyond proud of you… You’re an amazing contribution to the world of music and all things creative…” He’s also celebrating the anniversary of the album, which launched his career for the most part. However, Behind the Front only got to number 129 on the Billboard 200. It wasn’t until Fergie came on and they released 2003’s Elephunk that they became the hip-hop icons they are today.

As for Tyler, The Creator, he recently released Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale, in which new music from the album’s cutting floor made it back into this deluxe version of Call Me If You Get Lost. New singles include “Dogtooth” and “Sorry Not Sorry.” And this is not the first time Tyler has posted about will.i.am, with an apparent beef brewing way back in 2013 over an alleged bet between the two musical artists. However, based on the current Twitter back-and-forth, it looks like it’s all water under the bridge…even if Tyler is still taking mini-jabs at the BEP legend.

Earl Sweatshirt Will Perform His ‘Doris’ Album In Full For Its Upcoming Tenth Anniversary

June 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earl Sweatshirt most recently released Sick! at the top of 2022, an album that Joe Budden didn’t particularly like. But given its No. 80 debut on the Billboard 200, it looks like most everyone else did.

“Even though he’s grown up, though, there remains an element of inscrutability in his music, a chip on his shoulder that has been reduced in size but is no less embedded in the fabric of his being,” Uproxx‘s Aaron Williams wrote in his Sick! review, later noting, “You won’t be hearing many requests for Earl’s new music at any clubs or parties anytime soon (none you’d want to go to, anyway). But what feels more important is that Earl is in a good place, mentally and emotionally, and that’s translated to art that is proportionately more enjoyable.”

You can hear Earl’s music at The Novo in Los Angeles soon enough, however. He announced on Wednesday, June 28, that he will be performing a one-off 10-year anniversary show at the venue on August 19 to commemorate the August 20, 2013 release of Doris.

“He’ll perform Doris in full for the first time ever,” Stereogum relayed. “Domo Genesis is also on the bill, and it would not be a surprise if some of the album’s other featured guests made appearances as well.”

Doris‘ other featured artists were Casey Veggies, Frank Ocean, the late Mac Miller, RZA, SK Laflare, Tyler The Creator, and Vince Staples.

Tyler The Creator Thinks His ‘Goblin’ Album Is ‘F*cking Terrible,’ But He Doesn’t Totally Hate It

June 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyler The Creator appeared on the Rap Radar Podcast last Friday, June 9. He said several things that the aggregation machine swept up, such as his proclamation that “I f*cking hate Rap Twitter,” but he has a soft spot for his 2011 major-label debut album, Goblin.

“Bro, Goblin is f*cking terrible, but I still love it,” Tyler said at the 1:24:46 mark. “It’s an energy and an aura that it has — hearing my wonky synths and gross drums and me not realizing I’m yelling on every song and saying the most wild sh*t is what got people there. It’s not about the music. If you were there, that energy and that aura and that air just cutting through what everyone else was doing is so important.”

He continued, “And there’s still some ones on there. I still think ‘Yonkers’ is awesome. ‘She’ is awesome. The first two versions of ‘Nightmare’ is ill. ‘Tron Cat’ is still awesome. ‘Analog’ is still cool. Like, there’s still a few things on there, but people don’t know, like, a lot of songs on that album were just random songs I recorded after ‘Goblin’ that we kind of just [viewed as], ‘Yeah, here, I got these songs.’”

Tyler said nearly the exact same thing during an interview for WSJ Magazine in late 2019 — noting then that Goblin was “trash, but I don’t regret making it.”

“It’ll make the overall story sicker when I’m 43, and I own a billion-dollar company, and it’s, like, ‘Look what I was doing when I was 19. Who would have thought those skate rats who like the color pink would be doing this?’” Tyler told the publication at the time.

Tyler The Creator ‘F*cking Hates Rap Twitter’ And Has No Patience For Top Five Rapper Lists

June 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For almost as long as rap has been at the height of popular culture, fans and professionals have carried on the tradition of ranking the top rappers, from “top five, dead or alive” lists to Mount Rushmores of rap. But there’s one practitioner you won’t find participating: Tyler The Creator, who not only explained why he has no patience for such things but also declared “I f*cking hate Rap Twitter” in a preview of his upcoming interview with Rap Radar Podcast.

When prompted by co-host Elliott Wilson, Tyler launched into an all-out tirade, rejecting the idea of an “objective” top rapper and denouncing the nonstop debates that take place on social media — especially “Rap Twitter,” the collective name for accounts that generate such discussion with provocative prompts and hot takes on the bird app.

“Bro, who gives a f*ck?” Tyler demanded. “You know what annoys me? When people are like, ‘This is my top five,’ and people argue it. You got 17-year-olds like, ‘Yeah, dude, Ready To Die and Enter The Wu-Tang is my top ten albums ever.’” After expressing his incredulity with one helluva metaphor he continued, “It’s performative. Again, some people might be right, but … you got YoungBoys and [Lil] Baby’s out here and that’s your favorite album?”

“I don’t care about people’s ‘objective’ top nothing,” he asserted. “Tell me what is your favorite sh*t. Because you learn so much from people. You get context. I wanna know why you think Pookie Dookie’s second album is your favorite… I wanna hear that.”

This isn’t the first time Tyler has discredited a hot topic. Early last year, he slammed the NFT craze (he was right) and earlier this year, he did the same with posthumous albums, revealing his ill expressly bans releasing any posthumous work of his (he’s right again, but whoever ends up in charge of his unreleased music may not see it that way).

Exclusive Preview: Tyler, the Creator Shuns Rap Debates and Top 3 Talk in Season Premiere of ‘Rap Radar’ Podcast

June 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Rap Radar podcast is back for season 2 with Interval Presents. Getting the second season underway, the premiere episode brings Tyler, the Creator, in conversation with our favorite hosts, Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller.

In the season-opening episode, the Call Me If You Get Lost rapper and the Rap Radar legends will discuss Tyler’s Grammy-winning album, social issues, his family and friends, and more. One of the topics covered is rap debates, specifically the top 3 in the game, which Tyler has no interest in.

“Bro, who gives a fuck,” Tyler responded. “You know what bothers me, you have 17-year-olds talking about ‘Ready to Die’ and ‘Enter the Wu Tang’ are in their Top 10 albums ever. I’m like, bro, you just got hair on your dick, stop. It’s performative.”

He added, “I don’t care about people’s objective top nothing. Tell me what is your favorite shit cause you learn so much from people. You get context.”

Examining online, Tyler has seen tier lists online of his own albums, coupling that and best artist debates and Tyler developed a distaste for Rap Twitter.

“Who gives a fuck who the top three is? Jamiroquai is my favorite band and I don’t know nobody who talks about them. But who gives a fuck? I enjoy them in my house and my car.”

You can hear it from Tyler the Creator below. The full episode will be available on Thursday (June 8).
