New Tyler, The Creator album to be “weird hippy music”
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 November 2011
Tyler, The Creator has said that his next album, ‘Wolf’, which he plans to release in May next year, will be “weird hippy music” less about “rape and cutting up bodies” and more about “money and buying shit”. I know, that doesn’t sound particularly hippy, but at least he’s trying.
Speaking to Spin, the rapper said: “Talking about rape and cutting bodies up, it just doesn’t interest me any more. What interests me is making weird hippy music for people to get high to. With ‘Wolf’, I’ll brag a little more, talk about money and buying shit. But not like any other rapper, I’ll be a smart-ass about it. Now it’s just girls throwing themselves at me and shit, but I got a girl back home. People who want the first album again, I can’t do that. I was eighteen, broke as fuck. On my third album, I have money and I’m hanging out with my idols. I can’t rap about the same shit”.
