Get it Started > whatever that ? puts out
-
I was gonna flame him for telling the next man who put decades of work in (good or bad) that he has no longevity, even though he failed at being the black Eminem within 2 years... but if Will really started that, Tyler has every right to say what he said.
-
Tyler went in on that ? , damn.
-
Will I am is lame and Tyler is corny
-
well that came out of nowhere
-
He has a point
Dunno how successful Tyler or anyone else in OF will be 10 years from now though -
-
This is like cat ? criticizing dog ? .

He bas a point. Finally Tyler starting mature
-
I don't think there is a bigger sell-out in any genre of music than will.i.am.
-
Funny was a small time BEP was backpackers on real hiphop ? lol prior to Fergie joining the group.
-
All that being said, Tyler is free to create what he wants. But Will does have a point, if Tyler paraphrased him correctly. It's cool to be anti establishment and anti commercial, but Tyler gotta remember that there's people in that realm he can reach, and if he wants to get to the next level, he's gonna have to find means to reach them. Not necessarily go pop, but make something that they'll ? with. Right now, he's just making music for him and his ? . It's all good, but he's gotta step up.
-
Will-I-am been out since the late 90's. So Tyler better hope he can be out as long.
-
Wolf was one of the best albums this year.
-
Yeah he really stepped it up on Wolf.didn't really care for the guy aside from a couple of tracks here and there but now he's got me interested in seeing what he does next.
He should focus on production more than rapping. -
I'm pretty sure will I am's party music will still be played 10 years from now the sane why white folks play any got back , this is how we do it and in the club
-
And than we have ? like @dwade206 who LOL at me saying "Wolf was one of the best albums of the year" and he probably never even thought of listening to it at all. Hit the "wack" or "feelings" and move past this post nig.

I'm not a fan of Tyler by any means. I thought he was overrated as hell after hearing Bastard and Goblin. I only checked out Wolf cause of that track with Pharrell and when I decided to listen to the whole album I was really surprised how good the album was. So saying its one of the best albums that came out this year isnt a stretch. -

Id happily put it in my top ten if he put the latter half together a bit better.
Rusty is still one of the hardest tracks of the year,domo absolutely murdered that beat.

Co-sign, they could have done without that lazy ass Earl verse though, Tyler smashed the song.
