Tyler, The Creator’s interview with Zane Lowe.
Tyler, The Creator, who doesn’t do too many interviews decided to sit down with Beats 1 host Zane Lowe for an insightful conversation. In the interview, he talks about his latest hit album IGOR which topped the Billboard 200 chart, singing rapping & producing, wanting to work with the likes of Beyonce, Jay-Z & Billie Eilish, wanting to make movies, being in Lake Como with Solange & Franch Ocean and much more.
DJ Khaled’s star-studded album, Father of Asahd, was released on the same day as Tyler’s IGOR. Tyler’s effort landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after first-week sales were tabulated, with Khaled’s album coming in at No. 2. The latter artist was plainly dissatisfied with the results, and he aired his displeasure in an Instagram video that has since been removed.
“No disrespect to Khaled or anyone, but this n***a had every person in the industry, everyone on that f**king album,” Tyler said. “Everyone. Everyone. Cardi B. 21 Savage. Travis Scott. Post Malone. Beyonce. Jay. Everyone who sells billions of records and the fact that I beat him with this that isn’t parallel to all the popping music right now was f**king crazy, bro. It … Are you serious? Like, that was insane to me. And it’s new to me, bro. I’m on album five and six. And it’s work. It’s effort. It’s work. This is f**king whether n***as like it or not, bro, it’s so much work and detail put into this shit like—I’m so proud of myself.”
