Out of everyone in the rap game Tyler literally has the most entertaining interviews. I can listen to his interviews for hours. Such a charismatic character! This man deserves all the flowers!

[@trellbeach9534]

Him and Vince Staples

[@yuyuyu12345]

him and 2013 kanye has the most entertaining interviews

[@k3ygvrv]

Asap rocky too

[@olisano1]

Kanye entered the chat

[@joshuah_lee]

For real! I always look forward to the guy’s takes on life and music. He’s truly a guy that loves his life.

[@aze4964]

What he said about Kendricks album at 56:00 was so true. People need to realize how necessary the emotional vulnerability of artists like Kendrick and Tyler are especially to black kids and black people. That’s why I think Mr Morale is a landscape in music.

[@PabloG777]

I love how T has been on a Constant interview run during this past year, it really gives insight on where he’s at in life and really showcases that his creativity at this point is endless. He truly is a dedicated Visionary of our generation

[@buunyyhopp]

Last interview I watched of him was the one where he talked about DJ Khaled and shit. What other interviews did he do?

[@eric4D]

@@buunyyhopp this is actually his 2nd converse interview. u should watch the first one if u haven’t it’s very good.

[@chelsea7889]

i love listening to him talk

Can this man start a podcast already

[@mchlfx]

I’d love that but honestly he’s too much of an innovator to do that. Every celeb has one now

[@yammolcho8127]

Bet he'll do it in the future, prolly with some of guys from Odd Future

[@bubefr]

@@yammolcho8127 tbh I doubt that. Odd future is in the past and Tyler doesn't regurgitate anything

Tyler: I like to use my words super wisely. Also Tyler: Everything is figureoutable.

[@kcylah]

when cmiygl was released, i was on a trip to florida and me and my family were in the car for most of the day listening to the album. my dad absolutely loved wilshire and he replayed it until our flight home. it's crazy to think that tyler didn't even expect people to enjoy it and now everyone loves it.

[@coopermullins3532]

Dude I was also on a trip to florida when cmiygl dropped that’s so sick

[@Chuckylarms777]

Can imagine having parents that are cool with new music

[@NaomiAnae]

My dad loves Tyler too 🫶🏽

[@Nefalibata0]

I was also on the most beautiful trip when it came out and it was sooo clutch

[@tomasherczeg637]

my dad also loves wilshire, I don't know what it is with dads and that song

[@DRAVE117]

his creative mind is truly inspiring.

[@DRAVE117]

every creative should give this a listen fr

[@ItsThatMarioKid1]

A general theme from all the questions was to just do what you want and be honest about it, even if others don't f with it. Funny how tyler had to answer it like 5 times, but everyone's got the struggle of either being judged, or judging yourself too critically. Appreciate this interview~

[@netzav3468]

its crazy how being an observer you notice how many "obstacles" aren't really there, hearing Tylers pov about creating shows how easy it is. He just does it simply because he wants to and is satisfied with that and the rest of us over complicate it .

[@northernfrost]

@@netzav3468 so true man

[@yourztrulyandy]

He really put myself into perspective and made me answer all my own questions about these doubts and about people judging me. Seeing how everyone in the crowd has ambitions and talents, yet fear is the biggest factor of not being able to create that world, really does suck cause it’s all of the fear of being judged. Imagine how many great things we haven’t seen yet because of being scared. This interview really made me say fuck it and for me to do what I want, what I love.

[@DUGotd]

That’s why radicals is my favorite song from him. Cheesy asf but it changed how I see life and how I want to go about with my dreams and ambitions.

[@Southwesternism]

Bro, this interview is going to change somebody’s life. Like, you remember when J Cole used that skit of Hov saying something like, ‘there’s a kid somewhere writing some shit right now’ or whatever? This is gonna be someone’s spark.

[@trellbeach9534]

Him and Vince Staples have very interesting interviews. I always learn something from them when I watch their interviews. And I come to realize that Tyler has been a influence on my style of clothes, expanding my taste and trying out new colors.

[@tiaraislovelee]

“Sometimes the solution of the problem is better than the original idea”-Tyler

[@ubhutiontsundu6329]

By the way: I love how in these converse interviews Tyler always gets people that are genuinely his fans, like they ask questions from a point of having consumed his stuff. The energy they give comes from him and it's so positive. I love you all❤

[@bubeudeh]

LIKE ????? it gave me the biggest smile when the first guy discussed the particular LINES. LITERAL LINES. from november that inspired him? what? i just love that shit.

[@ubhutiontsundu6329]

@@bubeudeh detailed

[@ih8jvstin]

1:01:37 is the most important part and honestly inspiring part for me. hearing these words from someone like tyler especially, it makes you feel like you can do the things you really want to do.

[@YungBerryGordy]

The thing is Tyler not only gives you art, he also shares perspective. He is literally living so when it’s time to make a project, create a shoe, talk to folks, it’s all from experience. The best music always comes from living.

[@user-tv4zz6go3h]

I love how the crow squeaked as soon as Tyler said “someone like Virgil, someone who’s always looked down for me”. What a precious sign from Virgil letting Tyler know he STILL does

[@kksspace1933]

The interviewer is really good especially at 39:50 where he helped Tyler really understand the person’s question better and ensure that it was answered well

[@christinak4941]

Tyler recalling the Emancipation of Mimi album is so adorable! He's such a doll!

[@malini2027]

It caught me by surprise haha, I love that song, video, and album

[@SamJohnsonVoice]

Great interview. I loved the stuff on perfectionism and the disdain for "inspiration."

[@Chuckylarms777]

I think he just hates the question

[@jamespool5495]

The way Tyler truly believes “just do your shit” is so impactful

[@blkshad_art]

Tyler is top 5 most authentic “famous” people ever! Love this dude. Knew he’d be a star on Goblin

[@samariaspringfield1403]

This was different!! I always watch Tyler’s interviews but seeing him here give the audience/fans advice really showed how great of a mentor and how genuine he is.

[@tashineary1417]

This honestly made me tear up when he was talking about recording that whole song in one take sitting on a couch with the handheld, it’s important that he knew he would never feel exactly like that again 😢 I’ve had many moments like that, and that I’m compelled to use in that moment in a creative way and you just can’t replicate it, it has to be that way.

[@jameso6508]

52:55 is such a good quote, putting this here just for myself to remember it

[@bubeudeh]

47:31 and that's why wilshire feels SO REAL. i can HEAR the emotion. tyler's a genius.

[@cmooreHD]

Any time I see these Tyler interviews on converse channel, its a must click and watch and send to my friends while I watch !

The first interview that i watch from front to back. Damn, there's so much gems in this. Thank you, Tyler. Thank you, Converse.
