On Top of a Mountain with Tyler, The Creator | Fast Company

[@undisclosed_eb]

I just love hearing this man speak. Someone get him on a 5 hour podcast and just let him get everything off his chest. Music, albums he loves, specific moments in songs, movies, tv shows, colours, lakes, food, vehicles,... Just let him speak. Also Mark is cool as fuck.

he never let that kid spirit die . Lot of people die when they get that corp job or go to school for PHD etc . they die in their 20s bcuz of pressure from certain peers and parents to compete with them or make them happy. NOBODY MATTERS BUT YOU . THEY DIE SUPER YOUNG but don't get buried til they're old .

I came into contact with Tyler and odd future, back in 2009/10ish when i was in eighth grade. I was fortunate enough to have a friend whose dad owned a fruit produce store, few stores down from the first ODD future store with the donut front. At first I had no idea who this dude was and after the first interaction i was a fan. He really liked detail and it was cool and the conversation he could have with someone who isn’t even on his level is admirable. Fast forward a year from then. I became engulfed with odd future and what not. Been to all the carnivals since the first one. And watching this man grow into who he is today is a real wow moment. Like damn. Man bought me fat burger back in 2013 because i wasted all my money on a taxi to see the release of wolf. Point is, I hope that one day the newer kid generation can experience that feeling i did. It’s so cool seeing someone grow man lol. Seeing your own ideas spread because someone like this man was able to turn on a switch at a young age and boom now we here. Keep going T. We still need finish the “my neck my back” karoke shit that you had poppin lol.

the way he talks abt Virgil I had a very similar experience and feeling when i lost my dad and i graduated middle school a year later and all I wanted was for him to just be there and I ended up winning an iPad for a reward of overcoming adversity (his death) and keeping my grades up, that alone just makes it feel like he was there.

I just love his growth as a person and as a artist. I’ve been rocking with him since 2012. I’m 25 and Tyler is 30. It’s like we grew up together. I was the weird black girl and see someone just as weird and wasn’t typical was refreshing. I loved Pharrell growing up too and songs with chords/beautiful melodies from old to new songs. People would call me old and weird because I loved all different types of music. Anyway, im with you Tyler until the end. 🙌🏾
