okay i get that the filthy frank book isnt like a literary masterpiece but it is actually a fun read especially if you grew up with him. awesome to see creators and musicians evolve into different lanes and be taken seriously in multiple creative outlets, cool to hear these guys history

[@TheMILVSCR]

My favorite thing about art is its subjectivity. If you love the way a specific piece of media looks, sounds, or makes you feel, that artist has reached you. The only thing that art has to do is touch you in a way that makes you happy, and it doesn't have to conform to everyone's standards.

[@immasleep8105]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="110">1:50</a>, dude when you said this it INSTANTLY made me think of robert downey jr. a teen star turned drug addict, everyone was like “welp that’s wraps for his acting career” and then he came back and absolutely killed his role as tony stark, which is funny because now he’s playing as doctor doom, donning the same mask MF DOOM did when he came back

[@AnAbsurdExistence]

Didn't think of that. Interesting parallel, thanks for sharing.

The transitions to the next artist are amazing in this video

[@JAPANESE_MAPLE]

iam so happy your back, your the reason i listen to MF DOOM and that led up me to listen to lyrical rap (JID, West Side gunn, Freddie Gibbs ETC)

[@huino4513]

best part with tyler is recently he finally got his own supreme collab after all these years of tyler wearing supreme and being a major part of supremes uprise in the early 2010s

[@charliebell5584]

Hearing George mention Donald will always be a moment of awe for me since they are my top 2 favorite artists. If they somehow collaboration, my life will be complete. We finally got a second collaboration between Tyler and Donald during his Coachella set this year since the crew crew episode on regular show. I just want an official Joji Gambino collab.

i fucking love joji. seeing him mention donald glover as an inspiration got me into childish gambino music and now they are both two of my favourite artists. their versatility is something else.

[@alexandra_the_great]

also i feel like theres a lot more to be said about joji. from his soundcloud days producing for other people and chloe burbank, to working behind the scenes on the weeknds party monster mv in 2016, to the extravaganza and the nectar album lore. hell even the cancelled 2014 joji music album. i cant help it, i just find him fascinating.

People do not realize how AMAZING Gambino's song Heartbeat is. The one clip you showed from a reviewer said he gave a 2 to the music Gambino released early on. Admittedly, I have to listen to those songs. But Heartbeat? Bro. The synth work is literally LEGENDARY.
