The Tyler, The Creator & Joey Bada$$ MTV Interview That Went All Wrong!

[@juanelijah11]

“Your face look like Squidward’s house”. If you know how leftbrain looks… 😂😭💀

[@RobMarkman]

Naaaaaah Joey went OFF! Lol. So the thing was while Joey’s video was playing he was ok stand by and can hear them talking sh*t about him off air. So when he got on air he was ready to fire back

[@MartyMcFly__25]

Rob you should be proud of that interview. I remember when that shit came out! . I was in high school and was just fans of both . I thought it was just dope and they was on screen together. No static ever came from it which is great. It’s an iconic moment for me personally. I’ll try to find that Joey interview for you, I remember that one too.

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah I’m glad no beef or any real friction came from that and everyone’s careers flourished.

[@nate_thegreat313]

Back in high school you either was a Odd Future head or a Pro Era head, man that was a great era of music especially with those two collectives

[@RobMarkman]

It had to be one or the other? Not both?

[@nate_thegreat313]

@@RobMarkman Nah there was like that middle majority that was mainly into both of them. I was mainly at the time more into Pro Era because I was more into Joey & Steez but later on I grew love for OF because Earl was my favorite out of that bunch

[@twinpeakhotel]

It was for sure wolf gang or taylor gang

[@cordovanghostal6436]

Also Odd Future or A$AP Mob was a thing.

[@pulluponkhaleeq]

@@RobMarkmanit didnt have to be both but at the time i was def more of a Fan of Pro Era than Odd Future i felt like Earl and Domo were the only one who could keep up lyrically at the time

[@ACGBOOTS]

Tbh you can tell Earl , Domo & a couple others thought Joey x Steez was dope its just they couldn’t break character with Tyler since their whole image was controversy

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah. I got a sense they they didn’t wanna break character while i was on set

[@JAYSUICIDEDOORS]

[@paulbarnes8732]

This was a such a fire storytime. Thank you for sharing all of it, I felt myself locking in and soaking up every word and name drop from the places you were at to the people you spoke/worked with. As someone who's interviewed people before but just recently started doing it consistently, I'm somewhat green overall. I went from having someone tell me I was one of their favorite interviewers to one that didn't go well to another excellent one after that. It's truly a process. The way Tyler said "I wouldn't let it bother me" was a great glimpse of how he really has always done his thing his way though. It's such a contrast for him being known for trolling to people in those days to now where everything he says in interviews leads to discourse lol.

[@RobMarkman]

Good luck on your Journey!!! And thanks for the comment and sharing your pov

[@Modeloman8]

Sway was "sick". He ain't wanna deal with odd future . He fed you to the wolves lmao

[@KnowYourMarvelNews]

That interview turned me onto Joey when I was in middle school. I was becoming an Odd Future fan but hated how they clowned on him and respected how he handled it. Lowkey a classic interview and a super fun crossover over two greats of the next gen

Glad it impacted you. I felt so bad. But dope that fans found it as a pivotal moment

Ironically (to me at least) it was one of the most memorable episodes of rapfix. I think the way it happened worked out better for Joey than a formal Sway episode would have too. He roasted odd future back in the middle of a school day LMAOOOO that was a big look for a high schooler at the time.

While Tyler might have made some valid points on his Maverick’s interview, he doesn’t acknowledge how much of the same things he’s complaining about he used to partake in. I’m glad that Joey was secure enough to not let something like that affect his output.

I remember being huge fans of both OF and Joey at the time. I felt SO BAD for Joey. Earl was the only one giving Joey words of encouragement, Joey was still in high school at the time. In retrospect, that wild, fake edgy persona was SO CRINGE. So glad they matured out of that.

[@BasedJ222]

Super dope interview. Looking back at it now and seeing everyone’s comments about it.. seems like a pretty legendary interview. We all remember it. Just had to be there. Crazy to look back on it now seeing how everyone’s careers panned out. Glad they didn’t let this escalate into anything bigger. Remember Joey saying a couple years back that Tyler still inspires him. And I’m glad they got that collab in with 327!! So fire

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah. Alls well that ends well. And Joey is a real one, how could you not be inspired by Tyler?

[@Thoughtitwasadrought]

lol that was such a crazy moment but i remember thinking u handled it smoothly fr

[@RobMarkman]

Haha i tried my best

[@benjaminmajorUT]

It would be dope to know your thoughts on why the Beast Coast movement with Pro Era, The Underachievers and Flatbush Zombies never really broke through the mainstream. I always thought it was interesting because I feel they each had a really strong fanbase and movement at the time but how it never really broke through to a larger audience.

[@RobMarkman]

I don’t think they ever tried to make breakthrough type of music on a consistent basis. They stayed true to their core

Yeah i loved that Joey didn’t play victim. He shot right back lol. But yeah this time in music was special for real

[@akeemisaiah]

This just unlocked a core hip hop memory for me! I remember that moment like it was yesterday, I was also in HS watching it live. Being from Flatbush this made me go check out who OF was because I was the biggest Pro Era fan at the time. Till this day Tyler & Joey are two of my favorite rappers. RIP STEEZ!!!

Earl telling someone “you can actually rap” is a huge compliment

[@Beat_daK0tonai_oi]

Bro i remember watching this and i genuinely thought that they brought a fan. Had no clue who Joey was at the time nor that he was a rapper, so i felt exactly like them. Another lyrical rapper trying to do what ppl were doing in the 90s. Little did i know Joey Badass would help to revitalize Boom Bap Rap for a new generation. But seriously though given Tyler's thoughts on Boom Bap at the time, who really thought this was a goof idea. It felt forced too, and shout out to Sid who had to remind them he was a kid trying to make music just like them, otherwise they would have torn into him completely 😅

[@RobMarkman]

That was our show, OF were guests on our show and every week get in the game was a segment. Their team didn’t raise any concerns beforehand and i don’t know if MTV would’ve changed the show, but we went forward with the show format.

[@Beat_daK0tonai_oi]

Naaaahhh I remember you now from MTV back in the day. I’m not going to lie I didn’t watch the video when I commented 😅. Now that I have watched it, I can say you did the best you could dealing with those degenerates 😂. Odd Future was always hard to interview back then because regardless they always made fun of the interviewer. If you tried to be cool with them, if tried to joke around with them, if you tried taking it serious. They were irreverent for sure, but more than that anti establishment. They struggled to make it at first and held a lot of grudges with publications and media especially legacy media like MTV. Regardless I’m glad Joey and the whole Pro Era make it. I had to go back to that interview after I listened to 1999 because I couldn’t believe it was the same dude 🤯. Thanks for your work and no that you created a very memorable moment.

[@ARx0xoo]

Yeah i thought it matched OF persona, because it was corny. In that sense it made sense. Now, most of those dudes in that group at home, broke eating Cheetos while Bada$$ out here still making moves without looking stupid.

[@RobMarkman]

Seeeeesh

[@OROLAFAMILIA]

Yes because Joey badass sacrifice capital STEEZ do your research

[@shenelliskoolasf]

most of them are doing fine lmao, and to downplay OF’s success and influence is honestly crazy. Tyler, Earl and Frank Ocean came out of that group. Top artists in their respective sub genres and the supreme surge? that was Odd Future, early playboi carti, or other alt rappers now, sound like odd future songs like 😭 this is a very biased take
