  • What's amazing is, check out the back.

  • Look at the sweaters the guys are wearing.

  • What do you think about that?

  • They're tight.

  • It's beautiful.

  • Maybe you could pan the camera over.

  • Who do we got over there?

  • Taco, Jasper, Jamie, your bitch, Masaki.

  • Heatwave?

  • What can you say more about Heatwave?

  • I think you want to tell the people about Heatwave at all, Tyler.

  • About 77, 78 type stuff.

  • Some good old fusion funk.

  • There's three white dudes in a group.

  • Three black dudes.

  • I think it was the only time there was peace and they made happy music.

  • A lot of people wasn't hating on each other.

  • It's kind of tight.

  • It's beautiful.

  • Tyler, what does MF Doom smell like?

  • I don't remember.

  • I don't think he smelled weird.

  • He had ashy hands, but other than that, he was really nice.

  • I can help you with that.

  • Check this out.

  • I don't know if you've seen this, but this is the MF Doom Scratch and Sniff CD-DVD.

  • Have you seen that?

  • I didn't know they released this one.

  • Check it out.

  • Scratch and Sniff it.

  • You can see what MF Doom smells like.

  • Oh shit.

  • Oh my god.

  • What does it smell like?

  • You're getting addicted.

  • Smell it.

  • I don't know what that smells like.

  • It's supposed to smell like steak, but I think it smells like chocolate.

  • It smells like chocolate and peanut butter.

  • Like nasty ass Nutter Butters and shit.

  • What do you think about MF Doom collectibles?

  • Have you seen the Mad Villain doll at all?

  • Yeah.

  • I know who put this out.

  • Stones Throw.

  • Yeah, Stones Throw.

  • They did it.

  • I have the t-shirt with this on it.

  • I forgot who did it.

  • But yeah, this is cool.

  • He's not this buff in person.

  • Do you think there'll ever be a Tyler doll?

  • Probably not.

  • Yeah, my fans will probably cut a hole in it and fuck it.

  • Baboon?

  • No.

  • Or they could eat you.

  • Because I don't know if you've seen this, Tyler.

  • What do we have in the towel right here?

  • Thought it was a cum rag, Narwhal.

  • Yeah, pretty close to that, Baboon.

  • It is the Danger Doom bowl.

  • Cereal bowl.

  • Bowl.

  • Bowling ball.

  • What do you think about that?

  • Like these collectibles for the Doom.

  • This is tight.

  • I like doing cool shit.

  • And this is cool.

  • Cereal bowl is really nice.

  • And you are Tyler?

  • Morgan Freeman's son.

  • The creator?

  • Perry.

  • Are you really Tyler, the creator, though?

  • No.

  • No, my real birth name is Deshawn.

  • No, I was thinking, are you really Tyler, the creator?

  • Because I have a gift for you, Tyler.

  • Check out this from 1988.

  • Einstein.

  • Does this not look like you?

  • Yo, this nigga's shirt is fire as fuck, though.

  • I'm feeling the stripes with the gold and, like, this shit's really nice.

  • Turn it over.

  • Total golf flying action happening on the back.

  • Look at the shorts.

  • Yo, yeah, I'm feeling this dude.

  • Hey, he actually dressed like I would run that.

  • He's tight.

  • That's 1988, so I was wondering, maybe that was the first Tyler, the creator.

  • Yeah, this guy could be dead, but he's tight.

  • Einstein from England, and there's an instrumental on there for you to rap over tonight.

  • Yeah, I'ma listen to this.

  • I'ma rap to this on stage tonight.

  • Tyler, the creator, I noticed that the Slater beat.

  • Ah, shit.

  • I'm so sleepy.

  • Can you hear me try to yell?

  • My voice is gone.

  • You wanna hear me try to yell?

  • Shut up!

  • I'll fuck you up!

  • Fuck you!

  • Ah!

  • The Slater beat.

  • What about it?

  • Influence, and I have another gift for you, Tyler.

  • Jaune.

  • You love the Jaune, right?

  • Tell the people about that.

  • Okay, Jaune, released maybe 1994.

  • Their first album produced Jaune.

  • Fucking, the nigga from Naughty by Nature produced it.

  • One of the greatest albums ever.

  • It's prettiest chords over just hard-ass breakbeats.

  • These two bald ladies just singing.

  • It's fucking tight.

  • And like, the Wolf album is full-on inspired by a lot of the R&B from that era.

  • Just 90s R&B.

  • It's really sick.

  • I love also that you're down with the Bobby Humphrey.

  • What can you tell people about Bobby Humphrey?

  • She was a flute player.

  • She's really sick.

  • Larry Mazzell, the Mazzell brothers, it's his two brothers, and they kind of started fusion jazz in the early 70s and stuff, so things like Donald Byrd and Gary Bartz and Bobby Humphrey, they produced a lot of sick shit, and this is one of their best things.

  • The best song from her is, oh my God, I'm drawing a blank, New York Times.

  • It's fucking incredible.

  • I legit cried when I first heard it.

  • And Madlib sampled Bobby Humphrey, and you guys sampled Madlib.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • For Cold Ship.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • Steppin' Into Tomorrow, it was number 10 off Madlib's Shades of Blue album, and yeah, he sampled Bobby Humphrey, and it's really good.

  • That's the Mazzell brothers' production.

  • They're amazing.

  • Telling a creator, quote, hope my mom don't catch me trying to set mood.

  • Little red tube, fuck lotion, I don't need...

  • Lube?

  • Lube!

  • What is that from?

  • I said that.

  • What song is that, Cold Ship?

  • Tamale.

  • Oh, what verse is that?

  • Damn, what verse is that?

  • That has to be the last verse.

  • Yeah, that has to be the last verse.

  • I never performed that, so I forgot.

  • But you do need lube.

  • I mean, I guess you don't.

  • You can just go dry dickhead and shit.

  • Do you go dry dickhead?

  • I have something to help you with that, Tyler, the creator.

  • Some bacon lube for you.

  • Your sketch.

  • You put bacon juice on your dick, huh, narwhal?

  • That's for you.

  • Nah, nigga, you got that.

  • You was like, oh, let me grab this.

  • Because you love the bacon.

  • You haven't given up on bacon, have you?

  • No, I slowed down, but I still eat bacon probably like once a day.

  • Can't lie.

  • And Tyler, speaking of sex and stuff, did you see what they have here?

  • The Ja Rule condom?

  • Have you seen that?

  • Wow, Thug Lovin'.

  • This is off of his fourth album.

  • The one where he's leaning on the fucking thing, I think.

  • No, no, no, Thug Lovin'.

  • No, that's not what case.

  • That's off Pain Is Love.

  • Thug Lovin'.

  • Which song is that?

  • Is that the one with fucking Bobby Brown?

  • Where they're on the fucking roof with the helicopter?

  • Yeah, that's Thug Lovin'.

  • Pop Niggas, number four, produced by the Neptunes is on there.

  • One of the worst Neptunes beats ever.

  • That song fucking sucks.

  • It's off that album.

  • What is that album called?

  • Anyway, this Ja Rule condom's tight.

  • Fuck a thug bitch to this shit.

  • Or just put it on my dick and listen to the greatest hits of murder.

  • He can dance around my room.

  • Baboom?

  • Yeah.

  • And here's an important gentleman I want to ask you about, Tyler.

  • Ronnie McNair.

  • What can you say about Ronnie McNair?

  • He's fire.

  • I was just listening to Since I Don't Have Your Love by him today.

  • He's sick.

  • Sagittarian Affairs, another good track by this nigga.

  • He's really good.

  • Look at this nigga.

  • Niggas from the 70s are crazy.

  • He's tight.

  • Tyler, your early days, did you grow up near a Scientology church?

  • I don't think it was one in Hawthorne, but I'm scared to say it because Scientology niggas are kind of just weird and I don't want nobody to kill me.

  • There wasn't one in the neighborhood?

  • Was there one in Hawthorne, Jasper?

  • Nah, not in Hawthorne.

  • Unless we did not know about it.

  • That's fucking scary.

  • At your 8th grade talent show, you danced to Omarion.

  • What can you tell the people about that?

  • I knew that was going to happen.

  • I used to dance.

  • I still can dance.

  • I'm black.

  • I danced to Touch by Omarion.

  • It was tight.

  • I won the talent show and I did the dance moves and shit.

  • It was tight.

  • And KC Veggie's dad, he drove you to your first gig at Hawthorne?

  • Nah, we walked.

  • Me, Jasper, Skylar, and like two other niggas walked from my school to Hawthorne High to the fucking little thing we had at that thing.

  • Remember?

  • I wore the green and orange striped shirt.

  • Yeah, some weird fashion show thing, but KC's dad and KC was there.

  • It was tight.

  • And there was some random niggas drums on stage and I just grabbed the sticks and started playing and KC started rapping.

  • It was tight as fuck.

  • And KC Veggie's dad was a bodyguard for Jay-Z.

  • Yeah, oddly enough.

  • Was that like an inspiration?

  • Nah, nigga, I didn't find that out until like a month ago.

  • I didn't really know until I was like, what the fuck?

  • It's tight.

  • What music have you turned your mom onto?

  • None.

  • Well, I have something, a gift for you to give your mom in honor of Canada, some Gino Vanelli.

  • This nigga's Canadian?

  • He is indeed.

  • What the fuck?

  • I was just listening to Love is a Night by him earlier today.

  • He's fucking tight.

  • This nigga.

  • From Montreal, Canada.

  • And you have Canadian roots too, so I thought it'd be perfect for your mom.

  • Will your mom like this?

  • A fellow Canadian.

  • Herb Alpert fucking helped produce this album.

  • That's nuts.

  • Bernie Grudman fucking masters all my albums and he mastered this.

  • That's crazy.

  • He's amazing, isn't he, Bernie?

  • He's fucking awesome.

  • This is tight.

  • Thank you so much.

  • People gotta move.

  • He's great.

  • Powerful people.

  • It's a live video of him performing at 10 out of 10.

  • How close were you to getting Stevie Wonder on your LP?

  • How close were you?

  • Supposedly he heard it and got it in his hands from his son.

  • Supposedly, but I'm not 100% sure, but the fact that that is even something I could talk about is awesome.

  • I have a gift for you, Tyler, for Earl.

  • For you to give to Earl.

  • It's this right here.

  • A Gary Wilson LP.

  • That's wild.

  • Because Earl sampled Gary Wilson on Grief.

  • What can you tell people about Gary Wilson?

  • Didn't you meet Gary Wilson?

  • Yeah, I've been a fan of Gary Wilson since probably like 07.

  • Stone Store re-released his first album, You Really Think You Know Me, from 77.

  • Yes.

  • Oh, yeah, 77.

  • I was correct.

  • It was back when he was just putting his shit on MySpace.

  • Yeah, he makes really good stuff.

  • The Radicals mixtape, instead of Ugly Girls, I think it's number 10 on there, I did a little interlude over You Were Too Good To Be True, but it never made it.

  • I might release that one day.

  • I look at the glasses and I think, hmm, influence on Tyler, the Creator, because he has some glasses like Gary does there.

  • Yeah, those are sick.

  • I might make something like that for the next GoFling release.

  • These are really sick.

  • Tyler, the Creator, Cherry Bomb has Cherry Glazer.

  • Oh, yeah, Clem from Cherry Glazer.

  • I love that you have the band Cherry Glazer on Cherry Bomb.

  • Yeah, Clem's awesome.

  • She was fun to work with.

  • Give a shout out to them and what can you tell people?

  • Burger Records, Burgerama, Cherry Glazer, amazing.

  • I've never been to Burgerama and I've always wanted to go, but every time, like the past two years when they have it, I'm on tour.

  • And I think Mac DeMarco's playing this year and I'm bummed I can't go.

  • But Cherry Glazer, they're part of the Burger Records team.

  • What was it like doing some Cherry Glazering?

  • It sounds like we had a big fuck orgy in the ass.

  • Cherry Glazering.

  • That might be a sick porno name.

  • Would you be into that?

  • OK, scratch that idea.

  • Yeah, Clem's awesome.

  • The band's sick.

  • I love their music and they're working on new shit right now.

  • And from what I hear, it's really good.

  • Tyler, the Creator, are you still into lettuce and ice cream?

  • What the fuck?

  • Yo, we used to be so stupid.

  • I mean, ice cream is good, but I don't eat lettuce much anymore.

  • What do we eat now, Jasper?

  • What the fuck did you just say?

  • Did you just say each other?

  • Babu, let's bring him over right here.

  • Who do we have over there?

  • Come on over.

  • He's the oldest.

  • I'm older than them, so they're my little niggas.

  • We mentioned the Ja Rule condom.

  • We mentioned the Ja Rule condom.

  • And I was thinking, you're also into that type of stuff, aren't you, Jasper?

  • The Miley Cyrus blow-up doll.

  • Where did you get that?

  • Somebody gave it to me for my birthday at the store.

  • I don't know.

  • I don't know.

  • How do you know that?

  • Because I had it and I don't know what happened to it.

  • It's incredible.

  • Could you describe?

  • Did you guys see it at all?

  • I never saw it.

  • It made it to my house.

  • I don't know if it made it out of my house.

  • What the fuck happened to that shit?

  • I don't know what happened to it.

  • That's so weird.

  • It went missing.

  • I'm not gonna lie.

  • I might have fucked it once.

  • Not saying I did or didn't, but it could have happened.

  • I was thinking, you can find it, but I have a gift for you right here.

  • Gangsta doodles.

  • What do we have?

  • We opened to number two.

  • What do we have there on gangsta doodles?

  • This is to help you bring back the doll.

  • Oh, it's Miley Cyrus.

  • I actually went to one of her concerts and seen her do this live.

  • It was pretty cool.

  • And if we open it up to number two, what do we have right there?

  • Somebody that perhaps you see quite a bit.

  • This is the amazing gangsta doodle.

  • Who is that?

  • Oh, that's my weird homie.
