I’ve said this since the commencing. The ‘hating women” thing – it’s so nuts. It’s based on things I made when I was super young, when no one was listening.”

“We came at the right second when you could still be irrational , you could still be a kid and fuck up,” he told Rosenberg in the August 2021 interview. “You could still hold satire. You could have a conversation even if you disagree.”
And Tyler knows he just slid by. Since breaking out on his own, he has slowly evolved into a modern-day renaissance man — and it’s truly been inspiring to see, if not a bit unbelievable. After all, he’s the same person wh

In his self-directed visuals, Tyler gathers all of his alter egos from his past album covers together on a stage and raps each apology using a different version of himself.
