Pink, shorts and gold teeth: a conversation with Tyler The Creator The rapper talked about his brand, his cars and why he can't stand backpacks
«I really like bags, I think backpacks are strange past a certain age. After 23 they start to be weird, if you're a college student or going hiking take off that backpack, grab a nice bag and go. If you have a beard and you have a backpack, maybe you have a problem».
Tyler The Creator should be a stand-up comedian. Or at least it could, judging by the reaction of the audience that participated in Converse's Conversation with Tyler The Creator for the Creative All Star Series in London.
Of course, there was also talk about everything about Tyler rapper and producer, the incredible success of IGOR and how, from Flower Boy onwards, the music made by Tyler also pleased his mother:«It took me time to figure out how to get to this point and understand everything what I had to do. We'll be thinking about the next 10 years, because I don't know what I'm going to do, but it's definitely going to be something incredible, but finally getting to this point and seeing what I've done in the last 10 years is something that's really made me feel good. I was glad I won the Grammys, sure, but doing the performance I did, in that environment, was all that mattered. The fact that they made me do it, that I came in with a fucking bus on stage, and doing the performance that I did and everyone talked about it, was a victory for me».
2019 was definitely Tyler's year, although he's come very close to perfection for the last decade. The only regrets? "Only two: the first is something I don't remember, and the second is not having seen Pharrell at Coachella."
