Interview Magazine always has such an interesting way of setting up interviews for the mag. It’s always entertaining reading interviews conducted amongst entertainers, artists, designers, etc… This time around, the staff paired Waka Flocka and Tyler the Creator up for an interview. Strange, right but it works.

Waka Flocka had the opportunity of interviewing Tyler with additional assistance from the editorial staff. Tyler has made it known via twitter that he’s a fan of Waka Flocka so reading this was actually really cool.

Check out some of the excerpts from the interview:


FLAME: So would you describe Odd Future as a hip-hop heavy-metal group? Or a punk-rock rap group? How do you describe what you and your crew do?

TYLER: I don’t like either description. I don’t like being put in a box. I just make music, you know? When you’re put in a box, people have a set mind-state of what your music could sound like before they even look into it. Like, if no one ever heard of me, but I’m hip-hop-metal-rock, then they’re already gonna have an expectation of what the music will sound like. Then, when they go in and finally listen to it, it might be different from what they thought, and they could automatically hate it because they already had expectations.

…

FLAME: Are y’all tryin’ to change the direction of hip-hop?

TYLER: I’m not trying to change the direction of anything. I’m just doing what I wanna do, saying what I wanna say, and if the shit happens to change, then that’s cool. But I just like making the music I like making.
