In the lead-up to Tyler The Creator’s new album, “CHROMAKOPIA,” a fresh snippet has stirred the pot without naming names.
Fans eagerly await the full release, but Tyler decided to tease them with a new track, “THOUGHT I WAS DEAD.” In it, he touches on previous statements about the hip-hop industry’s dynamics and critics have taken notice.
Earlier this year, Tyler sparked discussions after his comments on white rappers and their relationship with hip-hop culture. While he never explicitly named anyone, his words sparked speculation, particularly around rapper ian.
During a chat with Maverick Carter, Tyler expressed discomfort with the way some artists approach the genre. He compared them to Mac Miller and Eminem, who, in his view, showed genuine respect for the music.
Tyler’s words resonate with many. ‘White boys mocking this s**t, and y’all mad at me? Y’all can suck my d**k,’ he rapped, throwing shade at those he believes are inauthentic.
The buzz revolves around whether Tyler’s remarks in “THOUGHT I WAS DEAD” address his earlier critique head-on. Meanwhile, the rapper remains tight-lipped, leaving room for interpretation and debate.
Ian’s management took these comments to heart but have yet to receive direct acknowledgment from Tyler. This ambiguity fuels fan theories, adding another layer to the already layered hip-hop narrative.
As “CHROMAKOPIA” drops, listeners are on edge to see if Tyler expands on these thoughts or if it remains a mystery. For now, the artist’s camp seems more focused on the music itself.
As Tyler The Creator’s “CHROMAKOPIA” hits the airwaves, fans must decide for themselves whether the hints dropped in “THOUGHT I WAS DEAD” are mere coincidence or a deliberate nod to past controversies.
