No shade, but those lyrics are def just edgelord ragebait bs. I don’t think he ever really meant any of that lol

And Eminem has an alter ego so he doesn't really mean it when he says he's gonna torture women, I still don't find it amusing lol

That’s understandable, I was just saying that I don’t think he’s ever been sincerely evil or anything lol

This is somehow best case scenario that confirm:
Kendrick is not that big contender.
Bad Bunny is also not that big of a threat than we think

The rap votes split are real. Either popular (kendrick) critical (Tyler) and veteran (clipse)

I thought if either of them win artist of the year, then it's locked.

And once again.. I was right

Nobody in the US cares either. He released like a 25 min “album”. I feel like I only ever see his name thrown around by award shows and critics. Giving industry plant 

Immediately no. I’ve never been the biggest fan of him but got into him when a friend took me to his IGOR release show and it blew my f*cking mind. He’s an immaculate artist and a KILLER performer. He actually reminds me of Gaga in terms of creative direction and control. He’s an extremely passionate artist who’s delved into so many mediums and the fashion world. Before I liked him, I experienced high school with him at the forefront of local music culture and the rise of him and his contemporaries in the local scene and people lining up for hours upon hours to support him. He had a bit of a messy history with his writing and story but at the end of the day - he’s a Los Angeles icon who grinded HARD in pursuit of following his passions without compromise. He’s a tremendous inspiration to a lot of people, especially those of us in Los Angeles who are natives. He comes from a local city within LA county called Hawthorne. He’s a testament of artistic excellence and commitment in a city where transplants try to define the culture. He produced and writes all his music and is a musical savant in many ways. Just cuz you don’t know who he is doesn’t mean he isn’t a true legend who hasn’t put SO much work in. Especially as a queer, Black man.

He has a decent fanbase in and outside the US. He also got a viral song with Sugar On My Tongue so he’s definitely gaining traction lately. 
I'm from Mexico and he was the one artist people wanted to see during the AXE Ceremonia music festival before it was cancelled due to the tragedy that occurred on the first day.

I do think it’s funny that 🚬s act like anyone outside of stan Twitter knows who Addison Rae or Ava Max are, yet have the audacity to claim no one has heard of Tyler 🪦
