A little old, but, thoughts?

 

I love OFWGKTA but was there any need to do that?

 

What did he do exactly? The video doesn't show much.

 

Is it because he was wrecking stuff?

 

He explained what happened on his Formspring:
“during RADICALS, I was on the piano playing the breakdown, only to notice that the music
and sound was low, lights went off and that shit wasnt right, I get up, look, and notice
that it was two girls hurt from the mosh pits behind them. I grab my mic to tell the crowd
to come calm down and inform security because it was none around in the front, but I then
find out the sound dude turned everything off. so I’m on stage while its mosh pits and
chaos on stage. I played live with Trash Talk, and it was a home show so everyone from OF
was there wildn) pointing at my mic tell sound dude to turn it up turn it up, hes shaking
his head no. I keep doing this for at least 70 seconds until I get fed up and run over to
him threw the crowd. I jump on his sound board and say’ nigga turn my fucking mic up its
bitches hurt, let me tell the crowd to calm down, they listen to me’ this nigga goes on
saying he doesnt have control his manager said this and that. I keep asking, we go back
and forth. I kick the plexi glass and stomp on the cheap ass soundboard, then throw my
mike on the floor. go back on stage just in time to throw a couple gifts out to the crowd
( it was the xmas show). someone states ‘ lets get you outta here’. I walk outside to like
20 cops, helicopters, shotguns and some other shit. jail is really cold dude, I had no
socks on. I’m fine tho, bail was alot even tho I didn’t hurt anyone, I damaged some shit.
and idk why rappers talk about jail like its cool, omg I would go crazy. all I could think
about was skating the bowl like 8 hours before haha. I havent looked but the media prolly
made it seem more epic than it actually is. but overall, I finally feel black.” -Tyler

 

Man, Tyler's the closest we have to a legendary musician in the 21st century. You just don't hear about shit like this anymore, it's always some publicity stunt these days.

 

I have to admit i love tyler the creator
