there's no joke! maybe we define trolling differently.there's a scene in that K article that explains Tyler perfectlyhe's watching an older man push a wheeled cart and yells something like "look at that motherfucker with the walker on wheels!"older guy hears him, stops and stares daggers at tylerTyler looks away and mumbles something about how if dude was fourteen he woulda had his ass kickeddude is a creative, somewhat maladjusted net kiddie looking to rile people up who backs WAY OFF when he's confrontedlike when bruno mars came back with a godhelpme BATTLE RAP, tyler was all "whoa didn't know dude could spit like that"

he is screaming shit out of the moving car of the internet. there is no thought. there is no message. he is an idiot.
― crazy donkey winger (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 May 2011 19:56 (fifteen years ago)
and i believe the children are our future
so basically you agree he is a thoughtless, spineless bully who should really shut the fuck up, but you like his music
― I HAVE ISSUES (DJP), Friday, 20 May 2011 19:56 (fifteen years ago)
trolling occurs w/in a persona, aims only to generate a negative reaction, constitutes a childish kind of competitive play. maybe most importantly, is a product of internet culture and exists w/in its rules, aesthetics, ethics. note to lars von trier: does not work well irl.
that aside, fuck tyler
― contenderizer, Friday, 20 May 2011 19:57 (fifteen years ago)

whether "thoughtless, spineless bully who should really shut the fuck up" is a "persona" or not is up for grabs, but when you're being a dick like this, who cares.again, for those who missed this bit a gazillion posts up, in the NYT piece with caramanica, jon talks about tyler throwing a half finished frosty milkshake out the window at some well dressed strangers. you can't do that ironically.
― crazy donkey winger (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 May 2011 20:00 (fifteen years ago)
is the irony of contenderizer's last sentence lost on him? I wonder
anyway the "sock the bitch in her mouth" thing dates as far back as he's been on twitter. He used to randomly tweet "Chris Brown Socked That Bitch In Her Mouth" which I always read as transparent trolling and not a celebration of Chris Brown beating Rihanna
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 May 2011 20:01 (fifteen years ago)
now that aside, he's a creative guy, an excellent media manipulator and a pretty interesting musicianbut he's engaging in some pointless dumbfuck behavior and lyricism no doubt
― crazy donkey winger (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 May 2011 20:02 (fifteen years ago)
the whole fuck 2dopeboyz war mostly comes down to him submitting tracks to them and they didn't post them cuz they went into their spam.could've just as easily have been my blog!

thing is, i bet he's not getting negative responses i bet his followers love shit like that and back him up on it

given how quickly he backs down when a guy calls him on his shit, it is certain that his audience is sending him neverending kudos

To matt's theory about Tyler's followers, it seems like the response to him is the same as you'd find for any rapper
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 May 2011 20:12 (fifteen years ago)
& really much, much more innocuous than, say, when a rapper disses another rapper directly on Twitter using homophobic insults
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 May 2011 20:14 (fifteen years ago)
um
― I HAVE ISSUES (DJP), Friday, 20 May 2011 20:15 (fifteen years ago)
i checked, the responses weren't that many, mixed about 1/2 and 1/2 posi and negi
however each of the bitch punching comments got retweeted about 100 times
― Blink 187um (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 20 May 2011 20:15 (fifteen years ago)
oh dammit that wasn't supposed to be posted, stupid aging reflexes
yeah I didn't check # of retweets -- I just searched "@fucktyler"

Looking at this post, then his twitter feed, its hard not to think he knows exactly what he's doing. Which I think almost kind of makes it worse?

What's the average age of a golf Wang fan?
― The Chicago Choad (thebingo), Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:42 (fifteen years ago)
depends when you ask, it probably goes up a year every couple months
― Mordyeux (some dude), Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:43 (fifteen years ago)
Just makes me quote a tweet from last night. "just got to thinking that at the same age Tyler was when he made goblin -19-, rakim made "paid in full" and sounded incredibly wise and adult.
Not my tweet, but made perfect sense
― The Chicago Choad (thebingo), Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:50 (fifteen years ago)
all music made by 19 year olds should be judged by how wise and adult it sounds
― flopson, Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:52 (fifteen years ago)
As someone who comes from that generation of rap and doesn't quite get the hype.
― The Chicago Choad (thebingo), Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:53 (fifteen years ago)
Floppy, get one paid in full. Hahah
― The Chicago Choad (thebingo), Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:54 (fifteen years ago)
And I'm not goin to argue over Tyler and rakim because it's not even worth it. Tyler will be worthy of an arguement when he approaches the level of rakim.
― The Chicago Choad (thebingo), Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:57 (fifteen years ago)
whatever i dont even know what the hell youre talking about
― flopson, Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:59 (fifteen years ago)
Obviously
― The Chicago Choad (thebingo), Sunday, 22 May 2011 01:00 (fifteen years ago)
Rakim is obviously in that GOAT kind of category. Tyler is merely promising. Anyway he's both a producer and rapper and will more than likely move more into the production side of things more as his career progresses.

i didn't know tyler hated the jerk kids til now - that's the blackest mark against him so far imo
he can come back when he makes a song as good as the bangz' "get it girl" - til then sit the fuck DOWN, brat
― the smoke cloud of pure hatred (lex pretend), Sunday, 22 May 2011 17:12 (fifteen years ago)
I dunno how much he really hates jerk kids. Someone posted a video upthread where he shouts out YG and Tayf3rd.
― The Reverend, Sunday, 22 May 2011 17:53 (fifteen years ago)
But lol at jerks being a less acceptable target for his hate than gays or women. That's where he's really crossed the line there.
