' White kids said I brag too much and the Black kids say it’s inspiring, the duality is tiring.Call Me If You Get Lost is the sixth studio album by American rapper and producer Tyler, the Creator. But, you know, some kids think it’s inspirational … For some people, they're like, ‘This is vapid, this is superficial, you’re just like all the other rappers.’ … So it’s really interesting. “Bro, I’ve been super financially turnt since I was 19 years old … like Tyler talking about the Beemer, but when Tyler talks about the Rolls Royce, it’s like, ‘OK, you’re a hypocrite.’ They’re both vehicles. Tyler’s Call Me If You Get Lost dropped in 2021 and introduced fans to Tyler’s alter ego Tyler Baudelaire, a well-off jet-setter who enjoys the finer things in life. “I’m like, ‘Oh, Q-Tip is making an album an environment that’s really his life,” he said. “And I believe when that came out a lot of backpacker dudes were like, ‘What the fuck is he doing?’ But it’s like, you like the version of Q-Tip you think you know, but this is actually him now at his most honest, and Call Me If You Get Lost that mirrors the way that I truly lived … and Q-Tip made the blueprint for that to happen. I just want to pay my respects to Q-Tip for laying that blueprint now.” Though some fans were disappointed in the lyrical shift, Tyler was inspired by it. The former is an infectious song about a special girl in his life, while the latter is about the joys of owning a fancy vehicle. Tyler went on to highlight “Vivrant Thing” and “Let’s Ride,” two standout tracks from Q-Tip’s Amplified. “And him hanging out at a club in Paris or Capris or Atlanta or a different part of New York with these beautiful women, and he leaves and gets inside of his awesome car, listening to fuckin’ Marvin Gaye or whatever, that’s his true lifestyle that he lives.” He’s traveling the world, he’s able to buy nice things, he’s able to probably be around beautiful women and just do awesome things,” Tyler continued. Tyler said Q-Tip’s lyricism began changing as he became increasingly successful - a transition that left some fans confused and upset. And Q-Tip and them - backpack dudes, fuckin’ tie-dye shirts and stuff, wearin’ beads and shit - it’s really important.”
“You had Native Tongues and all this stuff, and you had, like Wu-Tang, and you had NWA, and then you had the intellectual that KRS-One was… so at that time, you’re 18, you’re finding the pocket that you’re gonna live in. “I wouldn’t exist without - come on, Q-Tip is truly the Yoda of the pocket I exist it,” Tyler said, before referencing Q-Tip’s 1999 debut album, Amplified. Tyler said he was especially inspired by Q-Tip’s solo work, which polarized many fans who believed it strayed too far from A Tribe Called Quest’s established style. Tyler, the Creator is giving Q-Tip his flowers.ĭuring the Season 2 premiere of Rap Radar, the Grammy-winning rapper praised Q-Tip’s music evolution and the indelible mark he left on hip-hop.
