Is Tyler The Creator Calling Out Ian #tylerthecreator #reaction

[ShadowRubberDuck]

I’m glad Logic was finally able to talk bout this issue!

[NRobbi]

He's not mocking them, it just seems like mocking because the music is that bad.

[Microfoot]

Maybe there's a semantic difference between "mocking" and "making a mockery of." Like Ian might not be making fun of it, but people could argue he's doing a poor, inauthentic impression of a style of rap he's a fan of and that it's insulting to see him do that.

Tyler already caught attention saying what he said, than Melon proceeds to completely murder the kid in way worse ways lmao

[alexsantebla]

Tyler clarifies later in the interview that he meant to use the term appropriation, not mocking. He called it audio blackface and a blatant imitation. It’s not nicer but it’s more accurate imo🤷🏽‍♂️

[Noirlore]

This is literally making Ian more famous, just stop giving him attention and he’ll go away

[marwan-hashad]

You know it's serious when tyler talks like that 🤷‍♂️

[DingLaDong]

Wait.. wasn’t this guy mocking rap when he was coming up?

[garrettjohnson]

If his name was to pimp an Ian he would be melon’s favorite

[Sketchguy]

Mocking them vs making a mockery of them

[alldayHK]

this is what happens when you leave the gate open

[Mrbagels]

The fact that ian is the upcoming rapper that people are talking about is sad. We need better new artists fr

[AnarquiaCookbook]

This is gonna age tremendously when hes making country music at this time next year

[trillboulevard]

His songs are vibes, he puts alot of lines that have feeling to them, if you read his lyrics hes on that yung lean sad boy wave

[turtlellama]

"I think he is mocking me and my friends."
"No. He's just bad."

[jeremiahsoto]

Plot twist, he was talking about Melon

[Dez_]

Just a tiktok artist who will be forgotten in a year

[TheBlankNoName]

He’s not mocking them but he’s definitely making a mockery of the culture and devaluing the culture with every release especially now that people like Lil Boat are accepting him with Yachty being a respected name in rap and him co-signing this guy memeing on the culture fr

[Bosschoice]

I wanna skip already a decade to the era where Ian is making a genre bending neo soul hip hop album

[kjk]

If his music was good, Tyler probably wouldn't have seen it as a mockery.
