Tyler, The Creator - MASSA (Live at the AMAs)

AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS 2021

I love how they let him perform a lowkey ALBUM CUT instead of something more popular. People are finally respecting Tyler’s artistry and I love to see it.

[mubarak]

Tyler always has the best set design for his performances.

[FinesserX_Triniidadii]

He doesn’t just perform live. He goes out there and tells you a story

[PodtrashRadio]

"Mom was in the shelter when Yonkers dropped I don't say it,
when I got her out I knew that was the moment I made it,
I dont come from money
they'll deny it,
cuz I don't mirror the stereotypical products of my environment"



That was crazy
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[yonkers]

one thing about tyler, is that he is always gonna have the BEST live visuals

[GUIZZARD]

Happy to see massa finally getting the spotlight treatment, especially when it's such a charged song to sing in front of an audience. It seems like the more Tyler goes live with it the more he's comfortable with some of the stuff of the verses and straight-up ditches some of the more obscured parts for more literal verses (e.g. "custody between X and Y" in the og recording VS "boys and girls" in live), which takes some serious balls to do at an award event of all places. It's clear he's finally reached a point where he's comfortable with himself, props to him.

[Richmonky]

That finishing line still gives me chills bro

[mustashee]

2:34 I was listening to the studio version thinking about this performance and I had to run it back to confirm he said "boys and girls" instead of "X and Y". POWERFUL PERFORMANCE

[ShortHax]

Still can't believe he wasn't nominated, snubbed isn't even the right word

[k.]

He effortlessly made this so visually pleasing, literal artist of the year

[AJ-cteb]

Those little hops at 1:56 make Tyler look like a cartoon character which fits him so well that man’s something out of a dr seus book

[dieselclockwork]

Tyler is so good live. You can hear the confidence in his cadence just as easily as you can on his recorded songs. He is quickly becoming one of the biggest names in hip-hop and its long overdue. Big love for Tyler, hoping some day I can emulate a similar degree of confidence in my own songs!

[Mark.mp]

I love how this song basically encapsulates everything Tyler has been through his whole career

[daniil.dankovsky]

He has such a funny energy with him even when singing something sad. His live performances are great. Really loved the bird noise. Love this guy.

“you can’t relate to the things i say to these instrumentals, whether it’s wealth talk or shit that’s painful. i paint full pictures of my perspective on these drum breaks. just for you to tell me i’m not good from your lunch break.”

that’s that raw emotion shit

[squonkss]

Man, Tyler’s so genuine. He doesn’t have a voice track behind him like a lot of rappers, he’s rapping the whole song with the amazing visuals. I love that song.

[ardourjimin]

Massa is one of the deepest/honest songs off the album and I’m glad he performed it at the amas😩

[GyrusBeatz]

“I keep my eyes open when I pray cause I can’t trust God either”

That’s probably one of the hardest lines in rap in the past 3 years

[rf]

Very underrated song, this "deep cut" as I've seen people calling it is what got me into Tyler and this genre music as a whole, quite literally.

[joshuawoods]

this song is not a conventional song that should be performed at an award show, but that’s why Tyler is different.
“I paint pictures of my perspective on these drum breaks, just for you to tell me it’s not good from your lunch break.”
