SWAMP IZZO!

nigga definitely was an edgelord with severe identity issues but people got to stop being so offended by what 20 year olds were tweeting in 2011 wtf lolol

Not to defend Tyler but it is pretty funny he followed in Eminem’s footsteps and is getting fried rn and Eminem is just picking out his outfit for the Lions game tomorrow.

Can someone explain the whole "Cali Black" thing to me please? What is the context behind that?

wrong thread lmfao

(not saying it’s true) but they’re referring to california / LA niggas being weird and coon-y i guess

Tyler's mom's name is Smith
His dad's name is Okonma
He was of the belief his father abandoned him until late in his 20s
The name hate was more father hate than black hate imo

& even then when he started using it, it seemed like a Shoto Todoroki 'even though that bad man made you, it's still your power, you can use it ' thing where he reclaimed the name from his supposed father who abandoned him despite the supposed evil origin of it being the name given by the person who he hated/ruined his life to some extent

do you know the exact timeline when virgil told him? Because I know he started using his last name more during Igor era

R Kelly was still considered safe until 2017
So you can't blame him for the photo
Lady Gaga had him on her album, Pitchfork gave him an 8.2 in 2011 etc etc

White clubs still played ignition until 2017

Edit: I'm not excusing R Kelly's actions, I'm just saying OK I watched Boondocks back in the day, Chris Rock talked about the R Kelly situation in his 04 special, Chappelle had 3 sketches about it, everyone knew, but it didn't take any effect until it resurfaced in the late 10s

Yall need to stop posting these dumb ass tweets s*** is aggravating

Let these cacs fester in their own s***ty ass corner

Niggas dont even claim tyler

It seems more like people taking a chance to hate on her since she's become very accepted in white spaces, folks just love to hate on people & they're using this an opportunity to do that

you’re right, I’d just rather blame the yt fans than tyler

“bsky.social” :chanlaff:

Chill out lol

And that's like a known specific thing amongst black people from Cali?

he spoke on the Virgil influence on him using the name more during Call Me era

I wonder what Twitter niggas gone be fake mad about next week

Now to be fair. Damn near the whole music industry was still treating that man like he was cool until that documentary came out.

All of them fake af on this topic.
Remember Lady Gaga had a song and music vid with him, and removed him from the song after that doc dropped. Talking bout “I’m disgusted”. Lol

Balance is restored
