With Tyler the Creator concert tickets from StubHub, you can see the future of rap live!
With the release of his 2011 album Goblin, Tyler the Creator created a tsunami of waves in the music community. Unafraid to speak his mind, he challenged the hip-hop guard, challenging them to stop being so concerned with style and appearances and make it about the music, about the lyrics and the content, and it's that attitude and passion for his craft that made Tyler the Creator such an instant hit. Fans who longed for a more grounded rapper flocked to Tyler to enjoy unfiltered hip-hop, the kind pioneered by guys like Tupac and Biggie. And while Tyler is still in the process of finding his path as an artist and not quite yet in the same league as the legends who preceded him, he is will on his way to championing a renaissance in rap.
Thanks to his unapologetic style and lyrics and retro, aggressive style of rapping, Tyler the Creator has cultivated a strong following of fans who want to see a resurgence in rap as a distinct genre. Old school and young rap fans alike enjoy Tyler's stripped down songs that get at the heart of the communal experience, not celebrating the partying and the accumulation of wealth but speaking to the frustrations of struggling through life and struggling with what he sees as the sad state of rap. These sentiments have endeared Tyler to many, and his numbers grow stronger every day. A rapper of the people, Tyler the Creator makes the music audiences have been waiting for, and with tickets from StubHub, you can see what everyone's been talking about.
Active in the hip-hop community since 2007 when he helped to form Odd Future, Tyler the Creator's aggressive style of rapping has led to an equally aggressive rise to the top of the charts. Winner of Best New Artist at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, it's clear audiences have declared Tyler their new hip-hop leader and representative, an ambassador of rap to the rest of the music world. Tyler's work has been described as both retro and futuristic but never boring. Some of his style is unmistakably old school LA hip-hop and some of his style is as wild and eccentric as Lady Gaga. Not one for labels, Tyler just wants to make good rap and make rap good again, and that ethic has earned him all sorts of praise, and anyone who's been waiting for the next big thing in hip-hop should see him live!
Not since Eminem has rap undergone such a dramatic shift. Tyler the Creator is single-handedly changing the world of hip-hop and all for the better. He's shown what it means to be a natural musician, to focus on his craft, and while he lets his wild flag fly, he never lets anything but his music shine. His shows are known for their intensity and unpredictability, but one thing is for sure: When you see Tyler the Creator live, you're witnessing a genius at work. Score hip-hop tickets from StubHub for a breath a fresh rap!
