Tyler, the Creator's new album Chromakopia is here. It arrived today, October 28, instead of on a Friday, which is the day most new albums drop. The LP is 14 songs long and features Teezo Touchdown, Childish Gambino, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Lil Wayne, Daniel Caesar, Doechii, and ScHoolboy Q, who appears on the song "Thought I Was Dead."
Based on a tweet, producer Mike Dean, who's white, has a problem with a line in that song. "White boys mocking this s--t and y’all mad at me? / Y’all can suck my d--k," raps Tyler.
"Racist s--t," wrote Mike about the line. But he later posted a troll face to suggest that he wasn't being serious. Mike then wrote that he'd love to work with Tyler after someone asked him if he produced any tracks on Chromakopia.
There's a good chance the line Mike addressed is aimed at the rapper ian, who Tyler was accused of criticizing in August while speaking to Maverick Carter.
"There’s this kid right now, this white kid, regular Caucasian man, and he’s like mocking Future and Gucci Mane, like rap music, and people are like, 'This s--t hard!'" Tyler said then. "It’s not even like satire, it’s like 'I’m just joking, I’m just mocking it.' But I’m like, 'No, no, no, you can’t do .' And I hold rap music so close to my heart 'cause this s--t changed my life and everyone’s life around me, and I’m a nerd about this s--t."
"This is like weird, and I’m looking at it and something about it don’t even sit well with me," he continued. "In comparison to someone like a Mac Miller or Eminem who didn’t seem like they were mocking it; they had a genuine love for it."
At this time, Tyler hasn't responded to Dean's tweet yet.
