A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE, LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
I PRODUCED AND WROTE MOSTLY 90% OF IT.
IT'S THE MELODY I DIDN'T COME UP WITH.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE 26 NOW?
YES.
>> Stephen: SOME CRITICS SAID THIS IS THE MATURING OF TYLER
THE CREATOR.
ARE YOU GROWING UP NOW?
>> PROBABLY, BUT MORE SO I JUST WANTED TO PRODUCE AND HAVE
PEOPLE TO SING AND THAT'S ALL I WANT TO LISTEN TO.
I KIND OF DIDN'T WANT TO RAP A LOT ON IT, SO I KEPT MY RAP
VERSES SHORT AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING I SAID WAS
RIDICULOUSLY IMPORTANT AND I THINK THAT'S WHY PEOPLE LIKE
ABOUT IT THIS TIME AROUND BECAUSE NOTHING FUNNY ON IT.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE SONG YOU'RE DOING TONIGHT FROM THE
ALBUM?

BECAUSE I KNOW.
>> OH, "911".
