Posted by Tyler, The Creator is not only a student of Hip Hop, he’s also one of the few rappers willing to give flowers to his peers in present time.
In a moment of reflection on Friday (December 31), the Grammy Award-winner thanked his fans for a “beautiful year” and listed his favorite songs of 2021, including tracks from Baby Keem, Kanye West, Babyface Ray and more.

Although Tyler spent most of 2021 on a victory lap after the release of his CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST album, he contemplated change in his career. Similar to swapping his old Twitter handle, the Odd Future star debated changing his stage name before standing firm on the moniker.
“I NEVER SAID I WAS CHANGING MY NAME, ARE YOU STUPID? YES,” he wrote on Twitter in a since-deleted tweet. “WILL EMBRACE MY LAST NAME MORE, LESS WOLF HALEY, NEVER SAID I WAS GONNA CHANGE MY STAGE NAME, WHAT YO EARS ON BRO?”
