Posted by Tyler, the Creator counts himself among the millions who call themselves big-time fans of JAY-Z.
As fans across the globe celebrate the Brooklyn mogul’s 52nd birthday, an open call was made on Twitter by Spotify Urban Music Head Carl Chery about naming their favorite Hov songs. Naturally, Tyler stepped up to the plate and rattled off his favorite five without hesitation and one extra for good measure.
“‘Fuck All Nite,’ ‘Excuse Me Miss,’” Tyler began. “His Funk Flex ‘Grammy Family Freestyle’ if that counts, ‘Allure,’ oh his verse on ‘You gotta lot of shit that’s cool to me… ‘‘Do It Again’‘ off Vol. 3! That verse crazy, insane. Oh and ‘Show You How,’ that last verse showed a lot of perspective to me as a kid, so that’s six so I’m done.”
When asked if he would remove the “Grammy Family” freestyle, Tyler immediately swore off doing such a thing.
“No! No!” he exclaimed. “C’mon no, that shit has … no, that shit is crazy!”
Here’s Tyler, The Creator’s Top 6 Jay-Z songs in no particular order.
