Mike Dean called Tyler, the Creator racist
It seems that Mike Dean didn't appreciate the new track by Tyler, The Creator, who recently released Chromakopia, his new album.
A few hours after the album's release, Tyler released a snippet, complete with video, of the track “Thought I Was Dead”.
In the song the artist says “white boys making fun of this s**t and y'all mad at me? You can suck my dick / Pull out old tweets, pull out old t-shirts, all that, I moonwalk on that bitch,” apparently referring to Ian.
Mike Dean commented calling Tyler a racist.
On the one hand, you could say that Tyler, the Creator meant that he can't stand white rappers who have no respect for hip hop culture and appropriate it, but on the other hand, it's pretty well known that he's a bit racist. It's nothing new. He has been producing racist content against white people for more than 10 years. Whether he does it to provoke or not remains to be seen, but it is nothing new.
In 2013, when Tyler, the Creator was part of Odd Future, PepsiCo removed an online ad for Mountain Dew created by the rapper that was heavily criticized for portraying racial stereotypes and making light of violence against women.
In the 60-second spot, a battered white woman on crutches is urged by an officer to identify a suspect from a line of black men that includes Odd Future's Left Brain and L-Boy and Trash Talk's Garrett Stevenson along with a talking goat . The ad offended some who noted that all the suspects were black and all the police were white.
This commercial was considered the most racist in history.
So, what are we surprised about?
