Tyler, The Creator & Doechii Debut “Get Right” at Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Show
Paris, France – Tyler, The Creator and Doechii unveiled their latest collaboration “Get Right” during Louis Vuitton’s star-studded runway show at Paris Fashion Week — a bold, bass-heavy track produced by Pharrell Williams, who also serves as the brand’s Men’s Creative Director.
The electrifying record, their second joint effort following last year’s “Balloon,” blends Pharrell’s signature drum patterns with industrial flair, drawing comparisons to Kanye West’s Yeezus era. The track served as the pulsating soundtrack to a showcase that brought together fashion icons and hip hop royalty including JAY-Z, Beyoncé, Pusha T, and Future.
Tyler, a longtime admirer of Doechii, previously described his reaction to discovering her music as love at first listen:
“I was like, ‘What is this? Damn, this girl pretty as hell,’” he told fans. “Then I clicked and was blown away.”
Their creative chemistry has only intensified since, with Tyler bringing Doechii on stage during his Chromakopia tour and calling her “incredible” and “an artist who really cares.”
Doechii has returned the admiration, recently naming Tyler among her favorite artists alongside MF DOOM, Westside Gunn, and JAY-Z.
With “Get Right,” the two genre-pushing artists have once again proven they’re a visionary match — on both the runway and the mic. -
Tyler, The Creator Slams Podcast Culture and Calls for Its Ban
The rapper criticizes the rise of “loud and incorrect” voices, calling the medium “gross”
Tyler, The Creator is once again making waves with his outspoken views—this time targeting podcast culture. In a recent interview with The Cut, the Grammy-winning artist doubled down on his longstanding disdain for the popular audio format, saying, “I think we give a lot of people who aren’t smart and just want attention platforms to be loud and incorrect, and other stupid people follow them.”
The Odd Future founder criticized the growing number of people using podcasts to gain influence without offering value. “Everybody with a mic is crazy. I just think that shit is gross,” he added, calling instead for society to uplift skilled professionals like electricians, painters, and teachers.
While Tyler did acknowledge enjoying a select few podcasts—specifically naming Deante Kyle and The Cutting Room Floor—he made it clear that most do not meet his standards.
His disdain isn’t new. Last year, he joked that if he were president, his first move would be to “take podcast mics away from n-ggas.”
Tyler also took issue with white rappers parodying hip-hop, referencing an unnamed artist believed to be Ian. “This is like weird… it don’t even sit well with me,” he said. -

Ice Cube Praises Tyler, The Creator as a Trailblazer in Hip-Hop
Cube praised Tyler for representing LA in music and culture
Ice Cube poured words of commendation on Tyler, The Creator while recently speaking to HipHopDX, praising the Odd Future creator for waving high the LA flag in music and culture.
“To me, that is L.A.,” Cube referred to Tyler’s victory. “That’s the L.A. people don’t know about, which are ultra creative individuals who won’t conform to the culture of gangbanging. They’re going to be themselves.”
He attributed that originality to Tyler with that of barbarians coming from the West Coast, like the Pharcyde and the Black Eyed Peas whom Cube mentioned are unlike others who would never comply with the “norms” of the industry.
“You’re going to always have those groups that are going to stay down with their own style and their own flavor, and going to win with it,” Cube explained. “Because they’re not conforming; they’re not being what you want them to be because they’re being who they are, and you gotta salute that.”
The rap icon declared such statements because, for him, that is the art of Tyler and how Tyler could etch his lane in what seems to be an overbearing industry. It’s the face in which Cube envisions Tyler — a muscle in the many energies that coalesce to become the often-overlooked side that is life in creative L.A. -

And I don’t even get FOMO at all-I’ll just go to sleep. But I’m cool with Kenny, Dave [Free], and Tim [Hinshaw] from Free Lunch. So I went home, showered, and ran straight there.”
Although it wasn’t a complete set, Tyler thrilled the crowd with two songs, including the 2019 hit “Earfquake.”
The bucketload of surprises this year came for Odd Future star when his newest release, Chromakopia, dropped. This project, which is deeply personal and comes highly star-studded, includes some of the best and brightest in the industry. Dominating all charts, it spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 and over 500,000 of its copies were sold just a month after its release.

He also continued his almost unbreakable streak with the collaborative single “Sticky,” which features talented Rhythm and Blues artists GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Lil Wayne; climbing up to number 10 last month. -
