Tyler, the Creator‘s “I Ain’t Got Time” off his 2017 album Flower Boy was originally for Kanye West and later Nicki Minaj.
During an interview with Zane Lowe, Tyler, the Creator revealed the beat and hook for “I Ain’t Got Time” was made in Kanye West’s studio during the recording sessions for The Life of Pablo when Kanye was taking a nap.
“That was two different beats, I heard the Deee-Lite song on the radio with Q-Tip years ago… I suck at sampling so I just looped it and was like ‘This is cool.’ Added some drums to it and it was a beat. I remember being a ‘Ye’s during The Life of Pablo and I think he went to take a nap and I was just in the studio and there was an MPC there… I was like ‘Just start recording me.’ I just started smacking, started clapping, started making weird noises, and added a boom boom boom boom. I was like I’m gonna add a hook… and it was just that. I was like ‘Damn, Kanye should take this song. He would sound so much cooler saying that hook.’ He didn’t like it… One day I was like I’m gonna mix these two together.” Tyler told Zane.
Tyler, the Creator explained he sent it to Nicki Minaj for her to feature on the song but she told him that she couldn’t think of anything; “I reached out to her so many times. Tried to get her number. She couldn’t think of nothing. She couldn’t think of it. That’s what they were relaying. I’m like, ‘How the fuck you hear this beat and can’t think of shit?’ Like, stop that shit. Stop playing. I’m like, ‘Nicki playing me right now.’” Tyler, the Creator continued to tell Zane Lowe.

Tyler revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live on (June 11, 2015) that he had two other jobs before fame, His first job was at FedEx and lasted less than two weeks. “FedEx was so depressing….. There were just older dudes, like, just pushing boxes but OK with it and it scared the living hell out of me. So I quit after a week and four days.” Then Tyler worked at Starbucks for two years and a half years. “Starbucks was cool because I stole cheese danishes every day.”
A new manager named Cindy took over the Starbucks branch in which he was working and fired him. “This lady named Cindy, she was a new manager, she hated on me and she fired me and I hope she’s watching ’cause I still hate her,” Tyler said. “I hate you so much! I hate you, Cindy!…… Her firing me was the greatest moment of my life.”
Tyler recalled that a shift manager warned him 10 minutes before the firing, giving Tyler just enough time to call his mom, who wanted to sue Starbucks before she figured out they did nothing wrong. “I manned up and said, ‘All right, I’ll get fired,’” he said. “And I ate like three cheese Danishes.”
When Jimmy asked if he was a good employee, Tyler said: “I mean, I w-…look, hey, I was nice, I was cool with people, man, I liked talking to people, I didn’t kiss ass to the people who worked there and the manager and I think she found that intimidating,” Tyler, the Creator said. Also, I was the youngest there, so I had that attitude, like, ‘Worse comes to worse, I can find another job’ and I think she didn’t like that.”
