I’m at that weird age where every younger person I meet makes me realize how much l've aged, and every older person I meet makes me realize I'm still a baby.
Tyler, The Creator recalls the time he and Odd Future turned down a record deal from JAY-Z to maintain creative control:
“He invited us to one of his LA homes and we just ate tacos. He wanted to sign us. I was like, 'Man, you're cool, but no.' [...] I was like, 'I just want creative control and to do everything. I don't want the shiny plane, right now I just want to sit on Photoshop, make weird beats, and I'll get there.'”
