TYLER, THE CREATOR IN CONCERT:
Hip hop innovator and Odd Future figurehead Tyler, the Creator had another huge year in 2013, releasing his sophomore album Wolf to a No. 1 spot on the Rap Albums chart and headlining the second annual Odd Future Carnival alongside Frank Ocean. According to Tyler, though, the standout moment of the year was sharing the stage with Kanye West for a rendition of "Late," a track Kanye rarely performs live. With luminaries from West to Erykah Badu hailing his inventive, offbeat style as a game changer, Tyler, the Creator is poised to deliver another series of mind-expanding performances on tour in 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Tyler, the Creator grew up immersed in a creative street culture that sparked his early interest in fashion, music production, and rapping. In 2006 he founded the hip hop collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, joining Earl Sweatshirt, Left Brain, and a host of other talented up-and-comers in the creation of a unique leftfield approach to the genre that earned the crew a huge following. After several underground releases, Tyler made his mixtape debut with 2009's Bastard, a self-produced tour de force that landed on Pitchfork Media's Top 50 Albums of 2010. His studio debut, 2011's Goblin, would prove an even bigger success, topping the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and earning him mainstream recognition virtually overnight. With the 2013 release of Wolf, Tyler firmly cemented his role as the dominant voice of a new generation of hip hop artists.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Tyler was awesome, you could tell he was really having a good time and that he loves what he does. "Yonkers" and "Sandwiches" were amazingly well performed."
"Tyler always puts on an epic show! I can't wait to see him again!"
"His energy level is absolutely unbelievable, and he interacts so well with the crowd. Such an amazing performance..."

by Tats8 on 7/28/12Best Buy Theater - New YorkI can't even describe how amazing the night was. Such a great vibe and energy in the audience. Despite the absolute downpour while waiting in line, everyone was ready for the show. The opening acts were pretty good (overall). The first opening artist was a female rapper who had a little trouble engaging the audience, because none of her songs were familiar: she hadn't sampled music we knew either. It was a little awkward, but as the second rapper went on (who no one knew that well either), people got more in the mood and ready for the main artists. Asher Roth went on and absolutely exceeded and blew away my expectations. I hadn't realized what a great performer he was going to be, expecting 'I Love College' to be his opening song and for it to go downhill from there, and I was completely wrong. He opened with many of his lesser known (but much better) songs, and even invited four people on stage. Each took a stage dive (including Roth) and the crowd went wild. Raekwon came on next, and got everyone pumped up and chanting 'WuTangClan! WuTangClan!". The host was about to introduce the main performers, Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt (of Odd Future), when he began saying, "I know you guys expected to see Tyler and Earl tonight....But we've got a little surprise." Suddenly, ALL of Odd Future was there (all the way from LA), and the crowd went wild. Two fights broke out in the mosh pits but were quickly stopped and everyone went back to enjoying the music. One highlight was when OF played 'Rella', which got everyone singing along and putting their hands in the air. Another favourite moment was Tyler's 'Yonkers' (which the other members rapped along with him), and Odd Future's 'Orange Juice', which got everyone dancing and going wild. The night ended a bit abruptly, but in classic OFWGKTA fashion, with Tyler basically saying "that's it." One of the best concerts I've EVER been to. Definitely recommend. Odd Future were AMAZING performers, and I hope to attend another one of their concerts soon

by Fenske on 7/28/12Best Buy Theater - New YorkFavorite concert of all time. All of the acts were at their best. Smoke DZA killed it. Raekwon played all the classics. And EarlWolf... Honored to have been there for their first headlining concert together. I could tell the exact moment earl got into it. They started playing earl and Tyler made him hold the mic to the crowd and the crowd knew every word. And that just set him off. Amazing
