Lyric discussion by ScreamingLoudInside 

Why isn't he mainstream? Some people say 'who is Tyler The Creator?' And he's been out for a while... You don't hear people saying 'who is Nicki Minaj?' Maybe because his lyrics are way too explicit to be put on the radio. What do you guys think?

because his lyrics are too good, too honest and to spot on to be mainstream.. same for his sound. his work is something that "normal" people aka the masses won't understand. and i'm glad he writes and does what he does. for being not mainstream he has quite a reputation that not many independent artists have unless they're crazily hyped, which he doesn't even need since his work speaks for itself. tyler is raw and dirty...they don't want this on heavy rotation on the radio etc. he is a true punk. i just love him.
