      @Fijxnn 17 днів тому

      ​@@charlie_541 answer is tyler raw emotions of him hating his father wishing him the worst and like him is comming to terms and finally neing yold the truth that his father was never a deadbeat but constantly pushed away by his mother. Even though his mother tried her hardest to keep him away and tylers being blinded by hatred he always was supportive.

      It may be part of his growth I guess... we cannot expect him to still be the same guy we relate to or the one through things we appreciated him. Personally, I'm just glad I'm able to witness and feels all that shit, and at the same time, seeing him being the best version of himself is dope as hell because this is what everyone should be

    "Like Him" on Chromakopia recontextualizes this whole song and a lot of Tyler's sentiments towards his father during the early parts of his career. This is a Darth Vader is Luke's father level plot twist.

      HypodermicSalty I mean underrated to the hip-hop community, not just his fanbase. A lot of rap fans complain about how theres a lack of talent in todays artists but most of them dont even listen to Tyler and the only time they did was during the 2011 era when they first blew up. People still think tylers a "weirdo who only talks about killing people" but if they heard Wolf, they'd be surprised.

In Tyler's latest album, CHROMOKOPIA, in the song "LIKE HIM" it is revealed that Tyler's mother is actually the one who pushed his father away. His father had ALWAYS wanted to be there for him, but his mother was young and dumb and took him away. She apologized for this in the song, "LIKE HIM" near the end. Which is such an insane plot twist for Tyler, hating and dissing his father his whole life to only find out it wasn't his fault

    i think some people are not really understanding how tyler is feeling in this song.
    As much as Tyler hates his father, he still wishes he would contact him, because deep down he’s very frustrated by his absence.
    As he said on Yonkers, he’s a «fucking walking paradox», as much as he hates his father for abandoning him, he still wishes he could have a normal father-son relationship with him instead of simply not having him around, like he’s had for his whole life.
    But that's just what I think lol

    His new song “Like him” from the Chromakopia album basically undoes everything he’s spoken about here and brings some closure. His mum literally fueled this hate he has for his father by lying to him and saying he didn’t wanna be in his life. Meanwhile, his dad had always wanted to raise him and be in his life. He was constantly reaching out yet she shut it down. She refused to allow that because she had her feelings hurt. Why do some women do this - fuel hate in their children for fathers who they intentionally prevented from being in their kids’ lives? It’s like they want the kid to hate the man just as much as she hates her. Tyler obviously would’ve loved to have him around. It still worked out for him anyways so I guess that’s the silver lining. He may not have even chosen music if his dad was around so I guess the Universe had his destiny set. Much love to Tyler.
