artist recognition

so i've just finished up watching some interviews with tyler, the creator aka wolf haley.  this kid is 19 and has a humongous ego that either turns people away from him or attracts people to him.  he is very different in that he doesn't rap about the same stuff that every other rapper does.  he isn't afraid to rebel and he said that he's rebelled ever since he started kindergarten.  i'm still not quite sure how i feel about him.  i love that he's so different than other rappers out there, but the thing that turns me off to his music is his flow.  that's something that could grow on me though so i'm giving him a chance.  his lyrics can be very controversial for example his song vcr talks about rape (this song got a lot of backlash). the video for this song is unbelievable though.  he produces all of his on music videos.  he just released a new album called goblin that's available on itunes.  below i have the video for vcr as well as his well known song yonkers.
