Tyler, The Creator Hates Your New Podcast: ‘We Need Electricians’

In an era where everyone and their grandmother seems to have a podcast, Tyler, The Creator stands out as the voice of reason — or rather, the voice of “I’d rather not listen to your new podcast, bro.” Yes, the enigmatic rapper and producer recently made it clear that he’s not exactly a fan of the podcasting trend during a candid chat with The Cut.

In a world where everyone with a microphone can spout off their opinions, Tyler lamented the lack of appreciation for real skills. “Where are the electricians, the drummers, the painters, the teachers?” he questioned. “Everybody with a mic is crazy. I just think that sh– is gross.”

But don’t get it twisted; Tyler isn’t completely closed off to the podcast world. He did give a nod to a couple of shows that have managed to pique his interest, namely Deante Kyle’s “Grits & Eggs Podcast” and “The Cutting Room Floor.” In Tyler’s eyes, these podcasts are moving in the right direction.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard Tyler take a stand against the podcasting craze. Back in a Billboard cover interview last year, he made it clear that podcasts would be the first thing on the chopping block if he were ever elected president. “If I was president,” he remarked, “The first thing I would do is take podcast mics away from n—as.”

And while he may be anti-podcast, Tyler is all about embracing gatekeeping when it comes to certain aspects of life. He’s a firm believer in the idea that not everything is for everyone and that it’s okay to not be into something. Whether it’s music, restaurants, or fashion, Tyler sees the value in preserving the sanctity of certain spaces. While he finds gatekeeping in music a bit odd, he’s all for protecting the integrity of beloved restaurants and fashion brands from being overrun by social media hype.

In his own unique way, Tyler champions the idea of holding onto what you love and not diluting it for the masses. He’s not interested in sharing every little detail of his life or giving in to the endless demands for validation. “Let me have my thing,” he asserts. “You might not look that fire in it.”

Tyler, The Creator may not be a podcast enthusiast, but his refreshing take on authenticity and preserving the things that truly matter in a world of endless noise is a reminder to us all to stay true to ourselves and guard what we hold dear. His words serve as a provocative call to action in an age where everyone is vying for a piece of the spotlight. Whether you agree with his views or not, there’s no denying that Tyler’s unapologetic stance on the matter is a breath of fresh air in a digital landscape oversaturated with hot takes and empty distractions.

So, the next time you press play on that latest podcast episode, take a moment to ponder Tyler, The Creator’s words and consider what really matters in a world where everyone has something to say.
