Really, what is there to say about a Tyler, the Creator album in 2013? Wolf is out tomorrow, and you’ve probably already made your mind up about it, whether you’ve heard it or not. For his part, Tyler claims he doesn’t care what reviewers have to say, and neither do his oh-so-charming fans.

Jay-Z, Run-DMC, and More: The Made in America Fest in Photos
Jay-Z helped turn Philadelphia into a veritable music lover’s paradise over Labor Day weekend with the debut of his two-day Made in America festival. The fest, which the superstar hopes to make a yearly one, included performances from Janelle Monáe, D’Angelo, Miike Snow, Odd Future, Skrillex, The Hives, Santigold, Dirty Projectors, and Drake, in addition to headline performances by Pearl Jam and Jay-Z himself.

Rah Digga Hits Back at Tyler, the Creator in Epic Diss Track
Tyler, the Creator has always had lady problems — but never like this before. As Clutch reports, Rah Digga has dropped a diss track aimed at the Odd Future rapper, in response to both some nasty tweets he sent her and his homophobic lyric about MC Lyte (“Let’s get it poppin’ like MC Lyte, around some dykes/I’m, out this bitch like hocus pocus/And me and Lucas got a couple of pickles,” from “Rella”). Called “The Nigga in Me,” Rah Digga’s song includes such biting lyrics as, “Fuck is you creatin’, son, a whole generation / Of some, hey Horton, skateboardin’, worshippin’ Satan asses / Bingein’ on drugs, somebody get me the gloves / I don’t think they need deals, man, I think they need hugs / And I was trying to support this young black man / It’s too bad you probably lost your only black fan.” Tyler has already responded in typical fashion, i.e. via Twitter. Listen to Rah Digga’s track after the jump and let us know whose side you’re taking. … Read More
