0:00
just pressing play and then driving
0:02
around like hearing a voice on a cliff
0:06
bro that's I don't think folks know the
0:09
weight that that [ __ ] really got like
0:13
bro I got bro I got I got I got w
0:19
so thank you to Pushup Malice P y'all
0:24
for Yo what if I told you that Tyler the
0:28
creator's new Mount Rush more level
0:30
collaboration had him sweating so hard
0:32
he almost chucked the verse into the
0:34
abyss. Buckle up. This one's juicy.
0:38
All right, let's jump right into the
0:41
All right, fam. Here is where the
0:44
fireworks really go off. Picture this.
0:47
Tyler, the creator, a dude who's made
0:50
viral album launches, jaw-dropping
0:52
fashion collabs, and even his own damn
0:55
festival, says that lying down his verse
0:58
for clips. Yes, the legendary duo behind
1:02
Grinding ranks among the best moments of
1:04
his life. Let that sink in for a second.
1:07
He's not talking about topping charts,
1:09
not about winning Grammy gold, not even
1:12
about flexing in front of an arena full
1:14
of screaming fans. He's talking about
1:16
purity. The raw spine tingling moment
1:20
when his voice, his lines dipped into
1:23
the same sonic universe as Pusha T and
1:25
No Malice. Cue that soul hit of
1:28
recognition. He dropped barbs that
1:31
resonated with two generations of rap
1:33
heads. Bridge the gap between the odd
1:36
future and Virginia's clips back
1:38
catalog. That he says is up there in his
1:41
top eight moments. Eight. could have
1:44
gone for a top 10, sure, but he picked
1:46
eight. Why eight? Because Tyler never
1:49
does things basic. It's like saying,
1:52
"Yo, that moment was as golden as when
1:55
you nailing the perfect burger flip on a
1:57
Sunday afternoon, except replace the
1:59
burger with lyrical gold." A moment so
2:03
golden it made him sweat. Bullets to get
2:06
it perfect. Which brings us to All
2:08
right, brace yourselves because it takes
2:10
us backstage into that pressure cooker
2:12
where Tyler almost tapped out. This
2:15
wasn't a casual burst drop. He didn't
2:17
stroll in and hum a few lines. Nah, he
2:20
was sweating bullets trying to land that
2:22
damn take. Imagine that moment. Studio
2:25
lights glaring, headphones clamped on,
2:27
beat booming, and Tyler's biting his
2:30
lip. Staring at the mic like it's his
2:33
high school chemistry final. He's
2:35
thinking, "Don't [ __ ] this up." Zerroth
2:37
try. Tossed first. Nah, third. Still
2:41
sketchy. Floats like a ghost. Hits like
2:43
a pillow. Every take a fresh battle.
2:46
Judgment creeps in. Bro, I sound like
2:48
I'm auditioning for the breakfast.
2:50
Serial jingle, not a clips collab. The
2:54
stakes as high as rappers get. And keep
2:57
in mind, this squirmy pressure cooker is
2:59
the zone where he chose to retreat.
3:01
pulled the old maybe I should just skip
3:03
this card. That's not just uncertainty.
3:07
That's raw human inhale exhale realness.
3:11
Why is this juicy? Because when you
3:13
think of Tyler, you think confidence,
3:16
creative mastermind mode, festival
3:18
stomping energy. Never the guy who
3:21
ghosts on his verse mid studio. But here
3:24
he isn't flexing. He's vulnerable. He's
3:27
clamoring on the wall. Don't let me
3:30
fumble this one. That's the heat that
3:33
makes a verse legendary.
3:35
And just when you thought the suspense
3:37
was at capacity, wait till you hear how
3:41
long it took for him to finally drop
3:42
that verse. He almost gave up for real.
3:46
He told Pusha T to scrap it that he
3:48
couldn't get the verse. But after
3:50
struggling through multiple takes, he
3:52
finally sent it a good 2 months later.
3:55
April to early June, folks.
3:58
And now the plot thickens because how
4:01
does a collab this epic even come
4:05
Push revealed that Tyler was basically
4:07
stalking the album creation process on
4:10
the road asking to hear tracks. Did
4:13
y'all finish this? He begged to jump on
4:16
one, especially POV. That's persistence,
4:19
people. All right, fam. That's the
4:21
behindthe-scenes tea on Tyler's clips
4:23
flex. What moment in hip-hop history
4:26
