How does one succeed in music?
Pic related. I still wonder why he remains almost as relevant as when Odd Future blew up when he has never released a fully consistent album, and I refuse to believe he got that big because of a single song (Yonkers). Is it his personality? Is it his attitude towards the music industry? Is it because he's a goofball? How has he made it this far? What do you think /mu/?

cause he doesnt just do music. thats what held kept him relevant

He changed the whole face of hiphop.
Graphic design and fashion
People looked to him when they didn’t know what kids liked for a while
>>73816010
kids really like his personality and he still looks young so it looks ok

no its always being apart of some scene and being in the right place at the right time. tyler is smart because he maximized his spotlight to the core
its pure luck that he somehow meets frank who was a ghost writer for def jam.

find a collective in your area or internet. join it and hope it gains a following then use your resources to sell out and become a big.
behind every artist that somehow "became popular" was usually 90% of the time apart of some unknown collective.
didn't kanye tweet yonkers was the video of the year when it came out? And that was the era Ye dropped MBDTF and WTT, two of the biggest hip hop albums of the decade. That probably set Tyler for life.

Even though Yonkers is far more popular than the rest of his songs, I wouldn't say it's a one-hit-wonder thing like Vanilla Ice. I mean, if he was, his persona would have worn off years ago and would have become irrelevant by now. But he's releasing an album in a couple weeks and he's getting pretty hyped up again.

he easily changed hiphop and added a lane for bedroom producers in rap

You are such a retarded following faggot.

Successful musicians usually do way more than make good songs. They'll do something noteworthy (Ozzy bit the head off of a live bat, Tyler riled up crowds and turned his own shows into riots, etc), get exposure somewhere (Computer Magic getting on a car commercial), or are just talked about ad nauseam (millions of "i wanna smell Lauren Mayberry's feet" threads)
tl;dr: keep attracting attention for anything and everything
sure Yonkers has 90 mil views right now but you really think thats his only hit? lol
