Tyler, the Creator is taking his craft seriously and may be a bit of a perfectionist. In an interview, Tyler revealed that he recorded his verse on Clipse’s “P.O.V.” up to 100 times ot make sure it was right.
“It took me about 79 to 100 times to do it, and I almost texted Pusha, ‘I don’t think this is gonna work,’” Tyler recalled. “It’s been a few times I’ve gotten nervous and trying to nail that verse with two of my Mount Rushmores, produced by Mount Rushmore, was like I can’t fuck this up for me.”
He added, “It took me so long to write that and just trying to perfect it … Was really in that bitch sweating. That n-gga Pusha sent me that before I went on tour, probably in April and I ain’t get him that shit until end of May, early June.”
