Tyler's Alter Ego "Young Nigga" Had Us Fooled

Categories: Remix

For one thing, all of the frantic anticipation that followed the initial, cryptic announcement makes it clear that the blogosphere laps up every word that comes out of Tyler's mouth. Which is insane when you consider that these guys only really broke out about a year ago.

Second, the stunt shows that Tyler's skills for media manipulation clearly extend far beyond his age and industry experience. Third, "Come Threw Looking Clean" is both funny and has an intriguing flow -- simultaneously witty and slinky -- which speaks to Tyler's versatility.

Finally, it just shows that most people will believe anything they see online. "I successfully trolled the hell out of the Internet today," Tyler tweeted early Saturday morning. Yes you did, Tyler. Yes you did.

Young Nigga is a better rapper than Nas, Tupac, Biggie, and Jesus.
