    Tyler, The Creator has drawn criticism and praise over his off the wall art and progressive music, citing inspiration from acts like N.E.R.D and Outkast who have made "weird" cool in hip hop. Today, Tyler discusses how diverse artistry and visually saturated films like Good Burger and The Cat in the Hat have influenced the way he envisions scenes before he composes music, along with inspiring the set design and production for his Golf Wang fashion show debut. (This interview contains explicit content.)
