"Homeboy had a problem with being compared to us," says Inspectah Deck. "[So] we had to approach him in Europe."
After hearing Tyler, the Creator - the frontman of Odd Future - rant about not wanting his group to be compared to the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, Inspectah Deck felt the need to speak to him along with other members of the Wu. He says if his group was compared to one of a higher status than his, he would have been elated, and would not have gone about it the way Tyler did. "If I'm a young dude coming up and we got like an 8-member group [and] we're being compared to one of the greatest of our era, I'm taking that as a compliment," Inspectah states.
In this clip he also speaks on why he's not into the whole "Black hippy" movement and how he feels rappers these days live a life of "absurdity" filled with "showcase broads." Hear more about his talk with Tyler, the Creator and the modern rapper's lifestyle above.
