Tyler the Creator- Noid
This song is from Tyler the Creator’s recently released album CHROMAKOPIA. The song samples Nizakupanga Ngozi by the Zambian band Ngozi Family, led by Paul Ngozi.
This weekend in Los Angeles is the annual two day music festival he created, CAMP FLOG GNAW, celebrating its 10th anniversary at Dodger Stadium. He will be performing along with a long list of performers that includes André 3000, Vince Staples, Hana Vu, Blood Orange, Denzel Curry, Erykah Badu, Kenny Mason, Jean Dawson, and Yves Tumor.
At last year’s festival he was interviewed by the famous Canadian journalist Nardwuar for the sixth time in twelve years. If you are unfamiliar with Nardwuar’s interviews, he finds items from an artist’s past that influenced their work, and often surprises them with the personal information he has discovered.
In the video below, Tyler discusses the festival’s beginnings as well as the design elements, lineup and merchandise. While looking at some of the albums Nardwuar brought, he mentions specific songs he loves and later comments on his desire to hear more musicians talk about their music. In the beginning of the video he also brings out Toro Y Moi, who played at the festival that year.
Nardwuar will be sharing videos and discussing his legendary career at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles this week on Friday 11/15/24. There will be a live Q & A after the show.
