what is this shit? why am i so intrigued with this new tyler material? i don’t even like “domo 23″! it’s just crazy how…crazy this dude is. we all remember him turning the late night circuit upside down a couple of years ago with his “sandwitches” performance. he had mos def yelling “swag!” and now, he sits behind a piano to premiere a new track from his upcoming album wolf (“treehome”) and then hits “domo 23,” all alongside the roots. by the way, when is this asshole gonna stop yelling and just make rappin’ ass rap tracks? we know he’s capable.
wolf is out april 2.

the original version of ‘mama told me’ was premiered at one of those vitamin water/fader events, initially enlisting little dragon for all the background vox and hook duties. one thing lead to another and kelly rowland ended up on the album due to whatever circumstances. but let’s move past that, as big boi hit the fallon stage with little dragon to perform it how it was intended.
and of course, what better times than to grab the original too, right? vicious lies…is out tuesday and it is fuckin’ excellent.
