Ether Report

Last week Tyler, The Creator brought out Drake as a surprise guest at Camp Flog Gnaw and was subsequently booed off stage. Tyler seemed upset at his fans for their behavior but who really is at fault? Were Tyler fans being immature or has Tyler's music evolved so much that he has lost touch with his core fan base?
