“I was in Perth for like five days..I love it there. Don’t know how ya’ll feel about it [sic]. Don’t give a f*ck. That place is awesome. Perth is ill because… Sydney like feels like a city. But Perth is like, its city, but its super chilled”.
However, Tyler, The Creator added that his favourite place in Sydney is Luna Park.
“Luna Park, bro we went yesterday. Y’all have a treasure there. That is a f*cking treasure that place. The slides – are you crazy? We had a moment upstairs, it was cool.”

For the best part of an hour, Tyler, the Creator answered questions from the young creators and explained to one of them how he handles rejection. He told the woman that he is careful to not ask for advice from people who aren’t familiar in his area of expertise.
“[For example] I don’t wear sweats. So if my friend is like, ‘y’all I made these sweats, you want to wear them?’ And I’m like, ‘bro, I don’t wear sweats, so I can’t even say that these are good or bad’… Be super aware that stuff like.
