Logging Off  - Social media has taken over millions of people's lives but Tyler thinks its corrupting the youth. "They’re stupid. The only thing on my phone is Instagram and I use that to post silly/funny photos or photos that I sit and color just to look at pretty photos but I hate all of that s--t, to be honest. I tweet early in the morning when I wake up or late at night just to let you know that I have a show or what’s on my mind and that’s it. I hate Snapchat and all of that. It's making kids so stupid," he said. (Photo: Rahav Segev/Getty Images)Maverick - No MC's career lasts forever, but Tyler may walk away from the game before he reaches his peak. “I really want to sing but my tone of voice is really too deep to do what I want. So now I’m just listening to Isaac Hayes and Barry White and people like that to see how they used their voice but I hate rapping only because it puts you in this box. I’m talented enough to do other things but I’m pretty bored with it and it’s not interesting.” (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images for Spike)
