02:05 of a Tyler experience because that's exactly what it is and we're getting
02:09 your debut album it's coming up so what was the inspiration behind naming it
02:14 Tyler because I think that those are some of the most poignant works of
02:18 someone to give that self-titled you know we got the Beyonce self-title we
02:22 got Mary self-title we got Vince Staples self-titled so what was your decision
02:27 behind marking it as this is Tyler this is me I just really wanted my first

02:40 though I've been working years I haven't just shown up out of nowhere I've been
02:44 working years but I'm still very new to people and I just wanted my music and my
02:49 first album to be an introduction to Tyler and my sound because it is a new
02:54 fresh one and yeah and I think we're ready for it I think we're ready for it
