Perhaps you woke up on the morning of Sept. 11 upset to learn that — thanks to Apple — U2's new album Songs of Innocence had wormed its way into your phone overnight.
Maybe you were angry at first. Maybe you're still angry. Maybe you thought it was very kind of Apple and U2 to do such a thing.
Tyler, The Creator pretty much hit the whole spectrum of responses after learning Songs of Innocence was lodged in his cloud. He unleashed a string of NSFW tweets on Friday night that took him from hatred to respect.
Observe the following monologue:
(6:09 p.m.) F--- YOU BONO YOU OLD F--- I DONT WANT YOU ON MY PHONE N---- BITCH STUPID GLASSES F--- BONO
(6:11) F--- BONO
(6:12) GET OFF MY F---ING PHONE. YOU COULDNT COME UP WITH AN ACTUAL MARKETING IDEA? F--- @U2 I DONT WANT YOU. F--- BONO. I DIDNT ASK FOR YOU IM MAD
(6:13) I DID NOT YOU WERE ON MY PHONE. ITS LEGIT LIKE WAKING UP WITH A PIMPLE OR LIKE A HERPE IDK I DID KNOW YOU WERE ON MY PHONE WHAT THE F---
(6:14) WOW ITS KINDA SICK THAT THEY ARE ON PEOPLES PHONES OUT OF NO WHERE......HMMM....IKINDA LIKE THE IDEA KINDA......F--- BONO
(6:14) F--- BONO.
(6:15) OK TO BE HONEST, SAYING F--- BONO IS REALLY FUNNY TO ME HAHAHA
(6:24) BONO IS F---ING AWESOME GOT DAMN
(6:25) BONO IS BEAST GOT DAMN
If you are appalled by this show of indignity, then it's very possible you have never heard of Tyler, and you certainly do not follow him on Twitter, where rants of this nature are commonplace.
Morale of the story: If you want to take over the No. 1 spot on Tyler's s--- list, plant your new album on his phone.
