If you were to ask any 20-something hip-hop head what image is most indelibly burned into their psyche when thinking about their formative experiences with the genre, a substantial portion would recall a black and white still of a 20-year old Tyler, The Creator, Supreme capped and buttoned up, vomiting fresh cockroach meat. It was as shocking and repulsive as it was immediately iconic, and in retrospect serves as a bit of a watershed moment for rap in internet era. Tyler's come a long way.
