Tyler, The Creator Trashes YouTube Music Awards on Twitter

By Alex Galbraith, Mstars Reporter | Oct 23, 2013 01:04 PM EDT

As I mentioned yesterday, the YouTube Music Awards had a chance to be something truly unique, nominating viral/innovative artists that wouldn't see recognition from stody institutions like the Grammys. They could've carved out their own niche by giving awards to artists who have truly made use of the video-hosting site's potential and being the first true Internet awards show. Instead, they gave noms to pop megastars and industry titans. This has YMA performer Tyler, the Creator rather riled up.

 

 

 

 

The rant, in full:

YOUTUBE AWARDS COULDVE FUCKING HAD NOMINATIONS ON COOL CREATIVE VIDEOS SHIT BUT NOOOO AGAIN ITS THE MOST TEENY BOPPER POP SHIT. YOU ARE BUTT. WHY NOT GIVE AWARDS TO JUST DIRECTORS, THESE FUCKING WEAK ASS ARTIST DONT COME UP WITH THESE SHOTS OR SIT IN COLORING FUCK THEM THEY SUCK. AT LEAST TORO GOT A NOM THATS SICK. EARL AND I HAVE TO PERFORM THERE NEXT WEEK HAHAHAHAHA." 

Flying Lotus was equally peeved:

 

What do you think? Should YouTube have tried harder to do something different with their show?
