As the ring leader and outspoken frontman of the west coast group Odd Future, who has literally burst onto the scene out of nowhere, Tyler, the Creator has recently given some fairly straight forward words directed at Mr. West.

Upon yesterday’s release of Forbes top five grossing hip-hop artists, some might be a bit shocked as to see the moderate shift in power. While still largely separated from the remainder of the pack, Diddy has overstepped hip-hop royalty, Hov, in taking the number one spot. Of course, Jigga is not at all far behind, but it may come as a slight surprise that he has been overtaken. Guess it’s time to crank out another number one and hit the road, huh Jay?
