Tyler The Creator Wins VMA For Best New Artist

Odd Future’s chief smack-talker Tyler the Creator scored yet another major coup on Sunday, winning MTV’s coveted VMA for Best New Artist for his video, “Yonkers.” The 20-year-old rapper achieved pretty much insta-fame this year, beating out competitors Foster the People (”Pumped Up Kicks”), Big Sean (”My Last”), Kreayshawn (”Gucci Gucci”) and Wiz Khalifa (”Black and Yellow”). And in typical OFWGKTA-fashion, he went on record saying that his fellow nominees “suck.”

His obscenity-ladden acceptance speech isn’t currently available on the internet, thanks to MTV parent company Viacom, but you can see him diss Bruno Mars in an acceptance press Q&A backstage. And someone made a clip highlighting Tyler’s mom going absolute banana nuts ape-shit when her son’s name was announced. Maybe a little insight at why her offspring is so unrestrained.
