[quote]The latest Mountain Dew commercial featuring Tyler, the Creator is not sitting well with people. PepsiCo has decided to pull the most recent ad with Felicia the Goat, whose character in the series is voiced by the [B]Odd Future [/B]rapper, after the clip received criticism for portraying racial stereotypes.
A rep for Mountain Dew has released the following statement to E! News regarding the video, "We apologize for this video and take full responsibility. We have removed it from all Mountain Dew channels and Tyler is removing it from his channels as well."[/quote]

i've seen the ad, it isn't really racist? idk
Yeah as far as his usual humor goes these commercials are weird and unfunny, I thought that one he did was racially questionable.
Wasn't a very good commercial anyways.
Well that commercial wasn't necessarily "racist", but it was an AWFUL commercial in its own right.
How are people like this famous lol

He has the right personality behind his work and in person to be famous.
He's a cool guy, just wacky as fuck sometimes.

It's funny. Since as soon as a star makes a soda commercial, their careers start to take a nose dive.

He took an opportunity to live out his dream of directing video, that's not selling out
Anyone else think he was just gonna hand her the Mountain Dew and then after drinking it she picks the goat?
That was an amazingly unfunny commercial. I couldn't even tell it was advertising Mountain Dew.
Compare that to this 28-year old gem:

It's amazing how bad commercials are now. What happened?
who wakes up and thinks "I am gonna have tyler the creator direct my commercial today"
tyler seems like a cool dude
i'd chill with him

To me he seems to be difficult to deal with.
That was literally the worst commercial I've ever seen.
Can't say I know what happened in the commercial; it was a really awful commercial.
I like Tyler when I hear him; I don't go out of the way to get rap music. Old stuff yes, new stuff, sure I'll listen to it when I'm with my sisters or kicking it back.
He's not famous for no reason, he's a funny normal dude that makes some good content.
I honestly felt uncomfortable watching that.
Seriously, what exc approved that?
