Tyler The Creator Meets Hans Zimmer In New 'Cherry Bomb' Doc Clip
Tyler, the Creator has unveiled another trailer from his forthcoming Cherry Bomb: The Documentary.
This one finds the artist talking about the inspiration behind the track "2Seater," as well as offering a glimpse into recording various parts for the song.
The five minute clip begins with Tyler enlisting a saxophonist to create parts for the song, and instructing him on how he wants the parts to sound. The video then transitions to Tyler going to Hans Zimmer's studio to record the string parts for the track. As he ventures around the studio he runs into Zimmer himself, who shows Tyler a couple of other rooms throughout the building, as well as gives him a nod of approval for his string arrangements on "2Seater."
Prior to this trailer Tyler had dropped one that focused on the making of Cherry Bomb standout "Smuckers," which featured guest verses from Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
Directed, shot, produced and edited by Mikey Alfred and Illegal Civ Cinema, Cherry Bomb: The Documentary drops on January 30, and will be available on DVD in limited quantities through the Illegal Civilization website. The release is limited to 500 copies with each one signed by Tyler, so you might want to bookmark the Illegal Civilization website now for when the DVD comes out.
To coincide with the release of the documentary, Tyler and Mikey will be hosting a Q&A in Los Angeles a day before the film's official release. Details for the event can be seen on the flyer below.
About three weeks ago some old tracks from Tyler's Myspace page were unearthed thanks to the work of a Reddit user that created a post that brought the songs back to life. Under the name I Smell Panties, Tyler created songs such as "Bapes Freestyle"; "Bapes"; "Lilo Fucks Stitch"; and "Lisa."
