Tyler, The Creator wanted Nicki Minaj on new track "I Ain't Got Time!"
Tyler, The Creator has unveiled "I Ain't Got Time!", another cut from his impending record Scum Fuck Flower Boy.
"I remember being at Ye's during Life of Pablo, and I think he went to take a nap," Tyler told Zane Lowe as the song debuted on Beats 1. "I was just in the studio and [there] was an MPC there, there was a mic right there, and I was like, Noah - it's his engineer - 'just start recording me.' I just started smacking, I started clapping, started making weird noises, and added a 'boom boom boom' like that, and then I'm like, I'mma just add a hook, 'I ain't got time for these.' I was like 'damn, Kanye should take this song, he would sound so much cooler saying 'I ain't got time' than me'... he didn't like it."
"I wanted Nicki Minaj on that shit so fuckin' bad like you have no idea," Tyler adds. "I reached out to her so many times, tried to get her number, she couldn't think of nothing. She couldn't think of nothing. That's what they relayed [to me]. I'm like, 'How the fuck you hear this beat and can't think of shit?' I'm like, 'Nicki playin me right now.'"
"I Ain't Got Time!" joins up with "Boredom", "Who Dat Boy", and "911 / Mr. Lonely" to preview Tyler's new LP - his first since 2015's Cherry Bomb.
