Tyler, the Creator made a special appearance during the Adobe MAX 2020 Creativity Conference, interviewing himself and revealing his favorite musical albums and films, which time of the day he prefers and who he would want to work with.

The video clocks in at almost five minutes and sees the IGOR artist sitting down with another interviewer and himself in different costumes. Dawning a coat and a New York Yankees cap, interviewer Tyler asks himself what his top five albums are, to which interviewee Tyler answers In Search of… by N.E.R.D., Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem, In My Mind by Pharrell and Mama’s Gun by Erykah Badu — the fifth choice is apparently too difficult for him to answer. For his top favorite films, Tyler named Napoleon Dynamite, Scary Movie 2, 20th Century Women and The Cat in the Hat.

Tyler is asked a number of other interesting questions throughout the video; he mentions that he prefers the day to the night (“I f*cking love sunlight”), that schools should teach students how to do taxes, offer more music and cooking classes and that he would love to work with Jay Kay, Michael Jackson during the Off the Wall era and Amy Winehouse.
