Yahoo! Style chose Tyga for his latest shoot.
Tyga wears sweatshirt AMI and cap 12 Jewels.
The rapper hits the studio, posing in fashion, talking about his music and giving a lesson of style.
He is not reserved when he describes his music:
“Even though so many people are doing music, I still feel like what I do is not comparable. It can’t be duplicated. When you start looking at all the other people, that’s you losing your faith in what you’re supposed to do.”
As it happens with music, he knows that young people look at him to get inspiration for their outfits. This is why he says that style is all about the fit. If it not fits right, it is not for you. Do you agree?
But Tyga is not just that fancy rapper who wears fashionable clothes and hits music records, he is neither Kylie Jenner’s ex boyfriend, and definitely he does not deserved to be remembered just for who he is dating. He is a workaholic and, as he raps on his 40 Mill, he doesn’t want to be famous / he just wants to be rich, however “Fame is the devil”.
“It’s a gift and a curse,” Tyga says about life in the limelight. “You can never really get used to people chasing you all day, but whether you’re an actor, a rapper, or an athlete, that’s the life you chose, you sacrifice your freedom.”
For Tyga, it was a sacrifice he knew he wanted to make as early as 12, when he began honing his skills in the bedrock of hip-hop that is Compton. “I recorded all my songs in my room, made beats on my own laptop, and I just did freestyles and never really played it for anybody but me and my friends.”
It was everything he wanted to do after school: not do homework, not play basketball, just record his own music. He recalls handing out mixtapes in shopping malls and high school dances to whoever would liste. And it is thanks to this maniacal work and his desire to make music that now he can say that he is sitting with the gods.
Tyga wears parka Yves Salomon for Opening Ceremony and t-shirt Polo Ralph Lauren.
