I never bought in to the One Direction wave, but I’m familiar with who Zayn Malik is. Mainly because I happen to share a name with that fool–but most recently because his first solo single, for some odd reason, has been on rotation in various playlist. I guess some kids love trash.

Today, Tyler the Creator posted a Youtube video where he played his remix to the song he did back in March. It turned that pile of shit all the way around– this was actually quite legit. When asked why him and Malik haven’t collaborated, Tyler responded:

I guess Zayn Malik doesn’t seem to be taking Tyler the Creator seriously, so Tyler remixed his song “Pillow Talk” to give him a demo of what he’s missing out on. The fact that Tyler got me to nod my head to that dry ass hook is a feat only achieved by a true master. This is also a smart move on Tyler’s part– not only does it make Zayn look like a corn flake, but it showcases how versatile Tyler’s production can be in a video that will potentially make waves– all while promoting GOLF. I’m sure some other singers are gonna get at him mad fast now. Good shit!
