Tyler, The Creator Releases New Single "Ain't Got Time!"
The song serves as the latest release from Tyler, the Creator's forthcoming album.
Beginning with a sample from the album The Art Of Belly Dancing (if the horns sound familiar that's because Dee-Lite sampled them in their hit song "Groove Is in the Heart") "Ain't Got Time!" booms with pulsing bass as Tyler boastfully raps about his successes. The track also includes this following line that gained a lot of attention last week: "Next line will have 'em like, 'Whoa' / I've been kissing white boys since 2004."

The track premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show on Wednesday, where Tyler explained that the song was originally meant for Kanye West.
"I remember being at Ye's during The Life of Pablo, and I think he went to take a nap," Tyler said. "I was in the studio and there was this MPC there. I started smacking, started clapping, making weird noises, added a boom boom boom, and I was gonna add a hook. It was just that. 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."

Tyler also said that he wanted Nicki Minaj to provide a verse on the track. "I wanted Nicki Minaj on that shit so fuckin' bad. I reached out to her so many times," he said. "She said she couldn't think of nothing. Like, how you hear that beat and can't think of nothing."
