Of the performers at this year’s awards, Tyler, The Creator definitely went the weirdest and the darkest. The rapper opened his show with a series of hoarse, rhythmic barks before rising on what looked like a gravestone in the middle of burning suburbia. Between dancing like he's trying to stand up in the back of a moving truck and headbanging along with a collection of weird, languid clones of himself, Tyler made it very clear that he's not here to be traditional, or to give awards show fans what they want – which is what makes him so hardcore, even in a pink bellhop outfit.
