The power of caps lock is harnessed once again by Tyler, the Creator in order to express his intense level of gratitude for the creative genius that is Pharrell Williams. Indeed, the master of hats has long been a role model for young Tyler, and he does what we should all be doing for those we look up to. He gives a massive shoutout on the ‘gram, and the love is so clear as it blares in caps, where he depicts the ways in which Williams has played a large part in his life. It’s never a bad time to pay homage to those you look up to, whether they are A-list celebrities or people you see in your everyday life.
Yep, shoutouts are good for your soul and below we put together a chain of shoutouts that pretty much took form on its own. Really, it’s a testimony to the power of reaching out to those you respect and it (sort of) creates a beautiful circle of shoutouts which you could argue is like the circle of karma or something, you know that whole “you get what you give” mantra? Either way, this is only a small snippet of the love that these artists are putting out there, but it still goes a long way. And of course, read Tyler’s ode to Pharrell below.

01. Tyler shouted out Kanye
The love Tyler has for Kanye has been about for years, as seen recently at his GOLF WANG show when he both announced his love for Ye and called him a “beautiful human.”

02. Kanye shouted out Skepta
Ye brought out about 50+ people up on stage with him for the most lit performance at the Brit Awards when he showcased ‘All Day’, alongside British grime MCs Skepta, Jammer, Shorty, Krept and Konan, Novelist, Stormzy and Fekky. He then ended the show with a big shoutout to Skepta as well.

03. Skepta shouted out Drake
Skepta dedicated a chunk of his interview with Zane Lowe earlier this year to address the possibility of a Drake/Skepta collab. He said that Drake understands that he doesn’t want to rush “fake music”.
Of course, Drake brought Skepta out on stage with him at a performance that clearly shut down the entire festival.
Yep, these two pretty much kill the shoutout game. From Instagram videos to repping each other on their shirts, these two are killing the fun luv.

04. Drake shouted out Drake and Josh
Whether he’s giving recognition for sharing a name or because it’s one of the greatest shows to have ever graced our TV sets, Drizzy gave a shoutout to one of the best.

05. Drake and Josh shouted out Oprah
Possibly one of the best running gags on the show that was the mother of all running gags was Josh’s love for Oprah.
Of course, real life Josh Peck has kept the gag going even after the last episode of the Nickelodeon show aired in 2007.

06. Oprah inspired Tyler to give away free shit
We could, of course, go on down this path of shoutouts for quite a while, but we figured this beautiful moment in the GOLF WANG show would be a neat way to wrap it up.
Yep, this shoutout to Oprah also doubles as an exposé on the beauty of giving. In this case, Tyler was able to do a giveaway that fulfilled his Oprah-dream of giving away free shit whilst yelling at people. Unbelievable.
