A hip-hop game changer: How Grammy-nominated Tyler, the Creator became Tyler, the entrepreneur
LOS ANGELES - "Jellyfish are evil," Tyler, the Creator, declares with absolute certainty.
We're at Hollywood's Chalice Recording Studios, where Tyler fidgets with a piece of studio equipment as he talks, his fingernails shiny under a coat of glittery silver polish.

The Grammy nominee - he's up for rap album for last year's introspective "Flower Boy" - isn't randomly discussing his disdain (OK, hatred) for the squishy, poisonous sea creature. The tentacled animal was part of the inspiration for "The Jellies," the Adult Swim animated sitcom he co-created with Lionel Boyce. But that's just one of many projects that keeps the 26-year-old busy.
Consider the particularly action-packed two weeks in October when Tyler premiered "The Jellies," hosted his sixth Camp Flog Gnaw
