21-year-old University of South Alabama student Jack Aaron Christensen is accused of making a terroristic threat after allegedly writing the lyrics to Tyler, The Creator’s “Radicals” on a flip chart in the school library, according to AP News.
Genius spoke with Mr. Christensen to explain how it all went down and school safety expert Amanda Klinger for their opinion on how schools can prevent this from happening in the future.

And this is why he said "dont do any of the shjt in this song" =D
bottom 5 goblin
nah bc singing radicals in school is wild lmao
also you cant blame tyler he said so
Radicals is a bop
but the school ignores literal bullying
"If some white kid had aimed His AK-47 at forty seven kids I don't wanna see my name mentioned"
I don’t think songs make kids crazy it’s either the schools themselves or the bullies or whatever they got going on songs are the last thing that will cause something bad to happen unless there crazy
The random disclaimer is a smarter idea that Tyler did.
The moment I read the thumbnail I immediately knew it was radicals…..
I was taken to a psych for a month for writing the radicals lyrics on my notebook during my 6th grade year.
white boy gets arrested for listening to nerdy radicals song ?
bro literally walked into this one himself, out of ALL songs he chose one of tylers most violent and aggressive songs igor had just came out he could have wrote a lyric from i think??? ?
Okay Jack deserved that for being so deliberately obtuse. What did you expect to happen without anyone knowing the context of the song?
that was badass
"Hey, Don't do anything I say in this song"
Now just imagine he wrote lyrics from tron cat
School shootings because of the school system and bad parenting
this guys a legend he didnt get in the car
Bruh I sing pumped up kicks and don’t get suspended..
Same thing happened to me in highschool for listening to streetlight manifesto.
How does genius have great news reporting. cool
good thing he didn’t write that ONE verse in tron cat
THIS DIDNT AGE WELL
They doings everything to prevent a school shootins but ban guns
White America, amirite?
"Random disclaimer"
Tyler specifically gave a disclaimer not to do anything he says ?
BRUH WHAT TYPE A TYLER CREATOR SONG IS THIS RADICALS
??John 3:15-18 KJV? 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
The length of the video is kinda nice
1:20 where it starts
I did that but with "she" by tyler the creator and I didn't get arrested ??
Smh ..white America ????
My friend got suspended for singing Murder on my mind
Bruh there was a disclaimer and Tyler never put that devilish shit
Don't blame anything on me white America
There hasn't been an uptick in anything. Your asses just weren't paying attention.
This guy is black but sounds white ?
I am high rn idk whay iam saynn
I may sound extremely stupid But is this the same person as Tyler the created of school from house of farts
Why would kids be so dumb to do this knowing all the shit going on
Lmao this the same america that blamed all the school shooting on Eminem
Radicals goes hard af. I don’t blame him.
