Game recognizes game.

Sometimes, a musician's style is so well known and specific that it's only a matter of time before they get lovingly roasted. Popular "how to make an X song" videos have musicians trying to recreate the sound of their favorite artists, with varying levels of parody and sincerity.

Normally the original artists don't respond to the appreciative jest, either because of their status or just that they're card-carrying members of the NFL (the No Fun League.)

But this time, an artist truly recognized that a parody was hilarious. And also, pretty accurate.

Nat Puff, also known by her stage name Left At London, is a trans singer/songwriter who's known for her deeply personal indie rock, iconic Twitter posts, and being the girl from the "haha, I do that" Vine. But she's much more than that, and has been fusing her backgrounds in music and comedy to create some truly great content.

Having previously created an on-point "How to make a Frank Ocean song" video, she stepped it up this time imitating another one of her favorite artists, Tyler, The Creator.

After breaking down the key types of instrumentals and beats typically used in his songs, as well as highlighting some stereotypical lyrics, Puff beaks into a perfect impersonation of Tyler's vocal sound and flow.

She also goes the extra mile by performing a version reminiscent of his older style where she describes Tyler's newer persona as "a lonely gay man who made the Grinch soundtrack."

On balancing her own online persona with a blossoming music career, Puff told Mashable that she tries to "mash them together and see what people like. I’m still getting the hang of it. But I’m much more established in comedy than I am music. Which is fine just as long as I can make the switchover."

But when content (especially if it's a roast) is good, you can't deny its presence. The video skyrocketed in views after it was retweeted by Tyler, The Creator himself, who actually had a good laugh.

Twitter confirmed that the video was genius, and legitimately great music-making.

Puff says what's unique about her comedy is that it's intrinsically music-based. "That’s why I’m very set in the idea that you can listen to my music without watching my comedy, but you can’t watch my comedy without listening to my music. They’re parts of me, and if you want to get to know me, I suggest you get to know all of me."

While Puff can clearly do a pretty great imitation, if you want to hear more of her original music (and who doesn't wanna support LGBTQ indie artists?), check out her latest EP, Transgender Street Legend Vol. 1, on most streaming services and Bandcamp.
