Well, this isn’t something you see every day. Rapper Tyler, the Creator decided that in order to rap the new Dr. Seuss book, he had to wear a Cat in the Hat costume.

Tyler, the Creator was the musical guest for last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, so Jimmy Kimmel used his rapping talents for a segment on What Pet Should I Get?. The book was written by Theodor Seuss Geisel in the early 1960s wand was finally released this week, over two decades after Dr. Seuss’ death.

Since Dr. Seuss is all about rhymes anyway, Tyler should have been able to easily perform a rap version of Pet. However, it wasn’t quite as good as Kimmel was hoping for, so the comedian interrupted him a couple of times.

Tyler, The Creator was on JKL to promote his new album, Cherry Bomb. He also performed a couple of his own songs.
