I wish I would've thought of that in the intro. At times, the beats are minimalistic at other times, complicated. Not caring but caring at the same time.Īnd the musicality follows suit. It's unusual, which is exactly what Tyler the Creator and Odd Future are all about. Why do you I ask myself yes-or-no questions in an album review? No.
Tyler definitely created here. Comparing avid fans to child soldiers is, uh, new lyrical territory (as far as I know). "Little homies is reppin' like I been with Kony" "It will let me not cough." As a fellow asthmatic, that statement hits home. Tyler's clunky way of describing said kid's relationship with his asthma is kind of amazing. Ostensibly, it's a narrative about a troubled kid who is chronically bullied and harboring violent thoughts. Tyler's awkward charm kicks in on the track Pigs. "My best friend is an inhaler because it will not let me cough" "We can still dance/But I don't have no rhythm" Except, again, Tyler makes it more about Tyler than anyone else. He attempts to go in on a social commentary about the murder of Trayvon Martin. "In a black hoodie with a Arizona and a bag of skittles/Just to see what all that hype is about"Īgain, Tyler toys with thoughtfulness. Here, he debunks his racist homophobia by claiming to kiss his white label mate just to prove a point. Like, "C'mon guys, just because most of my lyrics are homophobic slurs doesn't mean I'm homobophic." Oh, OK. I respect Tyler for kinda-sorta embracing sexuality that falls outside of hip-hop's status quo (see: Frank Ocean). Now we get into the confusing depth of Wolf. "Said I was a racist homophobic/So I grabbed Lucas and filmed us kissing" Which is the peculiar thing about Tyler, he barks a fragmented line that sounds like a tweener's Christmas list, yet I keep nodding my head as if I like what I'm hearing.
It's lyricism like this that really makes you appreciate full sentences and actual rhyme schemes.
"Green hat, Vans, golf top is the team uniform" His fatherlessness led to his success, however - and that's his idea, not mine. They're issues he acknowledges with lyrics like this, but he dresses them up in gritty bravado. Tyler, The Creator SIR BAUDELAIRE English Lyrics.
