New: Tyler, the Creator

To be rapping like this when you are only 20 years old something must happened to this kid during his childhood that really messed his head up. I was recently chastised by my little sis for missing a recent Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All gig, and to be honest I had no idea who they were. If I had known that this guy was involved I definitely would have made a bigger effort to see them, if not for the music perhaps for the shock value. If you're attempting to listen to Goblin, the new album from 'Tyler, the Creator' you best be ready for some regular cuss words, homophobic slurs, sexist song titles and general angry rap that makes you wonder what sort of shit goes on in this guys head when he sits down to write a song. Tyler doesn't make any apologies for writing the sort of lyrics that would make John Mayer cry, so I guess you should probably respect him for that. And you don't need to believe or pay attention to the words to really enjoy his music. It's worth a look for the beats and gravel-edged tones of Tyler's flow alone, but if you're easily offended then take my advice... Earmuffs! (bear in mind the two tracks below are some of the tamest off the album)... Enjoy

Tyler, the Creator - Yonkers


Tyler, the Creator - Analog
