Tyler, the Creator's new album, Wolf, leaked early and I've listened to it a few times already. I don't listen to very much hip hop and rap (mainly local Seattle groups), but this album is pretty great. I watched the music video for IFHY and was very impressed.
The last line of IFHY reminded me of this post titled: Black Folk Don't Tip
"crazy, who makes me the happiest can make me the saddest". -A thought I've had many a time throughout my life. I hadn't heard Tyler prior to last weeks #weeklymusicthread and I find it intriguing. At times I really like what I'm hearing and at others it doesn't resonate with me.... and I'm glad for that. -If that makes sense?
I don't like too much of his work (Yonkers is a great song and video) but I really like Bimmer off the new album.
The last half of that is pretty dope. I'm looking forward to a listen to that album. I don't think there's any group out there that wears their own swag more than Tyler. He is definitely the master of his universe and the epicenter of an entire teenage culture. If Thom Yorke wore a radiohead tshirt, he'd lose half his fan base.
