At first you might assume it’s a big put on, but Tyler’s production and the singing children match the dreamlike atmosphere, so he’s not joking – at only 22 he has been aged beyond his years by stardom’s responsibilities. Tyler’s personal therapy also includes his escapist fantasies, such as those seen in the three part song “PartyIsntOver/Campfire/Bimmer.” Even though his fame and fortune have risen to the point he could pop champagne in strip clubs like a NBA baller, he waxes poetic about wanting to go to Odd Future summer camp like a Golf Wang Boy Scout.

Tyler the creator wolf album reviews full#
One of them is his absentee father, and while “Answer” is full of vitriolic language, it’s also a darkly beautiful song where he sings the hooks along with Syd Tha Kid. Tyler has a hit list, and when he takes aim, his verbal barbs only hit those who are chosen to deserve it. “Wolf” features another of Tyler’s trademarks – raw unrepentant anger – but he’s not loading up full clips and spraying innocent verbal targets. If you get beyond the shock and awe campaign, he’s quite the narrator and storyteller – splashing lyrical paint on audio canvases in methods that only seem haphazard to the unobservant.

His deep syrupy voice provides an endless array of audio manipulation opportunities, many of which come from his own production – among the best in his Odd Future clique. At times his signature trait has been identified as lyrics that are designed to provoke shocked reactions, but behind the homophobic slurs and rape fantasies is a young man with as much angst as talent. That’s a clever gimmick for intros, outros and filler material on his albums but it also hints at a deeper truth – one of the few things about Tyler that can easily be quantified. Trying to quantify Tyler Gregory Okonma is an exercise in futility he’d probably rather people other than his therapist not even attempt – except of course he’s his own therapist.
