Unfortunately, GOBLIN fell ill to many of the flaws that usually come with young unpolished artists and because of this it came in as the worst album in his discography. I hate to say it, but we don’t need three songs about loneliness if only one is really developed exceptionally. In celebration of IGOR, Tyler, the Creators first number one album, theres no better time to take a ride through the rambunctious Flower Boys production. In 2011, Tyler, The Creator, an inexperienced artist at the time, made his first major label debut with GOBLIN which featured Tyler at his most raw and controversial. Other ideas expressed on this album weren’t really fleshed out until the latter half which kind of annoyed me because, if Tyler would have maybe cut two or three songs out on this project for a more concise album, then I would have loved this that much more. I think that the song “Pothole” had an interesting premise, but Jaden’s hook was so bad, that the song was almost unlistenable. People like Jaden Smith, Frank Ocean, and Rex Orange County show up multiple times on the album, but really bring nothing interesting for me personally. Subsequently, Tyler released his major debut album, Goblin, in 2011, under XL Recordings, in which Tyler talks about very controversial topics and aggressive instrumentals Since then, Tyler would. I almost wanted every feature to be cut from the track list so Tyler can give his own perspective on certain things. The same can be said about a lot of the hooks on the tracks. Songs like “Foreword,” “Where the Flower Blooms,” and “Boredom,” have the right intentions and follow the consistent tone of the project, but I wish the there was more meat on the bones when it came to some of Tyler’s verses. However, at points I feel that lyrically we see Tyler’s limits and as a result, some songs did not have the emotional punch that they probably could have had. He surprisingly brings up very universal and serious topics such as sexuality, loneliness, and materialism, and they all interconnect in a very authentic fashion. Each song has a different theme that represents life in some manner as well, which I thought was pretty valuable. Tyler really takes his time to formulate a concept that is easy to follow for listeners, and he uses himself driving in a car throughout the album as a representation of life. I love how Tyler makes every beat on this project, and he definitely wanted this to be his own creation and story from the start. He does this through his own personal trials and tribulations as well, enhancing the product in an interesting manner.įirst of all, the production was gorgeous, inventive, and even stunning at points. Despite some flaws, Tyler really opens up and forces his audience to expand their knowledge of the world surrounding them. Never being a huge Tyler fan, I was really hoping that the could sway me in a positive way with his usual charm. Nonetheless, here we are in 2017, and Tyler has really matured and developed into a viable rapper on his new album, Flower Boy (also known as Scum Fuck Flower Boy).
Although critics have enjoyed his past projects, Tyler has not given us anything that memorable over the past couple of years. The versatile feature rosters includes 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, Pharrell Williams, Teezo Touchdown, Brent Faiyaz, Domo Genesis, Fana Hues and DAISY WORLD.Compared to most hip hop artists out there today, Tyler, the Creator has kind of fallen to irrelevancy with regards to his musical style. The album seemingly serves as a culmination of all of Tyler, The Creator’s eras in one.
