I’m not crazy about the synths that come in during the hook. It makes it sound more pungent in my opinion. Also, I know this is a really small detail, but I really like how the snare is panned all the way to the left. There’s not really a lot going on, and I kinda like that. First of all, that weird ass sound effect that he looped is fucking awesome. If I rated music videos I’d give it a 4 outta 5. Most Hip Hop music videos are boring as fuck. Don’t get me wrong this is definitely more interesting than most Hip Hop music videos, but, again, that’s not saying much at all. I think they could’ve done a little more. Then he eats a cockroach-although it’s easy to see that he doesn’t actually put it in his mouth-and then hangs himself. However, nothing interesting really happens… He sits there and raps the song. I mean, I like it, but WHY the fuck do people think it’s so amazing? I will admit that this shot is really cool…Īnd the black contacts look cool too.
You know, I think the music video is kinda cool, but uh… Nah… Lmao. This was the first song I ever heard from him. I’m pretty sure this is still Tyler’s biggest song to this day. “ All you fucking lames don’t have to like me / The devil doesn’t wear Prada, I’m clearly in a fucking white tee.” I don’t have any problems with this song. It’s not something I would listen to if it was just an instrumental, but, just like with the Bastard intro, it serves as the perfect sonic backdrop for the content of the lyrics. “ They claim the shit I say is just wrong / Like nobody has those really dark thoughts when alone / I’m just a teenager, who admits he’s suicide prone / My life is doing pretty good, so that date is postponed for now.” The production isn’t too flashy, but I really like it. He also responded to the backlash he got over his content. He mentions not wanting to be associated with backpackers like me, or, as some people might call them, hipster nerd virgins. Tyler covers a lot of shit he’d been dealing with ever since OF blew up in this song.
#Tyler the creator goblin serial
I’m not a fuckin’ rapist, or a serial killer… I lied.” I don’t even know why the fuck he said that in the song. “ Yonkers dropped and left them craniums mindfucked / Now competition missing like that nigga my mom fucked.” I also really like the part when he’s like “ Okay, you guys caught me. TC tries to calm him down is really entertaining. Just listening to Tyler get more and more frustrated while Dr. It really feels like he’s in therapy opening up to his doctor and being super honest about everything. I just love when Tyler goes back and forth with Dr. It’s almost like when Drake does those AM/PM songs. It has the same dark, slow, open type of production that was on the intro to Bastard. It was the perfect way to follow up Inglorious. It was pretty much the perfect way to start this album. Not that much tho… Anyway, I fucking love this song. Again, it’s just a nitpick, but it kinda bothered me a little bit. This album is supposed to be the second session, but this intro made it seem like it’d been a lot longer than one day. He says “ it’s been a while since our last session,” but in Bastard he said the three sessions would take place over three consecutive days.
What you need is me, someone to talk to. Uh, it’s been a while since our last session, so tell me what’s been going on.” Okay, I know this is a nitpick, but I just wanna point out a tiny gripe I had with this intro. You don’t even have the balls to begin with. TC saying “ You wouldn’t do that Tyler… Kill yourself, or anyone.
He implied that he wanted to kill himself at the end of Bastard, so this track starts off with Dr. So, this track pretty much picks up right where Inglorious left off. Every song is self produced, except where noted. Hopefully the concept is a little more focused on this one. I already know it contains some of my favorite songs from Tyler. I’m definitely expecting to like this project more than Bastard. I’ve never listened to it in it’s entirety, but I remember liking what I heard. I was just getting into Hip Hop around this time, so I didn’t really know enough about the genre to understand why people were underwhelmed. Odd Future fans are… Well… I think this picture speaks for itself…Īnyway, if I’m not mistaken, a fairly sizable portion of the Hip Hop community seemed to be disappointed with this project. Okay, where do I begin with this project… Well, following the success of Bastard, there was an absurd level of anticipation leading up to the release of this LP. This album was released on May 10th in 2011.
