In the end, Tyler shows that he is a talented lyricist on an album that is well-produced and can be very entertaining _ that is, if you don't mind the vitriol that accompanies it. Another good listen is "Treehome95," featuring Quadron's Coco O. T heir methods may seem novel, and the tenor of their crude, adolescent intensity may be previously unmatched, but Tyler, the Creator and his gang of likeminded roustabouts in Odd Future are hip-hop classicists. He and Ocean team up twice on "Wolf," and they're a good pair, particularly on the smooth "Slater," as Tyler raps about having fun on his bike. While Wolf feels like progress on some fronts, it’s also a resolutely conservative effort.
But that still doesn't stop him from dropping gay slurs, in that song and others. Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All aren’t about to channel Malcolm X like Public Enemy, so on his latest album Wolf, OF’s leader Tyler, the Creator cements his status as a complicated storyteller by lamenting his status as a complicated storyteller. "Look at that article that says my subject matter is wrong, saying I hate gays even though Frank is on 10 of my songs," he raps, noting his Odd Future band mate is Frank Ocean, who revealed last year that his first love was a man. On "Rusty," with Domo Genesis and Earl Sweatshirt, he addresses his critics by sarcastically asking them why they believe he hates gays. Tyler is lyrically strong on the Pharrell-assisted "IFHY," confessing his hatred toward a particular female who hurt his feelings. It is also distorted to fit the dimensions of a square image.

When the 22-year-old isn't dropping f-bombs, he often reflects on his childhood and his ascension from being a "dweeb" to becoming famous. Much like his breakthrough album, 2011's "Goblin," Tyler continues to rap with no filter, but in trying to be overly brash, he ends up detracting and distracting from what overall is a pretty good album. "Wolf" has enough slurs against gays to keep GLAAD busy for the next year, and he is an equal opportunity offender, doling out insults against women and others over 18 tracks. As the conspiracy theorists will tell you, Wolf follows a loose storyline set at the. Tyler’s music is as fascinating as ever.Tyler, the Creator, "Wolf" (Odd Future/Sony/RED)īefore you listen to Tyler, the Creator's third album, "Wolf," keep this in mind: The rapper lives to offend. It’s this ability to build worlds in his music that forges another connection between Wolf and Flower Boy. However, the inescapable shadow of slavery interrupts the party on Massa, and the reality of his personal life emerges on the 10-minute Wilshire, a sad story about fancying someone else’s girlfriend that’s so detailed it must be true. The music – soulful flute on Hot Wind Blows and even reggae on Sweet/I Thought You Wanted to Dance – has a global feel, held together by old school breakbeats and the frequent shout-outs of DJ Drama. Instead his new alter-ego is Tyler Baudelaire, an international jetsetter who’s too busy fretting about “Cookie crumbs in the Rolls” to think about the state of the nation.
