Then came 2013’s Wolf, which I also really liked and I enjoyed the trilogy of mixtapes that Bastard, Goblin, and Wolf had been. Especially on Bastard, Tyler’s first tape, I could really get into it because of songs like Bastard where he gets really introspective and depressing. Tyler and Earl stood out to me though, but especially Tyler as I thought Earl was too bland and monotone (until this year), because they both seemed to have a deeper meaning to some of the ridiculous stuff they were saying. They’re all rebellious and go against the grain, and like to do things their own way, which spawned the strange way that they got popular. As time went on though, I realized he and Odd Future were just a bunch of goofy kids that make Hip-Hop music. Again, like a lot of people, I couldn’t get past the lyrics about rape and killing, the really dark and synth heavy production, and just in general the character of Tyler, The Creator. I thought the song was pretty good, but I was quickly turned off of him after I ventured deeper into his discography. Goblin was the song that really pushed him into stardom, or more specifically, the video for it. When Tyler, The Creator first came around, like a lot of people, I didn’t know what to think of him.
