Tyler, the Creator's ninth album was released shortly after its announcement, accompanied by various marketing strategies, including cryptic art installations. The artist encouraged fans to lower their expectations, asserting it lacked deep concepts. This release features braggadocio lyrics reflecting Tyler's historical persona, marked by memorable one-liners that resonate with his earlier provocative style. The album runs less than half an hour, diverging from the soul-searching nature of his previous work, revealing a blend of thematic inconsistency and bold self-assertion in its overall composition.
Tyler Okonma seemed keen to deflate the kind of anticipation that arises when your last three albums have all been critically lauded, platinum-selling chart-toppers full of big ideas.
Y'all better get them expectations and hopes down, he posted on X, this ain't no concept nothing.
The lyrics tend to stick to braggadocio and reaffirmations of the nihilistic persona Tyler inhabited in the days when he was deemed such a threat to the country's morals.
There are a lot of memorable one-liners, among which I don't trust white people with dreadlocks and his dismissal of an ageing rival stand.
