The California native, son of an American mother and absent Nigerian father, went through emotionally difficult times, like all of us, discovering who we are. Rather, the aggressive and hate-filled bars were his way of letting out the pain. I don’t think shock value was his intention. He said it best himself on the opening track of Bastard: “I’m not a fucking role model I’m a 19-year-old fucking emotional coaster with pipe dreams.” And when you listened to his music you could tell he wasn’t lying.īetween the Pharrell-inspired production, brash, diary-spilling lyrics and intentionally offensive bravado, the OFWGKTA sound was cemented in all Tyler knew and felt. Tyler the creator’s fanbase In 2011 vs Tyler the creator’s fanbase in 2017 /aSu1k4l6Vz Tyler the Creator in 2011 vs Tyler the Creator in 2017 /nsRCLpW9DQ You have soft blues and an animated head for what seems to be a healing Tyler.įrom reds to blues and slightly less triggering title names, it wouldn’t be farfetched by any stretch of the imagination to guess that the 19-year-old’s life went through a metamorphosis almost a decade later, now leading to Flower Boy. Two years later and you have Cherry Bomb (arguably Tyler’s most experimental project).Īgain, not intimidating at all. Right on time, two years following Goblin, Tyler released Wolf. Not only was it softer than the two previous album titles, for the first time, the album cover was visually palatable for ages under eight years old.

The blood-red album cover and creepy class picture that his debut mixtape, Bastard, gave us a forever classic and how can we forget Goblin? The only thing darker than his pitch black eyes and title of the album is the upside down cross on his forehead. Tracking back to 2009, it seems as if Tyler has intentionally used his two year per release method to give himself time to grow.

But there is more than what meets the eye. Layering over the moody sky - whose color gradient drips from the honey oat heavens to the Mountains’ indigo tips - are larger-than-life bees, accenting the sunflowers and conveniently covering the face of the scum fuck himself.įrom the intricate detailing of the pin-dot sized Maclaren to whatever the hell Tyler is looking at, there is a stark difference in the cover art of Tyler, the Creator’s Scum Fuck Flower Boy. The yellows sing “Hello” and the burnt oranges invite you in with a hug.
