Tyler The Creator: Goblin (with FREE MP3 Download) 2LP
Probably one of the most anticipated albums of the year, here is Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All leader Tyler, The Creator's second studio album. The lead single "Yonkers(1)" and the movement that Wolf Haley and his posse have spearheaded played a large role in all the hype behind Goblin, and the shock-and-awe rapper delivers exactly what his fans were expecting - nonsensical wordplay, vulgarity, don't-give-a-damn attitude, and lots of nightmare-fantasy lyrics over minimal and quirky homemade beats. Check out "Goblin(2)" where the 20-year old MC proclaims "I'm not a fucking role model, I'm a 19-year old fucking emotional coaster with pipe dreams" or "Sandwitches(3)," a delightfully vile cut featuring Hodgy Beats. Also listen to "She(4)," "Transylvania(5)," "Window(6)," and "Tron Cat(7)" to get a sense of the "raw energy" that The Creator has been credited with (by everyone from ?uestlove to Jay-Z) injecting into hip-hop. 2LP gatefold, comes with free mp3 downloads, recommended.
