#Tyler the creator flower boy (2017).zippyshare full#

The writing here is sparse and evasive, full of pregnant pauses, coded language, and outright omissions. On Flower Boy, his fifth solo full-length, Tyler has achieved a new level of self-understanding and it’s a marvel how coy he is about that discovery. They were self-examination, imagination unleashed in hopes of understanding the imaginer. Provocation was built into that openness, and it understandably became the defining element of Tyler’s music (for Tyler and for listeners), but the mock therapy sessions staged on Bastard (2009) and Goblin (2011), and the psychodrama of Wolf (2013), had purposes alongside crude shock and annoyance. To listen to his early music was to submerge yourself in an actual stream of consciousness, with no thought-whether vile, embarrassing, or inane-left unsaid. Tyler was at the forefront of this deluge, aping the language of therapy to explore his every idea in gruesome, charming, and absurd detail. The Odd Future universe sprang from a big bang of Tumblr, Twitter, and Formspring accounts to flood the web with original photography, personal revelations, and iterative in-jokes.

Tyler, the Creator’s career is built on winking oversharing.
