Tyler, The Creator: Goblin Vinyl 2LP
$31.95
<p><em>Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All leader Tyler, The Creator's second studio album.</em> The lead single "Yonkers" and the movement that <strong>Wolf Haley</strong> and his posse have spearheaded played a large role in all the hype behind <i>Goblin</i>, 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" 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," a delightfully vile cut featuring <strong>Hodgy Beats</strong>. Also listen to "She" featuring <strong>Frank Ocean</strong>, "Transylvania," "Window," and "Tron Cat" to get a sense of the "raw energy" that The Creator has been credited with (by everyone from <strong>?uestlove</strong> to <strong>Jay-Z</strong>) injecting into hip-hop. 2LP gatefold, comes with free mp3 downloads, recommended.</p> <ul> <li>black double vinyl pressing</li> <li>gatefold sleeve</li> <li>digital download included</li> <li>music label: XL Recordings 2011</li> </ul> <h6>reviewed by nakinboots 11/2011</h6>
