What makes Tyler the Creator’s 2017 album Flower Boy so important? Tyler the Creator is a rapper originating from California with a long and infamous career. He earned his fame as leading member of rap collective Odd Future, the same group that spawned stars such as Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, Syd and Tyler himself. For a long time, with the release of his albums Bastard, Goblin, Wolf and Cherry Bomb, Tyler was an incredibly polarizing figure. With the release of Flower Boy in 2017 Tyler showed a softer side of himself with refreshing, original beats and heartfelt lyricism. Flower Boy took Tyler from being a niche figure with an ugly reputation to one of the most respected rappers in the game, influencing everyone from Kanye West to Brockhampton. In this video I discuss Tyler’s evolution from immature young man to respected musician. A joint project between Tyler, the Creator and rapper A$AP Rocky is hotly anticipated and expected to drop any day. Camp Flog Gnaw is Tyler’s upcoming music festival that will feature names such as Kids See Ghosts, Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s duo, Rex Orange County, Brockhampton, Post Malone, SZA, Jaden Smith, Earl Sweatshirt, Lauryn Hill and many more music stars.

To be fair to Tyler, while it is the middle of his career (well we don't know he could be making albums into his 40s and then it wouldn't be middle) he dropped flower boy at the age of 26, same as when Kanye dropped college drop out and younger than Eminem with sslp. Tyler blew up really young and we are starting to see him really mature before our eyes. Imo we are seeing him really hitting his creative stride

@jasonfernandes7965 5 жыл бұрын

Never said it wasn't, i just think (in my opinion) Flower boy deserved the award. In terms of production and originality, flower boy was better. That's why i said, no disrespect to Kendrick or DAMN but i feel like he just won the award because he's Kendrick Lamar. Same thing with Bruno Mars, the guy was nominated/won so many it's just ridiculous and disrespectful for the other artists who put in just as much if not harder work than him. Does that mean his project was bad ? Of course not, but they choose a winner based on how mainstream they are, which is unfair. That's why i'm calling it a popularity contest

Looking back to this video now when IGOR is released really shows that Tyler is almost fully matured now. With IGOR making a whole new character, and going through the journey of falling in love and eventually realizing that this might not be for him, really shows that he isn't just an angsty teen, but an extremely creative and mature adult, that isn't scared to show his emotions and feelings anymore, and focuses on making actually good music with good meaning. Now, don't get me wrong, Tyler has had a talent his entire life, but the actual meaning of his music when he started producing it scared off many people.

It really explain Tyler’s story outline in a similar way to Kids See Ghosts’ story. I would’ve liked you to go a bit more in depth to his other 2 projects, Cherry Bomb in particular because it’s an important stepping stone in his career and style and also it has a literal documentary’s worth of information. But yeah uh good video.
