Tyler The Creator has a knack for creating heavy beats that dig in right under the skin, and make you squirm with the uncomfortable topics thrown down: suicide, homophobia, drug abuse in his family; to touch the tip of the iceberg. In his music, Tyler uses a paradoxical personality which has brewed inside him since his childhood, Wolf Haley, which is in the same realm as Slim Shady is to Eminem. Wolf comes across in many songs as an ultra-violent, out of control character who is at war with himself and the world, who takes over Tyler's head and is in Tyler's eyes is "ultra cool". The song Golden comes across as a rough biographical piece where Tyler literally argues against his (dubbed) alter-ego bringing up his problems "why didnt she get that abortion, cause that embryo was morphine" rapping about problems with family and friends, and loosing it mid song "fuck! i killed my fucking friend! fuck!" The ugliness of this piece of art ingrains itself in your brain, the rasp of this skinny skate rat rapper is strangely demonic and is often accompanied by a heavily dubbed voice which amplifies the mood of this album littered with sinful ecstasy. Yonkers opens with a heavy bass and whir which resembles those beats made famous in the 90s, broken by scattered piano notes. The beat is so dirty and the lyrics even dirtier "I'm Wolf, Ace put that fuckin' hole in my head and I'm Wolf, that was me who shoved the cock in your bitch" but also is also desperate "fuck the fame and all the hype G, i just wanna know if my father will ever like me". Goblin as an album is a desperate and hideous beast but will hit deeper than intitially thought. Tyler The Creator's vulnerability as a 19 year old skater comes across quite narcissistic, but raps with the tenacity of rappers 10 years his senior, not to mention the production quality. This is a violently unique piece of work from an artist who can translate his demons successfully into music. Impressive.
