![]() TYLER THE CREATOR CHERRY BOMB TRACKLIST WITH FEATURES SKINThere are plenty of rap tracks for those only interested at a skin deep level. Tyler could have a hit single if that was his measure of success, but he clearly prefers to let his ideas wander. An album of “normal†hip-hop songs would be a disservice to himself and the genre. However, rapping is what Tyler seems the least interested in. Much like Eminem, his topics sometimes ruffle feathers, yet there’s no denying he has a control over words many do not. ![]() An outspoken fan (particularly of N*E*R*D, Pharrell’s hip hop rock band), “Buffalo†is more than an homage to the producer’s defining sound. Although he only guests on one track, his influence can be heard throughout Tyler’s career. But it’s the Pharrell Williams feature that makes the most sense. The two rappers obviously have rubbed off on Tyler, from Lil Wayne’s punch line rapping to directly quoting Kanye on the title track. Here he goes head-to-head with two of the most powerful rappers around: Lil Wayne and Kanye West. The result is “Smuckers†which will end up a fan favorite. Many argue that Tyler is best when he is simply rapping, not trying to incorporate other voices and annoying accoutrements. He’s found a way to abridge all the introspective, long-winded skits into concise song tie-ins. It is worth noting this is his shortest, most cohesive album. ![]() Slow songs, angry songs, love songs, you name it he tries it, which has always been the case. But while Earl’s album hones in on a specific mood, Tyler’s shifts at every turn. For proof, look no further than Earl Sweatshirt’s excellent I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside. Now they’re all getting more serious and treating their craft as a form of art. These immature aspects are not necessarily gone, but the focus has shifted. Along with the rest of his Odd Future crew, he made a name for himself with dark lyrics overshadowed by political incorrectness. It’s all over the place because Tyler rebels against the norm. This sentiment is one he's lived by since he released Bastard in 2009.Ĭherry Bomb, Tyler’s fourth album, has a little nothing for everyone. I hope you understand,†Tyler, the Creator sings on the opening track of Cherry Bomb. ![]() €œI don’t like to follow the rules and that’s just who I am. ![]()
