These aren’t your standard Logic Pro or Fruity Looped manufactured tracks with quantized percussion. At first listen the drastic change in production style grabs your attention. The leader of the “Loiter Squad” presents his third release “Flower Boy”. A free spirited, brutally honest, talented, judgement resistant artist who has relied on a spoonful of shock value to make the music go down. That moment is indicative of Tyler’s career. Within a few minutes he was on stage again violently head banging until he threw himself into a sea of humanity to crowd surf. A pre-incarcerated, carbohydrate rich Gucci Mane was performing “Photoshoot” when Tyler started dancing and was abruptly choked, manhandled, and thrown off the stage. The first time I encountered Tyler the Creator was on a YouTube Video.
