The second track, "Yonkers", features a gritty beat with a large bass sound, reminiscent of the production of Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA. Goblin continues the horrorcore subject matter first displayed on Bastard. The album cover features Buffalo Bill at age 19. The album features guest appearances from Odd Future members Frank Ocean, Hodgy Beats, Jasper Dolphin, Taco, Domo Genesis, Mike G and Syd. The album's songs were produced almost entirely by Tyler himself, along with a contribution from fellow Odd Future member Left Brain. TC, first heard on his 2009 mixtape, Bastard. Goblin continues Tyler's dialogues with his fictional therapist Dr. It was released on May 10, 2011, by XL Recordings. However I knock him down for some of the lyric content which I definitely do not agree with.Goblin is the debut studio album by Tyler, the Creator. I give this album 9/10 because its powerful, dark album that I can relate to. It’s like JD Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, but an album.
When I listen to the album I hear a 19 year old kid who just has angst with the world and his life and is singing how he feels.
Some of the more frowned upon rap elements are still there, with Tyler rapping about hitting women, sexual assault, necrophilia and homophobia, however Tyler has always said in interviews he doesn’t mean what he says, this is one of the reasons many people hate him so much which is fair.
Songs like “Yonkers” and “She” have already been big hits in the US and his rise to fame has been underground in the UK with him selling out shows in minutes at small venues. Tyler raps about his disgust at his rising fame, his dad leaving him, his past falling out with friends and feeling violent and suicidal.
The songs feel bleak and dark, anyone hoping for something to dance/laugh to like Kanye West or Eminem should put the CD down and walk away. The album takes place over 15 songs and has a concept of Tyler talking to a fictional therapist with Goblin being their second “session.” His first album B*****d was their first session and upcoming album Wolf being their third and final one. It’s about suicide, abandonment issues and dealing with internal rage. There’s no stereotypical guns, girls and diamonds in these lyrics. The rap collective he belongs to OFWGKTA (Odd Future wolf gang Kill The All) continue to help him divide that opinion with their music.īefore I start, Goblin is not your typical rap album. His darker lyric content, strange behavior in public and unique backing beats seem to divide as much as gather fans. Tyler the Creator is one of the most loved and hated rap artists in the world right now.
