Flower Boy (studio album) by Tyler, The Creator

I don’t know how many actual songs are this record. There are quite a few interesting snippets of beat and flow that interrupt and collide with each other though.

This is a game changing album. People will reference this album for years to come as a touchstone for many new artists and will influence many musicians in the upcoming generations.

I vibe with this. Definitely have to listen to Tyler's first two albums now. Would rather hear more stuff like this than Igor, but the man can do what he wants to.

Generally has good interludes, lyrics, melodies, and production. The final song is awful though, and that just ruins the album's genius. IGOR is just a better album.

He managed to blend his love for cutesy music with his dark rapping style, which is remarkable to say the least. I can only be so excited about his music though, Tyler has never been at the top of my best rappers list (not in the worst rappers list either for sure). The polished production then also functions a bit as a way to make up for that and hence tends to attract people who weren't reaaaaally looking rap in the first place. But the whole sure is better than the sum of the parts, it works perfectly.

Solid album with some good lyrics and interesting themes

Shows what can happen when an artist matures. He hits way harder on this one, even as he's not trying to be so brazenly provocative as earlier work.

Tyler’s “coming out” album ranks up there with his best (still Goblin for me) and shows him building on his musical identity with a new sound. Where his past lyrics have been perceived as homophobic, here it’s clear that his provocative nature is closely tied to his own feelings about himself as a sexually ambiguous man.
