Anything with a write-up was in my top 50 at the end of the decade, in December of 2019.
As of today (June 14, 2022), 6 of those original top 50 have dropped into 51-100. None of them have dropped off the list entirely.

Top Tracks: Where This Flower Blooms, Who Dat Boy, November
“Bitch, Fuck.” isn’t exactly the most elegant start to an album. Prior to 2017 though, elegant is just about the last word anyone would use to describe Tyler Okonma. As the face of the LA horde of young creatives known formally as Odd Future, Tyler was a provocateur. He built his name on hard hitting production, inflammatory lyrics, irreverent interviews, and surreal music videos. Throughout the first half of this decade, if Tyler wasn’t actively attempting some sort of provocation you would’ve thought something was wrong with the guy. The major shift started with 2015’s Cherry Bomb, a nice step forward, that in retrospect feels a bit like a test run – the build up to something bigger. On Flower Boy, Tyler was evidently interested in making something prettier than anything he had made before.
Opener Foreword quickly expands from that peculiar introduction as hazy swaths of synth wash over guest singer Rex Orange County. By the time the following track rolls in, Tyler’s production is as lush as ever, and longtime friend / frequent collaborator Frank Ocean sounds more at home here than he has on any of his prior Tyler features. Now, Tyler’s still himself, and he still spices up the album’s flow, going hard on tracks like Who Dat Boy or I Ain’t Got Time – a trend he continues on 2019’s similarly melodic Igor with tracks New Magic Wand and What’s Good – but despite the sonic edge, Tyler’s still maintaining lyrical vulnerability. It was certainly a bit of a shock when two days before Flower Boy’s release, I Ain’t Got Time dropped as a single with lines suggesting that Tyler (a guy often accused of homophobia by the ill-informed) may not be as straight as we once thought. It was refreshing just how nonchalant about it he appeared to be, but considering his reputation as a prankster, a surprising chunk of his fanbase didn’t even believe it at first. I suppose it’s easy to write off a coming out line as humorous as “Next line will have ‘em like ‘Whoa’. I’ve been kissin’ white boys since 2004.” Once the full album was out, deep cuts like Garden Shed delved further into the topic, reaffirming Flower Boy as a coming out statement. However, framing Flower Boy in an LGBT light is only part of the story. Tyler is reconciling with his past throughout Flower Boy, and anyone who’s been living under a spotlight since their late teens might find it easy to look back with regret. On November, a late album highlight, his laments include being so preoccupied with making “classics” that he loses track of everything else and being remembered mostly for his headline making tweets. Tyler has always been an interesting figure in this regard. He has insecurities. He cares quite sincerely about the quality of his art. He’s also loud. He’s known for speaking before he thinks. He’s spent a lot of time trying to hide how much he cares because vulnerability isn’t exactly easy for men in their early twenties. Flower Boy is all of that coming crashing down. It’s fragmented, conflicted, and complicated – an ultimately beautiful, enticing, and thoughtful self-portrait. [First added to this chart: 04/26/2020]
