In Tyler’s last verse he is heard saying “I started an empire, I ‘aint even old enough to drink a f***ing beer yet, I’m tipsy off this soda pop” and pretty much, on one final triumphant verse, states how Odd Future has made it. 2 and Tyler was last heard on the closing finale track “Oldie”. Last we heard of the Odd Future collective as a whole was with 2012’s Odd Future Tape Vol. Since that song, a couple worldwide tours, multiple albums released on the self-named record company Odd Future, a television show called Loiter Squad on the Adult Swim network, a very successful clothing line and merchandise collection including socks, skateboards, pants, and jackets, and even a carnival, it would seems that Odd Future and Tyler himself seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. Tyler is that creepy guy who ate a cockroach in that darkly humorous yet sort of sickening black and white video for his most popular track “Yonkers”. It is truly amazing to see what Tyler was attempting in 2015 that was fully realized half a decade later.Love him or hate him, Odd Future (you know, that group of young Los Angeles natives who took over the Internet at one point and made headlines due to their aggressive and quite absurd music/brand)’s Tyler, The Creator- the sort of face of the group- is out with his latest solo release, Wolf. What Tyler perfected on his 2020 album Igor, he was honing with his Cherry Bomb release. I strongly encourage everyone, whether or not you have heard the Cherry Bomb project before, to listen to it again now and I guarantee you can find something that you appreciate about the record. What’s an incredibly subtle, yet effective way to put his 2015 effort Cherry Bomb back in front of his new listeners? Randomly change the album cover to get people talking about it again. After the world heard this release, I feel that Tyler’s music hit new ears for the first time that it normally would not have. I truly believe that Tyler wanted to put this album in front of listeners again in a world after he dropped Igor.Īrguably his best album and most widely appreciated albums, Igor even won a Grammy for Best Rap Album of 2020.
Tyler the creator wolf album storyline full#
While greatly revered by his core fanbase, it failed to reach mainstream success although full of amazing music. It is no secret that at the time of release, Cherry Bomb was not as well accepted as Tyler had hoped. The image below is titled “Piss Pants,” according to.
Though it is interesting that there was an official change of artwork on streaming platforms. Both images were released as alternate covers, as many (if not all?) of Tyler’s albums have done in the past.
However, given Odd Future’s reach and popularity and Tyler’s undoubted access to in-house talent and artists, this doesn’t seem likely. It is certainly possible that perhaps there was a licensing issue with the artwork and the artist and maybe a certain contract expired. Why would an artist change the cover art so abruptly and randomly when so many have seen and become familiar with the original art? These two albums have been polarized by the hip-hop world in terms of critical reception and many listeners outside of Tyler’s core fanbase are familiar with these releases.
Tyler has always been one for bizarre antics and following one’s own uniqueness, but to me this seems strange for even someone as eclectic as Tyler.
