Tyler, The Creator - “Tron Cat” (XL, 2011)
Yeah, rape culture. This magically appeared on Youtube. Give it a listen quickly before it inevitably disappears, buy the album when he drops it.
(Out of sheer curiosity I did some sleuthing to try and track this leak and it seems like it originated from this hipster yo-yo demo video. WTF?)
I don’t smoke weed/so no need for the matches
I said fuck coke, now I’m snortin’ Hitler’s ashes

Tyler said that GOBLIN would have a completely different sound than Bastard, and that’s no more apparent than here on Tron Cat - although the content hasn’t changed (shock-tactics spread heavily across graphic imagery), the production aesthetic has shifted a bit further away from the Neptunes quirky, intergalactic sounds and into even more menacing terrain. The “lalala” breakdown? Your guess is as good as mine.
Old people will overanalyze this and try to explain how Odd Future is either a group of mislead children who need to find salvation or pan them as the spawn of Satan. Young people will listen to it and actually focus on the music. Victory for the youngin’s.
