Album Of The Year 2017: 1. Tyler, The Creator - Flower Boy


Not only has Tyler, The Creator taken WIIHAMB's Album of the Year slot for 2017, the rapper is also my artist of the year. Upon the release of Cherry Bomb two years ago I was prepared to stan, ready to hear my new favourite record. I came away in love with 'Fucking Perfect' and a big fan of 'Deathcamp' but that was all. With that in mind, an album that took the ideas behind those two tracks and built upon them was literally all I could have asked for. And that's what we got on GRAMMY nominated Flower Boy.

There's a lot of speculation currently that Tyler's next record will be a "pop album" but it's baffling that anybody would think Flower Boy isn't already a pop album. In much the same way as I discussed about Brockhampton yesterday, Tyler has developed the ability to direct his album to the point where is hits the mark across pop, R&B and hip hop with seemingly little to no effort. On track two of Flower Boy, 'Where This Flower Blooms', Tyler not only talks about his growth and blossoming personally but also within his music and musical style. Where on Cherry Bomb so many of the tracks (Find Your Wings, Blow My Load) feel like overworked interludes, every track on Flower Boy feels like a song, even including album closing instrumental 'Enjoy Right Now, Today'.

An unavoidably clear observation of both Cherry Bomb and Flower Boy is the plethora of featured artists. On the former, these guests were littered throughout and made tracks feel oversaturated and unnecessarily complex. In contrast, every feature on Flower Boy fits each song perfectly, adding dynamics to the tracks yet never overshadowing Tyler himself. On 'Who Dat Boy', Tyler and A$AP Rocky take it in perfect turns on the verses, making for a seamless collaboration. Personally, Kali Uchis' vocals on 'See You Again' make for the best guest performance on the record. Her voice juxtaposing againt Tyler's sung vocals gives us a really raw sounding love song. Syd is an interesting vocal omission from Flower Boy considering her presence on Cherry Bomb; instead the only former Odd Future member we hear from is Frank Ocean (on '911/Mr. Lonely' and 'When this Flower Blooms'. Due to my sheer hatred of Lil Wayne, 'Droppin' Seeds' is the only track I don't like on this alum but as it clocks in at a mere 60 seconds I've found just pretending it doesn't exist is a great solution.

I guess what took me by surprise the most about Flower Boy was that I wasn't expecting Tyler, The Creator rapping and singing so openly about normal things that would affect a 26 year old. The state of sheer infatuation with another human being on 'See You Again', the apathy throughout 'Boredom' especially the line "my friends suck, fuck em, I'm over em", and the continued lack of companionship on '911/Mr Lonely'. I think all of these things are really important for young people listening to this album to hear. And I assume lyrically this wasn't just what I wasn't expecting, but not what anybody was really expecting. Hearing Flower Boy and associating that with the fact the maker of this album is fucking banned from the UK is absolutely baffling. It's important to note, though, that Tyler hasn't lost his more eccentric and erratic streak because we still hear that on both 'Who Dat Boy' and 'I Ain't Got Time!'. The contrast of those songs to the self-referential 'November' and 'Glitter' makes for a truly stunning record.

The growth of Tyler and his work throughout his string of studio albums is so clear and impressive. In terms of composition, lyrics and maturity it's genuinely surprising as to why mainstream media don't seem to show him a huge tonne of support. Even so, Tyler proved that he didn't really need it by reaching number 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart and top ten in the UK. The final best thing about this album is that just when you think you're fed up of hearing the songs from it, Tyler goes and switches everything up and every note sounds new again. Most notably his NPR Tiny Desk Concert is beautiful, fun and so enticing from start to finish - a must watch before 2017 is out, and a must repeat as often as you need to, just like Flower Boy itself.

    1. Hi everyone, I will want you take a little time to read this it might be of help to you. How do I recover my crypto from a scammer. The Question is Does/or has anyone been successful with Crypto Scam Recovery? My Answer is Yes, I have successfully recovered my crypto from scammers on two different occasions .my first experience.

      I invested $35,000 worth of crypto. With a forex broker who I met online since I usually see several promos on his page, I felt he was a good one and a reliable one at that. After sending my crypto I felt a little discomfort because I realized how will I just sent such a high amount of money to a total stranger to who I know nothing of or his location, but I felt I wasn't the only one since I have seen several promos of his. So my investment was to last for three weeks firstly Then a possible renewal after my ROI, but three weeks came I expected my money the first day it never came, the second day still nothing and on the third day I reach out to them requesting for my money, but I was told they were having little problem with their sever and I was told to be patient for a week and my ROI would be sent to me, but a week past and few days I reach out to them again and. This time I got no response I tried for several days with no positive reply and eventually I was told to send some more money to my account to enable, which I did, I sent a total amount of $5000 that was what I was asked to do. Immediately again every connection was lost I cant even reach their web page anymore. I told this to a few of my friends and that was when I got the hint that it was a scam. I was highly devastated and confused I didn't know what to do. I went to the cops but they couldn't help because they had no lead on the whereabouts of the case or broker. Then I Went back online to made several research on how to retrieve cryptocurrency because I have heard a lot of times how people recovered their money but I wasn't so sure about that, I know after reading several pages I should have a little knowledge on how to go about that. And I did just that I saw several Recovery agencies and their reviews, but I decided to go for D-HACKER Group Hackers, I wasn’t too sure of them at first about Fund Retrieve, as I was still very scared to fall another victim of Scam, but base on the way people was commenting on there job well done, I decided to be on a safe side by contacting someone who commented, to know if they are real or not. Believe me it still amazes me how they went about it but am just grateful they did. So I'll advise you also to do the same, reach out to them make a formal complaint, don’t hope they will get your job done within the time given by them. and Yes there work price is reasonable, I bet you it worth it. They have helped me recovered both stolen funds from the broker scammers, and I am sure they can help you recover yours too. To save your time go straight by Email dhackersplatform@gmail.com go and get your worried solved

      Note they are not limit to just Recoveries only they can do other hacking stuff as well, as I read many other testimonies on School

  2. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

  5. CAN YOU GET YOUR LOST MONEY BACK?
a hundred percent YES. Victims pose an expressive query. Here’s why you should be aware of the people that help for recovery of funds -Hackerscrib.
LISTEN TO MY STORY. Valuable knowledge and privileges are hard to come by. People have no idea what they haven’t seen. I was the victim of a con. When the conditions are appropriate, people from all walks of life can become victims. I remembered coming across a company website that promised a large return on investment. I was completely convinced. The webpage was excellent, and after much persuasion, I decided to deposit $15,000 USD. I was foolish and ecstatic to believe I may obtain a 200 percent return on my investment the next day. The following day, I sought my profit.
To shorten a long tale short, I GOT TO KNOW I had lost my money because the story told to me was deceptive. I am a police officer whose practice includes evaluating such psychological games. On a good day, I would not have fell for such deception.
After a year, I came across an internet review that directed me to a worldwide hacker from Hackerscrib who employed a hack protocol to track the locations and data of the misleading provenience into their monetary base network. He was able to recoup more than I had. I was perplexed since I had not expected to meet such a guru. I am still filled with joy to this day. I’m going to share something with you.

  7. Hello ladies and Gentlemen, I am Gregg Helen from Chicago, Illinois, I want to share my experience with internet scammers. I lost about USD 85,544.00 to a fake crypto investment scam. They posed as an investment company that could deliver a certain percentage in returns if you deposit your Bitcoin with them. At first, it seemed real, it worked twice. I didn't realize they set up a bot (robot) that will completely shut down your account after you have decided to invest a higher amount. So I couldn't access my crypto account anymore. I contacted customer service and they told me about an unending website upgrade. To cut the long story short, it was a scam and I was able to do research and saw a comment about a similar experience with a bitcoin scam, and how WIZARD WEB RECOVERY help a victim recover back her stolen crypto within 12 hours, I decided to contact them because I was desperately in need of help to get back my life savings. They asked me some questions regarding the investment. I told them and they asked for my bitcoin wallet address, which I provided for them. To my greatest surprise, they helped me recover my invested crypto back. have you been scammed of your Crypto or Bitcoin? Do you need a reliable hacker to help you with anything related to hacking?

  9. HOW I RECOVERED MY FUNDS FROM THE ONLINE SCAMMERS

    What you can accomplish with the correct information is absolutely astounding. I’m sincerely appreciative of CYBERTRACE assistance in locating my cryptocurrency funds in phony investment accounts. When I believed I might make more by investing in cryptocurrencies, unaware that I had been duped, losing $184,000 of my hard-earned money was agonizing and sad. When I was conducting research online and came across testimony about CYBERTRACE I was able to get in touch with CYBERTRACE.
    I discovered that CYBERTRACE had assisted other victims, including myself, in recouping their losses.
    I sincerely appreciate their assistance and praise them for their professionalism and dependability.contact CYBERTRACE via Email:{cybertraceservice@usa.com}

  12. I'm sure I am not the only one who knows the most reliable Recovery Agency. I see a lot of recommendations online and it’s already obvious there are bad eggs online who will only add to your mystery. The best thing that happened to me this month is coming across a reliable Recovery Agency. Geo Coordinates Hacker, a professional hacker and private investigator. I had invested $97,000 into a cryptocurrency platform that turned out to be a scam and I had no idea how to get back my money until someone recommended me to Geo Coordinates Hacker. I contacted them, and they were able to recover everything from these scammers without breaking a sweat. I’m truly grateful and I’m sharing this out there with everyone.

  13. Hello everyone. My name is Ethan Lucas, and I live in Calgary, Canada. I lost a lot of money to a cryptocurrency investment fraud once. I made an investment on a cryptocurrency exchange platform with the most attractive rates I've ever seen. But unfortunately, it did not end well for me. Afterwards, I discovered everything was a scam and my money was lost. I was so down and regrettably, therefore I had to find a means to get my money back at that particular moment. So I informed my friend right away about the incident that happened, and that's how my friend subsequently referred me to (elitewebrecovery@cash4u.com). All thanks to Elite Web Recovery Services. If it weren't for their help, I would have been so down and depressed. Elite Web Recovery is a well-known and highly trusted crypto recovery company. Elite Web Recovery services are specialized organizations that are skilled in recovering stolen digital currencies. However, Elite Web Recovery service was able to recover my stolen funds in less than 48 hours. I was very impressed with how quickly Elite Web Recovery was able to recover my stolen funds. And for that reason, I've decided to share my experience and to recommend their service to anyone here that needs their assistance. (elitewebrecovery@cash4u.com)

  14. I am just so so happy for recovering what i lost to scammers some months ago, i was introduced to a recovery agent by an old friend who i met at Mcdonalds last week, i told her about my whole issue and how i lost all my pension to investment scams which operated under the name financeblock. the recovery agent asked me for some proofs and transaction histories, we had other few briefings through the recovery until we recovered everything i lost under 13 hours, took another 4 hours to get deposited into my personal wallet. It is a very nice feeling to be back on track with the new year.
    I will drop the agents contact just incase anyone here find themselves in similar situation now or tomorrow.
