Wolf

Tyler The Creator – Wolf
Released: April 4, 2013 ~ Reviewed: April 2, 2013 (3.5 Stars)

Halfway through the album on my first listen, a thought popped in my head. I am actually listening to an album from Tyler, The Creator. This is the same weird skater dude that does more antics for attention than putting focus on his music. In the last two years, I have heard about how he and the rest of Odd Future are really talented. Except for Franck Ocean and The Internet (Syd tha Kid & Matt Martians), I really paid them no attention. While I have enjoyed Wolf Haley’s production in the past, I have always thought his rhymes were really simple and featured no factual subject matter; just made up stories for shock value: rape, murder, etc. Surprisingly, I actually find myself enjoying a large number of tracks from his album, Wolf. – Short-T (Excerpt from the Tyler, The Creator – Wolf Review)
