DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS: The Albums, 2011.


11/Tyler the Creator/GOBLIN

Welcome to Pee Wee's Playhouse. Where Tyler Okonma becomes Tyler the Cre-A-Ture, GOBLIN. A "19 year old fucking emotional coaster with pipe dreams" holding court with himself. GOBLIN operates like a prized sketchbook left open for all to see. The scribblings and obsessions of a sharp, focused young man getting older in a world that ain't getting much easier. A highly cerebral affair in which Tyler gives himself the space needed to vent, talk shit, and just create. Left to his own devices, Tyler conjures up a brash and vivid long player from a headspace that knows no limits. That he wraps it all in a haunting, almost eerie Neptunes like soundscape is just icing on the cake. Another clever and well done sketch on the page and look inside the mind of this creature they call Tyler the Creator.
