Tyler, The Creator - Yonkers: Single - Review

9.7/10. Tyler, The Creator. Loved by many, hated by an equal amount. I personally love the man, and OFWGKTA as a whole. I figured the first Odd Future review I write should be the big hit of the group, Tylers Yonkers. If you haven't seen the video I recommend you stop reading and watch it right now, it's pretty amazing. The song begins with an eerie beat as Tyler's trademark deepened voice growls 'Um, Wolf Haley, Golf Wang', and Tyler begins with 'I'm a f-ckin' walking paradox, no I'm not', a line that sets the tone for the whole song, unbelievably complex lyrics full of hidden meanings and paradoxes contradicting each other. That's pretty impressive. Yonkers has no chorus, just the so called Wolf Haley repeating 'Um, Wolf Haley, Um, Golf Wang' a few times. Second verse begins with Tyler making stabs at Jesus ('Jesus called he said he's sick of the disses, I told him to quit bitch this isn't a f-cking hotline'), referencing the Virginia Tech and Columbine massacres in the same line as rapping about going home to watch cartoon Adventure Time. The song then takes a turn for the eerie-er (is that a word?) when his voice gets deeper, the beat changes, and he talks about crashing that airplane that B.o.B is in (A reference to his hit 'Airplanes' featuring Hayley Williams, who is mentioned in the previous line) and stabbing Bruno Mars in his 'Goddamn Oesophagus' and not stopping 'till the cops come in'. At 3 minutes 5 seconds long your left wanting more, but thankfully the album version has an extra verse. In my opinion, video of the year, in the running for song of the year. Monumental, yet unbelievably chilling. Odd Future are going to take over the world.
