Tyler, The Creator - Wolf (2013)

[Eladio wutanghiddenmember]

Wolf is the upcoming third studio album by Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator. The album is scheduled to be released on April 2, 2013, by Odd Future Records and RED Distribution under Sony Music Entertainment. Wolf is a set in a different direction compared to his first two albums. Bastard and Goblin respectively featured more violent content, while this album will feature a more production based sound and different themes. The album will feature guest appearances by Frank Ocean, Mike G, Domo Genesis, Left Brain, Hodgy Beats, Pharrel, Dave Matthews, Casey Veggies and Erykah Badu. The album is produced solely by Tyler, The Creator.

Tyler first mentioned the album in early 2010 saying that he would have an album titled Wolf. In early 2011 he told fans through his Formspring and Twitter that his third album would be called Wolf and it is scheduled to be released in May 2012. On May 10th, also on Formspring, Tyler said that it would be changed to the end of summer of 2012. In an interview with MTV he said the third album of the trilogy started with Bastard would not be Wolf.[2]

In August 2011, Tyler said that the album will be more focused on beats and have less rapping.[3] He has said that on the album he will try to make music similar to his current interests, which he has said do not contain rapping. Tyler has also mentioned that the album's sound will be similar to the hip-hop/neo-jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, who he has collaborated with a few times. In an interview with DJ Semtex, he confirmed that he will handle all the production on the album, except one song produced by Left Brain.[4] This was how the production on Goblin was dealt with. In another post on Formspring, he said that Wolf will only have a few rap songs, while focusing mainly on production.[5]

In an interview with SPIN magazine, Tyler expressed wanting to shift away from the themes of his previous albums stating,

"Talking about rape and cutting bodies up, it just doesn't interest me anymore... What interests me is making weird hippie music for people to get high to. With Wolf, I'll brag a little more, talk about money and buying shit. But not like any other rapper, I'll be a smart-ass about it. People who wanted the first album again, I can't do that. I was 18, broke as fuck. On my third album, I have money and I'm hanging out with my idols. I can't rap about the same shit."[6]

On November 16, Tyler returned to the studio for the first time since the 2011 Wolf Gang Tour began in September.[7] He also said that he would like the album to be released in May 2012;[8] however, he later said on his Formspring that while he's trying to release the album in May, stating that it's perfect Summer music, he wouldn't be able to.[9] In May 2012, Tyler confirmed on Formspring that he had officially begun work on the album and that it will be released before the end of Summer 2012. However, it was later announced that the album is due to release in November.[10]

On October 1, he confirmed Earl Sweatshirt would be featured on the album.[11] The album will also feature guest appearances by Odd Future members Frank Ocean, Mike G, Domo Genesis, Left Brain, L-Boy, Taco, Jasper and Hodgy Beats among other artists such as Pharrel, former Odd Future member Casey Veggies Lætitia Sadier and Erykah Badu.[12] The album features 18 songs and is solely self produced by Tyler, The Creator.

On February 14, 2013, OFWGKTA uploaded a video to their YouTube account, which includes L-Boy skydiving and stating that Wolf will be released on April 2, 2013. The same day Tyler would reveal the three album covers via his Instagram.[15] The deluxe version of the album features a fold-out poster of the full album cover art designed by Mark Ryden, a limited embroidered patch, a "Wolf" calendar and a 24-page booklet featuring lyrics and artwork.[15]

Starting March 11, 2013 through April 11 Tyler will tour North America and Europe on the Wolf Tour. This leg of the tour is his first solo tour without his group Odd Future. His first stop was Boulder, Colorado and the Wolf release party will take place Los Angeles on the release day.[16] He later announced he would extend the tour April 30 through May 18, 2013. These shows take place on the west coast of the United States and all will feature his Odd Future cohort, Earl Sweatshirt.

Tyler, the Creator
Wolf

by Jesse Fairfax

"Wolf" finds Tyler, the Creator successfully and artfully juggling his following's expectations with his personal growth.

One of today's most polarizing stars, Tyler, the Creator has maximized the Internet's potential and taken his Odd Future brand from hanging out in Los Angeles’ Fairfax District to what has become a global sensation. Endeared and despised as a musician, emcee and rebellious miscreant, his combination of creative talent and attention seeking showmanship has kept Hip Hop debating whether he’s a passing phase with little substance. Out to extend what pessimists consider a lucky run of success, Tyler's sophomore retail release Wolf has arrived to an audience equally stoked, skeptical and altogether curious.

No longer reliant on shock value to carry him, Tyler, the Creator has thrown a series of curveballs putting his craft first and foremost with Wolf. The album follows the story of its lead character shunned at music camp for being different (a theme reflecting Tyler’s struggle to be taken serious in Rap), ultimately winning the favor of his nemesis Sam’s girlfriend Salem. Similar to a stage play of sorts, Tyler makes songs from the perspectives of both Wolf and Sam, perhaps tying both to different parts of his bizarre artistic personality.

Greatly influenced by The Neptunes and their experimental N.E.R.D. outfit, Wolf spares nothing in paying homage. Most blatantly, the alternative “Answer” continues the long running stretch of angst towards his absentee father, while “Awkward” and the bridge between each verse on “Jamba” also give honor to his heroes. A sure highlight of his relatively short career, Tyler, the Creator snags Pharrell himself to appear on “IFHY,” an ode to a dysfunctional relationship.

Covering a wide gamut of topics, Tyler’s gift and curse is his ambition. With “48,” he strays from his narrative to tackle the negative effects of drug dealing, a worthwhile idea that he doesn’t fully flesh out. Better executions, “Pigs” explains how bullied teens turn murderous and “Colossus” is a plea for privacy when out in public, holding a mirror up to his overzealous fandom. Here he says, “I’m sick of hearing ‘bout Yonkers / I’m grateful that it worked, I attacked and I conquered.” The only overt attempt at pleasing this same rabid fan base is Wolf’s lead single “Domo23,” a conflicted sign that shows consideration for his younger crowd. At the risk of confusing these earliest adapters who once clung to violent shtick, the friendly extended interlude “Party Isn’t Over/Campfire,” “Treehome95” [featuring Coco of Quadron and Erykah Badu] and “Lone” are avant-garde moments that will impress the most serious doubters.

Using Wolf as a platform to let his imagination run wild while remaining accessible, Tyler, the Creator displays maturation on his own twisted terms. “Rusty” takes time to address social critique as he raps, “Look at that article that says my subject matter is wrong / Saying I hate gays even though Frank is on 10 of my songs...” and reminds that he’s an individual in the same verse with “These fucking rappers got stylists cause they can’t think for themselves / See they don’t have an identity, so they needed some help...” In all, Tyler is now juggling his following’s expectations with his personal growth, having transformed from a teen cult figure into a self-made visionary.
