Tyler always finds a way to dig up the early 2000s Lil Wayne we knew and loved, and he is in full form on the track. This snippet features rap legend, and former “Best Rapper Alive”, Lil Wayne. The song “Dropping Seeds” should’ve been way longer in my opinion. With Tyler taking a majority of the rhymes, he and the eccentric spawn of Will Smith, divert from the theme of love and self doubt, and spit about the distractions, roadblocks, and potholes (wink, wink) you may see on the road to success. On the track, “Potholes”, Tyler samples the classic Roy Ayers record “Ooh”, and reworks it for our generation of listeners. Although these songs don’t exactly fit the overall theme of the album, they both deserve equal praise. Their vocal harmony is extremely melodic and pleasant to the ear, and paired with Tyler’s amazing production skills, it makes a great song to really vibe out to.Īnother two songs worth an honorable mention were “Potholes” and “Dropping Seeds”. Rex Orange County is singing the hook on this song, with fellow artists Anna of The North and Corinne Bailey Rae. On this track, Tyler illustrates the dangers of the boredom and the loneliness he often feels due to his newfound fame. They have amazing chemistry together and you can hear that in this song, in “Find Your Wings”, and in the second half of “F*cking Young/Perfect”, both from his last album “Cherry Bomb”. Tyler and Kali have been featured in multiple songs together, and all of their tracks seem to have the same exact feel to them. “See You Again”, which features singer Kali Uchis, is a love song in which Tyler sings and raps about the perfect lover that only exists in his imagination, but yet he is tired of chasing and waiting after her. Two songs from the album that fit the overall theme of love, self doubt, and depression, over a soothing instrumental, were “See You Again” and “Boredom”.

This album is something you can listen to after a long, stressful day or during a long drive, opposed to his earlier albums/mixtapes which made you want to rage and punch someone in a mosh pit. “Flower Boy” is an extremely easier listen than his past albums. “Flower Boy” also features artists such as Jaden Smith, Kali Uchis, Frank Ocean, A$AP Rocky, Estelle, and even a guest verse from Lil Wayne, and they all add a very unique sound to their respective songs, and to the album in whole. With that being said, Tyler effortlessly finds a way to rework or remix the samples and add his own creative touch to them to create a masterpiece of an instrumental. Tyler, as seen in the “Cherry Bomb” documentary, prides himself on being able to play a majority of the instruments featured on his albums, yet, this album is much more sample heavy than his past few releases. However, with this recent release, we can see Tyler has really grown, and so has his music.

It seems like after every album he releases, he somehow finds a way to mature as an individual, and as an artist.įor the last eight years, we have known Tyler as the brash, loud, and annoying teenager, with a loyal cult following that would do anything he said, and buy anything with an Odd Future logo on it. The album, originally titled “Scum F*ck Flower Boy”, is Tyler’s fourth major release, and is a testament to his talent. This summer, Tyler, The Creator dropped what he calls his best album yet, “Flower Boy”.
