Even while many at the time thought that Tyler, The Creator’s debut album Goblin was a groundbreaking work, he has said that it wasn’t his best work.
Tyler commented on his perspective as a 20-year-old who was committed to making a splash in the music industry with his first project during a protracted interview with the Rap Radar Podcast.
The rapper Igor declares, “Goblin is fucking terrible. However, I still adore it. It has an aura and an energy about it. People came to see me because they liked my clunky synths, yelled on every song without realizing it, and had ugly drumming. The music is not the focus. If you were there, you would understand how crucial it is for that air, aura, and energy to simply pierce through what everyone else was doing.
It still has some people on it, he continued. The movie “Yonkers” continues to impress me. She is amazing. ‘Nightmare’s’ first two iterations are terrible, but ‘Tron Cat’ is still fantastic. People don’t realize that many of the tracks on “Analog” were just like, random tunes I recorded after Goblin that we kind of just, well here I have these songs, but the album is still great and there are still a few things on it.
Goblin received a 4 out of 5 rating from HipHopDX at the time of its debut in 2011.
In addition to performing music, the Grammy Award-winning singer told a hilarious anecdote about how one of his “top four” coolest professional moments was almost wrecked when Diddy’s son tried to flex next to Tyler’s BMW on Instagram.
Tyler, The Creator made the decision to share a humorous anecdote about his experience at JAY-Z’s Roc Nation Brunch in February as Rap Radar’s episode came to a close.
I attended the ‘illest’ portion of the Roc Nation Brunch for three reasons. Tyler stated, “I’ve always wanted to go because I’ve never been. “Secondly, I was interested in the meals they offered. Third, I wanted to test my ability to be referred to as “king” repeatedly. Nine, I determined.
