For more than an hour, Playboi creates a musical mausoleum that splits the difference between cheesy horror synths and faux-Atari beeps strung together into semi-coherence. The cheesy organ melody of “Vamp Anthem” filled my headphones and this audacious album began to make sense. Then, as I walked outside fuming at the amount of time I’d wasted on a Playboi project on my day off, it hit me. In short, it was in line with most Playboi Carti albums. The long-delayed project was overstuffed, unfocused, filled with streaming bait features, and low on the hits and meme potential that filled his previous work. When Playboi Carti’s third album-or maybe second, who honestly knows-arrived on Christmas Day, it had all the makings of one of the most insufferable projects of the year.

Cole’s Magic Johnson turn, we’re counting down what’s captivated us so far this year. From Olivia Rodrigo’s breakout to Tyler, the Creator’s return to form to J. And he’s so good that his music follows every disguise without losing an ounce of quality.Is the album dead? These 10 projects from the first half of 2021 would argue otherwise. Tyler, the Creator likes to wear a different mask every time. As always Tyler is a volcano of ideas, and each base of the songs hides small and great subtleties, from the tolls of piano to Course to the battery of Lumberjack, up to the sampling of an old jazz piece in hypnotics Hot wind blows, where New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne is a guest.
As often happens to him, the artist plays with his sexuality, freely telling flirts and love stories ( Wilshire for example it is the splendid diary of a relationship with a friend and girlfriend of a friend of his, which also contains references to Tyler’s alleged bisexuality).Ĭall me if you get lost is full of dark beats, produced by the rapper himself together with Dj Drama, who is often by his side at the microphone and makes second voices that give an extra touch old school to the disc. But the theme that dominates Call me if you get lost is the vindication of his successes: the concert at Madison Square Garden, the copies sold, the cars, the bikes. The alter ego chosen by the rapper for this occasion is Tyler Baudelaire, a globetrotter inspired by the French poet Charles Baudelaire. It seems to have returned to its origins, those of the Odd Future collective. The new pieces, on the other hand, are pure rap, sometimes arrogant, like that of Lemonhead. In the previous Igor in fact he had almost moved away from hip hop, getting closer and closer to rnb and neosoul. In Call me if you get lost, his sixth album, has decided to turn the table once again. Californian rapper Tyler, the Creator loves wearing masks and living off contradictions.
