That's not to say that the depraved individual we all know so well is completely gone though- there's plenty of typical OF tunes to go around in the shape of ''Rusty'', containing what is probably Tyler's best verse on the album, a flowing attack aimed directly at his critics, while ''Domo23'' makes for an obvious lead single, and could easily be joined by potential releases ''Jamba'' and ''Cowboy'', both of which make for a strong start to the record. Speaking of vocals, ''Awkward'' must be heard to be believed as Tyler croons ''you're my girlfriend, you're my girl'' over the outro, a shocking admission from the controversial artist for exactly the opposite reasons that made him such a polarizing figure previously. The results of this are most profitable on tracks like ''Answer'', a melodic, accessible indie rap song, the like of which was first hinted at with ''Inglorious'' on Bastard, and ''Slater'' through it's use of strings and Frank Ocean's always welcome gorgeous guest vocal.

His first four solo albums, namely Goblin (2011), Wolf (2013), Cherry Bomb (2015), and Flower Boy (2017), debuted within the Top Five of the Billboard. As a solo artist, Tyler's output has gleefully swung from purposefully distasteful and crude to charming and sophisticated, sometimes blurring the distinction between the extremes. 2 (2012), and Frank Ocean's Grammy-winning Channel Orange (2012), have been made with Tyler's deep involvement. A high percentage of these recordings, including Earl Sweatshirt's Earl (2010), Odd Future's The OF Tape, Vol. The rapper and producer surfaced as a founding member of Odd Future, an outlandish alternative rap crew that gradually permeated the mainstream as it begat a multitude of related projects.
