Unpopdar #1: I'm a fucking walking paradox, no I'm not. TYLER THE CREATOR.

A one album deal. Signed with XL this year. Hilarious really. Like saying "we'll make the money then back the fuck out before the backlash hits".

But regardless, there's no sign that Tyler would ever change what he does for anyone. First single of April 2011's upcoming "Goblin", "Yonkers" even ups his game further. The beat is deliciously offensive, and Tyler runs his mouth worse than ever, and yet there's an unnerving level of genuine venom behind carnivorous lines such as "(I'd) stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus", and more control in his phrasing than before. Tyler is growing up, but he's bringing his anger with him, and each day it mutates further and further into the most perversely beautiful horrorcore.

In fact, there's only so much a naive listener such as myself can try to bullshit. The fact is, this shit is nightmarishly scary, and more thrilling than any hip hop from the last decade, at least that I've heard. "Goblin" will surely be nothing short of fucked up perfection.

And the video is a downright masterpiece of horror.
