What we said:
After shocking millions with his deeply unsettling, self-directed ‘
Yonkers’ video, 20-year-old
Tyler, The Creator has returned with the incendiary
Goblin, an album guaranteed to land a knock-out blow on the face of anyone claiming that hip hop is too safe nowadays. Combining sparse beats with subterranean basslines, the gravel-voiced ringleader of LA alt-hip hop collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All takes us on a brilliantly spleen-filled, expletive-laden journey through his blackest nightmares. Like
Eminem before him, this one will be inflaming censors and exciting music fans in equal measure.
