Close runner up, though, is that obnoxiously titled ScHoolBoy Q collab from Cherry Bomb. I canвЂ™t help but do my best/worst dance when it drops. The beat is so fun and windows-down, and the bass unapologetically THUMPS. ItвЂ™s got a beautiful and immediately catchy hook from Frank Ocean, and I often find myself randomly saying вЂњI rock, I roll, I shine, I glow I GLOWвЂќ to myself. This song reeks of Big Single Energy (am I cool yet?). Name a Tyler album cut that should have been a single. I have no idea why heвЂ™s so angry about lettuce at the end of the song but itвЂ™s Tyler, who knows. HeвЂ™s just a ball of kinetic energy here, spitting absolute madness over a hyperactive track that seems plucked from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Well, since you mentioned it, this is MY favorite version of Tyler. And it kicks off Cherry Bomb with an incredibly strong energy that none of his other album intros have had (except maybe вЂњIGORвЂ™S THEMEвЂќ). HeвЂ™s channeling that N*E*R*D spirit that he loves so much, and he does it well itвЂ™s a little bit aggressive, a little bit goofy, and a lotta bit hard. On the surface вЂњSheвЂќ is the kind of crass material that would bury his career in a mountain of think pieces today but itвЂ™s the artistry and nuance that hooked me. So when Tyler dropped вЂњSheвЂќ as his next single, I paid much closer attention than immediately writing him off as some bug-eating shock rapper. But once I got past the roach eating, I recognized that he was actually a pretty solid rapper. Circa 2011, IвЂ™d spend my mornings in the gym being completely grossed out by TylerвЂ™s вЂњYonkersвЂќ video.

I mean, I guess they could be still playing them today but I have no idea вЂ“ these days I only frequent MTV when I wanna watch the buffoonery that is Catfish. Believe it or not, there was a time in the early 2010s where MTV still played music videos on the regular. Great pick, I love both that song and The R.E.D. Game tried too hard to beat Tyler at his own game (pun intended), and I wish LilвЂ™ Wayne had a verse, but Tyler made this song worth it. Album, and his verse (and appearance in the video, letвЂ™s be honest) won me over. WhatвЂ™s the first song that made you a fan of Tyler, the Creator?Д«efore this song, I had seen the вЂњYonkersвЂќ video and was disgusted I was also (regrettably) a fan of Hopsin, who had dissed Tyler several times, so I had no interest in listening to him. That chaos really holds him back here, an album that boasts a few good tracks but man, you gotta plod through some clunkers to find them. As I mentioned earlier, TylerвЂ™s greatest charm and biggest drawback is that heвЂ™s just all over the place. YouвЂ™ll get no flak from me playa, when youвЂ™re right youвЂ™re right.
