(GEMS RADIO)—Tyler, the Creator admits that his first album was not good, but did get a warm reception from crowds.
He visited the Rap Radar Podcast and had much to say.
“Goblin is fucking terrible,” the rapper admits. “But I still love it. It’s an energy and an aura that it has. And hearing my wonky synths, and gross drums, and me not realizing I’m yelling on every song and saying the most wild shit is what got people there. It’s not about the music. If you were there, that energy and that aura and that air just cutting through what everyone else is doing is so important.”
“It’s still some ones on there. I still think, ‘Yonkers,’ is awesome. ‘She’ is awesome. The first two versions of ‘Nightmare’ is ill, ‘Tron Cat’ is still awesome. ‘Analog’ is still cool, like there’s still a few things on there but people don’t know like, a lot of songs on that album were just like, random songs I recorded after Goblin that we kinda just, yeah here I got these songs.”
The album broke boundaries when it was released, but Tyler says it wasn’t his best.
