Tyler, The Creator

Few rappers from the last decade have been trickier to pin down than Tyler, The Creator, the figurehead of the Los Angeles hip-hop collective Odd Future and also its most difficult artist. On a series of compelling but difficult albums, Tyler lashed out at the world, often in vulgar, homophobic terms. But his latest album Flower Boy adds another ripple to his image: Many fans and critics read the album as Tyler’s way of coming out as gay or bisexual, a reading he hasn’t explicitly confirmed or denied. Whether that absolves him in the eyes of listeners offended by his previous work remains to be seen, but it’s one of his strongest albums, and features some inspired guest spots from Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky and Frank Ocean. On this tour he’s joined by Vince Staples, a rapper loosely associated with Odd Future who released one of the most compelling albums of 2016 with his Def Jam debut Summer ’06, a complicated, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City-esque account of growing up amid the background of drugs, gangs and violence. He followed it up last year with a more overtly arty, electronic album, Big Fish Theory.
