It talks about his rap group, his absence of a real father, as well as how he felt about people and himself, all while supposedly being in a school therapy session for bad behavior. That song mentioned on the track Colossus(which told the story of an interaction between a fan at Six Flags that turned weird fast), had the rawest emotion put into one of his tracks. This album solidified Tyler’s place in the music industry as an amazing artist with a downright unique and well put together style. For the rest of the album, it follows in dark footsteps. This presents itself as a love song, which is almost nullified by the next track Trannsylvania where Tyler assumes the role of Dracula while using his lyricism in another offensive way to get his point across, the same way he does in Nightmare. It’s also presented on She which is a more R&B song featuring his long time friend, Frank Ocean. Radicals follows with what’s a seemingly aggressive song, until the breaks in between verses which plays Tyler talking about the group Odd Future and how their reason for the group is “We came together because we ain’t have nobody else”, which is almost a relief that a more peaceful version of himself is presented here. After this track plays, which is arguably one of the darkest songs in terms of meaning, where he presents violent thoughts and a flurry of offensive lines while effortlessly gliding over the instrumental.
This is presented in the self titled opening track, which has another voice talking to Wolf which kickstarts the song along with a platter of what is to be expected. While this is kept in mind, the album holds almost a storyline which at first circles around Wolf himself. The entire album, in the words of Tyler himself, is mostly from a personality named Wolf Haley, which is supposed to be a gritty cool guy that Tyler always wanted to be. Released as the first album out of a total of five in 2011, Goblin is the creation of Tyler’s dark, violent thoughts. Before making assumptions about Tyler’s thoughts, it is important to try to analyze what he thinks through the discography of albums he put out himself, starting with the first album: Goblin. The song was written, performed, as well as being directed solely by Tyler himself, which showcased the sheer amount of talent and creativity locked inside of his head. While the music made with this group was amazing and showed what his talent was, it wasn’t until the single Yonkers was released that he would gain more traction within music. Originally associated with the rap group OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All), Tyler rapped with artists who were his friends, such as Mike G, Earl Sweatshirt, and Frank Ocean. Tyler Okonma is an extremely versatile musician, songwriter, and director.
