But as messy as it is, it may well be one of Okonma’s strongest tracks yet. Sometimes things threaten to topple over into complete anarchy album closer Keep Da O’s is so overstuffed that it’s impossible to fully appreciate on first listen. This is music crafted with care, even if its sole purpose is to appear careless. The staunch oddness of the brilliant, anthemic Buffalo never feels artificial. Sure, the work is as mad as a sack of frogs, but one never gets the sense that it was constructed with a tongue-in-cheek, ironic remove.
It’s a romp of a record, and, perversely, even its sloppiness manages to add to its appeal.Ĭuriously, even though the album features tracks as bizarre as the minute long Run, Cherry Bomb might be Okonma’s most sincere release yet. Cherry Bomb, his fourth studio album, is no different. It’s anarchic stuff, but it never becomes overly serious or considered the man’s releases have always been marked out by how essentially enjoyable they are. The music of Tyler The Creator (real name: Tyler Okonma) is the music of a prankster engaged in a distinctly flippant form of rebellion.
