Tyler, the Creator Shares His Favorite 'Flower Boy' Moments on ... (Complex)

Tyler reflected on the Grammy-nominated project on its fifth anniversary: ”'Flower Boy' changed everything for me, thank you all for your ear.”

Critics praised the album for its production, which was entirely handled by Tyler, as well as its unique exploration of themes like depression, love, isolation, and self-discovery. Flower Boy consisted of 14 tracks with guest appearances by Frank Ocean, ASAP Rocky, Steve Lacy, Jaden Smith, Rex Orange County, and more. Tyler’s other favorite moments included the music at the beginning of “Pothole’s” second verse; the bridge on the Estelle-assisted “Garden Shed”; the second half of “I Ain’t Got Time!”; and the harmonies in “Glitter.”

Tyler The Creator Explains How 'Flower Boy' 'Changed Everything ... (UPROXX)

Up until the release of Tyler's fourth studio album, he was still considered an underdog.

“flower boy changed everything for me, thank you all for your ears.” flower boy changed everything for me, thank you all for your ears. A lot of that is owed to the stylistic switch he made on Flower Boy; shedding his abrasive, foul-mouthed shock-rapper persona, Tyler leaned into more melodic production sensibilities and confessional songwriting — a gamble that surely paid off with more mainstream acceptance after his early material made the industry establishment keep him at arm’s length.
