For years he saw himself as an outsider - “I never fully felt accepted in rap,” he said in his speech at the Grammys - and so he and the rest of Odd Future built a kind of parallel universe complete with clothing lines, TV shows and L.A.’s annual Camp Flog Gnaw music festival. Tyler Gregory Okonma was born on 6th March in 1991 at Ladera Heights in California. It’s not uncommon to call one of your female friends a hoe but not in a bad way and we can hear the other person. I’m pretty sure it was just one of his moms friends or a family member. “Call Me If You Get Lost,” which is forecast to top next week’s album chart, also reframes Tyler’s relationship with the hip-hop mainstream. I mean he says later on 'I let you meet my momma and y'all got along', and his mom says 'You better tell this ho ' on the song itself. In its blend of the spectacular and the hyper-personal, the result can recall “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” by one of Tyler’s heroes, Kanye West. Splashy cameos from Pharrell, Lil Wayne and Lil Uzi Vert further broaden the disc’s stylistic scope even as Tyler invites the listener deep into the private space of a song like “Manifesto,” in which he ponders his old antics (including a bunch of creepy tweets he sent to Selena Gomez) and frets over whether he’s “doing enough or not doing enough” to advance the cause of racial justice. And though Tyler produced all the songs himself - a rarity among rappers - the music covers a huge amount of ground, moving from the creamy R&B of “Wusyaname” to the trippy soul-jazz of “Hot Wind Blows” to the grimy boom-bap of “Lumberjack,” which in classic mixtape form more or less cribs the beat from an existing track, in this case the Gravediggaz’s mid-’90s “2 Cups of Blood.”
