The distorted 808s are a reoccurring problem on the track PILOT. On the title track CHERRY BOMB, its over mixed, distorted 808 hits that compromise the songs listen-ability. The content of the rap song goes with the notion that the songs a joke, with Tyler satirizing rap with his lyrics by conforming to a certain style.Ī lot of tracks like KEEP DA O’s are mixed terribly. On KEEP DA O’s Tyler produces a beat that is mixed pretty poorly (purposely it seems) with a cheesy synth line that you would think to be found in a rap song from 2009. The beat however is exciting and is centered on a guitar riff that would usually be far from rap music. With the hook literally saying that he doesn’t like following the rules.
On the first track entitled DEATHCAMP, Tyler starts off with lines about how he doesn’t follows some rules, an annoying push of his ways of not caring. The explicit and politically incorrect material seems as a push to guarantee an album that his cult like following will like and enjoy. One part of the album is redundant, with his offensive material getting old as the rapper fails to mature, as he grows older musically. Many perceived him as anew artist who struck controversy and was very exciting to watch.Ĥ years and 3 albums later, Tyler delivers and album that’s in a grey area of disappointment and proactivity. Tyler was one of the pioneers of this movement and his music was refreshing, a new brand of alternative rap to take it out of what some may see as a dark age. As part of a new generation of independent artist who have made into the main stream musically due to low barriers of entry. At this point of Tyler’s career, his music has become his brand as he represents many different mediums, whether it’s on his sketch comedy show, or his music video directing. With his overly offense lyrics that have become part of his brand, or his gritty production style that sometimes meets many different genres. The 24-year-old MC comes through with an album constant with previous releases stylistically.
Released in a style very trendy these days as a ghost release with a week’s notice, Cherry Bomb is a representative album of Tyler’s most pure form.
