TYLER GREGORY OKONMA

Tyler the Creator, however is an exception. While listening to his discography, you can make out his growth as a person and artist. The boy that sparked headlines with controversial lyrics in his Odd Future days now shows his progress with the victory lap that is CMIYGL.

What impressed me the most was his sampling which was reminiscent of Kanye West with his ability to place the right artist at the right moment to create a masterpiece. He even went above and beyond to make an 8 minute song feel like an ethereal experience with a reggae segment that caught me unawares.
