" Who Dat Boy" was rejected by rapper Schoolboy Q. "See You Again" was written for former One Direction member Zayn Malik but was later kept after Malik rejected the song twice. "Glitter" was written for Justin Bieber Tyler kept it after Bieber did not return any of his calls. After West declined it, the beat was sent to rapper Nicki Minaj who, after a month, also turned it down. The beat used on the song "I Ain't Got Time!" was initially made for Kanye West during recording sessions for West's seventh studio album The Life of Pablo. Many songs on the album featured guitar playing by Austin Feinstein. He decided to keep his rap verses short and to-the-point to give guest artists and instrumentation more of a focal point.

Let me show you why.Flower Boy (alternatively titled Scum Fuck Flower Boy) is the fourth studio album by American rapper Tyler, the Creator. I excitedly opened it up, gazed at the inner pages for a few seconds, and then started laughing my ass off. Two weeks later and the vinyl had arrived. After being extremely impressed by the detailed beauty of both the album cover and the music itself, I couldn’t wait to hold this physical copy in my hands and check out the rest of Tyler’s album art for myself. In fact, I enjoyed Tyler’s hard work much that I decided to support him by getting the album’s vinyl. Just like each of his prior albums including Cherry Bomb and Wolf, Flower Boy was self-produced by Tyler from top to bottom. Every time I listen through the project again I pick up on a new favorite song from the bunch. But one quick look inside the vinyl assures us that Tyler is still the same old fuck boy that ate a roach back in his Odd Future days – and I couldn’t be more glad.įlower Boy is an excellent album filled with instant classics and hidden gems.
