Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale

Tyler, The Creator Says “Stuntman” Is Not A Kanye Diss

by

Tyler, The Creator dropped Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale at the end of March. The Estate Sale serves as a post-album EP to Tyler’s 2021 Call Me If You Get Lost, which spent one week at #1 in July 2021. The Estate Sale adds a bunch of new tracks to the well-received album but “Stuntman” has had fans speculating ever since it was released.

“Stuntman”‘s last verse in particular has gotten a lot of attention. Many fans believe that the lengthy verse, performed alongside DJ Drama, is a direct call-out of Kanye West. References to meds, hoes, and hypocrisy all helped build to the conclusion that verse was a subtle diss of Ye.

“Stuntman” Verse Not About Kanye

Appearing on RapRadar, the rapper hit back at these claims. “I’ve seen fans saying on the last verse of ‘Stuntman,’ people were like, ‘Oh, he’s talking about Kanye!’” he said. “And I’m like, ‘You guys are fucking stupid and have terrible comprehension skills.’ I would never disrespect — like, no, I love that n-gga. That is not about him. It’s actually about the rest of the world. “When I say, ‘Wipe your feet on that door mat before you speak.’ Again, people just being hypocrites. And I say, ‘How you tell us that you real but you stay off the meds.’ By ‘stay off the meds’ I mean people be out here on every drug in the world talking about they a real n-gga and they one hundred. And it’s like, ‘That’s a lie. You’re drugged up right now. You sound stupid.’

“And then I say, ‘How you call that girl a ho but got 10 baby mommas.’ I hate the double standard people have on grown women having sex and being a fucking adult, that shit is weird. And n-ggas be out here having kids that they don’t even take care of and fucking everything, but have the nerve to call someone a [ho]. N-ggas sound stupid. In fact, Tyler breaks down every single line of the verse to explain how literally none of it is about Kanye. The full clip is well worth a watch.

Tyler The Creator’s Jet-Setting ‘Hot Wind Blows’ Video Relives His World Travels

by

For the past week, Tyler The Creator has been sharing videos from the deluxe edition of his Grammy-winning 2021 album Call Me If You Get Lost. For the latest release, though, he takes it back to the original, sharing a jet-setting video for the Lil Wayne-featuring sixth track, “Hot Wind Blows.”

As befits the lofty, luxurious subject matter of the track, the video is constructed of clips from T’s travels, meticulously edited to maintain the continuity of his raps from location to location while also showing off his breezy lifestyle. Tyler and his Odd Future pals visit exotic European locations, where they hike verdant forests and take relaxing yacht rides on glittering lakes. If Tyler’s living his best life, he makes it look even better.

In the run-up to the release of Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale, Tyler dropped videos for “Dogtooth,” “Sorry Not Sorry,” “Wharf Talk,” and “Heaven To Me,” all new songs appearing on the deluxe release that were recorded during the original sessions for the album but ultimately cut for various reasons. And although the release of a video for an original album track would suggest he’s emptied the clip, here’s hoping that he has one more left for “Stuntman,” his long-awaited reunion with Odd Future affiliate Vince Staples.

Watch the “Hot Wind Blows” video above.

Tyler The Creator Shares His Dream Life In His One-Take ‘Heaven To Me’ Video

by

Tyler The Creator‘s latest video from Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale is a laid-back, stripped-down affair. Much like its song, “Heaven To Me,” the video is a one-take shot that sees Tyler rapping the lyrics from the unreleased track in his home studio before taking a walk outside — while he keeps rapping — to enjoy the sunshine, one of the themes of the reflective lyrics.

The song finds Tyler rhyming over the Kanye West-produced beat from John Legend’s 2006 single “Heaven.” In the first verse, he takes stock of his current blessings, and although he certainly has a few luxury items to flex, he seems to be appreciating the simple things as well. “We nappin’ in parks, we in the sun gettin’ darked up,” he grins.

The second verse is a hopeful look at T’s future, with a wife and a son, a big backyard, a yacht on the dock, and a helicopter to fly his mom in. But still, his number-one hope is something more elusive: “That’s really heaven at forty,” he asserts. “N****, havin’ good health.” The third verse is a nostalgic rumination of the things that made Ty happy in the past, such as “Peglegs, Ice Cream shoes, the Mr. Krabs watch,” but when he stumbles over the flow, he just keeps it going, showing that the fun is as much in the process as the product.

“Heaven To Me” is Tyler’s fourth video from the deluxe version of his Grammy-winning 2021 album, following “Dogtooth,” “Sorry Not Sorry,” and “Wharf Talk.”

Tyler The Creator Goes On A Solo(?) Date In His ‘Wharf Talk’ Video With ASAP Rocky

by

On Tyler The Creator’s deluxe edition of Call Me If You Get Lost, subtitled The Estate Sale, the former demon child enters what Pitchfork is calling his “Munch era,” embracing the freedom and sincerity of falling in love on previously unreleased tracks like “Dogtooth” and “Sorry Not Sorry.” Honestly, it’s a good look on him, cementing his evolution from a talented but obnoxious enfant terrible to a dapper, forthright artiste.

His latest video from the release, “Wharf Talk,” keeps the good vibes flowing. On this one, Tyler’s in full loverboy mode, singing plaintively about how much he wants to spend time with this special lady over what sounds very much like some classic Neptunes production. When Tyler’s good friend ASAP Rocky shows up for a good, old-fashioned rap bridge — man, remember those? — he too sounds transformed by the affections of a good woman. It’s genuinely endearing and inspirational to see our boys really grow up. They’ve come a long way.

The video’s pretty clever, too, messing with the viewer’s perception as Tyler goes on a series of what appear to be solo dates: a picnic in the park, a day trip to the beach, and more. However, a bike ride through nature throws off this reading when one of the bikes propels itself — is Tyler dating The Invisible Woman, or what? (There’s some nifty commentary about how this makes his “keeping it low-key” approach to his relationship visual, but it’s also just fun to see him toasting what appears to be nobody.)

Tyler The Creator’s Brutally Honest ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ Video Buries His Old Personas

by

In typical Tyler The Creator fashion, the musician has a lot to get off of his chest, and his latest single, “Sorry Not Sorry,” is the perfect outlet. Although the “Dogtooth” rapper doesn’t have any children of his own (just yet), the creative liberties he’s taken in his music as birthed a movement currently inspiring others.

That limitless ideal shines bright in the self-directed visual for “Sorry Not Sorry,” the second track released off his forthcoming Call Me If You Get Lost deluxe album. In the retrospective video, Tyler lets his apologies fly, rapping, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I don’t see you more / I’m sorry that the four minutes where you see your son could feel like a chore / Sis’, I’m sorry I’m your kin / Sorry we ain’t close as we should’ve been / Sorry to my old friends / The stories we could’a wrote if our egos didn’t take the pen.”

However, the one thing he isn’t sorry for is allowing his music to change with him as he’s navigated through these emotional landmines. In the video, Tyler steps back into each of his old personas respective to each project he’s released, to paint just how much internal conflict he’s dealt with.

By the end of the visual, the musician makes it clear that although the track will be featured on the deluxe version of his Grammy Award-winning album, fans shouldn’t get comfortable with this sound. Tyler is planning to transition to another era of his art very soon as he is now yet another version of himself.

When discussing the deluxe album on Twitter, the recording artist wrote, “Call Me If You Get Lost was the first album I made with a lot of songs that didn’t make the final cut. Some of those songs I really love, and knew they would never see the light of day, so Ive decided to put a few of them out.”
