Though it was Bastard that helped cultivate the loyal and dedicated following that grew alongside Tyler in his career, it was Goblin that made him a household name. The debut album from Tyler, The Creator became one of the most praised albums of 2011. Fast forward 10 years and Tyler, The Creator is on a whole other level in his career. He hit social media today to reflect on the album’s release a decade later. “you had to be there, the air was different,” he tweeted. “yonk she troncat analog au79 das it dem still good.”
