The song feels like a gentle cruise down a jungle river with Tyler at the helm flexing his opulence, work ethic, and moral compass. Tyler, the Creator’s solo tracks, however, fully express his creativity and more than make up for the shortcomings of “The Estate Sale.” “WHAT A DAY,” for instance, features an old, repurposed Madlib beat that Tyler used to ride his bike to 10 years ago. On paper, Vince Staples and A$AP Rocky features should theoretically uplift an already strong album, however, in reality, they contribute little to nothing and can be shelved towards the back of Bunnyhop’s discography. While the song would indeed be perfect for a sunny stroll down a wharf, its tame lyrics provide little substance. As always, A$AP Rocky adjusts nicely to his companion’s style, but the fact that his verse only consists of eight bars and lasts less than 30 seconds robs fans of a signature moment that could have stood by the likes of “Potato Salad” and “Who Dat Boy.” Akin to the sound of “IGOR,” Tyler pitches up his voice and discusses love and travel to create a lighthearted song that - out of all seven tracks - seems to fit the original sound of CMIYGL the most. “WHARF TALK” sees the reunion of WANG$AP, but barely. While the Neptunes-like production is reminiscent of “Cherry Bomb” and may resonate with fans of Tyler’s more brash style, it leaves much to be desired. “STUNTMAN” comes with a much-anticipated Vince Staples collaboration that falls short of expectations. Within the deluxe, the tracks with features surprisingly are lowlights of the deluxe album. Cover art courtesy of Gregory Ferrandįast forward two years, Tyler has now released “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale,” a deluxe album containing seven new songs which faithfully stick to the leisurely, introspective, and upbeat ambiance of its predecessor, while signaling another highly anticipated era of Tyler. Not only was he able to produce an album that stacked up to the critical acclaim of “Flower Boy” and “IGOR,” Tyler stuck to his quota as an artist to constantly reinvent and innovate: a boastful, rap-heavy yet mellow album, CMIYGL is retrospectively one of 2021’s most memorable drops. For the release of his sixth studio album “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST” ( CMIYGL) in 2021, Tyler, The Creator donned the persona of Tyler Baudelaire to deliver an outstanding project that solidified one of hip-hop’s most impressive three-album runs in recent history.
