This is a true masterpiece, Tyler never fails to not only touch us deep, but create something that isn’t similar to any other artist. He’s a true genius.
Been listening to Tyler since the 5th grade too. I’m 23 now, and witnessing his growth from 2010 to now makes me feel so proud see him evolve as a man, and a musician . Dude is a true winner
As a Tyler fan since bastard, words can’t explain the way this video makes me feel. I think it’s safe to say it’s his best video yet. He hasn’t stopped progressing as an artist and I’m so proud of this man
@Salem Dion he is aggressive, all of these albums point out a certain time in his life. “Goblin Tyler” was aggressive & had zero f**ks to give. And “Baudelaire Tyler” is his current self that is battling between doing what’s right & living the lifestyle he wanted so much & still does. Then there’s “Shirtless Tyler” which is his true self in raw form that appears to be willing to kill off his counterparts to start over. At least that’s what I took from this 😭
The transitions from Ace, to bastard, to goblin to wolf, to igor and call me if you get lost is truly beautiful, tyler never fails to touch us deeply with his music

I love how he not only incorporated his past selves in the video, but you can hear in it the lyrics. The edgier rap in the goblin verses, it’s all there. Tyler once again reminding us how far he’s come
This is the best music video Tyler's ever made. The Storytelling, lyrics, and references to all of his albums are absolutely amazing. Never fails to push the boundaries of his own creativity.
@Jojottv Gamer cannot agree with anything you just said, pure absurd to me. Tyler is mainstream wince 2015 so wtf are you talking about. "Every album is different genre of music" haha bro you don't know what music genre is. They are all the same, rap with some R&B moments. All the beats sound the same, all his flows are the same. So what are you even talking about bruh... X's music got just much more soul and emotions to it, Tyler's music seems kinda empty and emotionless, except a few songs of course.
@halo halo x songs are repetitive just constantly screaming or the same sad depressing stuff, all Tyler the creator album have different genre of music and different musical flow so what are you even talking about, X is not more versatile than Tyler the creator that’s flagrant , Tyler the creator is way over x at anytime at any day
@Jojottv Gamer not an absurd at all. I like Tyler, but he is just a good artist, nothing more. He uses the same style of rapping since 2013, majority of his songs sound the same. I don't know, it feels so repetitive for me. While X is soo versatile man, he can do whatever style and sound fantastic, he ahs a lot of different flows while rapping, not even mentioning he's amazing singing and screaming ability. So much different emotions on each track, while Tyler's music is just maninstream sounding , generic and almost emotionless rap music.
It's so cool he dressed up as himself from each album and killed them off. It's showing us that he's changing as a person. He isn't who he was 14 years ago when he dropped bastard, and he isn't who he was 2 years ago when he dropped CMIYGL. He's telling us that he is who he is right now, and he's sorry if people don't like it but it's who he is. Beautiful.
Folks saying Tyler changed. There's one thing about Tyler that never changes: his ability to create some of the greatest music of our generation. He always delivers.
I think artist are ment to change and grow its there freedom of expression, not ment to be the same forever. That being said I wish gorillaz would go back the the demon days lol
This music video ties into Tyler's monologue at the beginning of DOGTOOTH stating "Sometimes you just wanna restart, looking for ways to get rid of some things, thrilling or simple, everything must go whether it takes all day or all night" this is Tyler accepting himself as an individual instead of hiding behind these fake personalities, he wants to be seen as Tyler Okonma and not as wolf, troncat, cherrybomb, Igor, or Mr. Baudelaire he is himself and this is him accepting that.
He’s so artistic, just in about 3 minutes he tells a whole story talking about his past seeing all of his past selfs and being sorry for the things he has done but he is also not sorry because look where he is now. Than at the end you see his “naked self” or his true self, killing the facade that everyone know as Tyler. This guy is just amazing.
@Helix TV there might be a new album coming sometime this year, but if you look in the description there’s a pre-save link for “Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale” which is “a collection of songs” that didn’t make the cut. I’m guessing it’s some sort of ep / brief continuation of CMIYGL as opposed to a whole new album.
This was amazing it was like everyone one of himself explaining his story on why who what when and where. At the end of it all hes still himself, true art in lyrics and visuals 🙏👑
One of the most raw, introspective looks at Tyler The Creator’s life, reflecting on past mistakes and the complexities of personal growth, while also celebrating his successes and the person he has become. You can feel and see all the emotions within each era of him. Fucking legendary. A straight up masterpiece.
The shirtless Tyler kinda acting as his raw self or him on the inside killing every era of his old self is such a dope concept and uses nostalgia in such an interesting way. Tyler just executes on a whole other level. His whole career he’s truly done anything he sets his mind to and makes it a reality. It’s beautiful
the storytelling... the film direction..... the mannerisms of each era..... as a tyler fan since goblin, this is just, wow. he has truly exceeded any expectations i had for him with this one
Tyler has a director credit under his belt now, not sure how many times he's done it before but this is masterful! A Tyler, the Creator visual album is something I never knew I needed until. Is there anything this man can't do as an artist?
Been a fan since Tyler since 2014 and his progression not just as a person but as an artist has been amazing. All of his personas and alter egos coming together and getting killed off is crazy. Love to see where he goes next with his music
The shirtless him is his true self. He’s artistically explaining/representing each album and saying he’s sorry for that stage of his life but his true self is coming through killing his regrets. This is a masterpiece
@VikMonke bruh I like to think that Igor not being killed or implied to have died is him being genuinely satisfied/glad that it happened. I think he spared Igor because Igor seems to be the closest thing to the real him,maybe. But who knows.
How does it feel like those music videos always feel perfect for me ? I mean since 2017 my taste in art have changed , why does everything he does feel perfectly right ?
So goddamn iconic. Being a fan of tyler since his way earlier stuff, honestly I didn't think he had it in him to come this far. Proved me wrong by Miles, and its inspiring.
I love how he gives the most authentic straightforward apology for those who only see him on surface level as weird or outlandish and then he talks his shit unapologetically about who he is and what he’s done and how he feels good about his development and maturity. And for those who still don’t understand him or disagree with his vision and image “I’m Sorry..” 🤷🏽♂️. It’s beautiful
the way i was literally listening to him last week and was like “it feels like forever since tyler released a song.. when is he gonna release another one?” and here he goes… when the world needed him most, releasing two songs
Tyler sait comment avoir une patte ipséité dans ses sons. je l'écoute que depuis l'an passé et j'ai été conquis par son style WTF et ultra chanmé ET J'ADORE CA
This song is incredible. Apologizing for all the things he did in the past but reminding everyone he's not sorry for overcoming his struggles. This is great😭😭
@bob boberson No, he's not sorry about the stuff he talks about when he switches his flow: overcoming section 8, minimum wage jobs, ect. He's admitting he was wrong about everything else. It's supposed to be a contrast of the good and bad thus far in his career.
This single song, shows the story of how his personallitys of his old songs leaving his body, and him apologizing for it, its a beautiful song and video, i cant wait to see this on the estate sale
I've been there since 2012 and witnessed all of these alter egos step by step, all I want to say is I'm proud of what Tyler has become - what a journey it was
This has to be Tyler's best music video to date. The way the characters and actors (who have starred in previous phases of Tyler) reflect Tyler's vocal inflections and lyrics, the concept, the costumes, the ending, everything here is incredible.
Nice observation. I noticed that the guy and the girl in the crowd are the same ones from the "too young" and "a boy is a gun" videos. His mom is also there at the start
this is truly amazing and this music video makes it feel like the next album is the last and him killing all he’s other personalities was portrayed perfectly
@umbiiical this is a separate project that’s basically a CMIYGL deluxe edition. The commenter is referring to the album that’ll supposedly come out later this summer, based on his typical album release schedule
Incredible. It’s incredible that this guy was making music since I was a fucking football sized booger-picking machine and now I’m a few days away from turning 19 watching possibly his best music video he’s ever released on the day it dropped hearing some of the most emotional soundscapes and lyrics yet even after all of the emotional roller coasters he’s put us through already. I’m just in shock and awe, thank you for the art Tyler 🫡
this work is beautiful, i remember when i was little and i watched this guy skateboarding and that even though i was in brazil, i didn't understand the language and i was hooked on the videos and then i saw him singing his records and that stopped me doing rap , this incredible, perfect human evolution, congratulations. nigga 🎉
From an artistic perspective this is probably Tyler's best music video. Absolutely insane creative storytelling, and to top it off its nostalgic as anything by displaying every stage of his career. The fact he sat on this for almost two years is absolutely insane.
Wow…and these tracks didn’t make the cut for the main record? Most artists would kill for tracks like these on the album, and these are sittin in Tyler’s back pocket. What a genius.
@Dylan Covella a lot of artists make a bunch of songs in search of their new album/sound direction and then end up only using a handful for the actual album. T said it himself these were made for cmiygl which came out two years ago. He may have made some changes here and there but he didn’t just now make some songs up for a deluxe.
