Flower Boy

Tyler, the Creator

2017

Flower Boy is a journey to self-discovery and confronting the parts of yourself you typically avoid confronting. We aren’t always who we were yesterday, and certainly most of us aren’t who we were at age 17.

Tyler uses driving as a metaphor for his journey through life-he raps about driving away from his problems and fears, almost crashing, switching gears, and touches on what owning a car means to him outside of, you know, getting somewhere.
