10 Legendary Concept Records Of The 2010's

For everyone following the course of Odd Future throughout their career, no one was guessing that this is where Tyler the Creator would have ended up. After being the kind of edge lord style rapper that made offensive raps just to get a reaction, everything post Flower Boy has been Tyler opening up about his homosexuality and the kind of loneliness that he's had to fight with his entire life. If Flower Boy was the proof of concept, Igor was where Tyler made his own answer to someone like Ziggy Stardust.

Framing the entire story as a narrative, this is Tyler trying desperately to form a relationship with this man, only to fall short every single time. This isn't a fling or something either. Across every one of these tracks, Tyler's willing to do everything he can to satisfy his lover, from the maniacal gasps going on in New Magic Wand to the sweet sound of Solange being the voice in his head about finally finding a soulmate on I Think.

By the end of the album though, every single plan that Tyler has falls apart, as his boyfriend moves on with someone else and keeps him at arm's length when our boy wonders Are We Still Friends?. After chasing this man's heart for this entire project, Tyler finds himself in that Igor position all over again, always being the tortured servant to his crush's affection. You have to move on, but sometimes that love is too strong to get over.
