Riff: Tyler the Creator – “Yonkers”

Oct 31, 2012

For a fucking shrink, sheesh, I already got mine/And he’s not fuckin’ workin,’ I think I’m wastin’ my damn time

from Yonkers lyrics by Tyler the Creator

The most famous song from the explosively popular (and aggressive) outfit Odd Future, “Yonkers” aims for creepy and hits. Probably the darkest wordplay to hit 50-million views pairs with Tyler’s ultra-deep voice to freak out any listener (or make them embrace their own instability).
