Odd Future's frontman and rebel yeller Tyler, the Creator is a complex individual. He's so complex that someone should deconstruct him to analyze the sum of his parts. We decided we were up for that challenge. As a tongue-in-cheek meets demented lyricist, brilliant producer and fun-loving bad boy, the 21-year-old is one of hip-hop's most polarizing figures as of late. Some people love him; others want to run from him. No matter how you view him though, you can't help but want to understand him.

The BoomBox isn't claiming to decode Tyler, per se; that would be like opening Pandora's box. What we can do is take elements of Tyler's life, style, music and career and figure out how each of these pieces makes the puzzle that is the rapper some love to hate. It's not the easiest job, but somebody had to do it, especially on the day his Odd Future album, 'The OF Life Vol. 2,' arrives. Check out the 10 ingredients that make this OFWGKTA ringleader a recipe for success.

Love Tyler! Odd Future's new album is KILLER and I'd love to see them live. If The O.F. Tapes Vol.2 gets performed live in MN again, I'll have to go, cuz it looks like I really missed out http://bit.ly/zFJ6VL

If you like Tyler the Creator, you might like my blog, Rhymes and Reasons. It’s a series of interviews with hip-hop heads who discuss their lives and a few songs that matter to them. Pretty powerful stuff. Check’em out here:

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, money ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is a banker .We met via ~~~~Richmingle.Ｃ０Ｍ~~~~, a nice place for women and oldermen who have much money, ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is in your group?
