![]() Odd Future merchandise, mostly characterised by the now iconic ‘donut’ emblem on hoodies and t-shirts, was everywhere, skateboarding became cool for a generation of hip-hop lovers once again, and a rebellious attitude wrought havoc through many a family home. It also started to spawn personalities like those I described in the first paragraph of this increasingly long introduction to this article. It would serve as the perfect predecessor for his debut album, Goblin, a project that made headlines for some seriously questionable lyricism and set Tyler up for world tours alongside his clique of misfits, Odd Future. They would be wrong, however.īack in 2009, a teenage Tyler released Bastard, a mixtape recorded in his grandmother’s basement that was filled with juvenile profanity and a dark deep-dive into Tyler’s psyche. Relative newcomers to Tyler’s music could be mistaken for thinking the Grammy Award-winning rapper/producer-turned-musician and fashion extraordinaire came into music with his head already glued on straight, nothing but soulful croons and piano raps in his arsenal. If you’ve not already been transported back to a time when you’re strutting through your high school (or equivalent) eyeing up the above reprobates with disdain (unless you were one of them, of course, like I was), then you’ve probably never heard Tyler, the Creator’s 2011 debut album Goblin. The description of these three individuals is specific enough and yet alienating enough for your reaction to be either: “shit yeah, I completely get what you’re talking about, those were the days”, or, “the guy who wrote this is clearly unhinged, why is he talking about cats and donuts?” A third guy, meekly brandishing a skateboard under his arm, is wearing a jet-black hoodie with a giant pink donut plastered across its front. Crowded around him is another morose looking white guy who has scrawled an upside-down cross on his hand in crusty marker pen and spent his last class before lunch doodling pictures of cats. In the music video for the track "Whoa" on Earl Sweatshirt's Doris, it features Samuel.POV: You’re walking through your high school in 2011 (if you’re in the UK or anywhere outside America, then squeeze your eyes really tight and imagine a ‘high school’ as hard as you can! Magical.) There’s a white kid wearing a Supreme snapback and a tye-dye t-shirt leaning against a locker.Though Tyler doesn't smoke in real life, Sam is his only character that does.Sam is later revealed to be another one of Tyler's alter-egos and is killed by Tyler in "Sam (Is Dead)". Afterwards on "treehome95", Sam and Salem end up getting back together. Then on track "Trashwang" sam starts the war at Camp Flog Gnaw, his team vs Wolf's team, who wins is unknown. In "Rusty", Sam goes on the hunt for Wolf as he ends up shooting Earl Sweatshirt, which was a way of sending him a message (hence why Earl is not featured on Goblin). Sam doesn't come back to the camp until "PartyIsntOver/Campfire/Bimmer" as he finds out from L-Boy that Salem has been cheating on him while he's been gone to drop off a package (drug deal). When Wolf Haley arrives to the camp, Sam warns Wolf to stay away from him and Salem's relationship which he ignores when Sam leaves the camp for a to make a drug run as Wolf and Salem start hanging out with each other. Sam soon meets Salem at the camp as they later become a couple which makes Sam become insanely jealous and protective due to the fact that Salem is his first and only girlfriend. As revealed in "Pigs", Sam finally snapped and killed all of his bullies with the four "Sams" which later led him to being sent to Camp Flog Gnaw. Biography īefore being sent to Camp Flog Gnaw, Samuel was a lonely kid who got severely bullied at school, was a social outcast, and didn't have a great relationship with his stepfather. ![]() ![]() Sam is introduced in the opening track "WOLF" and is also featured in Earl Sweatshirt's "WHOA" music video, along with "Sam (Is Dead)". Samuel Baudelaire Okonma III is a fictional character and the main antagonist from the third studio album, Wolf of American rapper/record producer Tyler the Creator.
