The characters in his IGOR and Cherry Bomb albums are also present, playing a more subtle role in the video. For example, in one section of the song the version of Tyler seen rapping is the version of himself in a green ski mask, a callback to what he and the rest of Odd Future would wear during the Goblin era in 2011. The track’s music video contained all of Tyler’s past personas with each other and incorporated the characters in the rapping of the lyrics of the song. SORRY NOT SORRY: a simply beautiful sendoff to the project and the CMIYGL era as a whole. “‘Sorry Not Sorry’ in my opinion might be his best song like with that video and everything, it’s actually insanely good,” Papadopulos said. The groove of the track reminisces on the groove one may feel while listening to 2019’s “I THINK,” or even some of the music Tyler provided while in charge of the musical direction alongside Benji B in Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2022 show. The house-influenced “BOYFRIEND, GIRLFRIEND,” is a catchy hint to the deluxe that adds a different flavor compared to that of the rest of the project. Although “HEAVEN TO ME” is one of my favorite tracks on both CMIYGL and The Estate Sale, I believe it worked perfectly as part of the deluxe rather than the main project in 2021. Although quality tracks, I believe songs such as the John Legend sampled “HEAVEN TO ME,” and finally track “SORRY NOT SORRY” are my favorite tracks on the deluxe. The following tracks, “WHARF TALK” and “DOGTOOTH” are the two tracks commonly praised as those that could have easily made the original tracklist for 2021’s “Call Me If You Get Lost ” although this may be true, neither of these songs in the selection of the “Estate Sale” stand as the strongest in the tracklist.

“WHARF TALK was crazy, WHAT A DAY was crazy… he probably could have put those on the album ,” Papadopulos said. A relaxed beat laced with Tyler’s distinct vocals, alongside DJ Drama’s adlibs allows for the song to be a notable addition to the Call Me If You Get Lost tracklist. Madlib’s sonic influence on Tyler appears as Madlib originally produced the beat over 10 years ago. The subsequent track “WHAT A DAY,” uses a beat produced by none other than Madlib. The chemistry between the artists is apparent and the two go back and forth on the track as Tyler defines his version of flaunting his wealth and success as his enjoyment in life, rather than people’s expectations of him.

Track two “STUNTMAN,” featuring Vince Staples provides an enjoyable combination of artists especially because the two toured the United States in 2022. The vocals may sound very familiar to anyone who has seen Tyler perform on his 2022 tour for CMIYGL as they have an uncanny resemblance to vocals which the artist would play in between songs during his set. Track one on The Estate Sale, “Everything Must Go,” presents Tyler extending his gratitude to his fans for what he has accomplished with the release of CMIYGL, including a sold-out arena tour and a Grammy win for the album. “I feel like these songs could have been like their own little EP but to make it a deluxe was kinda cool, like I think it’s better when a deluxe is that and not just dropping instrumentals for an album or like different versions of the same songs,” Miami Palmetto Senior High sophomore Mateo Papadopulos said. Thematically as well as instrumentally, the artist continues the narration of his 2021 album with “The Estate Sale” acting as a deluxe version of the now two-year-old “Call Me If You Get Lost.” Tyler employs retrospect in his own way, threading the deluxe with callbacks to his past as well as a lush and beautiful optimism for the future.

Although he has always been boastful, Tyler now has the lens of retrospect, glaring at his past with a developed eye. Additionally, it now shows the lifestyle and attitude he carries as a Grammy Award-winning musician for his albums “IGOR” and “Call Me If You Get Lost” respectively. “Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale,” released on March 30, expresses Tyler’s transformation from making beats and rhymes with the Odd Future collective in the late 2000s and early 2010s. This all-star-studded array of musicians sets Tyler apart from his peers, past and present. The cloth in which Tyler is cut stems from influences such as Stevie Wonder, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott and most notably, Pharrell Williams. As a musician (singer, rapper and producer), video director and designer, he has repeatedly demonstrated his prowess, skill and knowledge, allowing him to transcend his peers in hip-hop. The artistic transformation of Tyler, The Creator, remains a phenomenon to witness within the scope of hip-hop and beyond.
