Fucking Young

Tyler’s dropped two new tracks—”Fucking Young” and Death Camp—and they sound like N.E.R.D at their best, back when Pharrell could make something brilliant without needing to announce that it was brilliant. The confidence is just there, quiet and infuriating in how rare it is. No forced posturing, no default gangsta-rap drama, no pretending that suffering is personality. Just craft, the kind that makes you realize how much of everything else is just noise.

I’ll get tired of them eventually. You always do. But that’s not today, and today they’re the only thing I want to hear.
