Most of us who witnessed the jaw-dropping appearance of Tyler The Creator on Fallon probably already knew MCs could rap over futuristic synth-fed beats, only we couldn’t care less. Take away the fine-tuned aesthetic around the actual song (zombies walking on stage = instant cred), plus the punkish vibe evoked by two kids frantically jumping around during a televised stage performance, and all you ‘re left with is a decent track from the Odd Future leader, a 19-year old kid whose greatest qualities are not giving a fuck and not bragging about it. It felt pretty genuine, though, and that’s more than most can brag about.
