Tyler, the creator begins with the 6 -night resident at Crypto.com Arena


After performing most of his last album, “Chromakopia”, only two months ago in his annual Flog Carnival, Tyler, the creator could have easily copied and stuck his well received set of set for his album Tour, who arrived in Crypto .com Arena for a six night post in Los Angeles that began Valentine's Day.

But the veteran rapper, who obtained his stamp as one of the most exciting live artists of this era, did anything except what would have been convenient on Friday night.

During the opening night of the residence of his hometown in the Arena, which was illuminated in green lights to match the aesthetics of the album: Tyler, the creator bounced between two mass stages in the place of capacity of 20,000. His program skillfully led fans to a musical journey of his 15 -year constant rise, reminding them why he is “that guy” (his free style about “Hey Now” by Kendrick Lamar) without the help of special guests during his performance of performance of almost two hours. Paris Texas, the rap duo based in the, and Lil Yatchy opened the show with high energy sets.

While his mother's voice sounded on the sound system of the sand as a god of the skies during the opening song of the album, “St. Chroma,” Tyler, the creator (born Tyler Okonma), marching towards the Rhythm that sounds to the militant in a stage full of green storage boxes. An Afro divided into two mountain peaks looked like a threatening supervillain while touching more vulnerable album, which explores issues of aging, fatherhood, masculinity, monogamy, fame and more.

When he reached the album's climax, “Sticky” (with glorilla, sexyy network and Lil wayne), the 33 -year -rapper climbed on a high catwalk and threw several $ 1 tickets to the crowd under it, before reducing the Things for the form “Remove your mask”, doing exactly that for the end of the song.

Continuing walking along the high track, it changed to a more informal appearance (a white shirt, a green golf button, a cap and moccasins “adjusted” petoters), then entered a second stage, a false living room. I was equipped with a sofa, coffee table, piano and toadiscos. Nearby there was a vinyl box full of Tyler, the creator's own records, with which he marked a inflection point of the show.

While turning the albums, he revealed clues about the album that would act from the next one, lighting a thunderous roar of the crowd each time. (At one time, the crowd began to sing “Cherry Bomb”, to which Tyler, the creator, hilariously reminded them that this was his show and that he would do what he I wanted to do.)

Then he immersed himself in fragments of his catalog, including “Igor” (with clues such as “Earfquake” and “I Think”), “Goblin” (“Yonkers” and “She”), “Wolf” (“Tamale” and “Ifhy “),” Call me if you miss “(” I thought you wanted to dance “and” dogtooth “),” Cherry Bomb “(” Deathcamp “) and” Flower Boy “(” Boring “and” See Te Again “).

Back in the “Chromakopia” stage and still dressed in its casual adjustment, she made the last four clues on the album, as well as “New Magic Wand” of “Igor”, including a fierce steel of “Think i was was dead” , Similar but as intense as during its Flog camp set. The newly coined Grammy winner and the beloved Dawg Entertainment Doechii appeared on a massive screen to ray his verse in “Balloon”, then Tyler, the creator ended the night with the magnificently emotional “I hope you find your way home.”

At this point in his career, Tyler, the Creator is known for organizing an entertaining show, but this in particular reaffirmed what Los Angeles fans have known since their strange days in the future, passing the time in Melrose Avenue: it is a intrepid artist who is authentically himself, constantly challenges himself creatively (regardless of what others think), and will continue to push the limits within the industry.
