But then, in September 2013, he released the trailer for a film called WOLF. I called it the best multi-faceted story since Slim Shady told me to go and stick nine-inch nails into each one of my eyelids.Ī few months passed by without official comment from Tyler the Creator – the piece had caught attention and was wetting the internet’s pants it was posted as an official reference on the album's Rap Genius page, and (still to this day) rammed into my timeline from Odd Future fans - but, despite the odd blase tweet, Tyler never confirmed the storyline. Piecing Wolf together with previous releases Bastard and Goblin, it seemed Tyler had used multiple characters - called Wolf, Sam, Ace the Creator, Tron Cat, and others - to narrate a semi-fictional world set in a place called Camp Flog Gnaw, with therapy sessions guiding the narrative. After listening to the album, I wrote a piece nonchalantly titled “The Conspiracy Theorist’s Guide to Tyler, the Creator’s WOLF Trilogy”, chronicling how Tyler had directed a storytelling masterpiece.

Two years ago Tyler the Creator released Wolf and unleashed the Learnaen Hydra of narratives.
