Review

The rapper Tyler, The Creator is back with his latest single, “DOGTOOTH,” which is a powerful message. This song, the twenty-first track from Tyler’s deluxe album “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale,” combines his signature sound with some experimental.

The introduction by Tyler and DJ Drama sets the tone for the remainder of the song. Tyler’s flow is fluid and effortless, and he delivers his rhymes with confidence and ease. The chorus is simple yet popular, with Tyler rapping, “She could ride my face, I don’t want nothin’ in return, only some of her time and all her love, that’s my concern.”

Production is one of the most prominent features of the song. With a gritty and soulful beat, Tyler’s production skills are on full display. The instrumental is constructed around a sample of “Do I Stand a Chance?” by The Montclairs, providing a nostalgic element to the song.

Tyler’s “DOGTOOTH” lyrics cover various issues, from his life’s values to his scorn for material stuff. Tyler takes aim at people who advise women how their bodies should seem in the second verse, rapping, “Niggahs tellin’ women how they bodies supposed to be, but never take advice from a nigga with a lean gut.”

Overall, “DOGTOOTH” is a worthy addition to Tyler’s illustrious repertoire. The song illustrates his artistic development through its flawless blending of various sounds and styles. The music video, directed by Tyler under his moniker Tyler Okonma, is a fitting visual portrayal of the song, showcasing Tyler riding through various settings and environments.

The deluxe edition of “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale” by Tyler, The Creator will be released by Columbia Records on March 31. The deluxe copy of the album has new tracks and a 28-page booklet, making it a must-have for fans of the rapper.

Tyler, The Creator’s “DOGTOOTH” is another outstanding single, further establishing him as one of the most original and exciting hip-hop artists of the present day. Tyler’s strong and unapologetic approach to music continues to push the genre’s boundaries and solidify his place in its history.

Lyrics

[Intro: Tyler, The Creator & DJ Drama]

Sometimes, you just wanna restart (Call on me)
Looking for ways to get rid of some things (When you get lost)
Whether it takes all day or all night (You say)
She could ride my face. I don’t want nothing in return.
Her body count and who she fuck ain’t never my concern.
I’m tryna buy my neighbor house.
Dogtooth.

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
She could ride my face. I don’t want nothing in return.
Except for some her time and all her love.
That’s my concern. I’m tryna buy my neighbor house and turn it to a yard.
If you don’t know my grandma name then we ain’t really dogs, bitch.

[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator]
I shook your hand, I don’t respect. Don’t can me king.
I’m not your twin, I’m not your brother.
We just met. See I won’t purchase her no Birkin.
Got hobbies, got purpose. Got thumpers, I’m perfect.
Kelly green wagon look better when the gloom out.
Canary shine brighter in the dark, I brought the moon out.
The plane fly better when it’s just me and the pilot.
Tuition for the mileage, it’s worth it for the silence.
There he casts broads like radio. Shit, your lady knows.
It’s young T like_.baby clothes. And I got that fire.
And I got good dick. Guap long.
Dick long. Plus I look good, bitch.

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & DJ Drama]
She could ride my face. I don’t want nothing in return.
Because if she get off then I get off. That’s my concern.
I’m tryna buy my neighbor house and turn it to a yard.
If you don’t know my grandma name then we ain’t really dogs, bitch.

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator & DJ Drama]
That’s a lot of mothafucking necklace.
5-6-7 is the figure for a set list. Ring, ring, ring, bitch.
Pick up the phone. I don’t care if ya’ll together.
I will tear down a home.
I shimmy through Paris in back of phantom of the threads.
The driver’s seat of the Enzo could barely fit my legs.
And Virgil my chaperone, he lookout fran overhead.
Not sure what you over­heard, but it’s probably what I said.
Bitch, Putout here living. ‘,rata all on the feed (yuck).
My girl look like Zazie Beetz and Fells (yuck).
I pull up in a “what the fuck is that, dog?” (yuck).
It’s Mr. Peculiar, that’s who I be.
Niggas telling women how their bodies supposed to be but.
Never take advice from any nigga with a lean gut.
Keep yo chair rocking and my two cents in yo pocket. Your only option.
I don’t play no mothafucking games.

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & DJ Drama]
She could ride my face. I don’t want nothing in return.
And will I ever fall in love again? I can’t confirm.
I’m tryna buy my neighbor house and turn it to a yard.
If you don’t know my daughter name.
Then we ain’t really dogs. Dogtooth
