She.

The Goblin album is dark as hell but I love the fact that (like Kanye), Tyler The Creator is bringing something fresh to hip hop outside of just "the block". For me, the album allows you to delve into subject matter that is a bit fucked up and wrong and it makes you feel a bit uncomfortable for a second before it's over and you disconnect and resume your normal life.

It's a similar trip I've always appreciated with films, mostly horror ones. You have a challenging experience and squirm in your set and then the lights come on and it's all just entertainment.

With the videos the momentary creepiness are really brought to life. Impressive too is that Tyler The Creator directs all of them himself. In addition to all the things he's been called, you can't deny he is a creative dude with real depth.
