Cherry Bomb is the third studio album by American rapper Tyler, the Creator. It was released on April 13, 2015, by Odd Future Records. On April 9, 2015, the album was informally announced on iTunes, along with the release of two tracks. Production was handled primarily by Tyler himself, with additional contributions by Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger. The album features guest appearances from Schoolboy Q, Charlie Wilson, Kali Uchis, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Pharrell Williams, among others. The album was supported by two singles: "Deathcamp" and "F*****g Young / Perfect". The snippet of a music video for "Deathcamp" was sharing with a music video for "F*****g Young".
Cherry Bomb was recorded in Tyler's home studio as well as other studios in California. The sample for "Deathcamp" was rejected shortly before the album was due to be turned in. The string section featured on the song "2Seater" was written by Tyler and recorded at Hans Zimmer's studio. It marked Tyler's first time overseeing a real live orchestra. "Run" was recorded in Tyler's living room and features harmonic vocals from Chaz Bundick who also provided guitar chords to the song "F**king Young". "Find Your Wings" initially featured vocals from singers Samantha Nelson, Onitsha Shaw and Tiffany Palmer. The final version features vocals from Kali Uchis. Kanye West explained that he rewrote his lines for the song "Smuckers" after he heard Tyler's and Lil Wayne's verses to the song. ASAP Rocky was present during some album sessions despite not being featured on the album. The title for the song "The Brown Stains of Darkeese Latifah Part 6-12 (Remix)" was made intentionally long. Its original title was "The Brown Stains of Blackeese Latifah Part 6-12 (The Remix) (Rough Draft) (Club Edit) (Rodney Jerkins Mix)".

Tyler was right. Cherry Bomb was a musical museum.

You and saad messed it up 😢@@Prod_by_Siah
Fucking Young is probably one of my favourite Tyler songs ever honestly
Easily top 10
2SEATER too FOR SURE.
yes 100%
100% agree homie. Its so aaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭😭😭💞😭💞💞😭
Cheers to that. Me too honestly
The Cherry Bomb Era, was one of his best era's. I love almost every song on this album and it grew on me so much over the years.
Bruh I see you commenting on videos i watch all the fucking time
Odd Future 2012-2013 is his best era
@@leo-jx8oq we need the OF tyler era back because tyler use to spit real bars back then.
Aaron Knox The bars spit on Flower Boy were way better than anything he did from OF
@@carstarsarstenstesenn Tyler in flower boy and igor: AYO AYO AYO AYO AYO AYO AYO AYO AYO AYO
Golf was at its creativity peak during the cherry bomb era imo
Arturo isn't wrong, to an extent. While Golf is certainly at its peak now, we can't ignore that it wasn't branching out into new territory in 2015. Tyler and Converse collabed creating Golf le Fleur, the fashion line allowed Tyler to open more doors in Spring 2016, and production value (even though, it's always been abrasive yet colorful) got better. 17 or not, we can't deny how more creative and successful Golf became.
Cade Kousal the cherry bomb era birthed the flame clothing and golf le fleur I like the direction golf is going to though, hell in 3 hours the spring/summer drop is going live and I’m buying a child of golf statue I just think that during the cherry bomb era the golf hype was real it was a perfect balance of edge and abrasive colors
Arturo Ramirez Most definitely.
Cade Kousal tf does that have to do with anything?
Cade Kousal Golf =/= OFWGKTA dipshit
DEATHCAMP is Tyler's most underrated song
I completely agree, it’s one of my favorite songs by him
I think Okaga is
It's won of the few songs that I think perfectly merges rock and hip-hop and doesn't sound corny
@@nunoportela8571 I don't know anyone who's listened to 2Seater and hasn't liked it, so maybe I'd say it's overlooked?
@@caidenword1044 HELL YEAH! I'm listening to the instrumental right now
It ain't fair to say that cherry bomb is a musical mess. FIND YOUR WINGS, for example, is, in terms of instrumentals beautiful. SMUCKERS has one of the best verses from Tyler, Weezy, and Yeezy. 2SEATER is a whole vibe, etc..
Fernando Sckaff okaga and blow my load are also beautiful
@@KotaWebb and fucking young too
He did aknowledge that the songs individually are beautiful. But all in all. An album should have some kind of consistency, tell a story. Cherry bomb seems to be going in every direction. Hence the label of a messy album.
@@neburarieiv Tyler does what he wants to do. He doesn't have to follow the rules of an album.
Fernando Sckaff deathcamp gets you so hype and excited which is beautiful
cherry bomb was the album that got me into tyler, fucking young was the best song i’ve ever heard to this day
Tyler Singh me too, that song is amazing
The following song “PERFECT” got me in love with the whole vibe in cherry bomb
yes
THIS IS LITERALLY ME BRO !! MAD RESPECT TO YOU 🤲🏾💜
The most underrated album. It's beautiful.
Glue Stick couldn’t be more wrong
To those who disagree. You are entitled to your opinion, and I am to mine. I respect all views. I think Cherry Bomb is beautiful for various reasons. Of course, it is a bit of a mess... but there are gems hidden inside it. Take OKAGA, CA for example, my favorite Tyler song, it is riddled with beautiful notes and instruments. You can really tell he put in thought for every bit of the song. The chords, to the melodies. I admire the the embodiment of many types of sounds the track has. Also, even if it’s not good to someone, you have to respect his efforts. It is a bold and artistic album, where Tyler tried to push himself as an artist and find a new footing. These are just some reasons why I think Cherry Bomb is beautiful.
Bountiful Baboon
splish splash your opinion is trash
wakosamurai
people can express an album how they want you fucking vegetable
@@wowiwhwbw Except in this case it's correct ye fucking tube
The transition in PILOTS from angry sounding to happy sounding is God tier
I cannot believe he went this whole video without saying anything about that song it’s so good
It's so clean and smooth it's my favorite fking song on the whole album goddamnit
nah man he really used those piano chords he loves creatively in that one. that refrain " i don't wanna crash, i dont wanna crash anymore" also hits deep af. can relate
The “Cherry Bomb” era was the best time for Golf Wang, it had a huge influence on how the mainstream public dressed. The “Flower Boy” era would be 2nd, because the album had an influence on the “vintage” and “softboy” trend.
Honestly Cherry Bomb is almost equal to Flowerboy for me, I just prefer Flowerboy a little more bc of it's an easier listen
agree
Cherry Bomb is one of those records that gets better with most listens. Just like Yeezus.
Can't echo this enough
I can agree on Cherry Bomb, it's grown on me a lot lately. But honestly I can't say the same for Yeezus, for me it's easily Kanye's worst album, with some good tracks sprinkled in.
exactly
@@shittelevision2384 :(
@@shittelevision2384 nah
In a creative medium, you have to be ready to take some pushback when putting out a really original idea. For true innovation, this is a fact of life
Cherry Bomb is one of those albums that will seem like more of a stepping stone in retrospect but it opened the door for what would become popular with Flower Boy and IGOR
Experimental music is called that for a reason. After all, not all experiments get the results you want but I consider this album not only to be great but to have the unrestricted creativity to influence in a really positive way
Well said
very well said man and i like the MF DOOM pfp
love u, finally someone sane
I love how PILOT ends with "I don't wanna" then goes into RUN
I love cherry bomb
Cherry bomb is a album that'll never get old.
Cherry Bomb is the definition of the Creator in Tyler, The Creator. It's a creative project. Also without Cherry Bomb and me being perfectly fine with how it's mixed I don't think I ever would've liked shoegaze records like Loveless. (though tbf i didn't at first) or even Tame Impala songs where the vocals are kinda hard to hear. I think at this point people just expect us to hear the lyrics instead of it being part of the mood.
I know not many people agree, but Cherry Bomb is one of my favourite albums from Tyler. Something about the imperfection gives the album a little more authenticism.
It’s Tyler transition album
Syd was on the album tho and she was kinda from OF 🤔
she was definitely from OF. they used her house as their main hangout and their studio (i think)
She is OF 100%
manny casper by that time Syd confirmed she was no longer a part of OF tho so technically there’s no feature from any active OF member
cherry bomb came at a time where we thought we knew Tyler as an artist
When I listened to it, it felt like all of my emotions in an album. Really made me feel differently throughout the whole album.
Cherry bomb was Tyler’s true sound... not one appreciated it only the few until Tyler himself admitted that it was his favorite and his most fun project he did. This album embodies Tylers music.
Cherry Bomb is so overhated
Imagine thinking that
Its ass
It’s the exact opposite of overrated what the fuck why have I only heard this now
Migz no that’s underrated
A dank Toothbrush sooo... underhated?
Cherry Bomb is definitely his most creative album. None two songs sounds the same
Can you do something on JPEGMAFIA? He's a really interesting artist and I always learn a lot from your videos!!
VETERAN was the best album of 2018 no gas. Peggy haffa blow up
Damn Peggyyyyy, between Veteran and Denzel Curry’s Taboo for Hip Hop record of the year 2018
@@fromthe4621 it was a good album but far from perfect
Daytona up there with those two too for me even with just the 7 tracks soo much depth and quality
AC i I also think “some rap songs” was a good album tbh if you ask me
Cherry bomb would be Tyler’s best album if it was more consistent and focused
Lonergan, Seamus except that’s not what he said at all lmao
No it wouldn't. The abrasiveness works well as a contrast with the brighter neosoul songs.
Lifeless web user exactly, the highest quality of the album for me was how disoriented and off kilter the flow was between every song. they all connect for me
But it is focused, in a weird way lol
If you listen to the songs backwards it makes more sense for breakups . The gems 💎 that are on this album are worth listening The last five songs alone are the best
You know, I watch your videos now and know EXACTLY how to do every effect you do; but knowing AE isn't the problem. I could *NEVER* think up the incredibly creative, everchanging styles your presentation has.
you know at first i really didn’t like the album but over time i’ve come to appreciate the authenticity and variety of cherry bomb.
Been waiting for this!!! Thanks man!!
Bro your contents lit keep doing what ur doing
I love how you recognize that the album was not well received instead of directly praising it 💜💜
Dude I’m so glad you made this video, im going to enjoy it
After video edit; thanks dude for high effort and quality content
My favorite Tyler album, I’m glad you decided to make a video about it
volkgeist is the goat of youtube bruh
this channel is so underrated i love it keep doing you
Thank god for this vid Cherry Bomb is still my favorite Tyler album and for sure in my top 5.
4:16 Yea but Syd on PILOT
Good video. I was really hoping you’d go more into the other tracks on the album. Like find your wings or OKAGA CA. But great video!
these videos are amazing! love this channel
even though he's literally said it multiple times, the cherry bomb documentary video make its obvious that it was his favorite work at the time by far. that shit taught me what it really means to love music, yo. seeing him record and come up with melodies in his literal bedroom was so inspiring. i urge everyone who hasnt seen it yet to watch
Dude the brown stains of darkness Latifa and Yonkers are what got me hooked on Tyler cherry bomb is slept on
Ghad your videos are always so satisfying to watch
i've been waiting for this
Thank you this is my favorite Tyler album!!
Was waiting for this
my favorite tyler album, thanks for making this video
dude people need to watch this guy's content more like the production value alone on the editing is remarkable and the topic are covered super well too
The only actual song I wouldn’t be able to say I love, is the title track, other than the synth outro
The song sounds like pure shit in the form of music, but the album is good
In the title track I *think* that the loud sounds were supposed to sound like a bombs shockwave, but also I love that song because it is just chaos and aggression in the form of music, like tron cat but the music is more violent than the vocals
Yeah Cherry Bomb is such a bad fucking song
I think keep da o’s is the only bad song, The title track is just too loud for me to listen to regularly
@@rhombusyt1007 keep da os is kinda good
So glad you made this, been listening to it nonstop recently after Igor released, when u go back and listen u can hear Tyler’s transition into Flower Boy coming off this album instrumentally, specifically in Find Your Wings and Perfect, on Buffalo he’s still lyrically aggressive in his delivery like previous works. Some elements off the album can be heard in Igor too, but this is just my perspective on things lol
FINALLY this video !,, couldve went much deeper but i accept it for what it is good video ;)
As a 12/13 year old who didn’t know much about music this album banged. Whereas Tyler believes only “real music” lovers would appreciate this, he forgot about kids who don’t have the biases people older than them have. Tyler has been my favorite artist since.
Reflecting back on Tyler's whole discography, Cherry Bomb was one of my favorites. Super experimental but you really gotta listen to it a few times to get it. It's really bridges his old and new stuff.
i cant understand how people say its his worst album, for me its the perfect transition from wolf to flower boy and shows so much musical variety with unique sounds you cant find anywhere else. it just has to grow on you.
hi teby cool to meet you here
It’s been about almost a month since I got into Tyler I listened to all his albums latest to oldest in 1 night and I’ve gotta say cherry bomb is a musical masterpiece I love albums with different types of songs they put you into a different vibe every song it’s just so versatile compared to any other artists album
My personal favourite song on cherry bomb is death camp because it gets you jumping and is different compared to his newest productions which is fantastic
When this album first came out, I loved it, but a of the people at school that were tyler fans made fun of me for liking it. I also liked yeezus when it came out, but as the artists evolved, people realized how things got better with age
THE WAIT IS OVEEER
cherry bomb, yeezus, because the internet, etc. Just albums that were ahead of their time
Understanding Slauson Malone next?
pls
Phenomenal video as always
It was my first album I listened too from Tyler. And it’s still my favorite.
ITS FINALLY COMING TO VINYL WOOOOOOOOO
excellent video. keep it up!
Smuckers is my second favorite Tyler song. I’m someone who found Tyler from flower boy and ended up falling more into his old music. To me, Cherry Bomb was messy but amazing. It felt all over place but I immediately took to it and felt like there was so much beautiful art work living inside of it. Tyler’s genius and I think Cherry bomb is one of the greatest examples
Finally!! Great video.
revisiting cherry bomb 4 years later. It honestly went from sounding like wild ass noise everywhere, to some really complex, very energetic, beautiful music
I love this album bro, my favorite track was probably the hidden track “Yellow”💛💛
Chur bum helped me find my wings this album will always have a special place in my heart. The Wolf album Is so sick too, I love listening to Awkward on a rainy day
If Tyler can somehow top igor like he did flower boy then he’ll go down as on if the greatest artist of all time
well ?
@@nuevosjeans it happened hes the greatest
you are probably the best channel on youtube
I have no idea why, but the more crazy and chaotic songs are INCREDIBLY interesting to me. Songs such as BROWN STAINS and CHERRY BOMB (the track) make me want to learn more about them, and once I stayed up until about 2 AM looking for information on said songs, but the most I could find is a fan-made lyric video. It’s a little disappointing that there’s so little information on them. It’s an odd choice, but I actually pay much more attention to the beat than Tyler’s actual lyrics when it comes to CHERRY BOMB, and I feel like that’s exactly how it’s designed to be. Tyler’s voice to me is a crucial instrument that still seems to fade into the background instead of the main focus!
I can't say what I appreciate whole album but some parts of it is really astonishing
FINALLY ITS BEEN LIKE A MONTH
I used to hate this album because of the mixing but now after exploring more deeply into other genres and types of hip hop and rap I feel a lot more of a connection to it and don’t truly hate any song like I do with some on goblin
cherry bomb, the best album i’ve ever heard, been listenning for 1 year and i still love all the songs
The thing about Chur Bum aging like wine is a factor that goes along with it being such an odd and left field release, any album that is experimental and different in it's approach to a genre or a musical idea will grow onto you the more time you put into listening, because repetition legitimizes, and even with something that's completely counter to all standards of music can be appreciated if it becomes familiar.
Having said that, it's still an extremely bold and unique album, and I love basically every track on it for one reason or the other, mostly because a lot of the tracks are meant to be enjoyed freely without thinking on it to much, which I guess is also the reason why Tyler later released instrumental, this is exploration of sound, it's just meant to feel good.
At the end of the day Cherry Bomb is still most definitely one of the most important releases for Tyler as an artist, we wouldn't be here now without it.
Tyler’s entire career is a never ending road of his life experience. If you don’t like his music, you don’t understand him, his mind, background, his honesty with and in is musical creativity.
the instrumentals and finals weren't released alongside, those came a couple years after release
HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 152K I LOVE YOU
okay, pretty sweet vid so far
personally i think cherry bomb is his best project because it’s a mixture of what he does best while also sounding really good. it’s important to the artists image and sound while keeping a good sound.
THANK U CHUR BUM NEEDS WAY MORE PRAISE ITS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE AND IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME IM GLAD MORE PEOPLE ARE GONNA APPRECIATE IT NOW
Can you do something about Brockhampton they have a very intresting sound and astethic
you put too much work in your videos to only get 95k views on them. i appreciate you volksgeist every album you cover are fantastic thank you for breaking down some of my favorite work.
I was so lucky to be there for his 2015 tour right before he got banned in the UK.
Just bought the vinyl
cherry bomb is an incredible album, it gets better everytime i listen to it. it really just clicks at some point, 2seater and pilot are 2 of my favorite tyler songs ever now
Finally someone’s giving this album some attention
Cherry Bomb is his most unpolished album for sure. You can hear the sounds that he would go on to make and perfect fighting to come out, up against the familiarity of the aggression that made him so captivating to begin with. It’s like hearing an emotional transition in real time, with previews of what’s to come, moments of nostalgic aggression, and songs where both are competing to out-do each other at the same time. That’s why it’s my favorite tyler album to date. You couldn’t have a flower boy or Igor without it, and it was clear to see that he was well on his path to carving a new landscape in hip hop, all while wrestling with the familiarity of what he knew how to make up until that point. The sonic limitations and signs of imminent progression to me make it absolutely beautiful. I’m not sure I’ve heard a pivot quite like it in hip hop ever before it came out, and certainly haven’t found one as beautifully raw since
5:58 did he put a golf patch on a supreme hat?
Cherry Bomb is my favorite Tyler album, probably because it was so experimental and diverse. I always go back to it.
YES
One lyric from Deathcamp "That’s when I realized we ain’t cut from the same fabric, I made my own sh*t, you went out and bought yours" is smart, it shows that he learned what his music would be. Which is originality not being the same as all the other rappers in today’s generation. Tyler The Creator is amazing his music too.
fave album
of all time.
you need to do a video on a very underated rapper his name is kota the friend as the more you listen to him his flow is crazy
DO MORE TYLER!!
I'm not sure why you decided to make all the scenes shaky cam but I got motion sick just a minute into this video.
