Tyler, The Creator’s “Yonkers” Explained
  • 6 years ago
Odd Future rapper Tyler, The Creator broke out in a major way with his vulgar 2011 hit “Yonkers.” The self-produced track helped turn Tyler’s Odd Future collective into rap’s hottest names at the time, and the song eventually went Gold without ever charting on the Billboard Hot 100. “Yonkers” was meant as a parody of New York hip-hop, and also contained some controversial shots at B.o.B and Bruno Mars.
