Title: Tyler, The Creator - Bastard
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2009, Hip Hop, Alternative Rap, Hawthorne, California 5/26
Condition: New (BC) | Members: Tyler O (91' - )
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Bastard circles Tyler’s absent father, anger, loneliness, and therapy fantasy, turning teenage damage into the first Odd Future mythology.

2. Public Scandal: The mixtape’s violent and homophobic language later fed bans, backlash, and the larger argument over shock rap versus real harm.

3. Scene Ecology: Bastard spread through blogs and message boards before Odd Future became a brand, catching LA skate-rap chaos before the industry knew what to do with it.
