From Spotify, this is Dicek, long-form musical analysis broken into short

digestible episodes. This is episode 7 of our season long examination of Tyler the Creator's Igor.

I'm your host Cole Kishna. Oh, yeah. Last time I dissect we examine Igor's seventh track, A Boy is a Gun.

There we witnessed several specific moments that exposed Tyler's dichotomous relationship with his crush.

This dichotomy was expressed through the song

Central Gun metaphor which Tyler said made him feel safe but also put him in

emotional danger. The song then ended with Tyler upset that his crush brought the

girl to their breakfast date, leading Tyler to

finally break things off with him.

This direct rejection I ain't gonna' my shub but stay the fuck away from me.

This direct rejection would have his thinking that Tyler is once and for all done with this guy.

And this is what makes what happens next all the more surprising, as Igor continues into its next track the subject of

our episode today puppet.

Ao.

I want to talk you and talk I want to walk to your front doing no after I stow my vehicle

drive to your city because we live in our apartment. Land at your driveway and put it in Paul.

Then do the third line of this verse the back to my house and we pack up a bicycle.

And we rock through the pole checks the sun.

Puppet was produced by Tyler Akoma with additional vocals by Santagold and

Jesse Wilson and a guest verse from Connie West. The beginning of

puppet rests on two musical techniques occurring simultaneously,

an ostinato and a descending chromatic baseline.
