From Spotify Studios, this is Dissect, long-form musical analysis broken into short digestible episodes.

I'm your host, Cole Kushner. Oh, Today we

dissected 911, 911, Mr Lonely, a two-part song that finds Tyler

getting to the root cause of his materialism and loneliness,

expressing how his inexperience with love creates a void in his life that he fills with

material goods. We also heard Tyler connect his loneliness to his inability to articulate his sexuality to others.

In Tyler's own words, 911 Mr. Lonely is the saddest song he's ever written,

and marks an acceleration in the downward emotional spiral we've heard since the

revelation that was the song Garden Shedd.

Flower Boy will continue this plunge toward rock bottom, but first we're met with an interludelude a brief respite from Tyler's

emotional descent dropping seeds. I'm

water my seeds, follow my leaf, fire, I rewater my seed and sit back and watch money growing trees.

Dropping seeds is produced by Tyler the Creator

and prominently features rapper Little Wayne. Indeed Tyler only

appears as a vocalist for four bars at the end of this minute-long track. The rest is given to

Wayne, a conscious decision Tyler made the instant he composed the beat.

Why the decision for you not to join?

Because I was like, I was like, you know what, I just have a little hook at the end.

Mm-hm.

But I want to hear Wayne over these notes and this pocket.

And I want to see what he would do.

And his hype his voice over this lower tone
