Who is Tyler Baudelaire? | Call Me If You Get Lost Explained

- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- Tyler, the Creator introduced us to a brand new era with nothing but a number, 855 444 8888. When I first saw this, I could tell that Tyler was looking to explore a new ego or character, to channel creativity with his music.
But that brings us the question who is Tyler Baudelaire, who is this new Italian travelling persona that we’re adventuring with through Call Me if You Get Lost?
In this video I will explain who I think who Tyler Baudelaire is. What his impact is on Tyler, the Creator's life and what he is trying to communicate with us throughout the symbolism in this album.

The craziest part is….if your a Tyler fan you’d know he probably just thinks the name looks/sounds cool..
That was probably just a bonus, the mans a genius...he probably put a bit of thought into the name.
LMFAOOO forreal
Or Tyler just watched the series of unfortunate events lmao 😂
Frrr lmao
@@RandyTillman20 literally every video looks like wes Anderson had his hands on it and it reminded alot of that Grand Budapest Hotel movie lol
Anyone ever noticed how Flower Bow, Igor, and CMIYGL is essentially a new trilogy? I’m calling it The Love Trilogy. It all stems from Flower Boy, and then Igor and CMIYGL are different perspectives of love triangles.
I can see it
what about cherry bomb?
it’s always been about a love triangle tho like on goblin and wolf. it’s like igor and cmiygl is the new version of those albums with tyler’s style at his full potential
@@abeultra cherry bomb feels like the transitional period between these two eras (or trilogies in this case). Personally, I think that it sounded so distorted and weird, because Tyler was trying to explore his softer feelings and ideas, much like in flower boy, while still trying to appeal to fans of the original trilogy (Bastard, Goblin and Wolf) thus resulting in this weird abomination of sound that is Cherry Bomb. Still love that album tho.
when you realise the girl in the triangle is in her teens.
Baudelaire was also a renown romantic, famous for his grandiose but bleak depictions of love and hapiness, and thus Tyler might have taken his name to emphasize his feelings of what his youth and cherry bomb could have been.
Plus, Baudelaire was a notorious drug addict (les paradis artificiels,...) and saw drugs and sex as an escape (almost the only escape) from his sad 19th century reality.
Tyler said something about avoiding drugs as much as he could in interviews and public discussions (like the one with converse) as he feared them, he doesn't want them to rule his life.
That is very interesting, thank you for sharing!
@@ConverseWithMe Charles Baudelaire's most famous work is "Fleurs du Mal" (Flowers of the evil), a poem compilation (missing the exact English word lol) of poems divided into multiples sections. He was one of the first to write poetry about "not noble" things like death, ugliness or humain vice. Like, he has a whole poem in which he compares a dead animal's body to a young woman (Une Charogne). Because he wrote about themes outside of traditional peotry, Baudelaire got sued and had to remove multiple poems (2 of those including lesbian stuff)
In "Fleurs du Mal", Baudelaire tries to escape from "spleen" and to find an "ideal",, notably through drugs and alcohol which allowed him to access "artificial paradises" (paradis artificiels in French)
@@poyo0000 Really interesting, thank you! And was the word you were looking for "anthology"?
@@sasukesarutobi3862 Oh yeah probably, thank you !
I listen to "I thought you wanted to dance" unhealthily much
Me too
Samee & rise
Same and runitup
me with juggernaut and wusyaname
SAME
honestly, as a rap fan this is his best album. I think it’s interesting analyzing different audiences and demographics who listen to this album and where they rank it. a lot of pop lovers always put IGOR at the top but tbh I think this shows so much in terms of versatility in producing, composing, singing, rapping and just creative imagery in general.
Imo this is his best album too
Alotta tyler fans are just igor fans only sadly
But this album had everything good about his previous two albums mixed with some good fuckin rapping
Perfection imo
Some parts of the album has that grim hiphop sound like wu tang,mobb deep and griselda then some parts have that mellow softcore igor/flowerboy esque beats borderline the album has shit for everyone I personally am a boombap fan and I loved every song
@@A.R.V_02 Yes! I completely agree with your best parts statement. I just think it’s funny for people who don’t truly understand a culture to give opinions and rankings on it. That’s like if I wasn’t a soul music head and listened to a Teddy Pendergrass album and called it ass. Ya sometimes gotta do research to understand things. Hopefully this album prompted fans of Tyler to truly understand us references as an artist and dig into the culture more. This just may be coming from someone who, although young, appreciates the steps people before me took so I could fully enjoy masterpieces like CMIYGL.
@@queendism I am with you on this one man
Many of his fans just don't understand the hiphop culture
@@A.R.V_02 I get hip-hop culture(to an extend and stilk feel like Igors better. Thi CMIYGL is still great.
@@aarondx3764 dats cool man
I am not saying it's wrong to like igor I just said that alotta igor fans are pop fans or alt e girls and boys lmfaooo
MASSA has to be my favorite, second verse is just so amazing.
Its my fav too. The second verse is a gem
Here I was thinking Baudelaire came from Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events.
Heck, I still believe there's a link somewhere.
youre not alone my boy
@@mrolliepoper 😎🤝😎
I thought that initially too! Definitely could be a link somewhere
pretty sure it is cause a couple years ago he posted about a series of unfortunate events on his story
this
"Call me if you get lost" is a master piece, I can't wait to see him in concert next year
Flower boy was a masterpiece not this shit
I always forget how creatively gifted tyler is in terms of attention to detail and making sure that everything in his videos or songs have their own meanings that all tie to the central theme
The cover doesn’t page homage to ODB as he’s said before that’s just how the IDs looked back in the days. Some fan tried to put those 2 together especially after the comparisons of Wu Tang and Odd Future being rap groups who said what they wanted and acted equally as outrageous.
^ was just about to comment that
i love how everyone is trying to link this cover to ODB but nobody really said anything when Aminé dropped his first single of Limbo, Shimmy, which was an actual direct reference to ODB, both in cover art and in terms of the song itself💀
@@xak9687 I think it’s because that was an obvious reference to ODB by sampling his song and lyrics. Tyler doesn’t reference him once so it’s more ambiguous. Speaking of ODB samples have you ever heard Ole Dirty Bastard by B.o.B?
My only complaint is your videos are too short. Loved your analysis on Mac after his passing and the video on Schoolboy Q's Oxymoron. Your editing work is on par with big budget channels with teams of people trying to do what your doing perfectly. Keep up the work. Its evident you love what you're doing and all I've seen is positive feedback.
Thank you for the kind words! You got it, everything is created by me which takes a while. I have so many topics I want to talk about for new videos, so I try not to keep them too long.
Wow, that’s crazy, came to the comments to see what people thought, saw this and then realised this wasn’t a big channel. The production on this is amazing especially for someone doing it solo. Keep grinding man, it’s legit a matter of time. And I reiterate, WOW.
@@mugen-PT i really just agree
- Travel card / not ID
- ODB had a foodstamp card
- Boudelaire isn't an italian name, it's french
- "It's just another chapter in the book" means that the time he had with the girl wasn't lost, but just another chapter in his book. Book as in life.
Great video though! I really loved the visuals too
- I mean passport if I ever mention ID within the video
- This one was harder to express because although Baudelaire is a French name, it’s an Italian travelling persona. His Instagram locations are always in “Capri, Italy”
- Makes sense! I wanted to express it in that way, ending of a chapter in the book of life/journey he’s in
I appreciate the creative criticism! Always like to hear what I can improve on
average tyler the creator chad
@@John-fb6fb true
@@ConverseWithMe don't expect Tyler to know the difference between Italian and French high class culture. It all fits into the "European old money" grand Budapest type aesthetic
@@reinjouke9743 that's very sad
Actuallyyyyyyyyy In hot wind blows he says “a young lady just fed me FRENCH vanilla ice cream” 😂👏
yup yup
My favorite track was CORSO it showed me early on that this album is not what i expect it to be
Mine too! I have to listen to it at least 2 times before moving on lol.
Charles Baudelaire's most famous work, Les Fleurs du mal, also relates to his branding Golf Le Fleur. Great video, keep up the good work.
I love how he keeps people on their toes by switching up the gender of the character he has a crush on in the albums 🤣🤣
The people he talks abt in his albums are the people in his life
personally every tyler album needs to be listened with a different perspective. they are all different and have different characters and vibes. EVERY SINGLE TYLER ALBUM IS THE BEST ALBUM! they are all unique and amazing
Loved your analysis on what I think is the album of the year thus far. What I love about this album is that it has a theme and takes listeners on an adventure. The colours used in the accompanying imagery is almost just as apparent in his production and lyrics. In my opinion, this was Tyler's most personal project and really helped me connect to him and understand his evolution. Great video!
tyler said himself that the cover isn’t based from ODB
source?
source: trust me bro
literally check his twitter
Tbh I was a huge Tyler / OF fan when Yonkers dropped and for the buzzing years that followed. I didn't really understand Bastard when it dropped, at least the concept of it. I knew it was creative but it more or less seemed like a silly way to wrap the project up with skits. I didn't really understand the underpinnings that made the album so unique until years later and albums later. I didn't pay as close attention to what Tyler was doing but I would still tune in. Now after all these years I understand that Tyler is about as close to a method rapper (like a method actor) that I have seen in years. He uses these characters to show off different parts of himself and it's through the contrast with his public persona, his character, AND his ACTUAL self that fans connect to him. It's really interesting to think about and I wonder if Tyler had this sort of grand plan imagined all the way back when OF was still one young group of artists or if it's more so something that developed as he experimented with different sounds. Either way with this album and Tyler's consistent track record he's proven himself over and over again at being whole heartedly deserving the title of 'artist'. I love that Tyler doesn't show fear in experimenting with different sounds and imagery with his projects but leans into these characters and aesthetics. All the while he plays these roles you can tell that Tyler is still himself all along. It's not an easy feat to accomplish for any artist to even flirt with these different styles without the public perception of the artist themselves changing and not the thing that they are making. I hope that makes sense. Basically I'm saying Tyler is a bit of a genius.
I like this album cuz he just talks his shit. Love that
Theory: the world he travels is in his head and the characters/locations are different personas or versions of himself growing as a person
Tyler just hates that he shares a last name with the father that abandoned him
I don’t really wanna rank Tyler’s albums. I just appreciate them all for what they are. I guess that’s the benefit of such an artistic approach. It would be a shame to rank it/critique it, because it’s so good.
igor still number one 😩
🎯
Found this channel yesterday and i’ve been on a binge. Great content :)
For me, the only reason this isn’t my favorite album is that the pacing is slightly off at the end
i thought the pacing of the whole album was a little weird. every other album goes into the next song pretty well, especially igor and flower boy. pacing is big for me ik terms of the entire album appreciation. like j cole shi. the album was mid bc of the transitions, to me tho
Personally i see Tyler being more honest to himself in this album, i have to say that this album really grew on me, i hated it on the first listen, but i think its an album that grows on you after some listens, i would put it in 3rd rank, below Igor and Flower boy but above wolf, just because we get to see him more maturely here.
It definitely took me a few listens as well! The album overall is amazing and I'd also put it in my top 3 for Tyler.
WHATAIRHRJRIRGEHR YOU PUT IT ABOVE WOLF
BRO HOW
@@a.e.i2409 Its really just subjective, i liked it more than wolf because i felt tyler grew out of that edgy phase, i still love wolf and in a good day i would say its better than CMIYGL, but you do you, music is really subjective.
@@rufuswholsten lol I can def respect that
This YT Channel is underrated.
Aye bruh you finna blow up I’d get ready with more bangers like this ❗️
This editing is crazy good, amazing job and keep at it, you'll be big
this was really well made
Great vid, dude. As a long time Tyler fan since the Goblin/OFWGKTA/Loiter Squad days, I can say with confidence that there has not been a more relatable and inspirational collection of music that has come from Tyler than this most recent one. Of course, everything that preceded CMIYGL built the foundation for the magnitude of the record to be what it was, but this really showcases Tyler's prominence as an artist in a comprehensive way. He's not only become a beautiful lyricist, but also producer and person. It's truly an honor to live in a time where we can witness this growth.
Great video bro keep doing what you're doing
Igor is still personally better but honestly Tyler’s had an amazing 3 album run.
*6
@@waddalup6436 No, his earlier albums are not as good as his last three. Production wise and lyric wise Flower Boy, Igor and CMIYGL are his best work. They were good but not excellent like his last ones.
@@mannyoftheeast3318 *6
@@mannyoftheeast3318 you're clearly a new fan the only time T's kinda sorta missed is with cherry bomb
@@jeffpesos420 cherry bomb was viewed as a lesser album because it was a mashup of different genres. Tyler said in an interview it was meant to throw you off and it's one of his favourite albums he made (This was because flower boy I think so it might of changed). Also all of Tyler's music is good so all the other people saying 3 good albums should just stop
Love the instrumentals in the background of the whole video
Awesome editing on this!!!
The quality of your videos is incredible. Really well done, you can tell a lot of work went into the visuals.
Just subbed love the editing excited to see what you talk about next
Your videos are awesome, man!
I've never seen Tyler like this. He's at his best after being lost - Flower boy IGOR he started really introspecting. Now he knows himself and to see that reflect in his words, chords, videos is immaculate to say the least. This is no. 1 and the whole album is played start to finish like Endless so there is no favourite.
Wow your editing is top notch
This a fire vid bro. good job
Very well put together video love it!
You are one of my favourite channels on RUclips man. Such quality videos every time
This channel is deep fire. Glad I found it. Cheers!
This video was beautifully made.. thanks
Your animations are so good bro! Keep it up!
Ima just comment for the algorithm. Great video man
so good -- thanks for the content!
the ID card wasn't actually intended to be a ODB reference but old passports or smth.
Same thing*
@@timkayjr2958 something*
Thank You African Rose
Dude the editing is superb, nice video btw, personally liked the album myself.
your video editing and story telling skills are insane dude. first video ive seen from you and im already a lifelong fan
Great editing!
Thanks man I was wondering when an explanation vid abt is album was gonna come
Great video
Great video! Very interesting
This video was so good dude
You're breakdown is exquisite. *subscribed
LOVE UR VIDS
YOOOOOOOO GREAT VIDEO
Jeez the graphics in this video were amazing
j saw the circles vid on my feed your a goat man keep it up
I didn't click with this album for a while and only recently, just before he released the estate sale I started listening again to give it another shot and next thing I know, I can't stop listening to the album, especially with the new tracks! One of my favourite things about Tyler's albums is that he has such cohesion with the style and theme of his albums. When you listen to the whole album in order, you can appreciate the transitions between songs and it's so rewarding. With some other artists, their albums just feel like a bunch of disconnected songs together in one album. Tyler is so God damn talented and I feel honoured to witness his rise. Speaking of rising up, that's one of my favourite songs of the album lol
Great analysis
I love CMIYGL with all my heart. it’s crazy how IGOR is still my favorite, but CMIYGL is top tier for me
This video is amazing
I love this album and RISE is probably my favorite track from it!
Cherry Bomb was the iffiest album to me, but I STILL blast that shit in a certain mood. Tyler had expanded over so many feels for me that I put on his albums for specific trips, both mentally and physically. He’s got an air around him that vibes with my Life and each album is like a different scent/perfume of his. All Love to him and every fan of any song 🤟🏾
bro this man is amazing istg hes so creative and inspiring, his music is fucking awesome like how is a human able to produce such beautiful music
I like to think there's also an element of travel in this album because of the current climate and how travelling hasn't been possible or easy lately, so there's like a fantasy of travel and a fear, but T is saying Call Me if You Get Lost as some reassurance, not just for actual travel, but also the fantasy of it. That was just another take I had. Sick video by the way, I really liked it
Excellent evaluation with awesome visuals. I dismissed Tyler early on but his talent is undeniable. Call me if you get lost is a hip hop masterpiece. It has everything. Every track is 🔥, it includes potential classics, it drops gems of knowledge, he takes chances, and the rhyming is on point. My favorites are Corso and Hot Wind Blows.
I died laughing listening to him read DJ Drama’s verse so plainly
I listened to call me if you get lost when it first released back in 2021, i was 17 years old at the time listening to it on a long bus ride. The entire theme of travel definitely stuck out me (as i was literally traveling when first listening to it), but as I’ve matured, gone through puberty, and found a bit more confidence, each time i listen the lyrics ring more and more true; it feels like he has captured this special feeling of growing through pure experience. Truly a timeless album and im so proud of Tyler for getting to this point.
you deserve more subscribers
I don’t know why but this video made me emotional. I’m in the same place as Tyler when it comes to to living to be your full self!
This the first album I actually listen to start to finish from him and it didn’t disappoint
yoooo how good is this video?!
This was so smooth to watch and so informative at the same time ! Thank you
great video, btw how did you make the screenshots look like paintings?
Motion graphics my dude, motion graphics. Big up for nailing my interests in design and Tyler’s music in one video, I appreciate you.
great breakdown. I'm barley getting off of Igor. I've been on Igor since it came out, but it wasn't until last year, I was fresh out of a breakup I listened to it heavy. However, it wasn't until this past January I was actually living the album. I had a crush on a new person but they ended up not choosing me. It was then I UNDERSTOOD and felt Igor. Now I am entering a new season. Mizz Baudelaire.

Well done
This is probably one of my favourite albums by Tyler. LUMBERJACK is my favourite song from the album
This video is FANTASTIC, thank you! (Though I will say as a native Angeleno, the pronunciation of "Wilshire" made me astral project lol.)
i saw someone wearing converse today
i really need them shoes
This was a greatly explained theory.
2nd best album hes made and my favorite song on CMIYGL is Wilshire.
Wilshire is beautiful and raw
same wilshire is very very good i listen to it everyday. But i’m not a local i don’t sure what wilshire means, does Urban dictionary’s correct?
mine too!
Yea same, he’s just storytelling and I love it
@@itzalayahzworld4199 best story telling imo. I think this is the definition of story telling in a song.
First Tyler album I listen to, thouigh it was pretty awsome shit. Suppose I should get to Igor now? Nice vid by the way man ;)
This is my second favorite Tyler album personally!
This is hard
Goated channel
what kind of editing software did you use these visuals are awesome!
What's Tyler's best album?
Call Me If You Get Lost, Igor and Flower Boy would all be correct answers!
You forgot Bastard, Goblin, Wolf, and Cherry Bomb.
@@sickfitz4256 cherry bomb was his weakest :/
@@kylesprite1877 bro trust me, the more you listen to it the better it gets
@@prod.rhodamine W tyler has said multiple times his favourite album of his is Cherry Bomb if i didn't have a personal emotional link to IGOR my ranking would go Cherry Bomb IGOR CMIYGL Wolf Flower Boy
Wolf is the best easily
I watch this type of videos before i listen to any album bc i want to be able to understand it,thats why "to pimp a butterfly" is my favorite album.
I can’t believe he sampled atmosphere. I’m so glad I know this now
I though you wanted to dance, is gentle and sounds like a kiss in your ear. It is just beautiful.
I reacted to your video love to have your feedback and support bro and keep up the great work
i think that all of tylers work has always been amazing and yes call me if you get lost was the best, but flower boy is where he really "blossomed" ;)
This album came out for me at such an amazing time considering a few days before "Call me If You Get Lost" dropped I started my journey traveling the world :)
Really good video Converse With Me
I got distracted by the level of editing... man you are good at this shit
