Tyler The Creator Wolf Tour Review

The young and odd came out of the woodwork to see their hip-hop hero, Tyler, the Creator, when he hit up the sold-out Toronto stop of his Wolf tour at the Opera House.
The young all ages crowd, some of which looked like they were in middle school, were decked out in their Golf Wang tees and hats, awaiting their Odd Future hero to emerge onto the creative set that was assembled on stage that included a cabin, bike and a doll’s head on a stick. During the wait, the crowd chanted “Wolf Gang” while a consistent lineup of fans waited to cop more original merchandise from the booth.
The lights went down and Odd Future DJ, Taco Bennett, came out to deafening screams and high-fived the whole front row, before turning up the crowd with a dangerously hype DJ set, spinning tracks from Chief Keef, Waka Flocka and Schoolboy Q. Things got out of hand during the set as the young crowd began a mosh pit as many Wolf Gang fans began to crowd surf. Security had to dive into the sea of people, pulling out the crying and injured who had almost been trampled by the insanity. A young boy even fell into the media pit while crowd surfing, landing on his head and cutting it open on the grate.
Just as the war scene seemed like it couldn’t get more out of hand, Tyler emerged from the side stage, rocking his usual green cap, white knee highs, golf shorts and a white GOLF tee. Accompanied by Odd Future member, Jasper Dolphin he spit tracks “We Got Bitches”, “VCR/Wheels”, “Yonkers” and “Seven” as the sold out crowd spit along to every word, religiously. With his charismatic and comedic charm and trademarked deep voice, Tyler engaged with his fans and even borrowed a fan’s sunglasses, rocking them through part of his set and returning them after jumping around the stage.
To the joy and excitement of his fans, Tyler performed tracks off of his upcoming, highly anticipated album Wolf that dropped this month. He spit full versions of “Bimmer”, “Cowboy”, “Domo 23” and “Awkward” as fans bobbed their heads, taking in every word, visibly pleased with the sound of the new project.
From start to finish, the show was full of unpredictable surprises and Tyler proved that even though he is the biggest comedian in the game, his live shows are no joke.
