This juxtaposition of energies – absolute madness and pure serenity – was a theme throughout the show.Īt one point, Tyler performed “Yonkers” and had everyone in the venue on their feet, screaming lyrics about stabbing “Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus.” Then, mere moments later, the ever-talented emcee had the crowd gently swaying and quietly reciting lyrics about stalking a young woman as he performed “She.”
Martens, a white wig and blue shades – began dancing around the stage in a manner that resembled Andy Warhol on speed. Then, as if someone had flipped a switch, the rapper – dressed in a neon green suit paired with white Dr. As the deep bass of “Igor’s Theme” flooded the Armory, Tyler stood still, eyeing up the crowd with a neutral expression on his face. What happened next was something only an artist like Tyler, The Creator is capable of pulling off. Suddenly, Jaden’s biggest song to date, “Icon,” in which he declares himself “an icon living,” began blasting through the speakers.Ĭlearly Jaden’s sentiment was shared by the crowd, because when the wig-clad “Igor” rapper slowly emerged from behind the metallic silver backdrop, the entire building shook under the weight of thousands of jumping fans. “This next song really explains what Tyler is to us,” he said. Jaden came on stage next and had the crowd eating out of his hand with the help of an intricate light show.Īt the end of his set, Jaden took a moment to speak to the crowd. The first opener, GoldLink, proved he is more than just his wavy 2017 hit “Crew” with a high energy set. The opening night of the “Igor” tour was dedicated to the Flower Boy: Tyler, The Creator. From hypebeasts more concerned with getting their hands on coveted “Igor” merch to diehard Tyler, The Creator fans rocking clothes more reminiscent of the Odd Future days, it was plain to see that no one was there to see openers GoldLink or Jaden.
