Bastard is the debut album of rapper and producer Tyler, The Creator. It was released on Christmas Day, 2009. In the album’s intro, the listener is introduced to Tyler’s therapist, “Dr. TC”: Well, Tyler, hi, I’m Dr. TC and um, I’m guessing that your teacher sent you here to talk ‘cause you were misbehaving Um, it’s gonna be three sessions: today, tomorrow, and the next day So, just tell me something about yourself… Tyler talks about his hatred for his father, relationships, and the most controversial topic that carried over to his major label debut, Goblin: rape. Most people weren’t fond of Tyler’s lyrics, to the point where he was banned from the UK for the vulgar lyrics from this project and Goblin.
