![]() ![]() ![]() The fact that this is my second time writing about the rhetorical ethics of OFWGKTA’s discourse may have already signalled that I find the problematic nature of it compelling. However, I’m going to argue that by placing both GOBLIN and BASTARD within a narrative frame, Okonma (the creator of the Creator, if you will) offers a clear response to our moral questions and achieves a notable artistic feat to boot: he tells a captivating and terrifying story through music. GOBLIN, the latest release from founding OFWGKTA member Tyler, the Creator, has drawn a number of negative reactions thanks to what many perceive as Tyler “doubling down” on the lyrical and aesthetic content of 2009’s BASTARD without adequately addressing the moral questions (such as mine) that have been raised about that content.
