This took like half an hour lol, go stream DONT TOUCH THE GLASS now!
“Big Poe” is the opening track from Tyler, The Creator’s ninth studio album, Don’t Tap the Glass, officially released on July 21, 2025. It kicks off the project with explosive energy, blending rap-rock grit with Tyler’s signature experimental flair. The track features a standout guest verse from Pharrell Williams, making it a reunion of sorts between Tyler and one of his greatest influences. Built around a bold sample from “Pass the Courvoisier, Part II” by Busta Rhymes, the song flips early-2000s hip-hop nostalgia into something raw and futuristic.

Tyler’s vocals are urgent and charged, launching the album into motion with a mission to reject stillness and embrace unfiltered movement. The production is loud and layered: heavy drums, squelchy synths, and chopped-up samples collide into a sonic wall that demands attention. Pharrell’s contribution doesn’t feel tacked on either—his tone matches Tyler’s momentum perfectly, and together they bounce off each other with kinetic chemistry.

Lyrically, “Big Poe” sets the tone for an album that isn’t about overthinking or introspection, but about acting, moving, and feeling in the moment. It’s a celebration of rhythm over reason—dance-floor energy over diary entries. For longtime fans, the track feels like a spiritual successor to some of Tyler’s earlier, more chaotic work, but with the maturity and polish that comes with his current era. It’s both nostalgic and forward-pushing, chaotic and calculated—classic Tyler.
