Bastard is the debut mixtape by American hip hop recording artist Tyler, The Creator of OFWGKTA. The album was self-produced by Tyler, The Creator and was first released on December 25, 2009.[3][4]

Background and content

Throughout the mixtape, Tyler speaks to a character named Dr. TC, who acts as Tyler's therapist and guidance counselor. During the title track, Dr. TC hints at Tyler's second album (2011's Goblin) to be an additional session with him. Dr. TC states there will be three sessions. The songs "Odd Toddlers" and "Slow It Down" were previously released on The Odd Future Tape. A chopped and screwed version by Mike G also exists and was released online.[5]

On the one year anniversary of its original release, the song "Session" was updated, replacing Brandun DeShay's verse with one by Mike G, after Tyler's falling out with DeShay. However the mixtape is now available on Odd Future's online music store with DeShays vocals returning to the track. Tyler plans on re-releasing Bastard in a remastered physical form through their record label Odd Future Records.[6]

Reception

Bastard was ranked #32 on Pitchfork Media's list of the Top 50 Albums of 2010,[7] while the single "French" was ranked #61 on Pitchfork Media's list of the Top 100 Tracks of 2010.[8]
