Tyler, The Creator shatters expectations with the release of his new album, Don’t Tap The Glass, today.

Tyler, The Creator’s Don’t Tap The Glass Cracks Open More Hip-Hop Easter Eggs

Last week, Tyler, The Creator began hinting that something was coming on July 21. Usually that means colorful world-building and excellent raps. Through photo teases with the date on his Instagram and X accounts, it felt like the moment was about to be massive. This past Friday, he created a new website called donttaptheglass.com, revealing a new album was on the way. And this morning at 6 a.m. EST, Tyler delivered on his promise.

“Yall better get them expectations and hopes down this aint no concept nothing,” the Cali rapper tweeted yesterday morning. Unlike the concept album Chromakopia, with his masked look that carried over into his sold-out world tour, Don’t Tap The Glass was made with the freedom to move. “Body movement, no sitting still,” he says as one of his three commandments on the album intro “Big Poe.” 10 songs, 28 minutes of two-steppin’ glory. Don’t Tap The Glass is a hip-hop album rooted in dance.

The project is full of hip-hop Easter eggs and Tyler talking big talk with the receipts to back it up. “Ni**a said I lost touch with the regular folk/I ain’t never been regular you ni**as is jokes/What that vest gon’ do, boy, aim at the throat/Got a pocket full of snot, but your spirit is broke,” he raps on “Don’t Tap That Glass/Tweakin’.”

A Swizz Beatz feature and sample of Busta Rhymes’ “Pass The Courvoisier” on “Big Poe.” An interpolation of Too $hort’s “Can’t Blow The Whistle” on “Don’t Tap That Glass/Tweakin’.” “I’ll Take Care of You” includes Crime Mob “Knuck If You Buck” mixed in.

There’s more to tap into, just don’t tap the glass.
