“SIR BAUDELAIRE,” the intro to Tyler, The Creator’s seventh studio album, introduces us to Tyler Baudelaire, the character Tyler assumes on CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST. Both Tyler himself and the album’s narrator, DJ Drama, refer to Tyler by the name throughout the record.
In “BROWN SUGAR SALMON,” a skit released two days before the album’s full release, servers refer to him by the song’s title when asking him for his food order.
The song was first teased by Tyler as the fourth voicemail on on the CMIYGL phone line on June 19, 2021. Tyler could be heard rapping the song’s whole verse without an instrumental backing.
The instrumental used on this track can also be heard in Westside Gunn’s “Michael Irvin” off of his 2020 album Flygod Is An Awesome God 2.
“SIR BAUDELAIRE” debuted at #59 on the Hot 100 during the charting week of July 10, 2021.
