The trailer opens with an image of Sam, easily distinguishable by his green beanie, cigarette and white T. LetвЂ™s take a look at the trailer, and what we know. So itвЂ™s only right that the vision behind WOLF is finally being realised in the form of a cinematic output. Tyler has also spoken on numerous occasions about the record being inspired by films, and what sort of images each song conjures up, whether thatвЂ™s listening to Slater while riding a BMX, or sitting beside a lake. The liner notes for the album read: вЂњWOLF / Original Screenplay / Wolf Salem Slater _ / A _ By Wolf HaleyвЂќ, with the blanks presumably filled in by Sam and Film, respectively. It was a vision that was intended to be experienced not just through a beat pumping pair of headphones. More than anything though, when the narrative, visuals and soundscapes of the record were combined, WOLF felt like much more than a record. Which, in a world perpetuated by lyric videos and kush infused stills, is a welcome breath of air. All directed by Tyler, under his Wolf Haley pseudonym, each one has been creatively and aesthetically inventive, showcasing not only a strong knowledge of cinematography, but with particular reference to вЂњIFHYвЂќ, a desire to create a piece of visual art. A guest directing spot on Earl SweatshirtвЂ™s вЂњWoahвЂќ had us questioning how Tyler could create cinematography unlike any of the Rap 2.0 pack, and on the Kanye-appreciated and yellow-hued вЂњIFHYвЂќ, he cemented his position as both a prolific director and out of the box thinker. Over the past year his videos have provoked deserved discussion: вЂњDomo 23вЂќ with its beautifully purple tinged Frank Ocean featuring closer вЂњBimmerвЂќ made us ask first, вЂњWTF? A wrestling match?вЂќ and later, вЂњWill the rest of the album sound and look as beautiful as this?вЂќ. Unlike anyone else that Kendrick wants Flex to drop bombs on, Meek Mill, A$AP, even Drake, the guy so moist he probably comes out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his head, Tyler is an artist with a complex creative vision. We see Sam specifically tell Wolf to leave Salem the fuck alone, tying together the majority of storyline elements that forum fiends have spent the past few months pondering. ItвЂ™s got Sam and Wolf in the same scene for the first time. Now, with the release of the below trailer, the conspiracy theory вЂ“ which Tyler pretty much proved when he decided to tweet about it вЂ“ is pretty much a factual theory. (It would take forever to write it all out again, and I canвЂ™t be bothered to get into it now, so if you havenвЂ™t read it yet, hereвЂ™s The Conspiracy TheoristвЂ™s Guide To Tyler, The CreatorвЂ™s WOLF Trilogy, which includes everything you need to know about the greatest rap story ever.) In equal parts confusing and exciting, the story essentially boiled down to the foundation of every great story ever, a love triangle, between Tyler, Sam, and a girl called Salem.

The record contained an expansive narrative, which revealed a storyline dating back as far as Goblin and Bastard. When Tyler the CreatorвЂ™s WOLF was released, it was clear that some sort of grandiose story line was bubbling beneath the immediate surface of TylerвЂ™s back catalogue.
