"Radicals" is a song by American rapper Tyler, The Creator from his second studio album Goblin. Tyler has stated that the song has had a major influence on rebellious teenagers who have heard it, partially due to it's chorus "kill people, burn shit, fuck school".^[1]

Overview

Tyler has said that the song is two songs put together. The two movements can be dubbed "Radical" and "Let 'Em Go" due to the lyrics in those two halves of the song. The other giveaway that it is two songs in one is that the title, "Radicals", is a plural, rather than "Radical", the singular.

The 7-minute song contains the use of the word "fuck" 95 times, with multiple uses of the words "shit" and "nigga" also.

In an interview with DJ Semtex, Tyler stated that he wanted to make a video for the song, but most likely wouldn't be able to as he wanted it to include him blowing some things up.^[2]

At Odd Future's show in Seattle on October 4, 2011, Tyler dedicated the track to deceased Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.^[3]

The line, "kill people, burn shit, fuck school," is reprised from the track, "Pigions," by Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, The Creator.

Music video

Tyler has confirmed on his Formspring account that he will film a music video for the song in 2012.^[4]
