Tyler, the Creator’s ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’: The 12 Best Lines

Tyler, The Creator told fans on social media that Don’t Tap the Glass doesn’t necessarily have a concept, but did want to encourage “more body movement” with this project. In fact, the album begins with a robotic voice running a down a three item list with the first rule being, “Number one, body movement. No sitting still.”

In a statement he posted to his X account shortly after he made Don’t Tap the Glass available, he mentioned that he has friends that are afraid to dance in public for fear of become a meme and living forever on the Internet. Tyler also said that he played the tape from top to bottom twice for a group of people and had one of the best nights of his life, and again emphasized that he made it so that people can party. “I just got back from a ‘listening party’ for this album and man was it one of the greatest nites of my life. 300 people. No phones allowed. No cameras, just speakers and a sweatbox,” he wrote.

Later adding, “This album was not made for sitting still dancing. Driving, running, any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it. Only at full volume.”

And that’s certainly the spirit of this surprise 10-track album, especially with the album artwork of Tyler paying homage to LL Cool J and hip-hop in general. It’s made for the summertime, it’s made to have fun, and it includes some s—t talking, some stuntin’, and a couple R&B cuts. With that being said, we picked the 12 best lines on Tyler, The Creator’s ninth solo album Don’t Tap the Glass.
