Tyler, the Creator & Frank Ocean’s Cars: A Guide to Their European Classics
It's no secret that Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean both have a deep love for cars, but we can't get over their love for specific 80s, 90s, and 2000s European cars with roots in racing. Cars that have adorned the racetracks, podiums and vintage car ads of past decades, from touring and rallying to endurance racing.
Make no mistake, musicians showcasing their favorite cars is no new feat, but there is a common underlying theme to the cars that Tyler and Frank display in their music and artwork. Acting as representations for moments in their lives, every one is used as vehicles (no pun intended) for storytelling - often referring to emotions, people, places and self. The legendary BMW E30 M3 for Frank's 'Nostalgia, Ultra' cover, the plethora of European Le Mans racers in Frank's video for 'Nikes', or even the resurgence of Italian rally racers in Tyler's videos for his latest album 'Call Me If You Get Lost'.
A quick listen to both of their discographies will reveal generous references to cars from Bimmers and Jags, to McLarens and Ferraris.
Dive into the minds of these avant-garde artists, and learn about the iconic Euro cars that Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean call their own.Read more
