"Sticky" is a song by American rapper and producer Tyler, the Creator from his eighth studio album, Chromakopia, which features fellow American rappers GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne. It was released through Columbia Records on October 28, 2024. The song contains samples from "Get Up Offa That Thing" by James Brown and "Get Buck" by Young Buck.[1]

## Critical reception

[edit]

The song was well-received by music critics. Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop commented the song has "very interesting features" and "Tyler has decided to hide his feature list, which is taking a page out of the Travis Scott playbook. Either way, it pays off as this will prove to be a nice surprise for a whole lot of fans."[2] Steven Loftin of The Line of Best Fit commented it "bolsters things with a swaggering proverbial dick-swinging, before finding momentum once again after the low point of the meandering "Judge Judy".[3] Consequence's Jonah Krueger called it "as fun-loving and sex-obsessed as Chromakopia gets".[4] Clash's Niall Smith described it as a "mean-mug-worthy Southern rap detour" and part of the "winning streak" in the mid-section of Chromakopia.[5] Jeff Ihaza of Rolling Stone called it the "posse cut of the ages".[6] Writing for Slant Magazine, Paul Attard remarked "when he aims for a straight-up banger, like the pep-rally wannabe 'Sticky,' his try-hard sensibilities—layering in a brass section, a slew of truncated guest features delivering barely considered four-bar verses, and an extended outro—overwhelm any sense of excitement."[7] Pitchfork's Heven Haile commented that "Black women rappers seem to remind Tyler there's more to making music at 33 than uber-serious lyrics", and in regard the song, wrote "The beat is simple; it sounds like he hired a live step team to record background vocals. You can tell he's just elated to be with the girlies and the refrain is destined to cling to your hippocampus."[8] Reviewing the album for HipHopDX, Sam Moore commented "The only time Tyler actually sounds happy is when he hooks up with GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne on 'Sticky,' which he uses to forget about his mental strife for a moment to become raucously playful, going bar for bar with two of Hip Hop's hottest women as they rap about materialism and sex."[9] Dork's Jake Hawkes described the song as "the kind of glorious, multi-layered mess we haven't heard since his Odd Future days – complete with guest verses from GloRilla, Lil Wayne, and Sexy Redd [sic], which give it the off-the-cuff energy of a rap cypher."[10]

## Alternative version

[edit]

On the vinyl and CD test pressing versions of Chromakopia, GloRilla's verse is absent. Instead it was replaced by another verse from Tyler.
