Intertextual Reference in 'She'

This is an image of the artwork of Tyler, The Creator's second studio album; 'Goblin'. The chart-topping album was released on 10th May 2011, and is the most successful album released by any OFWGKTA members. Tyler, The Creator often mentions the album title and even creates the chant 'Goblin!' at many of Odd Future's live performances, the album has also been intertextually referenced on occasions in the Collective's music.

This image taken from the first few seconds of 'She' shows a street sign of the fictional neighbourhood the video is set in; 'Nilbog', which noticeable reversed spells 'Goblin' - the title of Tyler, The Creator's album. This is one example of the album's references placed in OFWGKTA videos.
