Question about "theory" behind Tyler, The Creator - AssMilk (Beat Changes)

In the song, the beat alternates between a "nice" piano melody to an "evil" vibe.

Is the song in key throughout, or does it not follow music theory in the traditional sense?
 
Nice lyrics, not!

However the key stuff is quite brutal and does change;

Sweetness and Light is in Ab Major (Ab Bb C Db Eb F G Ab)

AbMaj7 - Bbm7 Cm7 - Bbm7 - AbMaj7 - (I7 - ii7 iii7 - ii7 - I7) - [AbCEbG - BbDbFAb CEbGBb - BbDbFAb - AbCEbG]

Dark and hellish is in Ab minor (Ab Bb Cb Db Eb Fb [Gb] G Ab <- this is the harmonic minor scale with an extra Gb for the Abminor7 chord)

Abmin7 - Gdim7 - FbMaj7 - Eb7 - (i7 -viio7 - bVI7 - V7) - [AbCbEbGb - GBbDbFb - FbAbCbEb - EbGBbDb]

Thanks bandcoach once again for the informative posts and replies to my questions, haha.

Great to get an in-depth look into my questions. :)

I didn't get a chance to thank you for helping me with the Lloyd song a few weeks back since I don't go on the forums that much.
