He’s objectively more interesting than Cole at a minimum, also his tours and stage design far surpass everyone at this point, even peak Kanye imo (for reference I’ve seen Yeezus era+Life of Pablo vs Igor and CMIYGL, I think the latter surpassed the others and Igor energy was about even)
Cole has lyrics, but never has had the artistic diversity of his peers, musically he doesn't take risks.
I remember my first time I heard WOLF I hated it and now that I’m listening again it’s not as bad as I imagined it. It’s no where near the flower boy through call me album levels of good but it’s just decent.
Never cared for anything pre Flower Boy tbh, gave some a try recently and still not really into it. IGOR > Flower > Call for the stuff I enjoy
Yeah IGOR is a sick pivot and I love that his career went there and continues to experiment with that sound but Flower Boy is far and away his best work imo
dude puts so much thought and care into every aspect of his music. the artwork, tracklists, videos are all just beautifully considered every time. not surprised at all he finds the thought of someone else doing that for his music to be gross
Finally listening to the new tracks and they really are great. Absolutely loved Stuntman and What a Day. Sorry Not Sorry also really stood out.
