Sorry, last post - this is unreal good lol. IGOR is special but I think this is better. Might not top Flower Boy, but it's top three of his easy. What a record.
I've been playing CORSO and MANIFESTO all night non-stop. This might end up being my favorite Tyler album with a few more listens. I really fuck with the direction he went production wise.
Holy shit, I've been of the opinion that each Tyler album has been better than the last (but I love all of them) but for some reason I didn't expect that trend to continue here but I honestly think it might have. This was my strongest first listen to an album in a WHILE, this is easily his best rapping ever and his production just keeps getting better. His lyricism and storytelling on here is at a new level too. All of the features fucking bring it too, and I was so happy to see him putting Domo on again This is basically like a mix of Wolf and Flower Boy to me and he fucking nails it
are my headphones busted or is the master on this really off, like songs get louder and softer multiple times within a single verse??
Looking at Tyler's discography I see no misses. After IGOR I don't know what I was expecting from him next, but this might be his best "pure hip hop" record
This definitely doesn't abandon the IGOR sound as much as I initially thought. Sweet scratches that itch quite well, if not for a little too long. Feeling this album a lot this morning.
Production on this is perfect, really feels like he's reached new heights there. It's like cherry bomb but I can hear what's happening much clearer.
Loving this. Agreed that it's doing what Cherry Bomb tried to do. Except you don't need to turn your speakers up to 100 just to hear the track
I'd have to really sit and think if I like it more than Igor or not but regardless it's really fuckin good And as someone who was turned off by Tyler in the early parts of his career, Manifesto really hits. He definitely has grown over the years and it shows. And honestly his growth sort of make going back to his early stuff a bit more palatable to me, knowing where he ends up.
