This is unreal good. His output since Cherry Bomb has been fantastic. Insane 4 album run right now. Darling, I definitely should be huge
Went through most of his solo stuff over the last week, def not me. Really respect his vision and commitment for his projects but yea not for me.
I really don’t get what more Tyler has to do to start having his name thrown around more in GOAT conversations. He’s infinitely more deserving of that top 3 spot than J Cole lmao
I enjoy the majority of the last few albums but don't love any of them all the way through. First listen of this, to me, is already his best by a wide margin
I think there’s a scent of “immaturity” that follows Tyler around imo. Which is really stupid. And J Cole is treated as some kind of thoughtful elevated hip hop. Makes no sense tbh.
Basically if you wanna listen to him these days you can just ignore the wannabe edgelord stuff pre-(Scum Fuck) Flower Boy right? I've never given his stuff a fair shake for whatever reason, probably because of the associated wannabe edgelord stuff, maybe I've been missing out?
I honestly like a lot of Wolf and Cherry Bomb but yeah he starts to become really good at Flower Boy so I’d start there, work forwards and then maybe backwards after if you want more
I’m breaking the seal 1. Igor 2. Lost 3. Chroma 4. Flower 5. Bastard 6. Goblin 7. Wolf 8. Cherry with this new one having potential to be top 2 for me
I did a listen to his whole discography before the new one came out and this was my rankings of everything Igor Call Me If You Get Lost Flower Boy Wolf Cherry Bomb Goblin Bastard I remember I initially put cmiygl like below flower boy but then the more I listened I moved it up
CMIYGL is my 1. the “I might buy a boat” lyric/beat drop is like…..top ten music moments of the last 5 years for me
It's not really necessary to check out the early stuff unless you're really hurting for more music from him and can handle the slurs. I definitely wouldn't revisit Bastard or Goblin if you don't have a history with them. WOLF and Cherry Bomb are kind of transitional and have moments to love.
Drew is baiting me so I have to: Flower Boy Call Me If You Get Lost IGOR (Chromakopia, likely to change) Cherry Bomb Wolf Bastard Goblin Give or take, he pretty much just keeps improving imo
