Another five billion to Israel

Discussing Tyler the Creators best album Chromakopia

I’m trynna
Rah them tah tahs

sorry

Wrong, that’s Igor

dont you wait on me
i’ll be fine

That corny nigga not ruining this album

Just finished my first listen

Hmmmmmm

She rah on my tah til I tah

I am serious I got this over Igor

Igor great too and probably 2

Tomorrow is beautiful

im not trying to overintellectualize but IGOR->CMIYGL was a pretty big evolution of tyler's persona from feeling like a monster due to vulnerability (extremely compressed view of it but still) to this idea of traveling around with this elevated lifestyle only to end up still feeling lost due to personal qualms

at the end of CMIYGL he has safari (which is very literally a journey) discussing new freedoms but still being true to roots. this isn't "literal" per-se but there's a clearer evolution from CMIYGL->CK than there is prior album sequencing.
Like if at the end of CMIYGL he finds freedom, than Chromakopia is the new world he finds himself in as the freer "St Chroma" , but series of events in the sequencing of the album (i.e. paranoia, which he's always had) shows him there's not only cracks in his freedom, he hasn't actually escaped he's traveled that far and beneath the mask (literal too, but also for the St Chroma character), he still hasn't really accepted the reality of his life

think about it conceptually like "Call me if you get lost" -> "i hope you find yourself". before he's traveling around trying to find meaning and define himself in his actions and environment. but then once he's home, he's still searching and traveling - just internally rather than externally. even the outro being "i hope you find your way home" is kind of a callback to the being "lost" in CMIYGL.

I AM THAT NIGGA AND THAT B****

That s*** was fyeeee

non binary bars
in his cells like the best arc of DBZ

I probably got this at 2 tbh, feel like Igor was just flawless

What makes this stand out over Igor to you

will forgive her for this cause of the verse

vulnerability bars, cohesiveness, great use of features

well looks like i keep winning

If he stops using those sounds nobody in music will use them, so i hope he doesnt stop

it is sincerely well deserved but i do hope for her next album that she breaks out of the "tde woman" box that people have put her in

I know Tyler can rap when he wants to

I am not consistently heartbroken enough to keep Igor in infinite rotation and when heartbroken Weeknd and Ye got me as well as rnb

Fair

Feel like the production is the limiting factor for me
