My thing with Tyler he is clearly a student of music, but he hasnt introduced any new sounds for me to consider him in the category people put him in.
Me, Tyler, ASAP Rocky, and others in our age range are children of the Limewire age where we were listening to what our parents played, the music of our time, plus getting lost down rabbit holes and discovering a bunch of music outside of what was played in our region.
to me much of Tylers work is just Neptunes x Gap Band tributes with other stuff sprinkled in. Its not a bad thing but I’d like for him to create new sounds to cement his legacy as a musician.
