AOTY easily
Tyler been on a nice run. Cut out the troll shyt for the most part and lowkey he might be the best producer out....his shyt has layers
I will say prefer the more lush, r&b esque material over the more aggressive hiphop songs
Might be a hot take, but he basically the new Kanye without all the fukkery. He picked up the baton from MBDTF era Ye and has ran with it....so much so that dude can just retire from music, he lost his touch and it ain't coming back. Tyler got this, just concentrate on other shyt
Tyler is NOT the new Kanye
Tyler is a great producer has a nice ear, taste and feel for music. He does his homework but he’ll always be known for copying Neptune’s sound and referencing other older genres as themes/inspiration for his albums/songs
now lately he’s been copying 90s soul/R&B slow jams and putting some nice singers/rappers on it to help create what his fans consider “his sound”
he’s great at bringing a lot different sounds talents together and making them work on his album under his vision with his direction
Kanye does all this too but Kanye is more of an original/innovative artist.
Tyler definitely tries to be like Kanye but
Kanye doesn’t care what his critics think
Kanye isn’t trying to please his fans or peers he’s more of an outlier
No Kanye album sounds like the next and he pushes the envelope so yea he’ll miss occasionally and you think he’s crazy.... he’s just unpolished and not a perfectionist like Tyler
That said Tyler put together a solid album with arguably no bad songs. Salute to him
but there’s no song on this Album that I haven’t heard something like it before in music or on other Tyler albums previously
No song on this album is better than the best song on IGOR or Flowerboy, etc....
lines on on the album are either a joke or for ridiculous shock value(Bieber line) or vague in that you can take it how you want
