Tyler, The Creator - ‘CHROMAKOPIA’ (Discussion Thread)

[Flight]

My dawg hates Ian lmao

 

[ThirdAct]

Some Kendrick influence on this one

 

[T-K-G]

kanye doesnt have 1/10th of tylers talent

as somebody who hated tyler 15 years ago, watching him blossom into a true artist has been rewarding as a listener. i didnt really fw him until cherry bomb

i wish he'd break out of that 4/4 mold tho. tyler could make excellent jazz or progressive rock music if he ever wanted to

You completely forgot Kanye already was on a producer run before he even leaned into rap? he's crazy talented it's simply a preference thing with him, actually most of the super producers nikkas are dumb talented so that's a weird take

The difference is simply what they feel like releasing to the public, they both have the ability to make what the other does


I hope you're only talking about music because if we get into the other stuff Kanye won't be surpassed until he fully retires or dies, miles ahead of everyone else when it comes to product design in general

Without the actual hits.

People always been sucker for a creative rollout.

Music don't even need to be entertaining as long as you appear "artistic".

Tyler's music is entertaining. Kanye has literally been all about antics since Yeezus.

No, shyt is ass and I like Tyler

 

[Figaro]

I’m convinced that Tyler’s music is like coffee, people just pretend to like that shyt.

Song is pure ass.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Tyler's music is entertaining.

I find it hard to imagine anyone's going back to these two new songs more than once.

And I really don't think these songs would do anything if he didn't create a character and create this whole aesthetic to rollout the songs and album.

Kanye is the opposite, where despite his antics, his music is able to stand on its own and even chart. Dude just has a better ear for music.

Kanye overall is the better and more legendary artist. I'm not disputing that. But hes been ass for years now and basically been skating on antics.

Is it me or does he sound exactly like Schoolboy Q on this? Lol

Mmmhmm

It’s like having all of the tools to win a championship in sports and getting critical acclaim but never winning one — yet — if it’s even in the cards to win one.

Imagine Kanye’s pre-Yeezus stuff and then staying on the same path but not losing his mind.

Tyler has the vision, discipline, visuals, attention of his audience, peers (and elders) who actually fųck with him but he’s going to have to be content with his lane — and I rock with him.

 

[NerdNash]

I don’t like the song.
