Music Tyler, The Creator

[Solius]

Anyone else hyped for his new album?

Based on the singles it sounds like it's gonna be brilliant. 911/Mr. Lonely is probably one of my favourite songs of the year and the production on everything so far is really good.

I've always felt his stuff was a bit hit and miss but it seems he's finally settled on a sound and the other aspects like the lyrics and prod are way better than anything he's done before imo.

It's actually been leaked but I'll wait until tomorrow for it to be on Spotify.

Recently listened to Who *** Boy and 911/Mr Lonely. Dude is hilarious, makes creative shit, good beats, good flow. Would love to see him live. Instantly impressed.

 

[Solius]

Yeah he's pretty funny to follow on Twitter too.

His cover/sampling go Kanye in freestyle 4 is fantastic, but albums have too much shite on them for me to appreciate fully. Good signs for this new one though.

 

[Solius]

Album is brilliant. One of my favourites this year.

Where This Flower Blooms, See You Again, Who *** Boy, Boredom, 911/Mr Lonely and November are my faves. I Ain't Got Time as well.

 

[altodevil]

Signs were right. He's done away with a lot of the filler crap, album is great. Fantano likes it too, which is a big shocker.

Now I have to listen to it. That is one hard to impress guy, unless it's some sort of black metal drone.

 

[SilentWitness]

It's dope.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

That song with Jaden Smith is pretty good.

 

[DWelbz19]

It's quite good, yeah. I much prefer this to uber-edgy Cherrybomb and I'm-an-awkward-twat Wolf. Finally concentrated himself down into a very good project.

 

[RobinLFC]

Great new album. Loving See You Again and Boredom so far but need to listen to the whole album a couple more times first.

 

[Solius]

I cannot stop listening to this album. Currently obsessed with this song.

 

[Solius]

He's done a tiny desk concert, so good.

Now I know where the Tyler crying meme comes from.

 

[sullydnl]

Has a new album out.

Also, allowed back in the UK again:

I was just thinking what an unbelievably stupid, regressive, pointless, indefensible decision it was to ban him for the content of his lyrics when I saw that it was made by Theresa May. Checks out.

[Nickosaur]

Liking what i'm hearing on IGOR so far.

 

[SilentWitness]

I like the production on the new album, just wish he rapped more.

 

[stu_1992]

Like the new album a lot. I get what people when people say they want more rapping, but personally I find the production so good and interesting that it wasn't a problem for me.

 

[Solius]

Grown on me so much. I did originally want more rapping but I love it for what it is.

Really enjoying I THINK. The production is great, and that beat coming back in at the end

 

[GBBQ]

Really liking this album, GONE, GONE / THANK YOU is such a catchy cheesy tune

 

[SilentWitness]

Tickets for two London shows in September go on sale tomorrow.

 

[Solius]

Seeing him at Gov Ball

 

[Solius]

The beat switch in Running Out Of Time

 

[Solius]

Just saw him at Gov Ball. So good! The crowds at festivals are embarrassing though. I swear half of them were leaving midway through and others didn’t even know the words.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Great album but not for anything that he does on it. Pretty weird in that regard.

? So it’s not great as he produced it all.

 

[JB08]

Can anyone explain this guy to me? I don’t get what kind of music he makes. I’m not really a fan of what I’ve heard so far (the new album) but everyone seems to think he’s great. I don’t understand him really.

I didn’t realise that sorry. Looking at the writing credits too there’s very few co-writers compared with a lot of albums these days.

I more meant the rapping faded into the mix and was forgettable but the music was great overall.

He basically started out as this edgy rapper and a lot of his lyrics were very controversial. He’s grown up and released Flower Boy last year which was amazing and his most polished album (I’d suggest listening to that to start).

He produces and writes all of his music which is unheard of really and his production is so good. He’s kinda dorky and can’t really sing but he embraces it and has great stage presence. Deep cool voice for rapping too and the way he raps i think is quite accessible, he changes flows and switches beats up really well.

Even as a Tyler fan it took me a good few listens to really get Igor but I think it’s a fantastic album that also tells a story. The production is unreal.

 

[Solius]

New album coming soon probably.

 

[stu_1992]

The new song caught me off-guard. I was expecting more of a evolution of the Igor sound and there was some talk, as well as some snippets to back it up, that it would be more jazz influenced.

Then I get blasted in the ears with that! I liked it a lot and I've gone back to listen a few times now so that's a good sign. But I wasn't prepared for a more old school sound from him. Certainly a throwback to earlier albums, although less immature lyrics.
