Tyler, the Creator - Chromakopia (October 28th, 2024) Album • Page 8

I'd say there's a difference and a line crossed between talking your shit and putting your mother on the album, unloading family revelations, and theming your album around said revelations, in order to conjure a specific narrative/message about yourself. Besides the fact that it's contrived and simplistic, it shuts out the listener from interpretation and just makes your art into a flat object or...well, feeling like a promotional campaign for "Tyler, the Person." It's a "valid" way to do things I guess but it kills any replay value for me. I wonder about the Kendrick influence because his worst music and impulses kind of trend in a similar direction.

 

This might be my favorite Tyler album

 

Yeah, I feel like we're on different planets lol but I respect you explaining further

 

Love that the Swifties finally decided to target an artist that will actually fight back lol

 

I’d be so annoyed if I found out my copy of the record didn’t have “Balloon” on it.

 

Balloon is such a banger

 

Balloon's beat is so fuckin goofy and whimsical it's great, and Doechii going hard over it makes it even better

 

Big Bag is honestly a banger from that Grinch EP

 

grinch ep and the spider-verse Christmas ep stay on rotation

 

Tyler needs to put bastard on streaming services

 

Hey Jane is such a great track

 

I Killed You reminds me so much of Point and Kill by Little Simz, such a dope song

 

Chromakopia
Flower Boy
Wolf
Igor
Cherry Bomb
Call Me If You Get Lost
Bastard
Goblin

 

CMIYGL bottom three???

 

what dj drama does to a mf

 

Westside Gunn put out a version of Still Praying without DJ Drama on it and I'm like what kind of chumps is this for

 

westside gunn voice is already such a selective type of listener that it makes it funny he did a dj drama less version of it

 

honestly I am going back and forth cause I think it is better than Cherry Bomb as a whole, I just love the highs on CB and there’s a bit of nostalgia attached. Call me If You Get Lost is probably more consistent but I just never gave it many spins admittedly so maybe I should

 

I agree that Cherry Bomb is underrated, it's just crazy rare to see CMIYGL not in someone's top three. I respect having this as your number one though, love to see it

 

CMIYGL would be pretty far down on my list aswell. it just gets really grating at a certain point

 

Top 2 for me

 

this really has me back on the Tyler train after falling off a bit the last few years. forgot how fucking hard WHAT THE FUCK RIGHT NOW goes
