Not everything is a joke, if i punched you in the f***ing face would it b a joke

Influence is one thing and that shouldn't be much of a surprise since Pharrell was basically Tyler's role model. Outside of the influence and DJ Drama being on it, the similarities between all three projects are superficial.

This thread is just KTT tryna discredit Tyler and Call Me If You Get Lost again cause they got some weirdo hate boner for him and the album.

The thing is he’s not just problematic - he is a bootlicker and great deceiver of the masses. The highest of crimes. He’s basically Jay Z level but just more lowkey about it

The aesthetics of this album were luxurious but the album didn’t really feel that way

....yeah y'all just be typing to type itt

every week theres a new hate __ rapper thread on ktt2.

I mean yeah I agree, it doesn’t discredit the album and IMM does have differences

But I think being fair there are similarities to IMM era on CMIYGL, the rapping on a lot of songs like Sir B, Lemonhead, Lumberjack etc is tyler talking his s*** which you can tell is inspired by the way Pharrell was rapping that era. Even some of the beats like Lemonhead I feel like takes inspo from s*** P was doing on like Keep It Playa. And s*** like Blessed and the talking at the start of Massa and Runitup is for sure inspired by the talking on IMM Mixtape and the drama tags of course. So I definitely see what people are getting at

But yeah I agree, IMM does different things than Call Me and it doesn’t discredit either project at all or make them the same

Also s*** like Corso, Juggernaut, Massa is classic tyler

Pharrell is one of my favorite musicians but he does have a llc Twitter/roc nation brunch Twitter type vibe to him

idk about that take but I just find it funny how he went from all this talk about chords and bridges and blah blah into this sample heavy album

I strongly disagree

Everything from the way he was talking, to the s*** he was rapping about I found to be super inspiring and a peak into the lifestyle he lives

Blessed, Massa (which was a more introspective moment), Lumberjack, Sir B, first 2 Corso verses, Hot Wind Blows, Safari etc were super luxury just in his own way but he was talking his s*** and really conveying the s*** he’s on

Even Lemonhead and Juggernaut which were more so bangers had some heavy talk on them

my friend convinced me that this is more of a mixtape than an album. Not to diminish the project ofc, just something that helps connects this further to the in my mind prequel tape. Then I guess Tyler’s next project will really be his in my mind

Wow peoples opinions change

Sometimes I swear you have a peanut where your brain is supposed to be

He hasn’t talked s*** on samples in like 5+ years and it was always stupid when he did it and he’s even taken it back

His rapping is always gonna be good. I was more so speaking towards the production

I don’t think that next part is true, his next project will probably be something else but yeah it was inspired by the mixtape era i mean he was pretty upfront about that

Dam im always kind to u meany

I mean they were good beats…

Bruh u niggas are being dumb

???

I won’t say biting man. Creatives are always inspired by other creatives

Ik but songs like sweet, rise, run it up etc threw me off to think it’s more of an album

Got too much self respect I wash my hands fo I piss

It is an album its inspired by mixtape era

So its an album with mixtape energy

Its not like this is is inspired by the mixtape and in 2 years im gonna drop an album inspired by the album , its more inspired by the era as a whole

Tyler wears his influences too heavily

Exactly, there is a fine line between taking influence and copying.

For instance, Pharrell biggest influences were Slick Rick and Steely Dan. You can hear the influence when you listening to Pharrell rap and produce. However it isn’t all in your face how Tyler does with Pharrell.

"Some say it's biting but I say it's enlightening. Besides, Dr. Kanye West is one of the brightest."
