Yeah always saw more Pharrell in Tyler. there are Ye similarities here and there but not a much N.E.R.D influence
I think his more recent albums (especially IGOR) are extremely embedded in Kanye's production style
but Pharrell/Neptunes sound is still the foundation to Tyler's production style
A BOY IS A GUN literally has the same sample that Kanye used in Bound 2, he just sampled a different portion of the track lmao
Both suffer from mental health problems and make mid-tier music after starting off great
But Pharrell and Kanye both have numerous classics under their belts and both producer as well as sing/rap
I don't see the relation though
cringe
no I don't think so. He literally studied Pharrell right? All that s*** he was doing in his early odd future years was like Nerd inspired
