This makes the album better to me

It always felt like a fuzzy patchwork of sound I just didn’t know how much he incorporated at once

The album is a bunch of old funk records. Here's a few I can do full thing later

Honestly making an album from a lot of other peoples music is not a bad thing or non original

Like Endtroucing by DJ Shadow… pretty sure it’s all samples right

how and what you take matter. You can look at the credits on dilla and avalanches albums. Thats the extreme original part of sampling. This is too close to the original material to be considere original

I've been rooting for tyler for a minute but at some point a spade is a spade.

This man had the audacity to put "All songs written and produced and arranged..." when very little musical writing and arranging has happened. This sentence is a lie, straight up.

There's no flips either, to frame this as sampling most likely hurts the legal case for sampling

I THINK

He takes the main chord loop, the entire hook including the lyrics of one song and then puts the drums of the other. This is a mashup and not his production. No flips

GONE GONE, THANK YOU

The first part is literally the same chords and melody as this first song. And the second part is a cover with some tape fx (im not recreating the
vst chain rn lol) and an arpeggiator on the most basic settings. There are some original drums but were still in mashup territory

ARE WE STILL FRIENDS
He literally is just riffing vocally & lyrically over an al green instrumental. There's a little breakdown in the middle but if he posed this as anything other than a cover in any jazz setting he'd be laughed out

PUPPET
Same story no flips just rapping on other ppls songs or a simplified version of them at the front of the song

Theres then a portion of the songs which get closer to original and can be argued as original

Igor's theme (the drums are straight ripped but that really doesn't mean much, I'll give him his 5 saturated synth notes they cool)
New magic wand ( the spoon loop is kind of a flip I guess but the music and the music is taken from a small portion of the og track, were in flip territory)

A BOY IS A GUN is an obvious flip but I kind of wish he wouldnt beat a dead horse

There's then 3 songs on the album which are largely original
EARFQUAKE
I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE (this is the most original music on the album)
WHAT'S GOOD

The dude has admitted to lifting stevie s*** so it wouldnt surprise if he's taking more that he doesnt have to credit cause you can't shouldnt be able to trademark chords.

But yea this man is a fraud maybe a little less so than awaken my love but to put the front statement on the album is an insult to all working musicians. He's doing less work than a good portion of Atlanta producers that his ignorant fans like to look down on. You can't even argue these as simple flips like ye, he's looping the part of the song that's already a loop

Facts are that saying "chords" repeatedly in conversation with no context is about 2 steps removed from "gatar". This is the same guy who spent years talking about bagging "models in europe" like a kid with a "girlfriend in a different school", we probably shouldnt be surprised by his insecure ass. He has some talent but is just a biter tbh.

this took way to f***ing long damn
tell me if I missed anyhting there's probably a bunch more on the rest of his albums

Lowkey it’s nice seeing the guts of the album, but this don’t really change s*** for me

Not the same thing as the Tyler stuff you mentioned, AML is inspiration rather than direct unmodified looping and sampling

Bro how did you find all this.

I remember Tyler saying he wakes up everyday and listens to new music, but I ain't know he was just straight ripping songs

Wow.

S*** some of that is a lil too similar lmao wow.

That being said . . .

The creativity in rap has hit rock bottom, so I wouldn’t mind hearing amazing albums like this one, even if they are rip offs.
