    Sureeee, a rap album called flower boy on which he unexpectedly came out as bi and rapped about having a hard on for a white boy with rosey cheeks and dirt colored eyes was real safe and accessible to the casual hip-hop fan in 2017

    Him coming out as gay/bi was definitely a shocker but that doesn’t make the album less safe and accessible. Production, delivery and lyrics are pretty tame compared to most of his work

  • Tyler

    Equally talented and overrated.

    It’s absolutely his most accessible.
    He gained an entire new fanbase after that album actually

    And his music became much more appealing to women listeners with Flower Boy

    more appealing might be a drag, tyler has always had a larger female fanbase since Goblin unironically (She)

    I mean yea he did, but I’m saying that his female audience definitely grew more

    The flower imagery, the pop sound, and the softer lyrics made the whole era much more appealing and easy to get in to

    The album was an entry point for Tyler’s music for a lot of Gen Z

  • I think it’s accessible to hip hop heads but the average white female is still gonna listen to flowerboy

    i’m not disagreeing with you

    but i think when you say his female audience grew, you might be confusing demographics

    Woke up to give backhanded compliment to a years old album. Completely unhinged

    Woke up to give backhanded compliment to a years old album. Completely unhinged

    He’s not wrong tho

    Some of the best work an artist can do is be completely unhinged but these white Taylor Swift Stan’s that only know the hits from artists don’t realize true greatness

    S*** was garbage. Sounded like Hidden NY. Almost shed rage tears when I saw faux-hot people applauding this joke of a project on twitter

    Lmaooo hidden.ny the Instagram page? What does this mean haha I’m genuinely curious

    i don’t think you got what i was saying

    the subject matter and content of Flower Boy is completely secondary to the production which is very lush and easy listening, there’s no reason to get hung up over “mUh bI” on that album when there’s so much more going on it, it’s his most accessible by far

    just sounds like projection
