"As Tyler has become more refined, so has his aesthetic, evolving from youthful chaos to careful curation"

I can't stand the way these Pitchfork "journalists" write, it sounds like me in High School english trying to sound intelligent to finesse better grades

😂😂

They based a whole paragraph on confusing Tyler with Earl.

I read that paragraph over like 6 times and I still don't understand wtf that guy is even trying to say

The article he links about Tyler referring to black people as a monolith just has Tyler expressing his own experience with struggling to make black friends and how thinking out of the box/being different is taboo in the black community, which is fax.

The Wes Anderson aesthetic stretches back since at least Wolf. IFHY video has it which is when he was still "problematic"

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that Lumberjack voiceover, powder and porcelain can both be black. Why would it raise eyebrows at all

Just s***ty journalism all around, can't believe these people actually get paid for this garbage

Some of the best rapping I've heard from him, seriously outdone himself with this album and I love the jazzy undertones throughout.

Yeah I thought the same, his flows are way more versatile on this album than others. It sounds like he’s really practiced his rapping since Igor release

Wes Anderson and whiteness as an aesthetic

As Tyler has become more refined, so has his aesthetic, evolving from youthful chaos to careful curation. And CMIYGL’s is complemented by a cohesive set of visuals, from the album cover to billboards to teasers and music videos. Wes Anderson’s influence looms large here, with wide-angle shots on diorama sets, and vintage luxury suitcases shot with a low-contrast, brown-and-pastel color palette. It’s hard to separate Anderson’s manicured aesthetic from whiteness, and how Tyler’s proximity to and relationship with whiteness throughout his career has proven to be awkward and, at times, problematic. Beyond the eyebrow-raising voiceover in the LUMBERJACK teaser talking about the “powder that’s reflecting on my porcelain skin,” the visuals as a whole recall Tyler’s early comments about being “too white for the Black kids and too Black for the white kids,” and his history of speaking of Black people as a monolith.

Tyler’s early comments about being “too white for the Black kids and too Black for the white kids,”

Does the "are you ready" on SWEET sample chance (blessings ft ty$) or is that some common tag?
