"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

99% of music criticism is finding a fancy way to say "ion like it"

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.

I feel like he's been carefully curating his projects for a minute now even if some of it was still "chaotic" lol

he's always been good at making concepts around his albums even from the beginning.

I just personally NEVER was into what dude was rapping about (always enjoyed the production though) until Wolf came out.

Just realised from Tyler's tweet that it's 'you look malnourished', not 'you look 'bout nervous'
