his best loosie idc

one request from the IGOR lovers, specifically the ones of the RYM, Anthony Fantano and AOTY communities... please stop saying IGOR is an R&B album or worse... a Neo-Soul album... just please stop... you don't actually listen to any R&B music.

flower boy his worst album

for sure

Great song.

Hardly see anyone call it an R&B album, I wouldn’t say Neo-Soul is the primary genre but the term is quite broad tbh.

yeah i think that mostly comes from RYM lol but Tyler wanted it referred to as a pop album right?

I don't find Neo-Soul to be a broad genre tbh

def came from RYM, they have IGOR ranked like top 10 for R&B albums ever ??

what would you categorize it as if you had to

eh, i look at it more as they have IGOR ranked as one of the best albums of all time, and it happens to be tagged under R&B. that's just how RYM works so it looks more odd than it really is

now IGOR's score being high enough to rank it as a checks TOP 40 album of ALL TIME, is a totally separate convo lol.

How isn’t it?

Neo meaning new.

It’s pretty much a blanket term for music with Soul, Jazz, Funk, Contemp R&B and Hip Hop influences.

Not all Neo-Soul albums will sound the same lol, they share similar influences.

D'Angelo walked so Tyler could run

the all-encompassing "ALTERNATIVE"

or hip hop tbh

Same with Stevie, Nerd, Ye etc, he wears his influences on his sleeve.

Nothing wrong with that.

but if Tyler says IGOR is pop, it's pop to me respect the artist

NOID

that's a tough one because i think it blends a lot of different genres which usually leads me to say it's Alternative or perhaps Pop but I also think there's still a root in Hip Hop. More than half the songs feature him rapping on it. so I guess if you're asking me, I'd say Alternative Hip Hop or just Alternative but that's me!

what about you?

NOID

yea lol i just hate how they have that system set up. imagine someone wanting to get into the R&B genre and that album is like meant to be considered essential to the ethos... yea nah!

Ayo (literally)
