In a way it made me realize the friends I still have are truly family and its apart of life anyways but yeah it definitely made me go back and listen like damn I get what he was going through now and its inspiring because he still managed to move on and have great times

That’s an unfair narrative to blame solely on Tyler as if they all didn’t drastically change

Hodgy, Earl, Frank, Syd, Taco etc are all completely different from how they were in 2009-2011, I feel like Tyler honestly has done a better job of maintaining his childhood friends than most people. Left Brain did an interview on YT last year about why OF broke up and he said multiple members in the group didn’t like the constant schedule that OF required after a few years and on top of that Earl, Matt, and Syd all publicly said they grew to dislike the initial OF image and Frank fired OF’s management while they were all still in the group together yet its solely Tyler’s fault somehow

Members were complaining about not liking OF anymore in 2012-2013 way before they officially ended

Syd left OF tour in 2011 because she said none of the boys in the group were checking on her and her feelings, but people only blame Tyler lol

Wait till you get some really good success and life reveals itself more and call me hits

Thats truly the goal, I really hope to relate to the album im definitely putting in the work to get there one day

It was inevitable for Frank, jet age/internet & earl to do their own thing but the OF movement could’ve went on imo. I wasn’t there so I’ve got no right to pin it on one person I’m sure overall it was the best for everyone but it sucks to see niggas like domo, hodgy and leftbrain get left in the dust. Mike g was cool but he low key trash

Will Paris Texas and Sexxy Redd potentially be on this album? :ariscared:

yea it's def not all on tyler. obv he was the leader of everything so ppl will say he's selfish and s*** for shifting focus towards himself but other niggas in OF genuinely wanted to move on from it or weren't fully invested by the time they broke up

honestly it's crazy bc tyler was really one of the only niggas that was repping OF hard until the very end

Yeah most people change when they get money

Domo didn’t get left in the dust lol

Hodge and Left Brain weren’t allat

OF without frank & earl post 2015 woulda been some garbage lol , like im ngl i know they werent the most active in terms of the group but they both were essential members imo

Earl changed just as drastically as Tyler, Tyler even did an interview where he said Earl’s change caught him off guard but I feel like he doesn’t get any slack for changing except for people not liking his music anymore but not personal slack

I actually do think Hodgy deserved better treatment for his work in OF by management, but Domo & Tyler honestly seem like they got a solid ass friendship they post every time they drop domo is even rt’ing this current rollout stuff. Domo honestly is in his own way by not dropping stuff with Navy Blue/Earl/Alc when he easily could and would fit in that wave perfectly

I think Hodgy is definitely the one who had the most issues but again people only focus in his beef with Tyler when he’s dissed Earl & Left Brain too and even got his Mellowhype tattoo wacked out and said Earl has sneak dissed him hella times since OF ended. Hes the only one who doesnt do Camp Flog Gnaw either, but he did say that him and tyler are cool now in an interview i listened to from him last year

OF lore is too much for me i have to stop bc i will go in

On God niggas was giving up on him!!!

Earl gets treated like he can do no wrong by OF fans but he was the main one pushing for OF to end lmao and Frank stopped caring about OF, frank probably hasnt even acknowledged OF in over 10 years but people only blame tyler 😭

I feel like Jasper Taco and Lionel still being every day homies with Tyler

And Domo, Mike G, Left Brain, Earl, and Frank all only ever saying good things about Tyler kinda kills the narrative that he’s some snake who switched up on them for me

He didn’t like that it ended

Sexxy Red is 100% confirmed, the only one confirmed besides Daniel Caesar

Westside Gunn I have at 90%

ScHoolboy Q 85%

Vince 70%

Freddie Gibbs 65%

No inclinations other than that

like bro niggas don't realize at one point tyler was the only one posting on the OF youtube channel up until 2016 lmfao. earl was sneak dissing tyler and had sly ass remarks towards the OF/GOLF merch too. frank been checked out. matt/syd was checked out too. everyone else just wasn't invested like that except like mike g

Every track so far has been 🚮

Sexy Redd is on this??

wow this track is garbage

this is prob tangential from ur post but i always thought the rap parts on Flower Boy / IGOR were actually better than on CMIYGL

which is funny cause I could've sworn Tyler said in some interview that CMIYGL was him just wanting to bar out/make like a hip-hop tribute album

and he does that well but I just love the writing on stuff like New Magic Wand or Glitter more

Only one song has dropped

I don’t think lyrically bar wise IGOR can go toe to toe with CMIYGL

Manifesto & Massa just purely lyrically were highlights to me but that also wasn’t the focus of IGOR. New magic wand was great song writing but if we took it bar for bar it doesn’t stack up off bars alone imo

But honestly flower boy is up there. Flower boy, cmiygl, and b****** were the albums were tyler shined lyrically imo

I remember ppl were talking about how Tyler wouldn't give anyone the Odd Future youtube password
