Not to mention Kanye has plenty of beats he did not make the beat for but is credited as the producer in his later catalog because he executive produced it and told the producers how to make it

Hov and Kendrick do the same thing but just dont credit themselves as the producer

I’m not even s***ting on Ye for that bc thats the definition of production, the whole making beats is the only way to be a producer is something that only exists in rap

Anyone else get Mr. Morale vibes from this? Each relisten i feel like Tyler was really inspired by the direction Kendrick went.

This his most relatable album by far for me. My dad left after my mom cheated on him, I got a girl pregnant 2 years ago and she had an abortion and I’m a f***in hater

Great album

Niggas act like making a beat is way harder than writing a Nas tier verse

Both are pure artistry, if u are an elite lyricist thats definitely art ur tool is ur words

I never said they weren’t top tier artists

Kanye’s just above because he was top tier at both categories

The production on Thought I Was Dead fits so much better in context.
I did NOT like that s*** off the snippet, but it works really well with the rest of the song going into it

I ain’t talking about his later catalog. I’m talking about his prime.

I hate that argument and perspective so much

Kanye is not an elite lyricist and also has writers but he’s still a top tier rap artist because he makes great art

Same should apply for great rap artist who don’t produce, its just a blind spot in their artistry it doesn’t mean they aren’t top tier artist. Every artist has blind spots or something they don’t do

It is kinda shocking to hear that Tyler's dad wanted to be in his life
We went all these years, with the topic heavily inspiring his music and then it gets flipped on his head

Edit: it probably ain't all that cut & dry but still

I think it's more so you can be still be a top tier artist just from writing/vocals without knowing how to produce. But it's just more impressive if you can do both at a top tier level. Same reason why prince is rated so highly

Tyler is having his midlife crisis at 33 for some reason & is questioning whether or not he should take the path so many of his friends have, which is something more normal (settling down). He questions if just his careerism & wealth is enough to sate him. Ultimately he decides that he would rather keep things poly, tying up filial loose ends, is generally unjudging of a woman's past, is interested im having a kid, knocked up some lady, but both weren't ready, I guess they broke up, & now here we are, with Tyler doubling down on what he always did: being a beacon for others
