Nobody wants to hear Denzel curry on any song ever, Maxo and Tyler’s music together sucks. Q and Tyler have made decent s*** I’m sure they could make something even better at this point. Gunna has more bangers than all of them tho

definitely expecting some seemingly random rap collab on this just like with dugg and youngboy the last time - both were a fresh breath of air to the album and brought great energy so i’d welcome something like this again tbh

carti & uzi were quite surprising appearences on igor as well and worked out really well…. wonder who it may be this time if we get some surprising names hmmm

but even if not then as long as we’re talking rap features on this album just give me kendrick, wayne & earl and i’m good…. maxo or carti would be amazing as well

Being alternative is how you get this big if you naturally dont have the things in place to do typical mainstream rapper s*** at a high level and even that doesnt work like it used to

Hell no you really think JPEGMafia could ever be this mainstream? Tyler just made smart moves

1. Built a cult early with OF, shock value, and TV shows

2. Fans of the successful ones, like Frank who went HUGE, grew to like him from their camaraderie

3. Associated himself with Ye, Pharrell, Kali and other artists early and timed his huge collabs like Weeknd AFTER his newer bodies of work which gave normies more to digest as opposed to the cringier s***

4. His festival makes normies that go to for an Uzi show or whatever artists’ fanbase grow to like him too EVERY YEAR.

5. Him going LGBTQ makes a whole generation find an artist they relate to which creates STANS and he Actually made his music LESS weird and more flowery/pop/happy to fit his brand change

If anything it’s the opposite of what you said. Every 2010s alt/indie artist died and It’s cooler now than EVER to spam 100 autotune trap songs sounding like LilBaby showing guns like the 100th Chief Keef image. And anything without crashout lyrics and 808s is getting played LESS. even I am addicted, I used to listen to straight Frank Ocean but now RARELY I get bored even listening to rock sometimes and fiend for energy and hihats.

Even saw one of my fav indie artists in HS with like 14k plays after YEAR on his newest album and was like WTF.

Maybe going alternative like you say is beneficial AFTER youve made it and already oversaturated your style so it’s something fresh to the SOLIDIFIED fans (for example if Drake or Carti dropped a Beatles-esque album playing guitar theyd be called a genius and gain those type of fans while the closeminded old fans just say this one’s not for me but
maybe the next one (still giving both albums multiple streams in the process and thinking it’ll grow after seeing others hype it)

But imagine thinking either would be as big if he started out now doing that. Their 1st impression would be “trash artist” and theyd have less/no interest in anything after that by default

"Him going LGBTQ makes a whole generation find an artist they relate to"
LGBT+ people don't f*** with Tyler
He wishes we did but we don't
Same situation as Frank Ocean

False. Compare Tyler’s crowds or comment sections in 2012 or even just a pre-Flower Boy to now it’s a bunch of girls that like flowers and identify as pan
and colorful quirky pronoun using males that see themself in him. It’s on an individual level

The EXACT types of people that would march to cancel someone if they released B****** in 2024.

Funny enough I know a “flowers and sprinkles and pansexuality and Trump said mean things 8 years ago if you like him im unfriending you bc youre racist” type girl that was adamantly posting to cancel Dababy but is a huge Tyler fan type. I’m sure a lot have never even heard his old side.
