Thats not even the most quotable part imo

I really think that OKAY OKAY OKAY repeated part is the part that is most catchiest

He’s in a different big 3 conversation with Frank Ocean, Mac Demarco and Phoebe Bridgers

Yeah in retrospect that decline was crazy. He was actually NICE and really spitting and rhyming better in the early days, with better control of his voice. He never really recaptured that. Even with trying to return to “barring out” on CMIYGL it wasn’t at the same level as his Radicals raps

If I’m ranking the OG trilogy it’s Wolf> B******> Goblin

B****** comes off as horrorcore with substance. at times the most vulnerable he’s been until Lone & then FB

Goblin is shock raps for the sake of shock - no substance. Almost unlistenable to me these days in part bc of the lack of introspection and in part bc of the forced shock value. Very select few songs I return to off it

Yeah thats the definite ranking

Wolf only falls short in some departments like I think lyrically that was one of his weakest eras but there are still some highlights but as far as overall album experience, its not too far off from any album that came after for me

Goblin is easily the worst

B****** has songs that really show Tyler was special from the jump so i think it serves a good purpose in his discography

Tyler had that quality early on where his voice and delivery would really grab you, with an urgency and he seemed larger than life

Idk how he lost that quality so badly. And it’s not just cause his image changed I can hear the difference. His voice has so much less presence later on it’s crazy. I guess just less hunger

Drake
Tyler

Imo

Imagine telling a hip hop head in 2024 that Tyler used to keep up with Earl on tracks they would look at you sideways. I agree tho CMIYGL was supposed to be his grand return to rapping rapping and it was cool but hasn’t stuck with me as much in the years after

who cares

Like bro…. This the first song on his first official tape as Tyler

Nigga was different

mad annoying

Yeah early Tyler used to rap on par with Earl.

His flows on songs like Seven and Couch is still fire.

Like this the Tyler I miss:

Wolf definitely has some rough edges but it’s apart of the charm of that album whereas the rough edges of Goblin ruin it. It’s where he came into his own as a album artist to me while the next few albums refined that growth. Plus Wolf will always be super special to me since it came at such specific time in my life growing up.

Random s*** I just remembered but first day I listened to Wolf is the first day I listened to In Search Of… 2013 was special man

he stopped rapping with "swagger"

honestly still one of my favorite rapping performances of his his

idk why but gangstarr was so random and made me laugh lol

First song I ever heard from Tyler, classic.

You don't fw Cole Mitch?

I used to be obbessed with the seven beat, was my ringtone for years

Trav Carti Tyler

Zoomers are the ones who took Tyler beyond cult-fanbase status

so hard, those pads are so nice

Was just thinking if everyone tryna replace Cole in big 3 Tyler gotta be first man up

tyler make these dudes insecure!
