Damn what an experience

In Search Of… Is like a top 10 album ever for me, im pretty sure i listened to it because of tyler too but i dont remember my first listen.

No

I’m sorry, I like some of his songs though

Because CMIYGL was the best album of that year

Tyler?

hes up there

No, because niggas are stuck on 2011 Tyler instead about being in interested into Tyler now and beyond.

Cuz till this day most the hood still know him as that kid that ate a cockroach

Tyler is miles ahead as an overall artist but I guess one could argue on just pure writing lyrics….maybe…but that just seems like missing the forest for the trees. feel like it’s not really close overall.

Tyler is like a tier below them with Sean, Future, Nicki etc.

It's tough to accept that his pre coming-out era will always be his most impactful

Yeah the bars were immature, reckless, edgy, etc.

And yet the content was still more exciting and compelling than his Wes Anderson luggage bars. Yeah the Igor/Drama s*** was "critically acclaimed" Tyler decided too late in the game he wanted to be taken seriously rapping

would actually like to see Tyler battle someone now that his pen is a lot sharper

Tyler was a better overall rapper pre-flower boy. better artist now tho

Maybe there is a reason then .

we all know why

please tell me you not saying some s*** like goblin is better than cmiygl and igor

i'll give you wolf

Yeah I'd put Wolf up as being the best example of a "great divide" in his style - dividing his chances into cementing into a top 5 imo

One whole part of that career is spent being one way, not even on a sexuality spectrum thing, but lyrically their whole approach. And I'm happy for anyone who enjoys Tyler's more recent catalog but it's fair to say there's a reasonable explanation why Tyler hasn't reached the popularity of the others especially based on how he's pivoted styles drastically

Maybe these are nostalgia glasses, but "Wusyaname" is less impactful than the least played song off of B******

unserious artist

tyler is left out of these convos because of his fanbase and he was funny on the internet

realistically tyler is as hip hop as it gets and he puts out good music and is always evolving

bro sold out msg multiple nights in a row other top rappers couldn’t sell out arenas as a solo headliner he’s huge

it’s not arguable he’s miles miles MILES better than mid cole and FHD is the epitome of overrated mid

his fanbase prolly alienates a lot of rap fans i went to a concert of his and the people there were definitely… tyler fans

Different lane

they both fell off
tyler turned into a tik tok sounding artist and j cole is just plain boring trying to force himself in whatever rapper top (kinda like what drake does trying to force this image of a bad boy on himself)
