I was in that thread and people were acting like we have a problem with him sampling. It's putting that disclaimer on the cover that's the problem. Especially with how obscure some of the samples are, people will end up giving him more credit than he deserves
the 3rd one and last one are fine and I actually love the way he flipped both of those breaks, the rest are crazy tho lol especially the ones for Puppet and Thank You
https://ktt2.com/igor-is-a-glorified-mashup-album-32514366 i think there's great discussion to be had here.
While I think OP's point is overblown, there is something to say to question the validity of written, produced, and arrangement by Tyler Okama which is prominently featured on the cover art of the album.
Not trying to stir any s*** but I think it's a worthy discussion about how we view bodies of work by how they are presented to us.
the d***riding is absolutely insane
i won’t even get started lmao

nigga ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? was the highlight of that entire project for me
i didn’t know he just lifted a sample and repeated a hook over it
honestly, that thread made me respect Tyler even more. the music sounds good to me and he did it off the finesse. good for him. and people really really undervalue the discipline it takes to dig for samples, no matter what gets done with them

Sampling (WELL) is not for the feint of heart.
And I don’t think anyone is saying he has a bad ear for samples, clearly he doesn’t lmao
The album is still incredible and one of my personal favorites
I’m just saying two things can be true is all

Fuzzy patchwork is a great way to explain it.
I was killing myself trying to find out how he got the texture and overall “feel” on most of these songs
don't forget it was arranged and produced by him
this is the actual stickler here @2words is right to be on his ass for that s***
sampling isn’t the issue here, it’s moreso Tyler acting like he’s some sort of prodigal music savant that’s wholly original, but then he s***s out a project filled with largely unprocessed samples, and then stamps it with “produced arranged etc. by me”
kinda wild to me dawg ngl

I see what you mean.
that "written and arranged" s*** a little extra for the songs themselves but let's be real it's not like his whole career has been some grift and there is a lot to be said about the originality of the accompanying era of this album as a whole.
I say he earned the right to put that note on the cover
it’s like when i found out JPEGMAFIA had stole the “Real Nega” beat and lied about making it
and it’s dumb asf because he’s such a goated producer he don’t even need to be doin allat
Dumbass thread
Sampling or not the fact is the final product is still all Tyler’s lmao and i dont even like that album

Reading comprehension is vital…
You get that’s not what I’m conveying at all right

I had the exact same experience with that song.
I heard that s*** like “holy f*** Tyler did it, he leveled up musically to the point where he can make the 70s soul s*** he loves ”
When i heard the sample man

OP is right but at the same time taking and mixing samples like that is pretty much how sampling started so it’s not the big aha gotcha it was presented as
What did he arrange
the tracklist
man ya know what, i need to get some music out

He did this so much on CMIYGL lol like Manifesto having the same beat from Nazareth Savage
