    To be fair to Tyler, while it is the middle of his career (well we don't know he could be making albums into his 40s and then it wouldn't be middle) he dropped flower boy at the age of 26, same as when Kanye dropped college drop out and younger than Eminem with sslp. Tyler blew up really young and we are starting to see him really mature before our eyes. Imo we are seeing him really hitting his creative stride

      Never said it wasn't, i just think (in my opinion) Flower boy deserved the award. In terms of production and originality, flower boy was better. That's why i said, no disrespect to Kendrick or DAMN but i feel like he just won the award because he's Kendrick Lamar. Same thing with Bruno Mars, the guy was nominated/won so many it's just ridiculous and disrespectful for the other artists who put in just as much if not harder work than him. Does that mean his project was bad ? Of course not, but they choose a winner based on how mainstream they are, which is unfair. That's why i'm calling it a popularity contest

    @matejstojanov1561 5 лет назад +1

    Looking back to this video now when IGOR is released really shows that Tyler is almost fully matured now. With IGOR making a whole new character, and going through the journey of falling in love and eventually realizing that this might not be for him, really shows that he isn't just an angsty teen, but an extremely creative and mature adult, that isn't scared to show his emotions and feelings anymore, and focuses on making actually good music with good meaning. Now, don't get me wrong, Tyler has had a talent his entire life, but the actual meaning of his music when he started producing it scared off many people.

    I think Flower Boy is his best albums as it seems to be the one he was the most into himself. It seemed to me that Flower Boy is what he wanted Cherry Bomb, and that this is the successor to that album and that he'd finally perfected what he was working towards

    As a Tyler the Creator fan, (possibly stan) I obviously approve of this video. I also kinda hope Tyler retweets because that’s the kind of thing he does. Pretty smooth and well edited, this one. It really explain Tyler’s story outline in a similar way to Kids See Ghosts’ story. I would’ve liked you to go a bit more in depth to his other 2 projects, Cherry Bomb in particular because it’s an important stepping stone in his career and style and also it has a literal documentary’s worth of information. But yeah uh good video.

    • @steezyyeezy6936
      @steezyyeezy6936 6 лет назад +3

      MapleMilk that be cool if he does retweet it but I doubt it, because the title is a bit much. Flower Boy was amazing but it’s only been an year and I don’t think Tyler sees it as a classic yet.

    I’m only 16, I discovered Tyler when I was around 12-13, and I loved his lyrics about anger, his f*cked up ideas, and what was actually hiding behind it all. If you follow him as I did and grow with him as I felt as if I did, you’ll see that the real him was right there, in each album, in each video, in every feature he was in, in the songs he helped Frank Ocean make. It was rather, he was peeling away what made him so frustrated with this world, or rather, he was growing to become the Magnificent flower he is today, there’s so much I know about Tyler because I’ve grown with him and he’s been my idol for rapping about the shit that he thought of. He helped me express myself and in fact, when cherry bomb came out, it became my favorite album, blasting the beautiful angelic song he sings about growing your wings, and the blasting song he screams, making that song only to perform it, if you listen closely
    I’m at the 6 minute mark, but you currently did not talk about how ASAP Rocky became a huge part of his growth, if you look closely, Rocky was there right after or before cherry bomb, and from there, he only grew, much like complex covered actually, but complex is also too plain
    I want to make a RUclips video explaining it all now
