So, I just listened to Scum-Fuck Flower Boy, Tyler the Creator's new album.
TL;DR - It's his best album by far.
The production is just outstanding. You can tell Tyler has matured quite a bit since Bastard and Goblin. It legitimately feels like a AAA rap album rather than underground shit.
Best songs on the album IMO are I Ain't Got Time, See You Again, Who Dat Boy, Boredom, and 911/Mr. Lonely.
If you haven't listened to it yet, I highly recommend you do. Genuinely surprised at how phenomenal it is.
If you have listened to it, what are your thoughts?
>>74069078
>what are your thoughts?

>2017
>I support this artist
>Pirates the album
Hahahah
>>74069078
I thought it was great desu
>>74069115
I can still buy it later, when I know for sure if he's gay (and thus deserves my money) or just trolling
First Tyler album I could listen to without needing to skip a track. Impressed desu.
by far his best album. the only palatable album before this was wolf, which in my opinion still fell short of being a good album.
though i'm loving sffb, fav tracks are: who dat boy, pothole, boredom, 9/11
i'd give it a 7/10
It's real good. Gonna get a good score from the Melon, and p4k just gave it 8.5 HMM, so /mu/ is gonna start hating it soon tho
>>74069115
I didn't pirate shit.

Yeah guy. Giving $.1 per play sure is helping your artist
>>74069201
Listen you fuck, I'm a Tyler stan. I own a pink GOLF hoodie and one of his green hats.
I've done my part by spending $75 on his clothes okay
>>74069211
>$75 in merchandise
>Not even the price of a ticket
Sure nigger, thanks I guess.

>>74069078
Fucking loved Who Dat Boy and 9/11 grew on me, after disliking it at first.
Glad to hear the album's his best though. Loved his previous shit, but not to the extent of Who Dat Boy. So thanks, anon, I'll listen to the album A$ap.
>>74069078
>albums been out for last than a month
>already calling it his best
what an immature statement. you'll regret this by the end of the year
>>74069173
i'm expecting a light 8 from melon
>>74069266
The fuck is your problem?
>>74069078
i've been listening to it for the past week and i think the same thing. it blows his other music out of the water. it's incredibly well done. amazing production, raps i didn't think he was even capable of writing, abstract themes, thought out, masterful composition. it's seriously an amazing piece of music.

>>74069078
about halfway through right now
its pretty nice at times, pretty cheesy at times
probably his most mature album, which a lot of people have pointed out
i like this the most of what i've heard from him but it's still probably like a 7/10 so far
>>74069394
t.poorfag
>>74069418
>pretty cheesy
what do you mean?
>>74069414
yes it does.
you would rather get mad and argue over some arbitrary number score by a reviewer of your so called fav artists . then support the artist financially which is what matters in the end
you are a #fraud #fan
>>74069414
I'm sure your +1 view on YouTube is helpful ducking retard
>>74069429
show me your vinyl, timestamp it
>>74069506
you first and i will glady :)
>>74069455
production wise specifically for me. i like some of the beats here and a lot of the synths sound really nice but occasionally they'll just sound too 70 jazz fusion-y for me. tyler's voice is really nice as usual.
>>74069508
t. projecting autist
ty for confirming my suspicions :^)
>>74069524
ah gotcha.
yeah that's a fair criticism. a lot of the songs on the album sample old 70's dance shit and, even though it works 80% of the time, sometimes it feels a little off.
still a fantastic album tho
>>74069560
yeah, definitely digging most of it so far. garden shed is a great track.
>>74069557
t.poorfag with no vinyl
>>74069580
how did you feel about i ain't got time? it's the most "old tyler" track and I've heard conflicting opinions. personally it's a favorite of mine
>>74069078
I'm a tyler fan and I was really hyped for this album and it definitly didn't dissapoint. It was kinda meh on the first listen but growed a lot on the second listen and even more on the third. My fave tracks are Foreword, I Ain't Have Time, See You Again, Boredom and Enjoy Right Now, Today. I actually think it was interesting he chose it as the last track. I think the album is so far great and I will give it several listens.
PS: I think melon will give it an 8
It's a really cohesive album lyrically and sonically, but I think it lacks a certain energy and pacing that would make it interesting. 2 or 3 more curveballs would potentially make this AOTY. I acknowledge that within the context of tyler's discography this is one of if not his best, but compared to a lot of the rap that came out in the last 8 months, it's probably a solid 7/10. There isn't a single bad song on the thing but there are a few underwhelming tracks that sound too similar to each-other.
I wonder if any anons agree with me.
>>74069617
I expect an 8 or 9 from melon. he was extremely positive towards who dat boy/911/mr. lonely and since most of the songs on the album are just as good, I can see him giving it a 9
>>74069611
on it right now, not a huge fan of it. the jump from boredom to this was a bit silly, it doesn't fit in as well as a lot of the rest of the album so far IMO
>>74069660
Eh there's no way he's giving this a 9 but whatever
so what's the worst/weakest track?
my vote goes to who dat boy
>>74069698
who dat boy is dope wtf
worst track IMO is droppin' seeds
>>74069660
>9
i'll eat a cum sandwich if he gives it that, there's just no fucking way.
i'm expecting strong 7 or light 8
>>74069078
I think the lemon will give it an strang ate
>>74069698
I think it's Who Dat Boy also, I liked it when it dropped a single but everytime I have listened to the album, it has been pretty much the only moment I have been bored
>>74069276
oh I'm suuuure we'll be losing lots of sleep over it anon
>>74069698
either dropping seeds or pothole, even tho i like pothole a lot and Jaden sounds hella good on it
>>74069750
yeah I've only been skipping it as well
>>74069727
didn't count that one it's more like an interlude but I digress
>>74069201
10c a play is a ton of money Anon holy shit
>>74069780
this
1000 plays at that rate = $100
>>74069698
who dat boy is easily one of the best tracks if not the best. the beat is fire, the lyrics are good, the flow is on point and his delivery is perfect
how the fuck can someone's taste be this bad?
>>74069819

So Tyler claims that everyone misheard the lyrics on garden shed (ones where he apparently mentioned Frank) but does this really take anything away from the belief that he's at least bisexual?
The entire theme of that song I thought was being in the closet but instead of calling it a closet he called it a garden shed to keep in theme with album. Not to mention the handful of lyrics throughout the rest of the project that imply his homosexuality.
>>74069266
Ow the edge
>>74070082
>just
>listened
muh hype train
>>74070147
Asking to see someone's vinyl is edgy? I think we've truly bastardized that word. Thanks Reddit!
>>74069660
Only more underground and obscure artist get 9s usually.
>>74069819
it's just obnoxious and irritating
>>74069698
Droppin Seeds, I thought it was pretty decent for a Lil Wayne track until he recycled his old lyrics "some drop science, but I'm droppin english". He is doing that a lot lately, waiting for him to just quit.
>>74070208
that's like the point
>>74070213
Isn't that from an NWA track?
>>74070230
Yes, I'm full blown retarded. I guess that is even worse if he is recycling someone else's lyrics.
>>74070253
>Plural, I graduated
>'Cause you can get through anything if Magic made it
>And that was called recycling
>Or re-reciting something
>'Cause you just like it
>So you say it just like it
>Some say it's biting
>But I say it's enlightening
>Besides, Dr. Kanye West is one of the brightest
so Tyler actually made an album that's consistent and flows really well
last track was kind of a bummer though
>>74070423
Yeah the ending sort of killed the hype it had.
I Ain't Got Time is actually way better than it should be...

i'm wondering if people thought it was a diss against frank, saying he was 'poof, gone'
though now that i'm thinking about it, i think the wordplay lies on the double meaning of the word poof
>>74069734
Screencap this for cummies sammich
It's weird, I always remember it being better than it is, then I go back to listen to it and it's never as good as I remembered.
People already making storyline theories https://pastebin.com/JMrFmRRJ
>>74071479
>there are people out there that try to find some deeper meaning that doesn't exist in stuff
Why is it so hard to take things face fact/as they are?
People better not be disrespecting Enjoy Right Now, Today. The track's fucking beautiful like a movie flashback.
>>74071350
I think I agree. When I first heard it, there was so much to take in and with all the rhetoric behind it, it felt like a beautiful coming out party or something. But now all the talk about him being bi is just kind of speculation at this point even still and a good amount of tracks aren't as mind blowing and impressive as originally thought.
Like, I don't care what Tyler's sexual orientation is, but if he's getting me incredibly invested into a work that's kinda centered around that kind of imagery and themes and have not really mean much in the end, then it all feels a little hollow.
>>74071986
>if he's getting me incredibly invested into a work that's kinda centered around that kind of imagery and themes and have not really mean much in the end, then it all feels a little hollow.
I mean dude the lyricism is pretty clear in his homosexuality.
Solid album. Not mindblowing but it's very well done, def one of the best rap albums of the year.
>>74069132
>when I know for sure if he's gay (and thus deserves my money)
you're joking right?
He's not gay
>>74069078
That anon that sperged out about the line saying "phrase" instead of "Frank" turned out to be right, but it didn't really change anything. Tyler's still fag as fuck
Tyler's not gay, he's said gayer shit in past albums than anything he's said in this album. He's a joker, nothing he says in a rap song should be taken seriously, maybe if he said it in an interview or something, but right now there's no reason to believe it.
>>74072103
so
"Truth is, since a youth kid, thought it was a phase, Thought it’d be like the Frank; poof, gone, but, still goin on"
is actually
""Truth is, since a youth kid, thought it was a phase, Thought it’d be like the phrase; poof, gone, but, still goin on""
isn't "poof" a slang term for a homosexual? it's still gay with or without the frank mention lmaoo
>>74072194
Exactly. I hope that guy's in these threads, he probably is. That was a fun time, the night after the leak dropped
>tfw /mu/ still finds a way to argue on one of the most uplifting albums of this year
>>74072174
>doesn't grasp the concept of context
please see a doctor to formally diagnose you with autism
I really like the album, thinking a solid 8
favorites: Boredom, See You Again, 911, November, and Glitter
low points: Droppin Seeds and Pothole, kinda getting old of Who Day Boy already though
played the whole album last night on a long drive like it was supposedly meant to be heard, really glad I did
melon will say strong 7

My thoughts exactly
>>74069266
Including this one, this poster has caught upwards of 20 (you)s in this thread with only a couple words per post. Who's more autistic, the one that keeps saying "post vinyls" and not much else or the multiple people that feel the need to continue replying to him
>>74072406
Oh my God please shut the fuck up I've never been more glad to not own vinyl in my life, you're literally shitting on a genuinely good thread FUCK OFF
>>74069684
Melon WILL give it a 9. Mark my words
>>74072562
try a 6
>>74069170
i didn't like the chorus on pothole
apparently it was jaden smith on it
>>74069461
it is, technically
>>74072562
Melon didn't even give Frank a 9 lmao and you think he's gonna give Tyler a 9?
>>74072403
>it's not obvious that he was joking
wow, you're dumb
>>74072562
no way
he might give it an 8, but he doesn't like tyler enough for a 9

Yeah, matured into being a gigantic faggot cock sucker.
baka. why is this allowed.
>>74073569
Why does it matter who he fucks as long as it's consensual? It's still good music.
>b-but he's shoving it down my throat
His references to his sexuality in this album are super cryptic and infrequent. Stop being a bigot for no reason lmfao
>>74073655
>why does it matter if he is a degenerate cocksucker
pls hang yourself faggot.
this shit is exactly what's wrong with hip hop. pussified fag bullshit.

Honestly, Boredom is my least favorite. I don't hate it but Rex County Orange's singing kind of wears on me, though it sounded fantastic on Foreword
>>74073400

he should fuck lil b then
really hate all these "Tyler Comes Out of the Closet" articles distracting from well-rounded discussion about this fascinating album
it's ironic how msm preaches treating those with non-binary sexual orientation equally yet manage to pigeonhole and stereotype Tyler with the mainstream lgbt crowd with this whole "Tyler Comes out of Closet" phrase
literally his fanbase that they all decried as homophobic misogynist is making less of a big deal about this than msm
there's more to any given person than their goddamn sexuality
sorry autistic rant over
>>74074132
it's just impossible for politically correct media outlets to process that a potentially bisexual or gay person uses the word "faggot"
hmm what's the word, oh yeah - satire
PC bullshit strikes again
>>74073714
Can you actually explain why two consenting adults shouldn't be allowed to have sex without buzzwords like "degenerate"?
It's not a bad album, but honestly even after a few listens all the songs still felt a bit too same-y to me.

i still love the album and still think it's 9/10, but after listening to it a dozen times i wish there was more
i don't think it needs to be longer necessarily, and i don't think the songs we have aren't complex, but i think something could have hit harder that i can't put my finger on
