Kamron Gilmore

Wayne scales

Vambie on thanksgiving.. what a treat ! 🤍🙌🏾

FB changed the perception of him but this really took him to another level. Also it’s responsible for huge huge fanbase shift as well, or at least the perception. From edgy teens to LGBTQ adjacent music nerds (not saying that in a derogatory way AT ALL lol).

Happy thanksgiving Vambie!

Isaac

Happy Thanksgiving can't wait to watch later !

Glad you got to Igor. It’s Tyler’s best and most cohesive album imo and the underlying theme is also his most interesting (the character Igor is also my second favorite of his alter egos). New Magic Wand is Tyler’s favorite song, even to this day, and he always makes sure it is THE highest point of his live shows, so I highly recommend to watch at least one live performance of New Magic Wand as I think they’re way better than the studio version.

Tyler was actually in a car crash, I believe a few months prior to the album coming out so he decided to add that in the last verse of what’s good One of the best break up albums of all time, it’s already considered a classic. Extremely critically acclaimed The last note of ARE WE STILL FRIENDS actually goes into IGORS THEME if you listen closely, which pushes the theory that the entire album is a loop (which Tyler kinda confirmed where he liked a tweet where a fan was talking about this). Showcasing how he wants to be friends again, and he ends up in the same situation in the beginning of the album

THE BREAKUP ALBUM OF 2019.

Esther

so excited to watch this!! I got introduced to Tyler on this album. It always amazes me how quick and spot on you are on figuring out storylines and underlying themes. Amazing reaction <3 Also, correct me if I'm wrong but if you play the album all the way it's a full loop with Are We Still Friends ending with Igor's Theme beggining

Joel Oates

Just out of curiosity, who's your favourite persona/alter ego?

Owari

What a Thanksgiving treat

Thomas Mitchell

On Earfquake, the person is Charlie Wilson who joins him on the chorus. That's who you are hearing. He was also on "Fucking Young" as well.

aev

you hit the nail on the head with the loop thing. in fact the loop is implied with "are we still friends ending on an electronic droning noise that fades right back into igors theme

Fay

She’s like a tyler concerned friend/big sis it’s super sweet lmaooo. Love ur reactions vambie u always keep it 100. <3

Dipal

I'm so confused - what is the song at around 27 minutes? That's not what I remember "EXACTLY WHAT YOU RUN FROM YOU END UP CHASING" sounding like 😭.

Dipal

Ah, nevermind I realized it's "Boyfriend", which was a track exclusive to physical copies and then later uploaded to YouTube.

“Don’t go into this expecting a rap album”… proceeds to win a Grammy for Rap Album of the Year

Murky

was this ur first time hearing it?? if so thats amazing

Maya

Yayyy my favorite Tyler album. the production is immaculate on this one. I’d never heard anything like it. it was so different so I didn’t really like it at first but it ended up being one of my favorite albums ever ☺️

nrxdnz

if you play the first track after the last track it creates a loop

KWarfield

Stranger Things now this!!!! Wow what a week!

Chubbs

St. Chroma. I think his design and what he represents show Tyler at his creative best. The entirety of Chromakopia is very stylized and St. Chroma is a direct representation of its style.

Chubbs

He did have a speech later on how black artists only ever win rap or “urban” categories no matter how genre bending/defying it is, and how “urban” is just a politically correct n word in his eyes.

Ianxd

I swear im not hating on you i just wondering, how come you love 10 seconds of a "tik tok sound" but never bother to search for the full song? lol short attention span content has done irreparable damage to music lmao

Brady Gibson

The end of Igor flows right back into the intro so yes it definitely is an endless cycle

algorerhythm

Won't be able to watch this until later today, but I wanted to expand on the loop thing that has been mentioned already: it's a musical loop too. To get nerdy and specific about it, Are We Still Friends? is in the key of F major; you'd expect the song to end on an F major chord or the note F to feel resolved. But the last synth note at the end of the song is a B♭, the fourth note or subdominant in the key of F, which leaves us on a musical cliffhanger if you will. It's not quite as unresolved as if it ended on a C, which would be the dominant, the note/chord that most strongly wants to be pulled back to the root of F, but it's still an unresolved note creating tension. But then if you loop it back into Igor's Theme, that resolves that B♭ note by starting on an E♭, with B♭ being the dominant to E♭. B♭ to E♭ is a perfect V-I cadence, an even stronger resolution than B♭ back into F would've been. And this has to be intentional. It's a little musical easter egg that reinforces the narrative loop of the album.

I don't know if someone suggested it before, but it could be fun if you reacted to promo material before album itself. I think this slow unfolding of the aesthetics adds a lot to the experience, especially now when Tyler is at his most creative. If you're gonna see the first Igor clips you'll see what I mean :D

banyan

And I didn't intend the creative pun 🫣

Katrina

god i can't describe how much i love this album. still my fav one or maybe tied with chromakopia.... although maybe overall album-wise this is more cohesive so slightly above chroma for me but they're close. and i still think tyler hasn't made another song (besides maybe "sorry not sorry") that would kick "are we still friends?" out of my #1 fav tyler song spot. btw the girl references on "earfquake" that threw you off is because he initially wrote that song for bieber but he turned it down so tyler just took it and added to this album, so thematically it ties in with the rest of the album but wasn't initially written FOR it so it's a lil different :)

Eric Napier

The cover looks how it does, because it’s based on a picture of Grace Jones’, “Living My Life”. Just search Grace Jones, and the image will come right up.

John Reign

I love your reactions so much. I listened to this album so many times, and you still brought new things to my attention.

James Edwards

I'm happy Tyler earned a Grammy for this album. Awkward that the award was for Best Rap Album because... what?

markallenwils

The bridge on I don’t love u anymore >>>> so beautiful

David Grace

I think people misunderstand Tyler last song. It is not sung from the perspective of himself but from the person who miss out on him. The POV changes at the end of the album at least that is how I interpret it, it can go both ways.

Vambie_Reacts

oh my gosh I love this thank you so much for sharing

Vambie_Reacts

omg so cool thank you for sharing🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

housedust

To me, this is Tyler's magnum opus.

Nico C

To me, the ending is like "hey, we're friends, I caught feelings, I still think you're cool, hopefully this hasn't damaged the friendship". And IGOR is like, that sense of rejection. The little goblin man that follows and obeys the person with power over him.

Andre Jackson

Ive always seen this album as a “break up” album but going through the stages of loss/grief throughout the album. Starting with denial, going into anger with new magic wand and a boy is a gun, depression with puppet and finally acceptance but then looping the album, the cycle continues

Andre Jackson

Its like igor actually accepted that things were over with the boy but the guy came back into his life after … repeating the cycle

Reginald Torian

Love the investment by Are We Still Friends lol. All the panic of a concerned bestie.

igor

I know I'm super late, but in reference to GONE GONE/THANK YOU.. You have to keep in mind how the previous track ended with him saying "I don't know what's harder, letting go or just being okay with it" So this point forward is him not letting go, but trying to cope with the situation lol

JB

I second this

Lucas Schekin

The whole album is seamless with the transitions... but the best part is that the end transitions back into the first track, enforcing the whole idea of a loop that "Igor" is stuck in. That idea you brought up of the listener knowing something ominous that Igor might not is super interesting, especially considering how after the first listen, a listener might know that this has happened before and where it is going while Igor chooses to ignore it (when they choose to replay the album).

Lucas Schekin

i also wouldn't really consider it a rap album, but it does feature a decent amount of rap, and i wouldn't really know where else to place it. would be a crime for it not to be nominated also.

David Grace

Igor is a lot about being in love with an avoidant. It's a psychosis. Avoidant are good at bread crumbing getting romance initiated but they are flakey and inconsistent. When you stop giving them attention they come around and instead of running from you they end up chasing you. That is common avoidant behavior. It's basically psychology.

Daquanboi

Fun fact about me with this album. I absolutely hated this at first listen cause I came from flower boy. I don’t know why but my mind wasn’t open to see the vision. I saw him in concert years later for the first time for the CMIYGL tour in Houston and he played “I THINK” and I loved it. I then listened to the album that same night and I absolutely loved it and I cringe at myself for hating it on first listen cause this album is an absolute gem.

Vambie_Reacts

This has happened to me many times too. It's the reason I'm a big believer that sometimes music doesn't find us or hit for us until we need it or are ready to hear it in a way that we can appreciate it. I'm happy that you gave it another chance 🫶🏻

Colby Johnson

The timing of the pauses on new magic wand 😭

Plumsify

are we still friends is heartbreaking
