Tyler the Creator: From Flower Boy to IGOR
I'm a huge fan of Tyler the Creator's album FLOWER BOY. And considering it's quite different from his previous albums, I was really curious what IGOR would sound like. Was he going to continue in the same vein as he did on FLOWER BOY or would he try something new? After having sat with IGOR since its release, here are some of my thoughts and observations.

    Perhaps the idea that Major Tom is actually a drug addict and that Space Oddity is a metaphor for an overdose could go to explain the rest of Space Oddity as an album and the rest of the songs are prequels detailing Major Tom's drug induced ramblings which could explain the album's many songs that talk of fantasy stories and the bizarre phrasings seen in most if not all songs on the album. The album Space Oddity could be simply Major Tom recording the thoughts he had while under the influence of drugs.

    I've always believed that David Bowie viewed Major Tom as his alter ego, being addicted to drugs and becoming a junkie just like he was. This would also explain the skull since from his perspective, he's just a "deceased junkie" whose significance to life is worth all the songs and life, its weight in jewels, that he gave us before parting

    I personally think of Space Oddity as someone finally fulfilling their dreams, getting what they’ve always wanted, but feeling even emptier than ever. Over the course of the you see Major Tom happy/exited, then confused and unsure what to do, and then a feeling as if he is drifting through his life with no purpose but accepting of his fate

    Major ton is he hero of mine. I know he’s not real but to me he is. I think it’s beautiful how he goes from hero to zero and back to being worshiped after death. I could easily see a movie or series based off the story of major Tom. Also love Peter schillings major Tom song ❤️

    Wow how crazy is it that he passed away 2 days after his last album was released that's very stange. I hadn't even realized David Bowie died a very different kind of artist really there's no one I know that was like him one thing he wasn't scared to express himself or his ideas.

    First three Outkast albums should have been 5mics! (Aquemini was the best to me) I don't care how you phrase it duo, group ect..... Outkast is the best to do it! And they put the south on the map! Great video

    Its challenging to move through live, survive and try and create a legacy worth remembering while also being a tool of an indifferent system that will immediately forget you when you die broken and penniless, even as an Adonis of a man. Bowie knew that people all over the world looked to artists, poets, actors, writers, eccentrics, gurus and celebrities for guidance on what they should be living for and getting some really bad advice; that even he wasn't immune from being seduced by. Theres something about a period of exile for creatives that is profound and unites everyone from lgtb, black, white, rich poor male female etc. disparity is the human condition many spend their entire lives trying to ignore rather than fix. for whatever reason sex, drugs and rock and roll seem to be the cause and solution of every problem.

    Bowie's songs are all open to interpretation by the listener, David himself has said this. He left us a a massive catologue of work to listen to, so headphones on, eyes closed and drift off into David's imagination.

    Their first album, as you noted in the video, is very good. Why don’t you recommended newcomers start there? In fact I don’t think I’ve ever heard you recommend that method of discovering a band. Why is that? It seems the obvious introduction. And the best introduction as you can hear the band evolve if you recommend listeners just go album by album chronologically. Which is what I recently did as I never listened to OutKast before until last week. Chronologically is a great way to go. I highly recommend it.

    This was hard to watch. I lived thru this at 15 years old. I studied this. I lived this album. You have too many facts wrong because it sounds like you did some reader has and have a few memories from that time. You motivated me to show you. I’ll be right back! It’s missing the nuance.

    Great video! I found this very informative and it gave an interesting perspective on Tyler. However, I would suggest not using the jarring "beep" sound to transition between shots. I suffer from tinnitus and this was quite hard for me to hear.
