Whoever voted for Flower Boy instead of IGOR for the Apple Music Top 100 OAT, must've been smoking something. Like, Flower Boy is great, but IGOR is another level of art, it is a masterpiece.
I think that the closeted Erik theory is interesting but personally my theory is that Igor is an unreliable narrator and that Erik is probably straight or just simply not into him but Igor is so infatuated with him that he believes he is into him. Maybe, just my thoughts on it.
i actually love this theory, it would make since with how in love Igor is with Erik to the point where he has deluded himself into thinking that Erik must love him.
I agree with Igor being an unreliable narrator, but in a slightly different way. This is super long so you definitely don’t need to read it, but this is my theory: In the start of the album, Igor is working up the courage to talk to “him” (IGOR’S THEME - BOYFRIEND). But my theory is, he never actually does this, and starting at RUNNING OUT OF TIME, the album is actually a fake scenario in which Igor is brave enough to make subtle moves, but this fake scenario is also the worst case scenario. The scenario in which it doesn’t work out, either that he doesn’t reciprocate Igor’s feelings or is too scared to come out of the closet, or that he is hung up on a girl instead of Igor. The entire rest of the album is this fake scenario, and at the end, Igor has convinced himself that it’s not worth it, that he’s not really in love with him (I DON’T LOVE YOU ANYMORE), and this worst case scenario really will happen, so they should just be friends (ARE WES STILL FRIENDS?). He’s so paranoid about the worst happening that he won’t even try and chase this man that he’s in love with, which makes sense, considering Igor’s, in my opinion, shy and insecure personality. It honestly doesn’t make sense to think that Igor would have the guts to make any moves on him. It’s just not who he is. So theoretically, we don’t know what would’ve happened if Igor had just decided to talk to him, maybe even make a move. The “events” of this entire album could have technically happened whilst Igor was sitting on a park bench, or even going on a RUN. The song EARFQUAKE proves this theory right off the bat in my opinion. The use of the lyric “for real this time” over and over again shows that Igor has envisioned at least a few times finally going up to this guy that he’s in love with, but each time, he doesn’t do it, a theme that I think continues throughout the album. He’s just doesn’t do it. This theory also makes sense considering the past themes in Tyler’s albums of delusion, or just having stuff in your head. In the Wolf trilogy, Dr. TC, Ace, Tron Cat, and Samuel, are all in Wolf Haley’s (who I believe to be the version or part of Tyler in this trilogy that is closest to who Tyler is in reality) head. And he has to go through the delusion to let them go. Igor has to go through this delusion to let his love interest go, for better or for worse. So really, this album is not for the people whose heart got broken, it’s for the people who are too scared to try. (If you read this whole thing, I’m so sorry but also thank you so much, I love you) And if you wanted to factor the loop in, the album could be what runs through Igor’s mind every time he considers finally making the move on him.
there’s no way to explain the relatability of this album. i’m not gay, i’ve never wanted to kill another’s ex, i don’t wear a blond wig and a pink suit. but the swinging between “i don’t need them” and “maybe i could have them back” is so relatable. especially in the later half with puppet into what’s good. this album is genuine perfection when it comes to love, heartbreak, and everything in between, and i’ll never truly be able to explain it.
As someone who struggles with borderline personality disorder, I’d like to say that I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but Tyler has made TWO characters that have perfectly described my experiences (Samuel and Igor) and it makes me love him so much more.
The guy who got me to the entire Kendrick lamar discography with the video about DAMN. now posts about my second fav album. IGOR . Glad to know you're doing well.
Same here! Im into kendrick now because of that video and the beef. The beef made me like the artist but not listen to his music. That video made me actively look for more kendrick songs and listen to damn front to back.
i just realized he didn’t mention the loop cause it happens with the video. if you have loop video on it ends and starts with a black screen, same location and when it fades out its the same location. Oh i just rewatched the vid and he does talk bout it oopsies
I'd like to add something In Earfquake we hear the lyrics "Cause when it all comes crashing down, I'll need you" And in Puppet, we hear the sirens at the end, signalling when everything comes crashing down, and the rest of the album is Tyler showing how he can't move on, and that he needs Erik, just like he said in Earfquake Which is more proof of this album being a loop, and it shows that Tyler already knows what'll happen, he knows everything will come crashing down. But he still tries again, because he needs this guy. This really is an amazing album by Tyler, and an even better video breaking it down Well done Mr TennisThom
idk abt magnum opus he still has a lot of music to come if anything wolf is his magnum opus he was saving beats and songs since he started working on music specifically for that album
i cant wait, dude. if i can, i'd like to make a request for the next deep dive video. to pimp a butterfly is an album that i'd really like to understand the real intricacies and details of. other people have done it before but you explain things better than anyone else. plus, you offer a nice visual. love the videos, man, keep 'em coming.
@@R4lka TPAB is an album that needs a lot of listens. It took me 3-4 times to understand the story of the album, and then a few more to grasp the message. But once you get it, I firmly believe that it says one of the most beautiful messages in music ever. My advice would be to find the themes of the album and try track back from there. Idk maybe I don't make sense lol
You know what, this video wasn’t just a video essay it was a fucking masterpiece. Thank you sir for your hard work, dedication and commitment to such a beautiful video that tied in beautifully with the end and start of the Igor album. Great work man
You're my new favorite TH-camr and we have so much music taste in common. I love your perspectives on music and themes and stories, I'm extremely hyped for this 😀

I love the how the story makes more sense as you listen to it more. Like every time Tyler says don’t leave it’s my fault, it’s like he keeps doin shit and has to make up for it
31:32 Lmao I dont know why I never noticed the insinuation of "Do you need head?" I love when Tyler does that though, its such a good way to convey uncertainty about what hes about to say but still what he feels. He also did it in boredom when he says "What the fuck is the problem is it me cause Im not solved I'm... Bored..." The lines before would make you assume hes going to end the verse with "Gay" but he ende it with an insecure "Bored" that trails off into quietness. God, I love Tyler's writing so much, so creative, and great video Thom. I've been feinin for a new video from you. I've just been watching the DAMN. analysis and the wolf trilogy videos on repeat lol
SO happy you included a discussion of Boyfriend, most analysis vids I've seen about the album don't include it. Got SO excited when it started to play after I Think in this vid 😁
I literally just found this guy this week, binged all his videos, and was so upset when i saw that he doesnt post super frequently. So imagine how excited I was when I saw this
I loved the video, but it would have been great to see you talk about Best Interest, because Tyler confirmed it to be a scrapped Igor song and the lyrics clearly have a place in this story.
These are Cartis lyrics on Earthquake: We ain't gotta ball, D-Rose, huh I don't give a fuck 'bout nothin', huh Breathin' like fuck my lungs, huh Just might call my lawyer, huh Plug gon' set me up, huh (Yeah) Bitch, don't set me up (Okay) I'm with Tyler, yeah (Slime) He ride like the car, huh And she wicked, huh, yeah Like Woah Vicky, huh, yeah (Like Woah Vicky) Oh my God, hold up, um These diamonds not Tiffany, huh, yeah (Woah, woah) So in love (I been so in love) So in love (I been so in love)
This album was so monumental into the healing and acceptance of the 8 years that I was stuck in a toxic relationship. Honestly never felt more understood and someone/artist that could grasp every single emotion and feeling through the years of being trapped in a never ending circle. Thank you for doing this breakdown couldnt of done it any better :)
You probably won't see this, but I found tyler off of a random TH-cam short, Earfquake was playing in the background, and i liked the video, recommending me more of this random dude, until I found your video of the trilogy. I from there went on to listen to igor, at night in my room, just staring at the ceiling. That's the first time I've ever teared up to an album, it's also when my entire music taste changed, I had always wanted to be a musician before I'd ever heard of Tyler, but Igor pushed me into wanting to create music fully, the details of it all were just masterful, so I'd like to that you so much for showing me Tyler, even if the trilogy wasn't the best start lol. Keep making these incredible videos, thank you for everything 💯🔥❤
@@grayhoodieman girl I like called one of my best friends “the most attractive“ at a sleepover in a tent and asked to sleep on his mattress. He declined, told me about it and said that he doesn’t really want a relationship, but also wouldn’t decline if she asked him out. She also gives me signs, calls me her “spirit animal“, hugs me when we meet, worries about me thinking of her as stupid… pretty complicated.
your original video on the wolf trilogy was what convinced me to go listen to tyler, starting off with igor and its so nice to understand the art and your analysis more! anyway thank you for both videos
There was this one girl that I really liked, and I went through a very similar story to Igor but with her. When I first found Igor, I didn't really like it at first, but I think it's because I didn't get it. I had never listened to rap outside of Biggy and Eminem (from when my parents played them), so I didn't really know how to listen to Igor. But the last track really stuck with me. I kept listening to "Are We Still Friends", and eventually I gave the album another shot. And another. And another. And within a year, not only had it become my favorite album of all time, but it helped me finally get over her. Ofc now there's this OTHER girl that I'm obsessing over which is NOTHING like the story in Igor, but that's part of the album, too. The endless cycle.
Bro i know this pure coincidence but im so happy that this video released today this is actually one of the best birthday gifts ive ever gotten thank you so much
Thank you so much for making this, Igor is my favorite album ever made, and I relate to the constant cycle of falling in and out of love, almost being trapped. This album is so close to my heart and will forever be my favorite album ever. Oh god I just got to the puppet portion of the video and i'm a sobbing mess
Every since your deep dive into the Wolf Trilogy I've been hoping for a deep dive into Igor by you, there are plenty of other essays about Igor but I wanted to see one in your style and this video did not disappoint
I love the format of your videos man. From the WOLF trilogy video that got me into your channel, to the DAMN video when I started really getting into Kendrick and now this one. The quality absolutely makes your content worth the wait
Igor was the very first album I sat down and really listened to and this was the first I ever heard of Tyler the creator’s music this album made me feel so many emotions I’ve never felt listening to music I’m now a huge Tyler the creator fan and I’ve listened to 5 of his albums and each time I find myself going back to Igor (Btw I found him in 2020 and I’m 14 currently so back then I didn’t listen albums)
This is such amazingly put together album. After a couple of listens when it came out, i picked up on the themes of chasing/running, and obsession/acceptance. I absolutely loved how Tyler split them and the album it into two ‘seasons’. To me that’s what it is when you listen, it’s like you’re watching this series or these episodes of someone’s life in your head. The story telling is phenomenal, and as a band kid at the time, I picked up on the loop straight away. Tyler’s always been a genius to me, every piece he makes, musically pleasing or not, usually has some type of meaning. Pure talent!!! Shoutout all the Igors and background characters :)
Can you do all kendrick albums now? Your damn breakdown is the best I have ever seen for a kendrick album on TH-cam and I need one for all the other albums
Wow, just finished, one of the best things I’ve ever watched, the sheer beauty is remarkable. Can’t recommend this anymore to anyone. Really incredible
Thank you guys so much for watching!

I think that the closeted Erik theory is interesting but personally my theory is that Igor is an unreliable narrator and that Erik is probably straight or just simply not into him but Igor is so infatuated with him that he believes he is into him.
Maybe, just my thoughts on it.
thats wildd
i actually love this theory, it would make since with how in love Igor is with Erik to the point where he has deluded himself into thinking that Erik must love him.
I agree with Igor being an unreliable narrator, but in a slightly different way.
This is super long so you definitely don’t need to read it, but this is my theory:
In the start of the album, Igor is working up the courage to talk to “him” (IGOR’S THEME - BOYFRIEND). But my theory is, he never actually does this, and starting at RUNNING OUT OF TIME, the album is actually a fake scenario in which Igor is brave enough to make subtle moves, but this fake scenario is also the worst case scenario.

Great vid. Next could we get a deep dive of To Pimp A Butterfly?
This is without a doubt, Tyler’s magnum opus. There’s a definitely an argument for this to be considered a top 10 album of the 2010s.
idk abt magnum opus he still has a lot of music to come if anything wolf is his magnum opus he was saving beats and songs since he started working on music specifically for that album
When he says “was it my august, shit i dont remember” is he maybe talking about the song november on flower boy that this love life was his november.

Ever since you dropped your deep dive into blonde I’ve been waiting for a deep dive of this album, finally some quality content to watch🙏🏾🔥
I loved the video, but it would have been great to see you talk about Best Interest, because Tyler confirmed it to be a scrapped Igor song and the lyrics clearly have a place in this story.
I genuinely think this is the best type of deep diving ever on TH-cam.
Been here since the deep dive into geogaddi, and you've come so far, so happy that you uploaded again😭
Video suggestion: The story behind GKMC.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TENNISTHOM FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
These are Cartis lyrics on Earthquake:
We ain't gotta ball, D-Rose, huh
I don't give a fuck 'bout nothin', huh
Breathin' like fuck my lungs, huh
Just might call my lawyer, huh
Plug gon' set me up, huh (Yeah)
Bitch, don't set me up (Okay)
I'm with Tyler, yeah (Slime)
He ride like the car, huh
And she wicked, huh, yeah
Like Woah Vicky, huh, yeah (Like Woah Vicky)
Oh my God, hold up, um
These diamonds not Tiffany, huh, yeah (Woah, woah)
So in love (I been so in love)
So in love (I been so in love)

This album was so monumental into the healing and acceptance of the 8 years that I was stuck in a toxic relationship. Honestly never felt more understood and someone/artist that could grasp every single emotion and feeling through the years of being trapped in a never ending circle. Thank you for doing this breakdown couldnt of done it any better :)
Which album do you think is better?
Like: IGOR
Comment: Flower Boy
Both: CMIYGL
Hard to choose so I did both
Both
Both:)
I personally prefer flower boy tho that's the album that introduced me to Tyler and I come back to it way more than I do to IGOR.
Both
You probably won't see this, but I found tyler off of a random TH-cam short, Earfquake was playing in the background, and i liked the video, recommending me more of this random dude, until I found your video of the trilogy. I from there went on to listen to igor, at night in my room, just staring at the ceiling. That's the first time I've ever teared up to an album, it's also when my entire music taste changed, I had always wanted to be a musician before I'd ever heard of Tyler, but Igor pushed me into wanting to create music fully, the details of it all were just masterful, so I'd like to that you so much for showing me Tyler, even if the trilogy wasn't the best start lol. Keep making these incredible videos, thank you for everything 💯🔥❤
just wanted to let you know, we appreciate these videos and the amount of effort you put into them. from the bottom of my heart, thank u Thom :)
Bro just completed the best 4 video run in youtube history
WERE SO BACK
YESSIRR
It's like 50 minutes long too 🦅🦅🦅🦅
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR DIS VIDEO FROM UU FOR SO LONG
Thank you for this masterpiece, Mr.Tennisracket. IGOR is my favourite album and I always want you to make a deep dive video about it. Thank you.
Mr. Tennisracked ‼️
We need flower boy vid next ,I was patiently waiting for igor vid lol ,such a great Channel
I literally got thrown into a love triangle TODAY and you release this
Gimme the tea bro
Watt pad ahh
@@grayhoodieman girl I like called one of my best friends “the most attractive“ at a sleepover in a tent and asked to sleep on his mattress. He declined, told me about it and said that he doesn’t really want a relationship, but also wouldn’t decline if she asked him out. She also gives me signs, calls me her “spirit animal“, hugs me when we meet, worries about me thinking of her as stupid… pretty complicated.
@@echoonyoutube you're about to make IGOR 2 with all this shit
@@echoonyoutubeI guess you should re-listen to IGOR lmao
you know shit's a banger vid when it's longer then the acutual album
Such an instant classic of an album, another great analysis man!
your original video on the wolf trilogy was what convinced me to go listen to tyler, starting off with igor and its so nice to understand the art and your analysis more! anyway thank you for both videos
BRO PLEASE DO ANOTHER KENDRICK ALBUM LIKE GKMC OR MR. MORALE
Oh it would be so good, Mr. Morale would be more interesting, a more deep, darker story, where gkmc would be more agressive
@@Flipvip-Mr morale fits the stories on this channel
TPAB 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We NEED a Mr. Morale video, as a sequel to the DAMN video!
Now that you've covered half of the albums, you gotta do the rest
Please
There was this one girl that I really liked, and I went through a very similar story to Igor but with her. When I first found Igor, I didn't really like it at first, but I think it's because I didn't get it. I had never listened to rap outside of Biggy and Eminem (from when my parents played them), so I didn't really know how to listen to Igor. But the last track really stuck with me. I kept listening to "Are We Still Friends", and eventually I gave the album another shot. And another. And another. And within a year, not only had it become my favorite album of all time, but it helped me finally get over her.
Ofc now there's this OTHER girl that I'm obsessing over which is NOTHING like the story in Igor, but that's part of the album, too. The endless cycle.
Bro i know this pure coincidence but im so happy that this video released today this is actually one of the best birthday gifts ive ever gotten thank you so much
happy birthday!
@@efudugdgidgdujgd thank you
Igor was my gateway to good music
OMG ILYSM YOU MADE AN IGOR VIDEO YES!!!!!!
this one being in color is actually amazing too, my god
you know is a good explaining video when you dont even have to skip a little part
thank u man
I'm begging you to do Mr Morale
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. A true masterpiece of an album and a way to tell the story
I love how you analyze albums man. Can you pls analyze To Pimp A Butterfly?
This album comforted me so much and just because of that I will be forever thankful to Tyler for making me understand how I felt
I used to only listen to EARFQUAKE and NEW MAGIC WAND
Now I think I love this whole album 😂
Thank you so much for making this, Igor is my favorite album ever made, and I relate to the constant cycle of falling in and out of love, almost being trapped. This album is so close to my heart and will forever be my favorite album ever.
Oh god I just got to the puppet portion of the video and i'm a sobbing mess
LETS GOOOOOO I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🔥
dude I'm so grateful for a deep dive into igor video, you always edit these type of videos perfectly, thank you. keep up the great work.
need a to pimp a butterfly video
OMG yasss
Every since your deep dive into the Wolf Trilogy I've been hoping for a deep dive into Igor by you, there are plenty of other essays about Igor but I wanted to see one in your style and this video did not disappoint
THE VIDEO IS A LOOP 🔥
This is literally my favorite album right now, it’s such a unique sound and it makes me sad this era is over
YOU HAVE 100K NOW?! OH GOD I HAVEN’T CHECKED YOUR SUBSCRIBER COUNT IN SO LONG
I love the format of your videos man. From the WOLF trilogy video that got me into your channel, to the DAMN video when I started really getting into Kendrick and now this one. The quality absolutely makes your content worth the wait
A GKMC video by this guy would go so hard!!
Igor was the very first album I sat down and really listened to and this was the first I ever heard of Tyler the creator’s music this album made me feel so many emotions I’ve never felt listening to music I’m now a huge Tyler the creator fan and I’ve listened to 5 of his albums and each time I find myself going back to Igor
(Btw I found him in 2020 and I’m 14 currently so back then I didn’t listen albums)
Suggestions for video

This is such amazingly put together album. After a couple of listens when it came out, i picked up on the themes of chasing/running, and obsession/acceptance. I absolutely loved how Tyler split them and the album it into two ‘seasons’. To me that’s what it is when you listen, it’s like you’re watching this series or these episodes of someone’s life in your head. The story telling is phenomenal, and as a band kid at the time, I picked up on the loop straight away. Tyler’s always been a genius to me, every piece he makes, musically pleasing or not, usually has some type of meaning. Pure talent!!! Shoutout all the Igors and background characters :)
Even tho i know the story i know this gonna be better
i love this album, but combined with my favorite deep dive youtuber doing a vid on it got me head over heels
Can you do all kendrick albums now? Your damn breakdown is the best I have ever seen for a kendrick album on TH-cam and I need one for all the other albums
finally u did IGOR man, i been looking forward to this 🙏
everybody gangsta until "engabodiro"
dongyafuhbounun
Wow, just finished, one of the best things I’ve ever watched, the sheer beauty is remarkable. Can’t recommend this anymore to anyone. Really incredible

The sigma returns

Outstanding work as always!!! See you when the TPAB video comes out😏
