He was always a "capable artist," flower boy is beautiful, but his previous works were also prodigious and shouldn't be dismissed-I think they were just as "emotionally honest," he was just a different person in a different place, rapping to purge and use humor to deal with the absurdities & difficulties of life
Bastard is a solid, good album. The fact that it's dismissed as 'edgy' and 'rough' is incredibly stupid. He was rapping his ass off throughout and the profane, dark humor was part of a concept tied in to the album that people would only get if they got over that dumbass bias. However Flowerboy to CMIYGL was an orgasmic experience.
Everyone has IGOR as the number 1 album, for me it’s Flower Boy, because it’s the first time that Tyler really opened up and see his potential als a producer and really let his maturity and creative mind go. I also really love IGOR for the whole storytelling of the album and the more hip-hop focussed album. But everytime I hear the dreamy synths with a big focus on his own life and his own thoughts. I’ll simply stick until the end. Every single time.
@@deeleoGot Igor Number 1. I love Flower Boy but I don’t think the album ends the best even though Ive been replaying this more than Igor because of Garden Shed.
@@tobyokafor6069 you may not think it’s good, but it does give a great insight to why he was always saying things to be “controversial” and is one of his more emotional albums if you look deeper than the surface. and it appears the album was about his way of expressing his feelings is different then others, so it’s perceived as shocking and profane
this was one of the best deep-dives into flower boy that i've ever seen. the connection between who dat boy, pothole and garden shed is one i never saw but now makes so much sense
I recommend you listen to the dissect podcast. It goes track by track and analyzes the lyrics, the themes and the music theory of this album. I other seasons include frank ocean, Kanye and Kendrick. If you like this you will absolutely love dissect.
Flowerboy changed my life, the juxtaposition of cars (a very "masculine" thing) and flowers (a very "femenine" thing) is amazing. Defying the heteronormative world, this album expanded queer identities. Thank you sooo much for this video, keep the hard work :)
@@ARALONLINE They put masculine in quotes, as cars have stereotypically been seen in the past as masculine. Then right after it they say how the addition of flowers to the album helps to defies both the original notion of car "masculinity", and flower "femininity". These are things that a "feminist" that you speak about would agree with. I assume that someone that you're describing would agree with breaking heteronormative expectations as both this and feminism are forward thinking, equality based ideas. ("Liberal" ideas one could say)
Flower Boy feels so different to all of Tyler's album. It's where Tyler explains who he is as a person, he went from edgy and scary to an emotional god.
I'm surprised Middle Eight didn't tackle the emotional and musical growth of all Odd Future members from Earl to Tyler to even Hodgy Beats. How OFWGKTA had to separate in order to grow up on their own.
Yes! This is why Flower Boy has such a special place in my heart. It's not my favourite album in terms of the songs it has (although 911 is my 2nd favourite Tyler song), but man am I grateful for it's existence!
Love the editing on this vid, the simple yet very artistic and colorful edits are amazing, you've been steadily improving and it's absolutely incredible, keep it up man!
I’ve been saying that flower boy is Tyler’s most important album it’s what kept him relevant and more mainstream, if he didn’t drop flower boy and just another decent to mediocre album he wouldn’t be mainstream or as popular more underground. All though I believe Igor and call me if you get lost are better. This album is still a 9 and his most important. And this album paved ways for him to have 2 number 1 albums and a Grammy.
This was the álbum that got me into him I was in high school when Goblin came out and I thought he was lame and a try Hard. Once he opened up emotionally, it reached likeable heights
Same! My friends been bumping Tyler for ageeeesssss and it just never really clicked with me until he put out flowerboy. That being said now that I’m a big fan of Tyler I’ve gone back to his earlier music and I do enjoy it, or at least some of the songs but new Tyler is Definitly the best
I remember hearing about him when I was younger but he seemed to edgy and weird for me at the time lol. Then flower boy came out as soon as I got out of high school when my friend would play him in the car and I was like damn, I’ve been missing out on him for years. I will say that I’m not a huge fan of most of his works before flower boy with an exception of a few songs. But also most everything flower boy and after has been so great to me.
Man i wish i got into him in his early career tbh, but i just like to think i wasnt really a music head back then and been really clueless about its industry. I just got into tyler in igor and im a huge fan of him now and he made me actually listen and follow music XD
I feel like Flower Boy is its own art project but it also acts as a perfect threshold for Igor, like if he dropped another album like Cherry Bomb or Wolf or Goblin and then dropped Igor it would be a lotttt different because in this album it shows the more emotional side of him. And on IGOR he does that but he shares a lot more. The two just go so well together
I listened to this album for the first time in my freshman year of high school in 2017. It was my introduction to tyler and i loved it. Its an album ive been playing ever since it came out. I know the lyrics and tunes by heart. But for some reason, I felt I never really understood what it meant. I always thought see you again was a kind of love song and the meaning of november and other songs were always kind of murky. Recently, Ive been dealing with trying to like myself and be better talking to people and a lot of the time I feel like I’m not good enough. I just relistened to this album today and at the end of enjoy right now, today, i started crying. I loved this album before, maybe for the production and the melodies of the songs. but i love it even more now. this is such a beautiful album man wow
To those who found the narrative in this album interesting, I can’t recommend Dissect Season 4 enough. Great podcast where the host goes in depth into every song in this album and talks about a lot of the themes and cool aspects that Tyler brought with Flower Boy. Highly recommend!
Tyler is brilliant to me one of the most artistic artist in the world, I didn’t know he was in the lgbtq community but glad he could talk about it on one of his best albums.
Crazy editing, crazy design and on top of that, as english is not my native language, you gave me a new interpretation of this album that I already liked so much. Thanks for the great work !
Garden Shed will always stay one of my favorite songs of Tylers if not one of my favourite songs in general just because of the impact it and the whole flower boy album had on me in my self discovery phase and my sexuality, it got me to accept who i am and feel good about it and that one day when im ready, coming out wont be so scary.
This is probably one of the most important albums for me personally, like it helped me so much with my sexuality, i listened to it hundreds of times, i have this shit on vinyl, it's so meticulously crafted. T actually put into words and beautifully made metaphors what me and a lot of other queer people feel, garden shed has me crying literally everytime. This video is incredible, thank you so much for it
It would be really interesting to see if you did a review/commentary on Rihann’s Anti album (R8) which was her final album before she went on an extremely long hiatus. It’s considered her Magnus Opus and many critics have praised it for it’s sound and very Anti-Rihanna vibe. Not to mention that the song Work is very looked upon as the revival of dancehall music in mainstream music.
I’ve had so much love for his albums, but these videos just make me love them and appreciate his genius even more. Beautiful video with amazing editing!
To date, i love this album so much. Everything after has been amazing; and everything before showed his genius in the rough. But there is something about this one for me. Can pick out singles all day but the experience front to back is like no other
great quality vid as always. honestly ive never been the biggest fan of flowerboy. i think theres some good tracks but as a whole work it just isnt my style. especially after listening to Igor as my introduction to tyler and seeing that as a perfect album, flowerbiy just never connected with me. after this vid tho i think ima revisit it :)
My favorite Tyler album for sure. Really personal for me as i played it during college at the time. The cover art also reminds of the Eastern Washington hills Go Cougs
@@justingreen575 in his other video on that album, he talks about the long drive in cali! I like how this is also an album told through out a ride in the car :))
@@caseywitcher9597 i love listening to music in the car. People say it's best to listen to a new album in your room with no "distractions" but I believe when this came out Tyler himself said to go outside to skate or to go for a drive. Some albums are so cinematic it deserves a view
He just saw the reception to cherry bomb and said he felt like he wouldn’t have a career much longer if he dropped more like that so he just made flower bomb with more pop elements to make sure it was good reception
Throughout Tyler’s albums, he always created and played characters. Flower boy feels like the only album truly about him.
YES! This comment!
CMIYGL is a very truthful album as well
@@homelessharry336 yep
i agree a lot w this. but there are some songs in most of his albums that are pretty much truly abt him. if you get what i mean.
He said this is the album where he actually expressed his feelings and herder line personal life.
Dude, your editing on this is *chef's kiss*
100% some of the best on TH-cam
As always
how does he do the hovering effects for his images?
Trusss, the narration made me fall in love with the album all again!
ikr i cant believe how amazing this editing is

His rap skills really started budding
This album made me love rap

finally someone agrees with my favorite album lmao
@@deeleoGot Igor Number 1.
I love Flower Boy but I don’t think the album ends the best even though Ive been replaying this more than Igor because of Garden Shed.
As tyler put it...
Wolf-Caterpiller
Cherry Bomb- In a cocoon (metamorphisis)
Flower Boy -Butterfly
IGOR- Bloom!
CMIYGL- "swag".😂
I mean CMIYGL is just him flexing/vibing and I love it.
You left out Goblin
@@jamesbunn2236 bastard isn’t really that good tbh besides a couple songs

This was his most important album because without it he would’ve been done for, for sure. His relevancy would’ve been drained.
@@producedbykhireyakeem4340 that’s what I said my brothrems
Can we expect a video about CMIYGL? I think you would make an amazing edit and I like hearing your thoughts on stuff.
great timing. i’m getting into tyler’s music more
Would love to see a video covering Good Kid M.A.A.D City I feel like the analysis would be something really enjoyable to watch
this album really shaped 2017’s whole aesthetic and thats crazy
Sometimes, whenever I find some time to do something again, I could listen to Flower Boy. Maybe even many times, because I will never get bored of it.
Is the "boredom" reference intentional? Either way i love it
This was the álbum that got me into him
I was in high school when Goblin came out and I thought he was lame and a try Hard. Once he opened up emotionally, it reached likeable heights
