everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but this is an awful take bro. it may not have been a full "rap" album but it still has a TON of bars and rapping on it. and as a project as a whole, its one of the best of 2024
Mumia Bagley
This shit was super trash dawg lol and I’m only saying it’s trash because it’s labeled as a hip hop album lol bruh this ain’t no dam hip hop lol this man is barely rapping hell I wouldn’t even call it rapping lol I’m sorry this some good disco party like music but if we considering this a hip hop album this shit is super trash man be fr lol I can’t take yall reaction serious lol
Christien Stribling
prince asking "what's happening ?" during sticky , was HILARIOUS .🤣
Terrence Reid
lol not just black men bro. Black people's hair in general.
Maya
Right. I just paid thinking I’m bout to watch with the full songs. and it’s still chopped like it’s YouTube.
Aqwotic

Anthony Videtto
Glossing over his verse on thought i was dead is a crime
Marvelus
In a nutshell, “I killed you” he’s rapping about how we treat/do black hair/heritage.
James Miley
Why are the Patreon reactions not uncut?
Dheeraj
this album leaves you speechless and contemplating is the very purpose of it. legendary album
Trent Williams
And to do an entire song with doubles and triples never straying from the hair bars is insane bro
Trent Williams
Killed you is about the importance and jaded history of a black man and his hair
Angel Gabriel
Like him , the ending where his mom confesses got me heated at her. Tyler his whole life talking shit on his dad not knowing his dad always wanted to be there… kinda feel bad for the man.. but yea that song made me be mad at Tyler’s mom . But it’s for sure my favorite song cause I relate heavy. That shit even got me thinking what if my mom did that to me. I grew up without a father
Marquis Johnson
lol y'all always reaching but I don't mind it at all lol Love y'all fr haha. My friend passed that I used to check out music with and we would be doing the same thing. It's been since 2020. I appreciate y'all doing this!
ADI1992
The beat on the second half of Sticky is from Get Buck by Young Buck, I’ve always thought it was straight 🔥
ImHigh Sorry
Drake does not have a tear drop under his eye, he has his Moms initials
Ethan
Possibly. My theory is that Hey Jane is actually the Tyler’s thoughts of how conversation/process his mum and his dad went through before Tyler was born.
Ethan
Maddest Theory but let me land: at the end of the track of Like Him, his mum talks about how it’s her fault. But he still strives to be like him. In Hey Jane he raps about nearly having a kid and the B side of that track speaks on her doing it alone. Tyler was nearly Like Him. Having a child he wasn’t ready for. The Flip side: listening to Like Him and Hey Jane could be interpreted as a conversation between his mum and his dad - rather than it being his pregnancy scare
Renny
I killed you is about the truama around our hair
Jae Right
Generational trauma of hyper-independence: In Hey Jane, she is willing to have this baby and raise it overseas, in the same way that Tyler’s mother later apologizes for intentionally raising him apart from his father, even though both men are ultimately referred to as cool and good.
Jae Right
Yes! Sticky is Hillbillies Pt. 2! Full circle trolling. 😂
Itz Zay
ngl I'm surprised you guys didn't point out the first verse in Take Your Mask Off sounding like it could be shots towards drake but instead reached even harder for the Sticky verse lmaooo
Diego Cortes
Talking about berries and oils and how he killed his hair with chemicals and trying to straighten it out too. I mean, he had to kinda address his hair style in a way
Diego Cortes
Yeah it’s about black peoples hair, he’s talking about blow outs and kinks and curls and how people don’t understand their “hair”-itage
Tyler Jones
no hes talking to himself i believe
Nick Rosman
not including your reaction to doechii's "Air them out like a queef" is a crime.
Lizzie
great video 🙏🏼 I couldn’t agree more about to monday/friday drops. If your album is full of bangers, drop that on a friday! if it’s conceptual/chill, that’s a monday drop. I hope more artists do it.
troy garner
Is that last verse on take your mask off about drake
Sam M
I think it’s about the baby they aborted per the previous track, Hey Jane (double entendre involved though)
Hunter Graham
in I killed you i believe that tylers talking about his hair
Chance
If you think Judge Judy still being on TV is absurd, you should look up how much money she makes (spoiler: it’s $47 million per year).
Jouvanne Thomas
Yes. Tyler is technically a Cali rapper but isn’t claimed because his sound is so different
CoolHapps
I said the same thing, sonically reminiscent to CB but more refined/evolved. Just shows how much he’s grown overall from the themes to the lyrics to the sound
ewan 510
listen to i killed u while taking it from the pov of him talking abt hair and it will make alot more sense
VibeVilla
Appreciate you supporting!
Anthony Sanchez
Yeah, I didn’t hear it at first but now every time I hear him say “always talking about potential bitch I am the better me” that specific bar sounds Drake esque as hell lmao I can’t unhear it.
Kagiso M. Keetse
Hey, just out of curiosity isn't "Jane" maybe the same girl from Wilshire and she now might be pregnant with Tyler's baby?
Kagiso M. Keetse
Happy Easter Prince !
dc
Amazing album. Thank you, Tyler. As always, I appreciate the music discussions we can only get here at VibeVilla. Good stuff, guys.
Jason Norwood
After a few listens I feel this album is a refined Cherry Bomb where CB was very experimental but it had all the parts to be cohesive and this pulled it all together with sounds from there but also sounds and references from his other work. I get a lot of Wolf feels from this(We get an answer to Answer off Wolf) as well as that sonic feel of his more recent run of Flower Boy/IGOR. A really great album for me and I'd have to go back over everything we've gotten in 2024 but this is up there for AOTY. Excited to see what Ab-Soul has for us next week as it seems like he's going to do a mainstream esque album with that classic Soulo wordplay. Earthgang album was a bit bloated/mid imo which is a bit disappointing but it was a car listen so maybe it'll be better on headphones
Zach Jakubowsky
Never disappoints. You guys are some of the select few who truly appreciate and respect the art that goes into these projects.
Matt Peterson
Don't think he sounded anything like Drake on Sticky tbh but fire reaction as always
Expectaytions
Loved the reaction, keep it up gents
Jason Norwood
That is not a drake diss. Tyler's talking about himself there with the 'paranoid since 19', 'selling those weird ass clothes'/'put em in a trunk' (He sells luggage thru his Le Fleur brand), etc.
ImHigh Sorry
Eminem - The Way I Am, he also touches on this subject throught his career on songs like fine line, castle, beautiful, etc.
Zach Jakubowsky
Let’s go!! The best reactors out, hands down.
Juztis
Also, I’m glad y’all caught the drake-type flow on sticky too I thought I was goin crazy lol
Juztis
Always love your guys’ reactions. Not only do I appreciate how well y’all catch bars, but also how you pay attention to the greater themes across the album and discuss the context relative to the artist themselves. I’m a big tyler fan so I appreciated this listen. Much love
babo
i killed you is about black peoples hair and the relationship we and society has had with it.. when you listen to it again it becomes soo obvious
Hwy
Y’all should check out the new D2x project
ImHigh Sorry
Lame ass comparison lol totally different artistry and work ethic
tgood
Can’t wait to watch - I really hope you guys catch the drake diss in the 3rd verse of “take your mask off”
Bpinardi
The part on Sticky you thought sounded like drake I thought sounded like Saba and I had to look it up when I first heard it
shots
Fire reaction. New Ab-Soul album soon, 3 singles out. Early November. West Cosst going crazy this year ❗️
Xenolithic
Hey Jane is a website that provides pills of a certain nature to women in need. With other rappers I would consider it a coincidence, but not Tyler. He's moving crazy on this album.
Mack Nichols
What an album
Chris Malinowski
Are yall from canada? I peeped the raptors hat on prince lol
EricTheSwedishGuy
Tyler is, according to Twitter, projected to do 250-300k. From a Monday drop. We gotta start talking big 3 if Cole's shit doesn't hit - and I'm a huge Cole fan.
enzo
The song "I killed you" has a ton of references to black hairstyle + heritage, I think its about him feeling like he wasn't embracing his hair (heritage) enough. I don't blame you guys for missing it on first listen, especially in the album's flow, but I heavy recommend some more listens to appreciate it :^)
Charles Witherow
I value y’all’s opinion so much fr I find myself waiting to hear what you guys have to say about albums after I’ve formed my own opinions based on what I hear. Seriously yall keep it up!
Faceless P
every album you guys manage to find a potential drake diss loool
Chris Malinowski
Someone on genius said “i killed you” is about black hair & how some kill their natural curls or cover up their hair to assimilate to western culture. Idk how accurate it is but it got a lot of thumbs up on it so maybe
Tre M
I’m not hearing Drake at all on Sticky tbh
slooooth
Daniel Caesar is the feature in St. Chroma !🫶🏽🔥
Karl Daley
Am I in the right mind for this album?????? Sounding way to sinister so far
Karl Daley
Im here for it, his a creative genius. I haven't a single track but I'm looking forward to it.
Jonathan Riley
Don’t forget the Earthgang album
Kevin Lopez
LETS GOOOO
Leon Ricci
You guys do an excellent job- watched you on YouTube for a while and just hopped on here. I appreciate all you do.

YESSSSS
EricTheSwedishGuy
MY GUYS - LET'S GOOO
