“Through imperfections and rigidity, the Los Angeles rapper’s seventh album gives us a clear, damning portrait of his humanity—set aglow by contradiction, wrestling with the loneliness that comes with industry praise, and ending without resolution.”
“Tyler, the Creator’s solo catalog charts out quite a journey. Starting out as something of a shock-rap troll — getting banned from performing in certain countries, using an image of some well-pissed pants as album art, embracing the edgiest side of his humor — the enigmatic rapper has spent the latter half of his career proving just how creative and surprisingly sensitive he really is. It’s as if”
“CHROMAKOPIA is Tyler, The Creator's midlife crisis”
“The word "mature" is bit of a backhanded compliment for an album, since it tends to imply that what came before was a bit juvenile. That's certainly the case with Tyler, the Creator, who came of age on 2017's Flower Boy and has been refining his raps ever since, leaving behind the edgelord trolling of his early days to muse on his complicated sexuality and offer romantic mea culpas amidst self-pro”
“Over the course of his past four albums, rapper Tyler, the Creator has traded his edgy teenage Odd Future persona – and homophobic rhymes – for a more nuanced and expansive skillset, with frequent nods to a more fluid sexuality. Cue hits – and Grammys. At once hard-hitting and emotionally disarming, Chromakopia doubles down on three major themes: maturing (or not), the act of mask-wearing, and Tyl”
“Tyler continues his creative streak on 'Chromakopia'.”
“**💭 Thoughts:** Tyler, The Creator’s 2024 release *CHROMAKOPIA* continues his streak of acclaimed albums. The album is quite introspective, and utilizes genre-bending to deliver a more diverse and cohesive experience. I don’t necessarily love this album, but I do enjoy it and don’t mind if any of its songs come on anywhere. While it may not be one of my favorites, it’s an enjoyable listen from start to finish. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) St. Chroma 🔵🥉 2.) Rah Tah Tah 🟢 3.) Noid 🟢 4.) Darling, I 🔵 5.) Hey Jane 🟢 6.)

“Fun, creative, introspective album from Tyler. Musically this album sounds great and some of Tyler’s rapping is really good on here too. He for really well covering topics of insecurity in his relationships and fear of loneliness due to his own personality and lifestyle. Tyler recently has started to grow on me, compared to his earlier work. Top songs are ‘Rah Tah Tah’ ‘Darling, I’ ft Teezo Touchdown ‘Thought I Was Dead’ ft ScHoolboy Q & Santigold ‘Like Him’ ft Lola Young ‘I Hope You Find Your Way Home’”
“- king of female soul samples einfügen - if my ex spill tea dont drink it haha - feier diese kombi aus hart mothafucka rap und high pitched super melodies - nobody can fullfill like this music shit does <3 - dieses lets go vor hooks so nice haha, mach ich auch oft (meta meta meta meta meta) - hey jane voll sad :/ - her legs were eiffel tower voll die witty clevere beschreibung hehe - i hope u find yourself!!!”
“This album is great , it’s personally in my top 3 because this was pure artistry leading up to its release. Not only did he release and market this album strategically, the album told a story and it gave the audience clarity. This album feeds the audience every emotion and that’s what the fans wanna see.”
“Is it perfect? No. Is it one of his best? Obviously. Although CMIYGL and IGOR may be more thrilling, Tyler continues his creativity in his most personal work yet. Favs: St Chroma, Rah Tah Tah, Noid, Darling I, Thought I Was Dead, Like Him Meh: Hey Jane, I Killed You”
“finally broke and listened to this album a couple weeks ago. the storytelling is cool and i enjoy tyler's songwriting. i haven't experienced some of the things he sings about, but the emotion is so heavy i can still feel it in my chest”
“for me, this is one of tyler’s weakest projects. i remember listened to this and just not finding any desire to listen to it again. the tracks i enjoy are thought i was dead & darling i. i wish tyler sung harder with this.”
“Beautiful album with so much thought put into each song. I’d like to highlight “like him”. This song really goes in depth with T’s emotional turmoil around not knowing his dad. Just beautiful.”
