What is the goal of Last Song Standing and which Tyler album are we covering?
Welcome, everyone, to Last Song Standing.
I'm Cole Kushner. And I'm Charles Holmes. And in this fifth season of Last Song Standing, we're working our way through Tyler, the creator's entire catalog in order to crown his greatest song of all time, a.k.a. Last Song Standing.
Last episode, we revisited Flower Boy, and today we are tackling what many believe is Tyler's best album. Hell yeah.
2019's Igor. Cole, bro, we're here.
We've been on a journey. Our friendship has been tested. It is very funny that I feel like We both love the opposite Tyler albums.
Thinking back to last episode, I feel like this is like the reformed Charles is really showing itself because I feel like a few years ago, you would have came in here just shitting on Flower Boy. I know that there's a part of you that wanted to shit on Flower Boy so bad, but the new accepting meeting people where they're at Charles is very much showing itself. And last episode, I'm proud of you. You showed a lot of
That was, that was my cherry bomb episode where I'm like, yeah, cherry bomb is great. And you're like, well, you know, it's no flower. You're learning from me. I'm learning from you. I think I feel like that's that, that is what friendship is all about. So before we get into it, do we want to go over where we stand this season with our, with our picks?
I'm feeling good about the picks that we're rounding out until I feel like the prime of Tyler's discography, but let's go over our picks so far. All right. So I've got bastard title track. She, Answer, Cherry Bomb title track and Garden Shed. I'll just say I love Garden Shed. I maybe have slight regret not going 9-1-1, but I still think Garden Shed was... Garden Shed is the one, right?
Don't have regrets. Okay. You made the right choice. Are these personal regrets or are these regrets that you feel like the fan base is like?
I think that's kind of it.
No.
No.
If you've learned anything... the fans we love them keep listening they can lead you astray you know what i'm saying we have to honor the exercise okay if an alien comes to earth what is the song that best represents tyler yeah all right for my choices dog this list is great french yonkers bimmer buffalo who that boy banger banger banger banger banger
They're all good songs. Like we said last episode, it's just a little one note. I would like to see some variety out of you today, maybe. Do you think that's going to happen? Hey, when Tyler starts showing us some variety, I will as well.
Got one in there. Got one in there early.
I'm sorry.
I had to. Okay. So, all right, before we get into it, do we want to walk people through the premise of the whole show?
Yes. So for those who have forgotten, each episode of Last Song Standing covers one album where we're forced to choose the best song off of that album, aka the Last Song Standing. In the season finale, we take all the songs that we picked across the entire season into a Royal Rumble. They duke it out. They go head to head until we eliminate and agree upon the single greatest Tyler the Creator song of all time. We're going to take a quick break, and then we're going to get into your favorite Tyler album. I'm going to have to talk this through because it might be my favorite Tyler album, but I haven't convinced myself.
It's my favorite and the best. So after we get some ads, you know, rolling, we'll get back. I'll drop some album facts about Igor. You'll get into the themes. And then, you know, we'll have a little bit of banter about where Igor stands in 2026.
This episode is presented by Sierra Nevada. Life's about embracing the haze. What does that mean? Living in the moment. Seeing where the night takes you. Being up for the adventure. And there's no better way to embrace it than with Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada. Hazy, citrusy, smooth. Juicy, but not sweet. Hoppy, but not bitter. America's best-selling hazy IPA for good reason. Hazy Little Thing. Enjoy responsibly.
All right, we're back with Tyler's sixth studio album, Igor, released on May 17th, 2019. The 12-song project features collaborations with Charlie Wilson, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Sandy Gold, among others.
