"JUGGERNAUT" marked Pharrell's fourth feature on a Tyler album, after " IFHY" (2013), " KEEP DA O'S" (2015), and "ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?" (2019). Towards the end of the year, Tyler and 42 Dugg met up after declaring the hit song "We Paid" as the "core of rap music." ĬMIYGL also adds to an ongoing history of Tyler features. She would eventually be heard in "MOMMA TALK." Tyler's mother, Louisa Whitman, was also seen in public for the first time when Tyler accepted his first-ever GRAMMY for Best Rap Album, his Igor. A "kid" had sent him that video in October 2019.Īt the 2020 GRAMMYs, Tyler dressed as a bellhop and carried a trunk with him that had a tag that read "CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST." This is the earliest mention of the album's title and display of its aesthetic, yet its progress at that time is unknown. Tyler said at a live performance that he was inspired to make " LEMONHEAD" after hearing a marching band cover "EARFQUAKE" complete with a horn section and drums. Ĭurrently, the oldest trace of CMIYGL lyrics could be found at the end of Flower Boy's " I Ain't Got Time!", in which an early version of the "SWEET" chorus can be heard. Tyler's dreams of having a Gangsta Grillz tape ultimately came true when Tyler approached DJ Drama in summer 2020 and recorded Drama's vocals across "four or five sessions" between August/September 2020 to a few months before the album's release. Tyler was also inspired by the In My Mind: The Prequel tape by Pharrell Williams. In December 2010, Tyler tweeted about wanting to make a Gangsta Grillz tape of his own with DJ Drama.
