The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 upon its release, marking the Odd Future visionary\u2019s second chart-topping project of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Tyler has another milestone to celebrate. On July 27, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) officially certified <em>IGOR<\/em> platinum, meaning it has sold over one million copies.

According to a 2019 article from<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/2019\/05\/tyler-live-performance-igor-everything-we-learned\/ideas-2013\"> <em>Complex,\u00a0<\/em><\/a>Tyler was also heavily influenced by Kendrick Lamar who made him feel more confident about weaving singing into his music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I\u2019m not the best singer, but a friend of mine named Kendrick, I played him some stuff, and he said, \u2018Oh, this shit is just feeling. You weren\u2019t worried about the technical\u2026 being perfect with your vocal. It was actual emotion,&#8217;\u201d he explained during a live performance of the album. \u201cWhen he said that, I was like, \u2018Oh shit, you\u2019re right.\u2019 That\u2019s why I don\u2019t try to always get people to sing my parts. Sometimes I\u2019m just like, \u2018Fuck it, I\u2019ll sing it.\u2019 Because someone else can\u2019t really sing my truth and what I\u2019m trying to say. So I got it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere during the performance, Tyler told the crowd why he decided to record part of the album in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo my dad\u2019s Nigerian, supposedly, and Nigerian music is good,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cYou have Sade and so much Nigerian rock. I wanted to live in that moment for a day. So me, Solange, and Frank flew to Italy.\u201d The results were \u201cI Think,\u201d \u201cA Boy Is A Gun\u201d and \u201cI Don\u2019t Love,\u201d which he worked on with Solange in Lake Cuomo, Italy.<\/p>\n<p><em>CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST,<\/em> on the other hand, featured 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Wayne, Domo Genesis, Brent Faiyaz, Lil Uzi Vert and Pharrell Williams.
