This is an opinionated statement not making it a known fact. Even though there is other reasonings behind this statement it is just supporting the opinion, not ,making it fact.

I will say, as opinionated as this statement is, I like that you actually give your legitimate reasons. Personally I know there are many artists I like where - if you asked me to tell you why I think they're so amazing, I would just end up listing reasons that I personally like them, or just how I feel when listening to their music.

This seems like an odd thing for me to say under what seems like such a subjective and opinion-centric post, but I like how you aim for relative objectivity with your reasoning. You talk about Tyler's diverse list of influences, his unique style of production - I don't even listen to Tyler, The Creator but honestly you make a pretty good case.

All of that being said, I think this post still leans a bit more to the side of opinion rather than fact.

This is an opinionated fact check so it can't really be responded to, but I do like the reasoning behind the statement that is given and the article. This topic is also very relivent because of his new album that is coming out.

This is a very opiniated statement and that the stats for Tyler the creator do not back up your statement at all. This is a very opinionated statement but I do believe you could have helped your statement by providing a better source.

Although this statement is heavily on the opinionated side, I could see and agree with it as fact. Tyler the creator is one of the most top rated and unique musicians and creates very loved songs. He also collabs with well known and loved singers. Yes, he has only won a few awards based on the article but he is a very moving and great artist overall.

I think this article is more opinionated if anything. In terms of new artists, Tyler has consistently put up some of the highest numbers in history with album release sales and concert sales. However, when comparing this to all genres in general, the numbers pale in comparison. While the argument can be made that his creative beats and flows could be considered generational, it all boils down to opinion, especially considering he doesn’t even like a lot of his old work.

I agree with your fact check that this claim can't be true or false since it's an opinion. I also appreciated how you still mentioned facts about Tyler's music career, acknowledging his accomplishments but also keeping it rooted in fact and compared to the music industry as a whole. Even though you added your own opinion you were able to separate facts from feelings.

I agree with your summarization and that this is based purely on opinion at the end of the day. Tyler has been able to become very accomplished and bring in thousands to millions of dollars in album sales and concert tickets. But when compared to other great artists in history is difficult to compare everyone without bias.

After reading this article, I thought it was a little opinionated and it wasn't as "factual" despite stating that he won a Grammy in 2019. Though a Grammy is a big award in the music industry, it is a key milestone in a music creator's career. An IMDB article states that he has won 3 total awards in his music career, and has received 10 more nominations to add on. In a Billboard article, it listed the top 125 singers of all time. Tyler the Creator was not featured on the list. In this list, the singer listed at the #125 spot has a total of 16 CMA Awards, 17 ACM Awards, and two Grammys. With the awards and accolades that Tyler the Creator has, it does not match the success that even the #125 singer has had throughout his music career. I believe it is too early to determine whether he is one of the greatest singers of all time due to his young age (33 years old), and he may still have more music to create and be able to reach that "all-time" level.

I agree with this fact check. It is an opinionated claim, with no real facts to back it up. I like how you included sources in your fact-check to support your view.

I agree with this fact check, and liked how although this article leaned towards opinion, you did your best to include numeric data to try and back up your fact check, as well as citing your sources. I also liked the part about his age because I had not thought about that in terms of 'all time' status.

While it’s impossible to definitively place any artist in an “all-time greatest” category, Tyler, The Creator has strong evidence of influence, innovation, and impact. However, the claim might be best framed as subjective statement rather than an undeniable fact due to the concept of objectivity in art and subjectivity in defining "greatest artist of all time."

This is an opinionated statement so it cannot be considered true or false. While I do agree that Tyler the creator is an incredible artist, that is still just my opinion. I do like how you used really good evidence and resonating to support the claim. I believe that Tyler is one of the greatest artists of this generation, however I think to say he is one of the greatest cannot be factually correct. But thats just my opinion.
