Odd Future

My friend's been telling me about these guys for a while now. I saw an article in the New Yorker about Earl and then I finally gave in and started checking em out. Anybody else been enjoying the same fresh new hip hop?









^on a track with pusha. validation for me, hahaha

i like my girls how i like my drugs, white. lol.



nah but i like them, alot of it is shock factor but i like that theire not always talking about their money and that they know what dissonance is.

i was feeling them when they first started getting popular. then as i listened to more of their shit i realized they were biting alot of old underground eminem and got turned off a bit. i found them to be a lil hackish.

I like the Pusha track, but only because I like Clipse.

The rest are shit.

I read this as "Odd Furniture" and was horribly disappointed

Please don't throw your clothes on the Breuer chair,

They're a good example of how DIY the music industry can be at this point, as long as you have a product that stands out. They laid down all the musical and marketing groundwork themselves, and four years later they're doing the festival/stagediving victory lap all over the world, performing on Jimmy Fallon, getting namedropped by Kanye West and having the video for "Yonkers" played all over mainstream music television. Quite remarkable for a group that only has a single one-shot deal on XL (Tyler's album "Goblin") to their name in regards to the "traditional" music industry. That they've pulled all of this off with the kind of messed up and off the wall hip hop they make is even more impressive.

Unfortunately, it shows in their content and behavior that they're still a bunch of kids. "Bitch Suck Dick" and similar stuff is just bog standard frat boy-ish stupidity, and they can't seem to shake off the creative cliches that keep tying them to guys like Necro. What I saw of their live show on a recent Roskilde-documentary left me unimpressed as well (four guys constantly shouting down the mic and randomly diving off stage mid song, while Tyler can't even finish off half his bars). Finally, if I was Tyler, I wouldn't be so hasty to diss Pitchfork and bloggers when you owe a lot of your global hype to them to begin with.

Clearly, OFWGKTA have a lot of maturing to do, and they probably need to do it fast if they're gonna escape the "flash in the pan via blogger hyperbole"-tag. The question is if this process of growing up will ultimately rob them of any edge they had to begin with.

In other words, they suck.

This is endemic to hip hop as a whole. At least, that's what I've found in my personal experience. When I've seen some of the big guys perform (Jay Z stands out the most here) they appear to be more hype-oriented than anything else. I guess it works well to pump up the part of the crowd (see: most people in attendance) that are only familiar with their radio anthems, but it's disappointing for those that admire the craft.

I remember seeing Jedi Mind one time and they were awful. They didn't spit half the verses and there were over a dozen guys on stage doing nothing. This one guy, Sean P, had a mic but never said anything but his own name.

Two acts really stand out in my mind as not conforming to this: The Cool Kids and Clipse. I've seen Clipse six or seven times now and they never cease to amaze.

I'm disappointed with hip-hop, in general.

No one makes me want to actually listen to them.

Except Theophilus London. I'm feeling him.

You must've been unlucky. When they came to Trondheim/Norway they were 5 guys (iirc, one or two of them weren't really JMT-ers, but AotP), and they were all great. I shook hands with Jus Allah right before they left the stage after the encore

Fixed. Like I said, they just need to grow up, which they will very fast at this rate.
