ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL
For those that dont know OFWGKTA is a collective, led by Tyler the Creator, there are three groups which fall under the Odd Future heading; MellowHype - producer Left Brain and rapper Hodgy Beats, EarlWolf - Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt - click link if you're wondering, like everyone else, actually where is Earl? - and then The Jet Age of Tomorrow - Hal Williams and Matt Martians. Domo Genesis, Mike G, singer Frank Ocean and also another producer Syd and Super 3 are also part of the collective.
I've listened to MellowHype and Tyler and Earl and obvs Frank Ocean but havent really heard much of The Jet Age of Tomorrow so that's something I'm gunna get on that this week with their mixtape The 5th Echelon, in the mean time I thought I'd leave this as an introduction. I'll review some of their mixtapes soon cos if you haven't listened to them you neeeeed to. Whether you like their style or not it's pretty unlike anything else around atm.
First off i know what people are gunna say "You're only doing a post on OFWGKTA cos they got cool recently" But I blog about things I think are worth blogging about, been listening to them for a while now (no they're not new with 3 mixtapes and I think about 8/9 studio albums) but recently they've taken offfffff. They're playing Reading, they're videos on MTV, Yonkers (but a version so edited it was barely recognisable) was actually on the radio the other day....things are looking goood.
Take a look at Tyler, the Creator explaining, as much as you can, the concept of Odd Future and showing the kinda craziness they get up to....
I’m an over achiever, so how ’bout i start a team of leaders// and pick up stevie wonder to be the wide receiver// green paper, gold teeth and pregnant gold retrievers
"asian's look like asians"
Question is dyu think they're just a bunch of destructive ADHD kids who just wanna shock with their lyrics, have sucess and as Tyler says on the video "watch cartoons" or dyu think they actually bring something new to the table, an Eminem style dramatic controversial entrance to the mainstream scene? Be interesting to hear what people think. I know what I think about them, but I wanna hear you're views first.....
