ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

drake and b.o.b. have the same fans...how will both of them make it?

stuff on the internet being hyped by people who spend half their time on the internet shocker.

domo's album is better than the wiz album i heard. don't think he's a better rapper than wiz tho.

idk dude im just getting a SHINY NEW TOY vibe from the way everyone's suddenly blindly jumping from one gimmick rap act to the next

**fwiw saying they are gimmicky is not a judgment of quality but they are undeniably gimmicky**

i really hate SHOCK RAP but i like these kids xxxxp

some stuff is just YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS SHIT! kinda stuff. simple as that.

dude have you actually listened to the earl mixtape yet?

for what its worth i don't hop from one internet fad to another. i'm old. i did kinda like that salem album i got in the mail though! so maybe i am evil too.

i really hate SHOCK RAP but i like these kids xxxxp

in that case i dont think you hate shock rap! brotha lynch hung is dope btw & is totally the originator of this style

lil b is gimmicky

odd future are gimmicky -- they're classic skater punks who happen to rap

but youre kidding yourself if u dont think SHOCK RAP isnt part of the appeal

it's an aspect of what they're doing but not the reason for the attention. if a bunch of talentless fucks were rhyming about the same shit they wouldn't get much traction with me. I'm pretty jaded.

i just want my father's email
so i can tell him how much i fuckin hate him in detail

i rilly rilly like the song bastard on bastard. its awesome.

**rolls eyes** i think we can both agree that if talentless fucks were rhyming about the same shit theyd get less attention, and if talented dudes like them were rapping about doing their taxes it would be really boring xxp

er, odd future are NOT gimmicky

rap is gimmicky, discuss

no problem with you saying odd future are gimmicky. they are. but what's wrong with shiny new toys? novelty is good.

im sorry guys -- i think rapping about raping ppl qualifies as a 'gimmick'

what about rapping about hitting women

right but you are reacting against this while saying you aren't

this post applies to literally EVERY rapper

idk -- is the rapper rapping from experience or as part of an act about how SHOCKING your mentality is

right but you are reacting against this while saying you aren't

no, i am not. i made a pretty simple joke abt how lil b was going to have to do some work to get the attention of the internet rap nerd posse that has jumped to the next new thing before he even got another record out. acting as if these two acts were totally unrelated & why would they be in competition etc. etc. is disingenuous.

you asked why. i said they have the same audiences and are both gimmicky. then we went down this rabbithole where you guys were denying that shock humor might just qualify as 'a gimmick' -- especially ridic considering its been a gimmick that has been used for years

no but that wasnt the content of every song iirc?

i mean of course it was a gimmick to them too

i would much rather that people lie a lot. cuz most people's lives are rilly boring.

i agreed with you that they are gimmicky! wtf are you talking about

skot otm

and i agreed that they and lil b have the same audience, too

brotha lynch hung is a dude for whom its not a gimmick simply because hes done so many variations on it -- obv authenticity isnt the only thing involved here -- i mean dude made a career out of different kinds of shock humor. but theres a depth to his stories & the ***purposefulness*** to them that keeps it from being a gimmick

im not saying these dudes are stuck as gimmicks or something. or that thats all their is to their music. i just admitted ive barely listened to much of it. but thats undeniably a part of the appeal, when everyone's going around quoting the MOST SHOCKING LYRICS to each other w/out talking about anything else

then rev& i are in agreement -- j0rdan said they werent gimmicky

i don't think that they're gimmicky

"cially ridic considering its been a gimmick that has been used for years"

right. its just one of many sub-genres of rap. lots of people have done it. nobody has said that they have reinvented the wheel. but they are GOOD at it. that's the difference right there. not everybody is.

of course it's part of the appeal, not sure who said it wasn't

"i just admitted ive barely listened to much of it."

listen to more and come back with pie and opinion. you don't want to get all kill bill/dr. morbs up in here.

wait that should be all kill bill/momus! morbz was basterds.

scott i never talked shit about the music at all -- i just mentioned how ppl were talking about it -- theres nothing wrong w/ being gimmicky per se!! i cant believe this is a point of contention

yall are mad defensive

classic deej itt

classic sensitive autogoons itt

sensitive goons you all need spoons

deej, this whole thing of coming into threads with contrary opinions (which is absolutely fine) and then being all "y'all are so defensive!" when ppl back up their own opinions, cut it out

i didnt have a 'contrary opinion' -- i just wasnt cheerleading

well plus its that thing on here and elsewhere where people are like: wait, why does everyone like this stuff all of a sudden? CUZ WE LIKE IT! yeah but REALLY whats going on here? NO WE JUST REALLY LIKE IT. hmmm, what's the deal its just like this other thing and this and this. and on and on. its true that things happen fast on the web and i understand blog burnout but there isn't always a reason to be suspicious. its just fun and we like it. even if the pitchfork guy likes it!

it's an aspect of what they're doing but not the reason for the attention.

yeah imo t's a real stretch to call these guys shock-rap. yes there's deliberately omg stuff in there, but the production and energy and cadences and rhymes have a lot more going on than just "dude i can't believe he said that."
