Is it wrong that Tyler hanging himself disgusts me less than him biting a cockroach in half?

- it's immediate. I show that video to people, and it takes them about 3 seconds ("I'ma fucking walking paradox / No I'm not") to understand where dude's coming from and what he's trying to do, artistically

- at the same time, OF backstory/mythology/intertextuality seeps into every aspect of their work and gives the dorks something to dork out about, while remaining vague and mysterious enough (unlike maybe wu-tang style in-your-face mythos?) to seduce newcomers a la scientology

... and it's got a good beat and you can dance to it

wu was pretty vague and mysterious to me when they first came out, it's hard to remember when they weren't all like icons and stuff, but i was all like who the fuck is this?? why is that guy wearing a mask? what are all these weird ass kung fu samples??

i'm not crazy about the video for yonkers tbh but the song is fuckin great

yeah this sort of hit me like WU did when they first came out...just something about it.

the wu comparisons are obvious but pretty accurate

they're definitely 'distinctive' and seem to be trying to create their own lane but i mean, so was Charles Hamilton.

being different can be a subtly powerful thing in rap but i feel like it's become overrated as a virtue unto itself

xp yeah, but i didn't enjoy listening to Charles Hamilton

was charles hamilton the one obsessed with sonic the hedgehog

what happened to him

a girl punched him on the internet

also i think he's going to jail

he called funkmaster flex from a mental hospital or something

he's probably one of the best internet punchlines ever -- also i think he had one of the fakest major label deals ever? like, he put out his album for free & then it was going to go in stores for real, to purchase -- and they said all of this ahead of time instead of it happening as a reaction to a specific event

he was kinda like if dookie from the wire grew up to be a rapper, but minus any of the self-awareness

i did like that "brooklyn girls" song tho

yeah that was a joint, i agree

i agree with all these charles hamilton posts!

nah, he's corny

+irritating voice

yeah, couldn't even remotely f/w that dude even if he wasn't a cornball, just cause he has the worst voice ever.

i dunno if it's just his actual voice or the way it's been recorded or compressed or whatever, but it almost hurts my ears.

It's his voice. He's just as annoying on that video where he got punched.

that flow on "brooklyn girls" - "NEER EER EER EER ERRR, NEER EER EER EER ERRR, NEER EER EER EER ERRR, ERR ERR ERR"

ow my brane

anybody see the mtv news report on ofwgkta

no what did kurt loder have to say

i saw on someone's laptop tonight that tyler the creator has done a remix of lykke fkn li - lolololololololololol

kurt loder is still alive?

i don't think he works for mtv still -- i wanna say he does stuff with current tv? or is that gideon yago?

maybe it was tabitha soren

as recently as a couple years ago Loder still did articles on the MTV site but generally only movie reviews -- haven't seen anything by him recently to know whether he's still there at all though

ok it wasnt kurt loder

"With so many now patently aware of the “Golf Wang hooligans” along with heavy cosigns from production wizard Flying Lotus to rapper Mos Def, more fans are still trying to figure out if this mix of violent imagery, shocking but razor sharp lyrics and trunk rattling beats from Odd Future will ever make its way to the mainstream. "

I wonders if they will make it to the mainstream

So I just showed my wife the "Yonkers" video and I think she is a little upset with me now.

did you explain to her that he doesn't really eat the cockroach

I liked Syd's line in the MTV bit.

^^^

When I first started really fucking with Odd Future heavy, my dad was like, "Really? They talk about some crazy shit and as a female, you're slapping a lot of women in the face."

I'm like, "That's what I do. I slap bitches."

did you explain to her that he doesn't really rape chicks

your dad is female?

he doesn't really rape chicks?

Having only heard Yonkers, it seems like he has a really similar flow to Aesop Rock in a couple of different ways.
I'm sure it's covered extensively in the 2000 posts here, but the "faggot"s are kind of a dealbreaker for me - I dug the song a lot otherwise.

yup, sounds like aesop rock but misogynistic/homophobic/violent/etc., totally otm. i'll pull out my old copies of Labor Days, Float and Bazooka Tooth and be perfectly content w/ that, thank u

yonkers vid is great btw admittedly

he doesn't sound like aes rock to me at all. more locked into the beat, less sardonic. i think he compares better to 90s nyc underground dudes. i'm struggling to think of exactly who though

He's pretty sardonic. Except for when he isn't.

the only thing from yonkers that i could imagine in an aesop rock song is the stevie wonder couplet

He sounds like Rock from Heltah Skeltah
