ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

I Fucking Win Today. @iamdiddy Thanks For The Chain Nigga. AAAAHHHHH!!!!!

need to be quite careful posting on a thread where people have hard knowledge and fully worked opinions based on that, because i don't, but hell, I'm drinking.

I really really like the stuff I've heard. I don't get people saying the stuff's just goofing around trying to offend - it seems full of depression, obsessed in more than one song about suicide. the rape/faggot stuff is repulsive but feels like a heavy portrayal of a dark psyche - the more absurdly nasty it is in some ways the better because it's less realistic. feels ballardian in some ways.

so the whole suicide/depression schtick feels like the pay-off. there's nothing rewarding in the pose- it's nasty and will kill you.

The cumbersome, peristaltic flow really contributes to that - like people struggling to spurt the words out.

think it's great.

i didn't think i liked this too much but i can't stop playing that tyler track w/ the roach video

OMFG THAT PICTURE

And Diddy bought him a chain? Does he just do that with everyone? That totes explains how hip-hop can still be 'bling' in an age where no-one sells any records - Biggie is paying for it.

ilu for this fyi

if we didn't like every musician who gives a fuck, we wouldnt have much music left to like, though, would we?

let's not like musicians who give a fuck that is exactly what I am saying

Hmm... So JHawk and Left Brain are cousins. Puts the jerk-hate in perspective or whatever. Or not.

Interesting split on Singles Jukebox, but I feel like some of these are missing the point a little:

Zach Lyon: This is the first Odd Future-related track I’ve listened to and… is this it? All this controversy culminates in some ASS FUCK kid FUCKing emphasizing every DAMN curse word like SHIT emotional problems BITCHes wolf COCK gang BITCH we’re on the internet CUNT etc, and stabbing Bruno Mars in his GODDAMN esophagus is as subversive as it gets? I can’t find a reason not to just listen to, say, “Damage” by Non-Prophets instead. Yes, it’s almost as intense as the side project Sage Francis did to prove he wasn’t a pussy.

Josh Langhoff: Shocking! An outrage! He goes too far, debases all that we cherish! EVERYBODY KNOWS TRICERATOPS WAS MONOGAMOUS!
[1]

lol

there is something to the observation that the way he kind of leans into every curse word is a little i dunno...feels maybe unnatural or contrived to me, or at least more deliberate and conscious of the 'shock value' of those words than the way most rappers curse

Yeah, I was actually okay with that part, it was the unfavorable comparison to Sage Francis that kinda lost me.

Odd Future on Funny or Die

I'm not sure what to make of this. It's vaguely amusing, esp. the last 30 seconds or so, but isn't it too soon for them to be self-consciously lampooning their shtick? Hype cycles these days, I swear. Etc. *cue more hand-wringing*

i'm kinda thinking of starting the thread for the inevitable backlash against odd future

OVERRATED FUTURE WOLF GANG

BLOG FUTURE WOLF GANG HYPE THEM ALL

they will end up being like clipse, once beloved, now indie dork strawman

oh matt where's that picture

haha let me try to find it

Also, MellowHype sign to Fat Possum. This is sort of like Wu Tang signing to all the different majors, except OF are signing to record labels that otherwise put out Vampire Weekend and Tennis. Waiting for Earl to sign to Merge.

i'm going to pretend they are signing to fat possum back when all they did was put out r.l. burnside and t-model ford records

I mean, can't knock the hustle. Just saying.

yeah i don't care, i think merge would be a good label to sign with really, i mean they can obv get you into any store you need to get into, and i'm sure the deal is preferable to a major deal...also you get #superchunkswag

Kind of off-topic here, but the trajectory of Fat Possum has certainly been interesting over the past few years.

i dont care about them selling out or getting hyped but that funnordie sketch was awful

merge = mtn goats collabo imo

obviously

can I summarize this thread in the form of a picture

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/JoeRNelson/Clipse.jpg

i guess not

So this thread has been about awkward photo ops featuring Clipse and a white dude? Boy, was I reading it wrong.

the joek is said "white dude" is yrs truly :)

biggest compound misunderstanding since the viking thread

great picture!

the joek is said "white dude" is yrs truly :)

okay, that makes a little more sense then

we'll try to treat this thread with the appropriate seriousness in the future, sir.

(also: i didn't realize they were doing the star trak/star trek thing, i shoulda done that w/my hand instead of waving)

shoulda done an em and flipped the bird

funniest part of this photo imo

left brain's shirt in the funny or die vid is awesome.
tyler's is pretty sweet, too.

Clipse is a bad analogy since they had hit songs and a gold record before becoming kind of a internet crit nerd cause célèbre in the absence of continued commercial success. does anyone even think OF has a serious chance of having radio hits or a real above ground mainstream presence?

Gotta wait until they attempt to get people to pay for their music, I guess.
