ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

great picture!

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

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)

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

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.

there is no mainstream

I thought the xx would never get out of a post-goth collegiate ghetto but they ended up on target endcaps and the olympics so what do I know

there is no mainstream

This is true. But there are people who like hip-hop without obsessing over it on ILM and blogs. Those people are as yet mostly unaware of Odd Future.

Earl's record will be huge.

Beiber collab will change all that lol

xp

can we just GIVE THEM A SECOND guys

eagerly awaiting the comeback album

does anyone even think OF has a serious chance of having radio hits or a real above ground mainstream presence?

idk at this point i think they've got a good shot at it.

on a related note i went back to eminem's "kim" today and...y'know i'm not actually sure i even like 99-03 era eminem any more. i think i used to think it was ~intense~ and ~daring~ but it's actually just really shit.

OF never was popular, will not be popular, and their comeback will be a great success

I look forward to hearing them at the November 2010 retro night at the club near my house.

fwiw i know a lot of typical college frat bros and a surprising number of them really, really like OF. like, post their videos on facebook and download all the mixtapes and shit.

guys did you hear about the REUNION TOUR

i think i used to think it was ~intense~ and ~daring~ but it's actually just really shit.

I feel vindicated

better comparison is prolly kool keith, but y'know I don't remember him hanging out w/ whatever the equivalent of the beib was back in '99

I spent a part of the last two days in high schools on Chicago's west side for work. I heard a lot of Waka and Gucci references, but sadly not a single Odd Future one.

obv they're popular and have a fanbase in some substantial and undeniable ways, but i thought by using a yardstick of The Clipse's earlier career (heavy rotation on radio, top 5 billboard debut) you guys would understand that i was referring to something besides "college kids download all the mixtapes and flock to their big club show" boutique sucess.

Earl's record will be huge.

if this ever happens, yes.

Was gonna say, it feels like the Earl album will be the one that never happens.

I'm oddly entranced by the Frank Ocean mixtape.

of course it'll happen. he can't be grounded forever.

They remind me a lot more of the Def Jux crew/CanOx/etc. than Clipse in style and formation. Those acts would have seemed huge if music blogs/etc. had dominated in 2002-3 like now, the Fader covered them in the magazine about as much. Most of the music I've heard is good but even then seems a little re-tready of that sound.

j0rdan otm

Its pretty hard to not read j0rdan as taking his ball and going home because other people are starting to have opinions about these guys.

eh not really

Unless it was the Def Jux comparison.

the other day I went to the "Yonkers" video and the highest-rated comment, which I liked so much I copied it down for future reference, was:

I fucking hate people that brag about hearing/knowing people first, like BITCH HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO HEAR YOUR LOCAL SHIT.

no it's more like i'm already tired of reading about how "actually" popular OF is

I guess, but its kind of interesting to hear some real life examples outside of this bubble to how they're being perceived.

Looking forward to Goblin
Until then, the entertainment :: epithet ratio is out of balance

That is I'm with j0rdan, but for me at least it's not about a crest of popularity, just the fact that I have teenage family members who are just as fascinating as these strangers
But without the raps

i feel you because honestly when people freak out about how young and weird acts like this are i'm like jeez have you ever actually met a teenager?

lol this is a real person that i discovered while playing ncaa 11
