ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

I just love how a thread about one of the big hyped acts in hip hop has tranformed into being about Nardwuar.

Keep on rocking in the free world!

yeah why did you guys send this thread back to 2001

o.f. hasn't really done anything notable since the last jaot album and the discussion on their (shock?) appeal, etc. seems to have worn pretty thin. why not talk about nardwuar?

So Tyler said another Frank Ocean is coming out with another album and he is producing some cuts. I'm excited about that.

wow what are the odds of somebody else being named frank ocean

here's another 3.5 hours of frank ocean from when he was calling himself lonny breaux: http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=56528.0

i'm not much into r&b, but frank has his moments. midi mafia's production on a lot of these tracks really suits his voice.

doot doodle oot doot

:P so much for me trying to get the conversation back to Odd Future

"carpal tunnel... i love you internet... we're hurting..."

nas is a dick!

hahaa

i mean nardwuar is straight up wowing him and then nas gets hella paranoid and basically tells him to get the fuck out

i didnt finish it but his interview w/ jay was kind of lame, he was bringing up stuff everybody knows abt jay? like that he recorded w/ ski? then jay's giving good answers & hes kinda still wiffing at impressing him, idk

^this guy gets it

deej i hold out hope that someday you will be bathed in a small but intense dose of cosmic rays and become a low tier supervillain
i really think you would be awesome at it
you could put fly up and put kittens in trees and speed up time so that peoples parking meters would expire early and you could steal everybody's newspapers at super speed and hide them on the roof
you could call yourself TEC-W or "The End of Childish Wonder" and rob liefeld would draw your comic and you would have all these pouches

?

rob liefeld likes to draw pouches.

i wasnt sure if u were being sarcastic but i like a bunch of his videos. the jay-z one just ended up being weird & kinda lame

jay-z was talking sooooooooooo slllllllllllloooooowwwwwww

i love the jay z one; it's not a great interview but you get the sense of Jay in ivory tower, deigning to speak with this man because he is passionate and deeply educated and now we shall sit at the round table and commune like the important men we are and then nard just acts like nard
"who are you?"
"longwinded answer about the american dream"
"You are Jay-Z!"

i did lol at that

B.O.B. starts lyrical battle with Tyler, the Creator:

http://www.inflexwetrust.com/2011/03/25/b-o-b-no-future-odd-future-diss/

The song is alright. I like how he didn't go hard on Tyler personally. Just basically saying he is more successful than him (which he is frankly).

I think this would be a good test to see if Tyler has some staying power in hip hop with this rap beef. I'm not doubting Tyler's talent but he can be an instigator for no reason. (I just saw his tweets making fun of Big Sean and I kind of cringed.) Even though Tyler is unique and "different" for these times his constant "joking" could alienate him as far as getting ahead in the music industry. I don't work in the industry of course, but one thing I do know that in the workplace it is not good to have enemies or burn bridges.

for these times his constant "joking" could alienate him as far as getting ahead in the music industry.

I would rather have Tyler burning bridges than every rapper pretending to like Asher Roth because he's a big white bag of money

also, Nirvana didn't have to suck up to Guns N Roses and they did just fine iirc

also, fuck Big Sean

that is otm i think whiney, although i like the degree to which money chasing has kept rappers from participating in pointless beefs that hurt the bottom line, its gotten to a pt where just cuz a rapper sells albums really no longer suggests some sort of genre dominance the way it did at least to a degree ten yrs ago. now it just means that youre appealing to a certain cd buying fan

otm, otm, and otm.

watching rappers bend over to congratulate eminem last year for selling a bajillion copies was gross to me

bend over *backwards* lol

My only main concern with Tyler is that he could either go the way of Charles Hamilton or Eminem as far as being an instigator in hip hop. If Tyler response is great then it shows he can afford to say "Fuck You All."

I mean, I think absolute worst case scenario, Tyler ends up a Steve Albini character, selling modest amounts of stuff on an indie scale to a cult audience. And gets to be a caustic conscience that doesn't care if he pisses off ppl who are more successful

Like Tyler coming after BoB is like Albini saying Sonic Youth or Creed sucks. And its like, yeah, maybe Albini blew a chance to ever tour with Sonic Youth or whatev, but I think he's doing just fine.

I could care less about Tyler's sales potential. I'm more interesting in what he does musically/lyrically because he has that potential. I'm just saying that Tyler can really cement his place in hip hop with something like this. Since hip hop is part lyrical competition and all.

But at the same time when I say "burn bridges", I'm thinking more of the lines of like "pick your battles carefully."

Like be an asshole with tact.

fuck B.o.B. though

Tyler is saying the shit everyone's thinking but is too scared of the bottom line to say. Fuck B.o.B, fuck Big Sean, fuck Bruno Mars, fuck soft serve skinny jeans rap that's more about a Skyler Gray hook than actual rapping. He's picking his battles just fine imo

fuck steve harvey

Haha. Tyler seems to like the song:

http://rapradar.com/2011/03/25/new-music-b-o-b-%E2%80%9Cno-future%E2%80%9D-odd-future-diss/

is steve harvey even a real person?

if tyler does this right, it could be as great as 'Strictly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing'

dude yeah steve harvey! he's an original king of comedy imo

http://upscalemenswear.com/images/Background/harvey%20model%202.JPG

lol that every now and again when a hoy hoy reminds us he doesn't live in america

steve harvey hosts the family feud now

also, i don't know to what degree b.o.b. is more successful than tyler, since he probably has a big advance to recoup. i don't think any of his songs like blew up as much and as fast as yonkers.

the big metric of the popularity of "Yonkers" that people keep pointing to is 3 million YouTube views. "Airplanes" has 117 million and "Nothin' On You" has 68 million fyi.

youtube views are meaningless! lol

b.o.b. is still wack.

youtube views are meaningless! lol

posts very much out of character

are you saying there's a more accurate or meaningful metric by which it's remotely reasonable to say B.o.B isn't more commercially successful than Tyler?
