"Nightmare" lyrics, cuz it's pretty fuckin "plodding", but kinda great:
[So, you're telling me everything just isn't going well][Well, first off...]
My only problem is deathFuck heaven, I ain't showing no religion respectBrain damage, therapy is the only thing I regretTalking to me is like a fucking body missing her neckBut ... I'm surprised I ain't pop off my top offLife is a bitch and my cock's off the Glock's cockedMy hand's shriveled, my finger's slipped, the wall's redHer life is fucked, she sad now, her son is dead
[chorus]I told her I'm her worst nightmareThis is hell, you don't ever gotta fight fearMy spirit floats around in the night airOr in your day dreams, that's how death seems[repeat]
When I was younger, I would smile a lotI'm gettin older, gettin bolder but a wiser topNow I'm drunk driving, lap's full of Budweiser topsLife is a movie, you're just a propThey begged me to stop, but I listen like deaf dronesLove, I don't get noneThat's why I'm so hostile to the kids that get someMy father called to tell me he loves meI have a better chance of getting Taylor Swift to fuck meI know again I'm ugly, most niggers wanna punch meI'm surprised the fuckin doctor even touched meThey're like Humpty, you're hopin that I'll fall, fuck y'allI'm an ace, I'm parentless, odd kind of arrogantIgnorant as fuck, the fame reaper for the hell of itBecause I am the devil, fucker, get on my levelDonuts and heaves and kick-flips, supremes and markers(!)My life is Miss Mo-unique Parker (???) but a little darkerSee you in a couple ... O ... F
[chorus and repeat]
[Tyler, here's some water, man, you ... you seem a little tense][How's uh, how's the band?]
Odd because the n_____s just don't give a fuckParents want to blame me all because their kid is fucking gutlessWELL FUCK THAT, if you're a shitty parent, face it, suck it upThat's what you shoulda did before that n___a fuckin bust, huh?Feel like I missed my little brother growin upFeel like my little brother missed his brother growin upBut this is Golf Wang, like he missed his family growin upI got a little taller since the last time you seen me, braNow I'm emo, so fuck it, I'm Poe-in upBut I never had a drink [Sidney, Donna's throwin up!]My n___a Jasper said if I drink and get drunk enoughI won't feel the feelings I be feeling when I'm sobered upBut that's a fuckin lie, why would he said that I'mActing emotionally strained as Travis when he's... [Tyler, calm down]Don't look at me, I'm six-five, about to cry about another guyBut this is Golf Wang, do or dieI finally had a family, but Domo's in another state, and where the fuck is Riley?Now you n____s wanna be nice because these labels wanna sign meBut before the co-signing and you fuckers couldn't find me?FUCK THAT, I hope you die in a firey deathOn ear I got kids screamin, "OF is the best"The other ear I got Tron Cat askin where the bullets and the bombs atSo I can kill these levels of stress and shitThey say that I'm "shock value"How about you hop off cock and turn the valume down?I haven't got around to tellin' my mom shit, cuz I don't know how to [Whoah...]All I want is her to serve some pork [blam!] whenever the fight's at homeWhen mommy cusses out cousin some knifes get shownNow she's really fuckin pissed so the knifes get thrownAnd hit her in the fuckin neck, now her throat's all goneLookin like a fuckin monster from the twilight zoneThen they wonder why I stay at Travis' padWith a backpack for the whole week full of plastic-wrapped black teesAnd deodorant, like his house is my home...I could live with the same hat and the same flat-screen TV watchin FlapjackAnd the same bacon and waffles on a nice SaturdayWhere I skate with the same fuckin friends atDidn't give a fuck about fame or a name, oh"Message from the GZA, another one from Plain Pat!"Email full of emails I never write backAin't killed myself and already want my life back
[chorus]
One shot, two shots, one gun, two copsI'm blowin them flu shots, could't kill me with two top rockersYou're on the side of faggots and cock blockersI'm on the side of bad-ass kids and the top notchesI'm Barney, dinosaur Harley of a humanCuz I'm shroomin with the bangers and the carneysYou n____s can't harm me cuz you all know we at the fuckin' dirty lifer's laundry
[Tyler, calm down]N___a get off me! [Calm down man]Fuck off me, man, fuck... [What's, what's got into you?]I, I don't know, it's, it's like I'm a different person at timesSometimes I'm fuckin mad, sometimes I'm not [Yeah, no...]As though I got a fuckin voice in my head tellin me to do all this fucked-up shit, man[Yeah, what's, what's...] I don't fuckin know, man[What's this person named then, Tyler, huh?]He tells me to do this shit that I don't wanna fuckin do[What's his name?]

ppl seem to be treating this like it's some huge fall-off in qual but so far it seems like any other OF release? afaik this was gonna be a free tumblr release last december but XL intercepted and now it's a legit release. if it had been another free release I'd be like, ok, here's bastard part II with some better production values. and that's what I'm like right now. tyler was always the most emo/self-indulgent member of OF anyway. I'm thinking if you didn't like bastard you're prolly not gonna like goblin either. plodding? it's not like bastard was some dance party banger.
hope they got a best buy in samoa

plodding? it's not like bastard was some dance party banger.
OTM. it's only plodding in a bad way if you don't like moody, mournful 90s-style beats. for at least 2/3 of its running time, tyler keeps the energy up. my only complaint is that the ratio of hilarious to bogus lines tips a bit towards the latter, and the "yo, i'm EMO" thing feels a little forced.

in the guardian today - 'Bastard is ghoulish, but it's also rather gorgeous, with its stark piano lines and pillowy keyboards...In this writer's opinion it is one of the best rap albums ever made, free or otherwise.'
o_O
― just sayin, Saturday, 7 May 2011 14:57 (fifteen years ago)
Over the past 18 months, the eight rapping and recording-artist members of OFWGKTA (a collective that also includes producers and illustrators), have made more than a dozen albums available for free download. Forget "mixtapes", these are fully realised works; sample-free, each meticulously crafted and worthy of major label release.
u don't say
album is patchy and definitely plodding but just listening to it as an underground/experimental rap album there is some good stuff i think.

Whoa - you're saying a newspaper used hyperbole on their cover feature?
― Limousine Driver Nicknamed Hilton (Craigo Boingo), Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:13 (fifteen years ago)
Exactly. It's got a good half dozen great tracks imho, and the middle run of Tron Cat > Her > Sandwitches is pretty barnstorming. Sags badly at the end and yeah could've done with being 4 tracks shorter.
― Limousine Driver Nicknamed Hilton (Craigo Boingo), Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:14 (fifteen years ago)
xpost well i dont know, i dont really see the guardian saying that many new rock albums are the one of the best rock albums ever made? like i dont this kind of hyperbole is that common
― just sayin, Saturday, 7 May 2011 15:17 (fifteen years ago)
just seems to be taking it up a level thats all
Reading the Guardian piece with comments online, it looks like a genuinely held belief (also applied to Earl and Bastard) rather than put in for effect.

This line still makes me giggle 7th time through the album. As most have said it's too long but I'm gradually getting into it. Still put Earl, Dena, Rolling Papers, Bastard, (and if we're counting it Frank Ocean) over this but still enough greatish moments that I'll keep listening.
