is OF almost an incredibly blank canvas that critics are using (via the tumblr-o-sphere) to project their hysterical wishes for the next big thing to emerge and 'shock' them? it's almost like OF's history has happened so quickly that they're useless now.

i think the odd future narrative for 99% of people who will listen to goblin is more like
jimmy fallon youtube -> yonkers youtube -> tyler, the creator goblin site:mediafire.com

throw ilx in front of fallon and that's me to a talso add like seven fake downloads

flopson OTM, but it works differently for people (critics & fans) who've been engaged with OF for some time, and that's where most of the hype has come from. kind of surprised that anyone who hasn't been following OF would be blown away goblin taken in isolation.

if you say so
― normal_fantasy-unicorns (contenderizer), Monday, 9 May 2011 22:31 (fifteen years ago)
i bet its the same critics who praised 'glo-fi' praising this. even if the artists are still doing things, the excitement is completely gone

actually there's quite some buzz around the washed out album that's dropping soon

He later called his interrogator a "faggot" on Twitter. Most people should be able to judge whether Tyler The Creator is for them or not based solely on this information, thus side-stepping the whole "rape" and "faggots" "controversy".
does not compute

― thomp, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 11:24 (fifteen years ago)
"The person who Tyler The Creator reminds me of the most is not Eminem at his Relapse-era most amoral; certainly not the educationally subnormal Geto Boys, Nekro, 2LiveCrew, Cannibal Corpse, or Whitehouse. Neither is it Anal Cunt, XXXManiak, GG Alin, or Gorerotted. Instead, its Charles Bukowski"
oh fuck off really fuck you fuck off thanks fuck off thanks fuck off bye

yeah the bukowski thing was 'wtf lol WRONG'
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 11:29 (fifteen years ago)
tho i dont get why just for calling a journo a faggot, as opposed to all the other people tyler has called faggot, that should make us decide how we feel about tyler. rappers acting like immature prima donnas who dont like interviews shockah.

anyway, necro>>>tyler
I've put one of these unexpected and slightly daft (but potentially illuminating at the same time) comparisons in about 90% of the reviews I've done over the last decade and it never fails to amaze me that it's only ever provincial, English middle class hip hop fans who get so upset by them. While I'd be lying if I said I didn't realise each time how much upset it's going to cause, it's not the primary or even secondary motivation. I just get bored of reviews that solely consist of, "Well it's ok and it's not that much different from some other OFWGKTA albums, like Peter Sutcliffe fronting Company Flow".
That said, I didn't mean to upset you this much. I'm sure with CBT and medication you will finally get some semblance of your life back after this outrage. You'll probably want to avoid reading my Waka FF piece next week tbh.
― PG Harpy (Doran), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 12:22 (fifteen years ago)
to be fair it's probably only provincial middle class english people reading your reviews, so?

hahahahaha provincial?

Using "provincial" and "English" in the same sentence is kinda redundant in my experience.

"educationally subnormal Geto Boys"
Bit harsh, no? I wouldn't use that phrase about anyone but even if you want to then Scarface doesn't fit. He's smart as hell.
― Pop is superior to all other genres (DL), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 14:22 (fifteen years ago)
It's not really that harsh but it was pointless and I wish I hadn't written it now.

Language use change is inevitable and organic. My participation in these processes isn't.
This is the kind of double-meaning review-ender I'm always amazed someone would actually write.

― chairfuckers union (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 14:33 (fifteen years ago)
I do like the review, aside from the Geto Boys line. Not sure that a call from the GZA in 2011 represents the siren call of mainstream hip hop though.
― Pop is superior to all other genres (DL), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 14:36 (fifteen years ago)

i don't want to join ppl baggin on a fellow ilxor, but this line
"Our friend and writer for The Stool Pigeon and this organ Kev Kharas recently went to interview Tyler The Creator."
Makes me think that D0ran is just calling Kev "a total organ"
― chairfuckers union (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 14:46 (fifteen years ago)
i think the review is p good doran but i think the educational subnormal thing is pretty offensive esp because scarface is so much more insightful and poignant and just better than tyler on every single level and bushwick and willie d are frequently funny and gonzo and in bushwick's case occaissionally sad in a way

this thread is a right pain to open in any browser, let alone keep up with, much as i've been trying to. is there any chance of a Pt 2 thread? or maybe separate threads for each of the artists/ albums or whatever?
