ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

a feature on Geto Boys to run on the Quietus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk8mm1Qmt-Y

i mean, geto boys even get played on fucking 6 music. (only mind playing tricks i admit, but hey). necro and ill bill have more underground cred (and not in the backpacker way either, tho dont see whats so bad about that either, sick of having to apologise for liking backpack shit)

before someone guns my 'underground cred' point, i just meant that in a sort of 'true cult status' way.

lex i haven't read yr article yet (but will & look forward to) but the one complaint i've about your posts itt is the position you come at the music from is "well the music isn't that good anyway" rather than "the music is great but uh" which is fine, but for those who do think the music is (atvl occasionally) great & inspired, all these "y bother its not even as fun to dance to as crunk" arguments are kind of unnecessary & give the impression u kind of just dgi

i often get the impression lex just likes stupid music, or at least, whenever he quotes lyrics, its usually some dumbness.

(i love(d) lil jon too tho, fwiw)

ha lex is possibly my fav lyric quotes poster on rap & r&b threads

the crunk thing wasn't a direct comparison, it was more an example of the ignorant/dubious lyrics i do enjoy (ie i'm not just criticising this on moral grounds)

i thought the teairra marí lyrics i quoted on this thread were quite smart, observant and kinda brave, titchy

back to tyler/of tho, that lil silva remix of yonkers fucking sucks.
tho my faith in silva has been shattered since he did that song with sampha.

as a big buk fan and an ofwgkta listener, the only major connections I see are the nihilism.
when i think buk i think self debasement, alcoholism, elitist intellectual self-absorption and the power of women over men's lives and i don't hear any of that in tyler.

tyler is too adolescent to be referenced with bukowski

yeah, that too. not that it's a reasonable analogy at all, but even jim carroll is a more reasonable referent if solely for the age factor

there's a dare for you: write a think piece comparing carroll and tyler

The comparison is purely one of Bukowski's status as thorn in the side of the literary establishment/liberal wind up merchant.

XP: The 40-year-old virgin guy???

Jim Carroll, not Steve Carell.

ha okay now it's a double dare comparing steve carell to tyler
and do it as an aside to a documentary camera

but i dont think OF/tyler have that status, not anymore anyway, theyre pretty accepted. maybe not by hip hop heads (english, provincial or otherwise). if you want unaccepted, you should go and see nero/non phixion (will stop mentioning them now), who are all pretty genuinely crazy and paranoid/worrying/unstable.

Ah, that guy. I see what you're saying.

Non Phixion - I have The Future Is Now on CD somewhere.

i can't believe ilx is a now board where people can mention non-phixion with a straight face

the one person i know in real life who got into odd future before the hype clusterfuck is a DIE HARD non-phixion fan

i can't believe ilx is a now board

ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

COOL RAP MUSIC

YEAH

influential white rappers on OF and tyler - i should be allowed to write this feature on the quietus.

put it on the back berner

so sick of this constant ilx love for non phixion

could everyone just shut up about non phixion, plz

y/n/good/bad/done already

let me know everybody

White provincial middle-class slavery

xp feels like it must've been done already but can't think of who/when?

N@bi$co weighs in:

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/05/tyler_the_creator_visionary_ra.html

maybe not tying d/n to author name on public board Ned?

Honestly thought he didn't mind/had already done various references himself? Apologies if I'm wrong!

not everyone's a total penis about it like aero, iirc

I thought he changed his name here for a reason dude!

He's not even googleproofed anymore

edited to be safe i guess

yeah jeez aerosmith quit being such a square and upload some dong pix already

you're trying to goad me into posting a pic of Whiney but I am such a mature and sophisticated dude that you get this post instead

hahahaha

that nymag piece is great. "He's like a crap French intellectual."

feeling oppressed by OF thinkpieces, gonna write a rap about it brb

Tyler has fun messing with people and playing the imp, but sometimes it's like kids in cars yelling stuff at pedestrians — which is only ever funny if you're inside the car.

ilx shout out imo

Wonder if Tyler knows what 'homosocial' means.

The more I read about this record, the less I want to hear it.

haha ditto

ilx shout out imo

totally thought this too! that was a good piece by nitsuh

Wonder if Tyler knows what 'homosocial' means.

course he does, he's so ~smart~ right?

fan on the guardian thread trying to claim that even his rubbish defences in interviews are themselves satirical. eyes rolled so far back in head

god that shouting out of car windows thread - i do hope that it went down as a victory for the civilised people who understand that shouting out of car windows is unacceptable in the collective ilx memory

but yelling out of car windows is the name of my dog

it's okay for dogs to do it
