ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

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

typical double standard of the specieist

don't really get why it's important or not whether tyler is smart? does he claim to be or something? Do people need to believe he's smart to be able to enjoy the records? i've liked/loved the vast majority of OF stuff but couldn't care less about tyler's smarts or lack thereof.

I think the lex is conflating his hatred

Nitsuh otm

Good post, David

Good post, Jordan

xpost You see Lex, it's all satire and irony and joking (all of which mean exactly the same as each other) so because Tyler has already made a joke about criticism he is immune to all criticism forever. That's how it works.

GOOD POSTS EVERYONE

don't really get why it's important or not whether tyler is smart? does he claim to be or something? Do people need to believe he's smart to be able to enjoy the records? I've liked/loved the vast majority of OF stuff but couldn't care less about tyler's smarts or lack thereof.

I know for me I worry if he is smart because he seems to think he is the "trickster" when in fact he could be playing himself in the long run. There have been too many examples of artists (especially African-American artists) who can take their image to a certain point. Once (or If) the shit hits the fan then they are branded as either that crazy/dangerous/whatever nego that people were once fascinated by but now claim they never liked. The same media machine that lauded them will tack on typical stereotypes to bring them down for the same purpose: money and ratings.

I hope Tyler knows that.

i really do love the idea that ppl on this board are worried that someone might do a google search on nonsense words like "j0hn" or "deej" and find out that it's actually [HUEG INTERNET PERSON] and they have an opinion on a record.

Well, Mr. Deej, I've looked at your file at it turns out you don't like Aesop Rock, I'm sorry but you just won't fit in here.

it would take a lurker like 20 whole seconds to match these dudes up with the real names they've been posting here under for years

It's more that I'm concerned about people i know irl finding this and figuring out who this is but feel free to keep trying to score points with ilx's most banal bullshit.

I.e one time my brother was looking for info on an artist and linked me to a thread on here I'd posted in. I don't think it's alot to ask that I keep my irl separate

The horror

You're yo nature for this board.i recommend not posting on it

Blah stupid phone

Too mature

this thread is intended for yo nature audiences

lol

anyway i didnt even say anything about someone using my name, i didnt realize you were chafing so hard against our oppressive requests.

did shit get heated or

shit got mildly warmed over, iirc

ok i'm listening to goblin for the first time and damn i'm supposedly only 3 songs in but it feels like years have past. is every song like 12 minutes long?

Yes, and the songs get with every play, too

And the songs get even LONGER with every play, too

damn

enjoying it doe and i think a lot of that has to do with not reading this thread for the past month

D-40 & I are on the same side of this ridic non-argument (wtf is so controversial about respecting an onboard-friend's wishes for fuck's fuckin sake, Whiney you're better dude than to take issue w/that) so I am not clowning just lol'ing but "You're yo nature for this board.i recommend not posting on it" gave me a great lol

Jesus, just looking at the track times on wiki and I'm like o_O

Picked this up over lunch though and still interested enough to look forward to my first listen. At the very least I'm glad I could throw some money to them after all the free music so far.

ok this is ridiculously good. best beats i've heard on a rap record in forever. or since blackenedwhite at least. i can give or take tyler but he does come hard occasionally.

hodgy coming in on sandwitches even more epic after forever of tyler. and is there a rap song called 'fish' that isn't dope?

Q: is this line in Nitsuh's article OTM?

For all we know, Odd Future could be early instigators of a moment where hip-hop experiences the same spasms rock once did — the moment where its orthodoxies have started to seem old, bloated, or silly, so the anarchic freaks come rushing in to make it their creative playground.

he sort of hedges that one. i dont think theres a v good argument that this is the start of anything new

I would like to believe that the original draft of that line was "Perhaps the future of hip-hop is QUITE ODD INDEED!"

lol

I tend to agree with D-40, it's a huge statement not quite backed up with big arguments. But I like chewing on it, I have to admit.

I remember lots of AWFUL articles that were all 'lil jon and crunk is hip-hop's punk moment'

Other than Jay, Kanye and Em, I don't think there is some old culture that needs to be killed off. Hip-hop has always done that p naturally.

there are giant ads for this on some of streets around here now

a moment where hip-hop experiences the same spasms rock once did — the moment where its orthodoxies have started to seem old, bloated, or silly, so the anarchic freaks come rushing in to make it their creative playground.

you could have said this about de la soul

could you? when?

when they rushed in to mock old rap orthodoxies and make rap their creative playground, probably. ever seen the video for "Me, Myself & I"?
