ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL

and i haven't really hung out with anyone that uses "gay" pejoratively since, like, high school.

I don't call the cops when I see horrible shit happen because the cops might fuck with me

i've never been to any OFWGKTA shows

they are playing tonight in boston but I'm too queeah to go

as a big fat white dude i have had to listen to some seriously scary shit from other big fat white dudes about rap music. for decades, actually. maybe i have the kind of face that says: "please tell me all your scary thoughts about rap music and african-americans, i would love to hear them" and i defend or reason or explain or teach as best i can and sometimes i just ignore but sometimes i want to throw a whole bunch of shakes at people and call them all kinds of names. i don't though. i just listen to rap music really loud instead.

the only ppl i hear say 'fag' these days are gay dudes

True story: About 20 years ago I was walking down the Venice boardwalk with a gay couple I knew back then and the one looked at the other and said, "You know, only total fags wear their T-shirt tucked into their cutoffs" (which said dude was in fact wearing at that moment), and the shorts-wearing dude looked back at him and said, "I know."

one thing I like about rap music being so prevalent is I can't remember the last time somebody was incredulous that I listened to rap, everybody listens to rap, moms and grannies and shit

doesn't chris rock have some skit about how ridiculous it's going to be listening to NWA in a nursing home

yeah the only ppl i hear say 'fag' these days are gay dudes.

Interesting. The only person to call me fag or faggot in recent memory is Dom Passantino.

I don't understand what the purpose is with these comparisons.

not sure who that was directed to, but for my part, i go to the comparisons in an attempt to contextualize a complex personal response. you seem pretty comfortable, in this case, saying "fuck it, this shit is just wrong." frankly, i admire that.

i don't personally feel quite as strongly about it. like i don't feel compelled to issue a blanket condemnation, though i can certainly relate to the impulse. goblin's pretty fucking foul and irresponsibly so, granted. but a lot of contemporary pop gives me weird shivers, even when i like it. and i do like OF. for the sake of another pointless lateral comparison, "toot it and boot it" strikes me as misogynist, and i love the shit out of that song. difference there is that it's relatively mild, a gleeful goof, not an endless blood-drenched emo horror flick. much less gross, but still...

in response to those sorts of dissonances, i'm trying to sort my thoughts & feelings out. shit, maybe it's just that i'm too used to equivocating and consequently move too slow.

He has a thing about how doggystyle is > the chronic because as an old dude hell have trouble bumping 'eazy e can eat a big fat dick' but he'll bump gin and juice when he's 90

chris rock otm

I don't think the persona is that complex xp

"everybody listens to rap, moms and grannies and shit"

this isn't really true though.

yeah the only ppl i hear say 'fag' these days are gay dudes.

was out with a couple friends last weekend, going for slices and beers in a largely gay/hipster part of town. saw this trendy-looking kid on a fixed-gear bike pedal past a crowd of older dudes smoking outside a gay bar. they weren't taking up that much room, but he raced through and kinda grazed one of the them. (what was he doing on the sidewalk in the 1st place?)

they kind of set in to yelling at him: "watch it!", "excuse me!", that kind of thing. kid rides about half a block up the street, then turns around and scrams, "FUCK YOU, FAGGOTS!" as loud as he can, then laughs and rides off. so, you know, plus ca change...

scrams = screams, obv

did he tell you where we can download his album?

*rimshot*

"everybody listens to rap, moms and grannies and shit"

this isn't really true though.

I went to a suburban grade school dance last year where moms were getting down to soulja boy, black eyed peas played the superbowl

maybe they aren't dling gucci mane mixtapes but it's pretty much just part of mainstream culture now?

in my world of etc

in my world of suburban grannies

Odd Suburb Wolf Mom Hug Them All

my own grandmother was in fact highly critical of jay-z's autotune stance

Re bicyclist story, lol gbx busted

i'm pretty sure the number of people who would never ever listen to rap is still way bigger than the number of people who do.

The only person to call me fag or faggot in recent memory is Dom Passantino.
^new board description

i was having a tough day

big demographic is also people who "used to like rap when it was good" and who would never listen to any new rap.

"when it was good" any time between 1980 and 2000.

A touch tangential but of relevance (Tyler's mentioned along with a link to Lex's Guardian piece.)

we've been there and done that, ned. please try and keep up.

Can't. Hurts.

my little brother is 19 (ten years younger) and uses "gay" as a pejorative all the time. i also have a mate at work who will say things like "my email's gayed up" or "hmmm... something seems to have gone agay". it doesn't really bother me because i don't actually think they hate gay people, it's just a verbal tic they picked up at school or whatever.

oh, and i think "goblin" is awes. i admit it could be 15 mins shorter, though.

lol @ that new yorker comic

bought a copy of goblin today. when I walked into the local indie chain record store, two other guys were coming in with me, turns out they were looking for goblin too. the store was out of the deluxe version, had 3 copies left of the regular version. so I bailed and headed over to best buy. there was 1 copy left there.

nice packaging.

i bought a copy and then XL sent me one

#firstworldproblems

deej's plan to boost sales by stirring up web buzz seems to be working

if i heard somebody's saying "my email's gayed up" i would totally crack up cuz that is hella stupid
whiney give me ur copy

i think you should only say that if your email is full of gay porn spam

*raises hand*

Gonna be interesting when all the press hype about whether these guys will sell records becomes a deciding factor in their ability to sell records

then again they could just say fuck it and continue to give away their records.

ain't gonna happen dude

So how many people on this thread spent money to buy this in the store.

I'm #1, Edward III is #2....

Not me, but I paid for the Amazon download.

i'll count that as #3

I got it on itunes

#5 - picked it up on tuesday, deluxe
