almost beat lonely island

I think I kind of hate Andy Samberg

the one joke he can do was already old/overdone in 1987

I saw an ad for Goblin on Adult Swim last night. It was intensely annoying.

that michael bolton song by lonely island is amazing

haha yes, I agree

Ks didn't get to my q :-(

which was?

"do you hate fags"

' why they make the cl6 with a clutch'

Great post shakes

KS finished with:

Anyway: thanks for the questions, and thanks for reading. Next up: an exhaustive 20,000-word article about SpaceGhost Purrp.

STOKED

K coming with the sarcasm

kelefa sanneh goon intellectual elite

totally

goon poet laureate

i can't tell which potential storyline interests me more: earl coming back as 'reformed', tentative about OF or earl's mom falsifying statements motivating him to come back badder than ever

just got my nyer tonight--bang-up job by sanneh imo

I can't find a copy but I've only looked in supermarkets + drugstores

que predictable tyler tweet

or que obliviousness, b/c obv the dude is way way way too enamored by the 50k album sales he's got going. number of tweets/hr is kinda nuts.

or que obliviousness, that got posted to this thread right after it happened on sunday. number of thread posts/hr is kinda nuts.

so sorry

reading back, I was more into the fact that GLAAD has gotten involved versus Tegan & Sara saying anything... dunno why Tegz and Sarah had to bring it to GLAAD's attention, or why they chose to align themselves w/ her (and not just offer something exclusive unto themselves) but ok bye thread

wasn't saying you did anything wrong, just lol thread is hueg

schweeeet

I've been studiously ignoring Odd Future for the past nine months, but I just read the New Yorker piece and downloaded Goblin. Like the first couple of tracks so far, but it seems like something I might have to pay close attention to.

Also this thread is basically impossible to load.

at some point, a second thread should be started

vince staples is the shit

am i the only person here that doesn't think this is the greatest thing ever?

no

this thread is long

in retrospect we should've created a new thread for the goblin release

dunno why Tegz and Sarah had to bring it to GLAAD's attention,

are you really asking this question. this ties into what I was referring to upthread where people only decry OH NOES TEH HOMOPHOBIA/MYSOGYNY when a rap act threatens to reach white suburbia. otherwise none of these groups or major media outlets (or Tegan and Sara lolz) give a shit.

like, there's an implicit racism in it - when black people are doing it amongst themselves it's ignorable, but if enough white kids are on it OH NO threat to society alert!

maybe racism is too strong a term. double standard is probably more accurate.

i think yonkers is great, other than that...nothing really "ground breaking" IMO.

yeah it's weird! when Skrewdriver was making those records and hardly anybody said what bullshit they were and then suddenly when Axl Rose writes One In A Million and people get all outraged - I was like, you fuckin hypocrites, you have to also notice the shit in stuff that doesn't cross your radar

Can't figure out if Goblin is a joke or if I got rickrolled on some autotune r&b shit but it doesn't sound like OFWGKTA at all.

shakey maybe tegan + sara only heard about OF/tyler because they finally "reached white suburbia"

unless you think they have been reading this thread or following tyler's twitter all along and only ran to GLAAD when the album came out on XL or something

xp heh aero got in first

I mean seriously Shakey - this stuff is getting a giant press push. are they supposed to go In Search Of Stuff That Hates Gay People or they're big ol' racists? what bullshit.

In Search Of Stuff That Hates Gay People

uh, aren't they? isn't this GLAAD's job? also it's not like homophobia/mysogyny in rap is some kind of well-kept secret or the OFWGKTA is somehow unique in this respect. attacking something as it reaches mass consciousness only brings that particular act even MORE notoriety. it's stupid to single them out, not to mention counterproductive. Controversy sells records.

shakey i'd like to know what type of rap you think doesn't reach the suburbs in 2011? because as far as i know, there is none.

like, what's their end-goal here? to make Odd Future less popular? to make Tyler rap about different stuff? FAIL

xp

I dunno, it's tough to parse because if you sell enough records you're more likely selling to wite america and of course people are only gonna care about things that sell enough

an analog would be the media decrying some numbnuts racist organization in the boonies (prolly wouldn't bother) vs a presidential candidate who was a member of said organization, more attention just naturally brings more outrage

plus OF purposely push the offensiveness thing
