I'm kind of shocked they did "Sandwitches." That's awesome.

Derek 02.17.2011 08:40 AM

I loved seeing Mos Def at the end.

Having said that, I kinda wish a gay rapper (or anyone, really) would step up and create a counterpoint/dialog to this bullshit empty shock posturing Odd Future seem to be getting away with. Why, lyrically, is talking about faggots and bitches still considered revolutionary? I don't buy this whole "I'm only mirroring my reality" bullshit anymore - there's an asymmetry to a lot of their lyricism that feels really tiring. And i say this as a die-hard hip hop fan. I guess there's been slightly less overt homophobia in mainstream rap and it now becomes acceptable and edgy to start railing against faggots? Whenever pitchfork indie culture machine et. al writes about hip hop, it's always treated as some kind of subaltern place, like they need to change their critical lenses or something since they're so unequipped, or they're afraid to touch on issues like political economy without it looking like white tastemakers admonishing "black art." I wish there were more artists producing WORK that critically engages with this stuff.


u guys obviously don't watch The Boondocks, there was a whole episode about that. a good one too!

TheMadcapLaughs 02.17.2011 04:59 PM

and although i like odd future, the "sandwitches" performance just some like juvenille and slightly weaker version of gravediggaz.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwJmEvLXvq8

i love this song

Derek 02.17.2011 05:32 PM

tyler said he doesn't even listen to gravediggaz so i dunno

keep poppin pimples 02.17.2011 05:53 PM

i think they sound more like a juvenile and weaker version of ganksta n.i.p. than gravediggaz

Derek 02.17.2011 06:09 PM

i don't think they sound like a juvenile, weaker version of anyone

They make juvenile look harder than the most mature of rap groups. I'm so happy about their response on Fallon. These kids are about to make it huge after self-releasing everything for only a year or two.

Golf wang.

noisereductions 02.17.2011 07:28 PM

that Fallon performance was so incredible man. I watched it several times in a row. Just astounding. The intensity level is unreal. And when Tyler jumps on Jimmy's back, there's a smile that's just real. I mean like you know he was proud of himself.

Derek 02.18.2011 06:54 AM

I keep seeing random people online getting into them after 'Yonkers' and even some people in my school are now getting into them. Fucking weird man.

Derek 02.18.2011 06:54 AM

On the negative side, I've self-released most of my music for the past year and no one's gave a shit. FUCK OFWGKTA.

Maybe I should just become a rapper, I dunno.

noisereductions 02.18.2011 08:31 AM

if u did I'd listen.

noisereductions 02.18.2011 08:31 AM

not.

as long as it's on a UUUUUU release

StevOK 02.18.2011 09:40 AM

Okay, so I heard their performance on Jimmy Fallon and liked it. What should I download to start with?

tcpotbntmy 02.18.2011 09:51 AM

Bastard, EARL or Rolling Papers.

noisereductions 02.18.2011 10:01 AM

EARL, Bastard and only after that Radical.

Rome wasn't built in a day, my friend. I've been self-releasing my music (though labels have put it out too) for 13 years, and only in the past year or two did anyone seem to give a shit. There's just SO MUCH stuff out there, that I think it's very difficult for people to keep up with all of it... I was lucky to start making music right as mp3's were starting to get popular. Now every other drone project is net-releasing than 10-hour albums, for example. I've been lucky to meet lots of superfriendly people via last.fm, and the ones that truely care, are superdevoted to everything I do. I'd take 2 or 3 superfans over 1000 "last.fm listeners" you know what I mean? You already have a hardcore fan in me, so just get a couple more superfans and you'll be a champion.

atsonicpark 02.22.2011 01:11 PM

Also, is it just me, or is GRAVEDIGGAZ - 6 FEET DEEP the best rap album of all time?...

it's a fantastic album. Certainly in my, say Top 50 rap albums of all time. But number one? Nope.

Derek 02.22.2011 01:21 PM

Thanks buddy, I was being a bit facetious (obviously a rap group are going to get more recognition than drone music) but you're right. As long as at least one person is getting something out of it then there's meaning in continuing music.

Now, what to do with the 90 minutes of music I've recorded so far for the new record? 2 albums perhaps?

atsonicpark 02.22.2011 01:49 PM

Fuck that, do some more, make it a triple cd!

Derek 02.22.2011 02:01 PM

"The Astral Travels 2, 3 + 4: SO VERY TIRED"

atsonicpark 02.22.2011 02:08 PM

haha

just do a uuuuuuuubox

loubarret 02.22.2011 02:08 PM

How far are they away from a adult swim mixtape...

atsonicpark 02.22.2011 02:09 PM

derek do a 6 cd set, one for each letter in your name

"disc 1: u"
"disc 2: u"

etc

but you know, when you put them all side by side it spells your name!!

batreleaser 02.22.2011 04:04 PM

tyler the creator's tweets are fantastic. his rhymes are too.

Good idea.

Decayed Rhapsody 02.22.2011 04:49 PM

I think I want to get into my first Twitter spat with Tyler. Right now.

I think I want to watch. Right now.

Decayed Rhapsody 02.22.2011 05:52 PM

I want a pack of real banjee fags to corner him in an alley.

noisereductions 02.22.2011 06:03 PM

I want him to make more songs.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 02.22.2011 06:45 PM

Some dude (not from this forum) posted the Yonkers video on Facebook yesterday. That video has so many views on Youtube - it's sick. I'm very interested in seeing how big these guys make it.

NATAS - Doubelievengod is my personal favorite.


 


Six Feet Deep is pretty good though, it's up there for sure. ASP have you ever listened to early Three Six Mafia at all? Back when they were The Triple Six Mafia? That whole crew used to be so sick. Koopsta Knicca and Lord Infamous being my personal favorites. Sadly, they were among the first to leave the group. Mystic Stylez is my 2nd favorite hip-hop album of all time. It came out right after the name change, and it's absolutely brilliant.


 


That's why I like these Odd Future guys. Not only do they have sick flows, and phat beats, but they capitalize on the shock factor that makes hip-hop so fun in the first place. Something with balls. Big balls. Plus the production is fucking slick!

Derek 02.22.2011 06:56 PM

Yeah, Mystic Stylez is great.

noisereductions 02.22.2011 10:10 PM

yup Mystic Stylez rules. Triple Six was sooo differnt than Three 6. But it's all good.

noisereductions 02.25.2011 02:29 PM

apparently OF was on MTV the other day. I didn't get to catch it. Anyone see it? Is there a vid up somewhere yet? Wasn't on OF.com or youtube yet. Though OF's site had a trailer of sorts, I'd really like to see the whole thing.

Derek 02.25.2011 03:31 PM

The 'trailer' was the whole thing.

REALLY??? That's a drag. It was less than 2 minutes. Pfft.
