the future of ODD FUTURE

i know a lot of you guys are a bunch of bandwagoners who don't care about OF anymore :(, but anyway..
BASTARD was an amazing debut. GOBLIN wasn't exactly the masterpiece i expected, but still really good.. in my top 10 albums of the year.. fuck what ya heard.
and EARL was doubtlessly one of the best free albums in the last few years.
even the og BlackenedWhite was dope.

Tyler's 3rd album WOLF is coming out in May (only 6 months!!! swagswagswag).
apparently Tyler is kinda moving away from horrorcore to the chill, synthy music he loves, like Toro Y Moi & N.E.R.D.

"Talking about rape and cutting bodies up, it just doesn't interest me anymore... What interests me is making weird hippie music for people to get high to. With Wolf, I'll brag a little more, talk about money and buying shit. But not like any other rapper, I'll be a smart-ass about it. Now it's just girls throwing themselves at me and shit, but I got a girl back home. People who want the first album again, I can't do that. I was 18, broke as fuck. On my third album, I have money and I'm hanging out with my idols. I can't rap about the same shit."

"I wanna make the music I actually get all my influence from. I don't know how, but I'm gonna try shit like this out. I'm gonna make a band or something."

imo, this is better than any of his older music:

Yeah I've still not given up on them. WOLF is sounding promising. Earl will be back eventually and the new Mellowhype album will be really cool.

Also I woke up at 9 to buy a ticket to their Glasgow show so I'm definitely excited about that.

Yeah, that's what WOLF is apparently going to sound like.

Bastard is amazing.
Goblin is so so.
Earl is the best.
Blackendwhite is really good.

at any rate, I'm happy about Wolf. I think it's gonna be sick. He always said that they weren't a gimmick, they just rapped about what they felt like. Now he feels like this. NERD is his favorite shit, so it makes sense he'd move in this way. I think Wolf will be better than Goblin. I'm happy.

once they get out of that "shouting offensive things is funny" stage they might go somewhere.

well I think they're already somewhere, but I half-agree. I think that in a lot of ways shock factor got people to pay attention, but now it's time to put that aside since ears are on them. And really, I think they're gonna either elevate themselves beyond that (as hinted by Tyler) or not. But if the Mellow Hype album was any indication, that's certainly a rational possibility.

^he puts the ass in assassin. :)

Like, in English and shit.

no it was the shock that GOT attention and the insane talent that KEPT the attention.

bump.

not exactly an OF member, but Vince Staples (the guy who was featured on "epaR") finally got his first tape out. it's DOPE.

Fuck this bandwaggonism you describe. OF is awesome. They've been responsible for some of the best hip-hop releases of the last few years. Radical, BlackenedWhite, Bastard, Goblin, it's all been great. The only part of the equation I am not on board with is Ocean. But disregarding him, I think OF has the potential to be the next Wu-Tang. Yeah, I said it.

I want more.
