dude is overrated and not all that good. at all.

Did the buzz around this group die out when everyone got Tyler's album and realised it was bad and boring?

I thought the album was pretty good. No Bastard though, but still.

Catching these live in a few weeks, should be a decent gig.

psh seriously? production-wise, it's WAY more sonically interesting than more than half of the OF tracks. rap-wise, it fits contextually—although not groundbreaking—but as a package this is a cream dream compared to a lot of the confrontational OF naivete. i'm curious what your standard of comparison is.

edit: i'm guessing OF is the standard of comparison, in which case i stand by my above statement.

free earl :sup:

anyone else feel like rap has stagnated atm? Are these guys really the cutting edge, the ones "changing the game?" if so... it's not reaaaaally anything i haven't heard before. I'm beginning to feel that perhaps we've reached the end of this particular alley of music. I'd like to be proved wrong, but right now Lil B and OF aren't quite cutting it. I'll take chuggo.

shhiiiiiit we need sini in here to tell us that he has good taste.

edit: Based god deserves his place in rap history for "I'm Gay." that takes a certain type of cojones.

Shabazz Palaces is pretty refreshing

I didn't compare him to anybody? I just see a lot of hype for him and he's not that good. He's alright.

MESSAGE BOARD POST FROM STEVE ALBINI:

 

  Quote

My band shared an airport shuttle with [Odd Future] in Barcelona. They piled onto the shuttle late, after finally getting corralled by their minder, who was nursing a head wound with an ice bag wrapped in a towel. They piled in, niggering everything in sight, motherfucking the driver, boasting into the air unbidden about getting their dicks sucked and calling everyone in the area a faggot. Then one of them lit a joint (or a pipe, I didn't look) and told the driver to shut the fuck up nigger and smoked it anyway. A female passenger tried to engage one of them in conversation, but he just stared at her with a dead-to-me stare while his seatmate flipped double birds in her face.

The whole trip they complained about not being at a McDonalds and repeatedly shouted for the motherfucker to pull over so they could get some fucking McDonalds nigger. Interspersed with the McDonalds requests were shouted boasts about how often they masturbated and fucked bitches nigger and got paid like a motherfucker fifty grand like a motherfucker. They continued complaining that the trip was taking too long and insisted they be fed immediately all the way to the airport, where their minder presumably fed them.

I am quite happy none of them engaged me directly, because at least one of us would have regretted it.

I am well aware, thanks, that good people can make ugly art and that ugly people can make good art. Ultimately the function of art is to express something and move an idea from one person to another, and the tools of that can include revulsion and discomfort. Having been in a few bands myself, thanks, I know that the uninitiated can mistake these devices as windows into the soul of the creator. Ultimately they are, of course, but not necessarily in the crude autobiographical way they are often interpreted.

I know all that, so I am never quick to judge a person based on a superficial reading of creative output. Peter Sotos is a lovely fellow whom I trust implicitly, despite his writing evoking a truly primal disgust in me, to use another rapey example. Michael Gerald from Killdozer said it best in an interview, when the journalist remarked that he seemed like a nice fellow, which was unexpected given that the characters in his songs are often repellent. "Oh, that's not us," he said, "that's the crazy people we sing about." In that light, I am one hundred percent behind Odd Future's right to rap about what they wanna rap about, and if she don't like it fuck her.

And also fuck me. It's none of my business what they wanna. I'm not part of the audience for hip hop, and as a non-dilettante I don't generally respond to it when I hear it, so I can't make any critical assessment of Odd Future's music on its own terms, but they go out of their way to make it clear that this is not a case of regular people making music about assholes, but assholes making music about being assholes. I have no time for that. I don't respond kindly to it when Ted Nugent does it either.

If the whole thing is a put-on, a bit of Vincent Gallo life-as-theater for the benefit of whoever happens to be sitting next to them, that's no excuse. It's being an asshole about being an asshole. [Electrical Audio]

albini is reaching cranky mage level 19 at this point, but i do love his cranky literary justice.

edit: he is also a warrior/poet in the kitchen in addition to famously being a cunt, how can watmm not adore this fine gentleman

lol

At the end of the Brooklyn Vegan article:

"Steve's band Shellac have an upcoming tour with TWO shows at The Bell House in addition to ATP NJ. Tickets are still available to both Brooklyn shows. Odd Future's upcoming tour includes a sold out show at Terminal 5."

lol

wait people still care about these people?

i think it's just the teenagers that do at this point. although for what it's worth, earl sweatshirt is the only rapper out of the crew that i admire, lyrically. his new track is on top of a james pants beat, too, so a bit of a double whammy there.

Saw them live.

It was fucking entertaining anyway.

Yey Earl is back. Lets see what he got.

The adult swim show is going to suck. Maybe it won't happen (it's probably already been cancelled due to shitty organization on the part of a bunch of teenagers)

never mind it's happening and it's billed as

  Quote

a combination of Jackass and Chappelle's Show.

Earl is clealy not back.

That video was a bad re-edit of something he did ages back. That track had very rough production and was probably one of his pre-OF tracks from that album that never saw the light of day.

Some kid is trolling, and Pitchfork are too hip to properly fact check.

(I could be wrong, but that video and song seem dodgy as fuck. Plus Tyler isn't have a caps lock word orgasm on his twitter about it.)
