I'm kinda of not surprised. These guys remind me of a band. It's hard to explain, but the way they're built coupled with their content, it's easy to see why Rolling Stone and such are on them.

And you can listen to the music and tell the fame aspect isn't what it is for Drake or somebody.

It's a damn near guarantee that they'll be in the next XXL rookie class. If they aren't it's criminal.

So many people are jumping over themselves to co-sign them.

**Coatesvillain** · 10-23-2010, 04:49 AM

I just found out about this Jet Age of Tomorrow stuff, this is them too? Wow. This is completely different from everything else they've put out.

**Coatesvillain** · 11-02-2010, 05:36 AM

If you liked EARL or Bastard, I suggest you check out Blackened White. Best production yet. Hodgy Beats went in on this one. If I had to put someone onto them this would be the album I'd tell them to listen to first.

Buzz is just getting bigger and bigger. Had sold out shows in LA,London and NY. Mos def went to the nyc show. And Hot 97 played their music. NY times did a article on them.

They also talked about Earl in the article...and where he may be at right now. Good to see these guys keep rising up. FREE Earl

way behind on this, good tho.

They recently got co-signs by Soulja Boy and Erykah Badu on twitter. Erykah is gonna **** around and have Tyler's kid. lol

Their tour to NYC and London was paid for by XL recordings.

Here's part of an article from SPIN of their performance in NYC:

Quote:

"**** every label and magazine here, suck my dick!" shouted 19-year-old rapper Tyler, The Creator during the New York coming out party for his potty-mouthed, insanely hyped, comically prolific Tumblr-rap crew Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All.

While the intimate show at Webster Hall Studio was mostly packed with horn-rimmed diehards, it was no secret that it was still doubling as a feeding frenzy for music critics, label execs, and industry hangers-on. Tyler is no one's bait, and lashed out in the middle of a brawny acapella of just-don't-give-a-**** anthem "Seven," a song that already featured a few homophobic cracks, cocaine endorsement and a line where he refers to his 10-person crew as "black Nazis."

In short, OFWGKTA love to push buttons.

Fittingly, their live show felt more like a sweat-soaked punk rock teenage riot than a rap show. The vibe remained sweat-soaked from the second a ski-mask clad Tyler leaned into the set's hard-as-nails opener "Sandwitches."

An insular master of dubby textures, ambient noise and blunted synths on record, Tyler sings the body electric on stage, indulging in crunkgasms somewhere between Lil Jon and Omar Rodríguez-López. He stage-dove three minutes into the set, shimmied apoplectically, sprayed water, rolled his eyes into the back of his head and skanked around like a one-man circle pit. In a shining moment of true ****-all geek-empowerment, he took an on-stage hit of his asthma inhaler.

Notoriously foul-mouthed Los Angeles rap collective OFWGKTA, a.k.a. Odd Future, has had quite a year; six months ago, nobody had heard of the high-schoolers. But blog buzz, a penchant for pushing buttons and some wickedly funny, in-your-face lyrics have resulted in lots of press and downloads.

It's also meant a label bidding war, a booking at Coachella -- and, as of 10 minutes ago, an appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" for the most prominent of the posse: Tyler, the Creator. The rapper just tweeted this:

"Tyler The Creator And Hodgy Beats Of OFWGKTA Will Be On Jimmy Fallon The 16th Of FEBRUARY. oddfuture.com."

Late to this, but Earl Sweatshirt is ****ing dope.

TYO23 · 02-11-2011, 06:01 AM

Tyler just dropped the first single Yonkers from his new album Goblin...

The video is a lot better than the song.

HB · 02-11-2011, 04:08 PM

He'll never get airplay with that song but at least he is true to his art

**Coatesvillain** · 02-11-2011, 04:12 PM

47k people watched that video in less than a day. That's incredible.

**Dre** · 02-12-2011, 05:29 PM

That beat goes hard as ****..but the video just seems kind of "look at me"...something I would've done at that age...

**Coatesvillain** · 02-13-2011, 05:24 AM

The look at me thing is basically his M.O.

Did we talk about this blatant attempt by Soulja Boy to bite Odd Future?:

LOL

This is a couple months old but still shameful. Dre the Developer? Vampire Gang? LOL This dude feels his feet in the fire.
