Wow. Never thought I’d be saying this but the future generation has hope AFTER ALL but it’s going to be a little ODD. While this is not your traditional soulful post BLS is known for, we’re universal and open-minded. Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All (yes! that is the FULL name of the group) according to Billboard is “a Los Angeles-based collective of rappers, producers, skateboarders, filmmakers, designers and general miscreants, all in their late teens and early 20s.” I find it so refreshing to see a group of kids that are talented come together and do something that is extraordinary, awesome, creative, and scary all at once. I found out about them recently through my good friend Anthony (@tony3k) Scott. This is the first glimpse of what I heard from them. The group member, Tyler the Creator, released this video for his song “Yonkers”. A lot like how I felt with most of the Wu-Tang Clan members, not sure what he is speaking of, however, I was please. The song is very dark just as much as the imagery. I would say,don’t eat before you watch it but the song is pretty dope in my opinion. Check it out! (Parental Advisory/May Be Offensive)
OFWGKTA is dope! Every member is unique and their own Person, i like that. They’re getting hella Buzz now, but they’ve been out for awhile .
So here’s the thing (solely my opinion which I can state)… Odd Future is something that hip hop hasnt seen in a very long time. Very grungy and aggressive sound and very rebellious… (modern day NWA maybe?) but clearly completely different topics. My issue with odd future is that I’ve found the lyrics to be offensive… almost like the first Atheist hip hop group maybe? IDK… I know many people find different things offensive, so they dont support it… But I feel that some people who “listen” to odd future arent LISTENING…just like with a ton of other artists that are out. *shrugs* just my opinion
