OFWGKTA Interview – MTV News [Full HD]

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Everyone’s new favorite group of kids are making more noise. It’s been a busy two weeks for Odd Future, from appearing on Jimmy Fallon backed by The Roots, to having co-signs from Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Lil Wayne and even Kanye West. Now they have 9 minutes on MTV where the ever-annoying Sway drops westcoast underground names such as Freestyle Fellowship & Pharcyde before dropping OF’s name. Sway STAYS fagging it up but once you get past all that it’s pretty cool to see these kids continue down their path to swagdom.

Is there a bubble? Will it pop? Did they really turned down every major label deal offered this month? Did Tyler leave 1.5M in advances on the table? Will Earl be free? Will Charlie Sheen die before these kids put out an official album? Will Two & A Half Men return before these kids break-up? Who the fuck knows but check out this video. –Philaflava

This felt like an appropriate time capsule to dust off in light of today’s post-OFWGKTA-on-Fallon-appearance mania.

Earl Sweatshirt – FYC ft Gruzen / Mollywhopped

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Two old/(new to me) Earl songs that have been making the rounds on the net over the last few days, both from 2009. Neither one of these would sound too out of place during the Rawkus/indy era. The subject matter is far less extreme here than on his later songs, which makes me wonder how much influence Tyler has on Earl’s content.

Ace The Creator (Tyler) – Fuck Santa

Seasonally appropriate vintage Tyler. He sounds like he’s about 15 or 16 on this.

Curren$y – Racing Stripes ft Dom Kennedy (Chopped & Screwed by Mike G of Odd Future)

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Two things to note here. First, I like Mike G’s experiments in c&s more than those of other youngsters trying their hand at it (another one of his efforts posted here). Second, I have nothing against Dom Kennedy and enjoy some of his music, but I like how his voice sounds slowed down more than his regular voice.

Fucking Finally. Some Person Was Dumb Enough To Give The Odd Future Boys A Fucking Stage In New York. We Pulled Major Strings To Get The Venue To At Least Go To 16 And Up. I Mean, We’re Not That Fucking Old, Why Not Have A Show With People In Our Age Range? Tyler Creator, Mellowhype And Mike G Will Be Swagging The Fuck Out Of This Show. The Big Apple, Here We Cum.

OFWGKTA Live in Los Angeles, October 20, 2010

OFWGKTA Oct. 20th Los Angeles Show Review
by Half Black Steady Bloggin’ Correspondant thekeenone

I’m a regular poster and contributor on Philaflava, and often get turned on to new music with that merry band of ignorant internet savages (HLB, what up).

Not too long ago, a thread popped up that posed the question, “Anyone heard of this EARL kid?”

After watching that first video, the entire board was hooked. We noticed we were not alone, and the OFWGKTA hype was spreading across the Internet and spilling over into respectable print publications faster than anyone could imagine, including OFWGKTA themselves.

When the news of the show at Low End was released, everyone was hype as fuck. Would this online phenom translate into a live show? Would people come? Would it turn into a Black Nazi Riot lead by Tyler himself, with Taco screaming “I’m a fuck every bitch in this room!” (that part happened) as he follows the battle charge?

Being an LA resident (sup Venice) I decided to go to the show along with fellow poster and delicious MC in his own right, Open Mike Eagle.

The place was packed. About 250-300 people. Here’s a shot of the crowd before they went on:

There was a nervous tension in the room that Low End host Nocando picked up on as well. We were all waiting to see, first hand, WTF is OFWGKTA?

Finally a bit after 11pm, the show started. Then this happened:

Wolf Haley & Hodgy Beats – Sandwitches

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Odd Future continues the winning streak. Noz had some good insight about the ongoing horrorcore comparisons Tyler alludes to in the end of the song (go here).

Random songs I’ve been meaning to post – Outkast (c&s by Mike G) / GMane / Aleon Craft+SMKA / Ham+DJ Burn One / Main Attrakionz+Clams Casino / Danny Brown

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I have a bunch of songs on my hard drive that I want to post… some brand new, some vaguely newish, some just new to me. I don’t feel like making individual posts for each, so here goes one big megapost combining them all. They are in not arranged in any particular order, and I don’t remember where some of them come from so advanced apologies if the origin isn’t credited correctly. The picture has nothing to do with anything, that’s just an awesome dog.

**********
First… Outkast’s (Andre’s) ‘Spread’ Chopped & Screwed by OFWGKTA associate Mike G. A nice experiment, the lowered vocals work really well and so do the vaguely dusty instruments in the end. Found it on Mike G’s now defunct http://100sounds.blogspot.com/

DOWNLOAD: Outkast – Spread (chopped & screwed by Mike G)

**********
Some old(ish) GMane. This man needs to put out more new music ASAP, I’m fiending over here.

DOWNLOAD: GMane – Pu$$y

**********
Main Attrakionz + Clams Casino = good shit. I like the way Clams takes one of the mellowest love songs ever and turns it into something a little twitchy and jumpy and not really too romantic, but then Main Attrakionz still use it for something resembling a love song (kinda/maybe/possibly their version of I Used To Love H.E.R.?)

DOWNLOAD: Main Attrakionz – My Only Love Song

**********
I’m not familiar with HAM, he does well on this weed song though. Burn One’s production is always worth checking for. Via Twitter/BLVDST

DOWNLOAD: HAM – Look of bud (prod by DJ Burn One)

**********
Aleon continues a winning streak of collaborations with SMKA, the Stargazing Soundtrack had moments of sheer brilliance (the end of Yoga Flame for example) . This song is from DJBooth’s Freestyle Series.

DOWNLOAD: Aleon Craft – More than expected (prod by SMKA)

**********
Last but not least, something new from Danny Brown. I think this is going to be on the upcoming Hawaiian Snow mixtape, which is definitely a collaboration with Tony Yayo and possibly features Lil B. I’m dying to hear that.

DOWNLOAD: Danny Brown – Cyclops

IF YOU’RE LAZY BUT LIKE ALL THE SONGS IN THIS POST, I PUT THEM ALL INTO ONE ZIPFILE HERE.
