Sooooo, I have to do it. So, here goes. So, probably about 3 weeks ago, I'm in the car with Kevin. Normally, he plays shit from his phone, and I just listen and accept it. This time was different. This time, in the car.. I was vibing, hardcore. I mean, head nodding and singing the outro choruses and shit. It was cool. I'm like, "WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?!!". Lol. And Kevin's all nonchalant like, "Oddfuture Wolfgang, this old-ass tape. You haven't heard it before?!" No mothafucka, I hadn't, but I'm SO happy I did. The group is entitled "Odd Future Wolf Gang", "OFWGKTA" for short, "Oddfuture for shorter", "DAMN this is a hot-ass beat!" for long. The two artists I'm gonna focus on tonight are Tyler the Creator, an 18-year-old producer rapper, and Earl Sweatshirt, a West-coast lyricist prodige. Together, the dynamic duo are unstoppable. They're like Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh, except with a beat machine instead of hands, and music about rape and cannibalism, instead of girls and Gucci undies. And yes, I said rape & cannibalism. That's part of what makes their music so irresistible. Though their lyrics reek of anger, anguish, and agony, and their ad-libs include girls screaming, and "you gon' fuckin' love me, bitch", you still can't help but listen. It's kind of like a serious car crash. Even though there's blood and glass everywhere, you can't hope but stare into a scene full of despair, looking for signs of hope. I guess that's exactly what Earl & Tyler do for our generation, they offer hope to Generation Y's ascending musical mortality rate.
Here's the tracklist. Numbers 1&2, and 4-6 are my favorites. I paired 1 and 2 because it's a skit-track set, as are 5 and 6.

WARNING: BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC, this is NOT, I repeat, is NOT for those sensitive to rape or molestation, and those who can't handle graphic description of murder and/or slaughter. There's my two cents! :) Bye.
