GOM multiquotes!
I asked Al this in chat yesterday, but I question if the others will even be recognized by new fans. I feel like Tyler and Earl are going to be the face of Odd Future and none of the others will blow up as much as them when they gather "mainstream" appeal.
I'm interested to see how their success pans out. It's been a while since I gave a shit about an artist's following.
I think minus Earl and Tyler that MellowHype has the most chance of getting a good amount of attention. Hodgy can spit and just seems to improve with every song he is on/they make and Left Brain is really talented behind the boards just like Tyler is.
eminem needs to sign these guys. dont know why he signed slaughterhouse and yelawolf.
these dudes are young and havent even reached their creative peak yet. the controversy alone would generate album sales. somebody is going to be smart and sign them and make a killin and make hip hop history. i'm with you nuttkase, i'm not understanding why they havent been signed yet.
I think the big labels probably don't know what to think of them yet. How would they market a kid (I'll just talk about Tyler here for a second) who talks about some off the wall shit but also raps about cereal and cartoons sometimes? You have to take more or less everything Tyler says with much more then a grain of salt. He talks about drug use a bit but in many interviews says he doesn't drink or smoke. He constantly says he can't wait to sellout but this is his big break and he far from did that. He dropped probably his sickest beat to date and the lyrics were just as dark as the other stuff he has said for the most part.
Back to the whole camp. I think one thing I find funny that a lot of people that are new/casual fans might not get is they all use lots of little inside jokes and disses about each other and the such. Right now no one new is going to know what the hell he is talking about when he spits the part about Sid in Yonkers.
Rasan as a producer what did you think of Yonkers on that level? How about as a song and as song/video? Just kind of interested because you seem to know the kids have talent and could make their mark but I haven't seen you say much about the actual music. I just want to get your 2cents on those parts of it all.
I agree.
lol @ Tyler on the NME video - "when i get rich i'm not gonna talk to any of these n*ggas. im serious" or something like that (referring to odd future)
Look at my above post. I honestly think he was just fucking around as he usually seems to be. Tyler is like the class clown who just happens to have a twisted mind as well it seems.
