Tyler, The Creator ft. Earl "AssMilk": So yeah, I'm at work yesterday, and Elucid hits me with the "Earl" video, which is a proper mindfuck full of hilarity and blood, and I'm blown away. I'm also surprised that more cats aren't up on Odd Future. When I heard Earl and the tape this featured track is from, Bastard, I got the feelings I felt when I first got put on to Eminem ("'97 Bonnie & Clyde")... and I missed that feeling. Proper disturbing excellence, but the thing about OF is these cats are true DIY. This is 2010 Punk Rock By Niggas. Most cats scream that "we don't give a fuck" shit and you laugh b/c we are all in on the joke, but OF truly doesn't give a fuck, and I don't think they have to say it. You can tell by all of their self-produced videos, artwork, beats and just the raw energy from the music... and very artistic. I used to chill with a lot of skate heads when I was in high school, and you could feel the energy while around them, but most of those cats just got drunk and filmed themselves. Odd Future takes it to the next level, and brings a necessary element to the Hip-Hop game. This is the sound of niggas who have been outcasts, but instead of trying to assimilate, retreat to their homes and put those feelings of angst and rage into creative expression. I can only hope that a nigga like Tyler could become one of these moguls, own his own empire. Or an island. "The Creator" is a great name for him, and wish is that he full realizes whatever dreams he has.Oh, and expect to keep seeing OF shit on RTD whenever they drop. I'm fucking with their movement, and want to see these niggas get some shine.
