odd future aka (ofwgkta)

Thanks to Fast Eddie of the SO~SO’s for putting me on this. Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA) is the future. Call it what you will, shock-rap, dystopian hip-hop, it’s refreshing to hear something other than Train and their number 1 selling song on iTunes for 2010.  

Here is an article by Sean Fennessey posted on Pitchfork which pretty much sums up this group. 
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All are a 10-deep hip-hop collective. But don’t dare call them the new Wu-Tang Clan. They insist they’re different. The collective features rappers, producers, visual artists, skate kids, contrarians, outcasts, amoral teenagers, and fatherless children. They are known for several things: They excoriate the rap blogs Nah Right and 2dopeboyz, because those sites refuse to promote OFWGKTA’s music. They hate the Los Angeles hip-hop dance movement called jerkin’ and all practitioners. Their mantra is “Fuck Steve Harvey.” They have re-appropriated swastikas for their visual palette. One of their members, 16-year-old Earl Sweatshirt, is currently in boot camp, or prison, or boarding school, or he’s on a long vacation— it’s difficult to tell. They worship the streetwear brand Supreme’s box logo hoodies. They have a Tumblr. On that Tumblr, active since February, they have self-released solo albums, EPs, and mixtapes. All of their music is free. They rap about raping women. Often. They live by a code— if something is cool, it’s swagged out. If it’s not, fuck it. Talented, hilarious, villainous, immature, precocious, and viral— they are at the vanguard of modern hip-hop.” 

Anyways, here are some videos of their radness.
