Odd Future Wolf Gang breakdown

These guys are dope! Everytime I hear a new track I think ok this dude is the best in the group. DOWNLOAD FREE MIXTAPE HERE

 We'll start with the frontman, Tyler the Creator, a sadistic 8 year old in a 19 year old's body.  His shit is disturbing, yet genius.  He also directs all of his videos, one of which is one of the dopest I've seen since Missy Elliot's hayday.  In this track he starts off saying "I'm a fuckin walkin paradox, no I'm not".  That is him aruging with his sadistic alterego, Wolf Haley.  When you understand this, you start to see how this kid really is a genius.  One of my favorite lines in this track makes no sense if you don't get the whole Wolf Haley noise.  He says "Green paper, gold teeth and pregnant gold retrievers all i want. Fuck money, diamonds and bitches don't need em!"  That's Wolf and Tyler contradicting eachother. Just watch the video and keep the whole double personality thing in mind, and you will be hoppin' on the Odd Future bandwagon. DOWNLOAD HIS GOBLIN MIXTAPE FREE HERE



 Now let's get to Earl Sweatshirt.  This kid is the truth!! He's 17 years old and already brutally murders every beat he gets.  His most popular track is "earl", but that is more the Odd Future side of him, which is dope, but nothing compared to his lyrical side.  Right now he's off at the Coral Reef Academy in Samoa, because his mom saw the disturbing material he was coming up with and wanted him to get his head straight.  When he comes back, its a wrap! Odd Future will take over the game.  This is one of my favorite Earl tracks, "Assmilk".  It's a collab with him and Tyler and it really showcases his lyrical talent.   Theres one line in this track I keep replaying and replaying because of how dope it is.  "Your grinds feeble, I'm regal really I'm Willy Smith".  When you think about this line, you really see how genius this cat is.  So the line says your grind is weak, and hes regal (means royal) like Will Smith (the Fresh Prince).  Dope already, then you realize that in skateboarding, there is a grind called a feeble, a willy, and a smith.  Wooooaaahhh mind blown! Can't wait to see what Earl puts out when he comes back.

 Then we have the little known dude named Mike G.  This guy has probably the dopest voice I've heard a rapper have in years.  It's totally anti- Odd Future.  It's hella laid back smoke a blunt and cruise music.  But this guy is too different from the rest of the group, I doubt he'll have success until he releases solo albums.  That'll be a good day.

And this is MellowHype, a subgroup of Odd Future that does some real hip hop shit consists of Hodgy Beats and Left Brain.  Mellowhype's tracks vary in style a lot, from songs that sound a lot like Odd Future shit like "64", to that mellow sounding shit like "Polyurthane and Cocainkeys" (maybe thats why they go by MellowHype) We really want to hear some more of that classic style stuff, because we haven't heard much of it this good since the 90's. Just like Tyler, their videos are dope! The Polyurthane video is a must see, and the 64 video is real different. Keep it up Hodgy and Left Brain, MellowHype is working.

Finally heres the R&B guy, Frank Ocean.  His song "Novacane" is getting a lot of play.  Dont get me wrong, this guy is dope, but really nothing phenomenal like the rest of the OF crew.  Here's Novacane.

So basically you have the Dream Team: Tyler, the crazy front man/hype man with steez, Earl, the lyrical prodigy, Mellowhype, the hip hop heads, Mike G, the crusin music and Frank Ocean, the voice.  GET ON THAT OF HYPE!
