The only songs I kept on his album are the one with Scarface and John Legend, and "I Feel Good"(mostly because of the beat). He's usually at his best as a feature.

For once, alansmithee and I agree on something. Wolf is impressive. A lot easier to listen to now that it lacks and the rape and shock. The production is the star. Yes, Pharrell helped produce IFHY and it's basically a NERD song but it sounds great. And the video is pretty clever

So yeah.

Colossus is a good take on The Way I Am and Stan as a single song.

Sorry but this is false. Carter 4 was worse (only song thats listenable is the one about having a Choppa in the Cah) and I'm pretty sure sorry 4 the wait and D4 were both worse, although I'm not sure about D4.


Also need to give Wolf another listen, i was tired as hell and fell asleep the first time but from what I heard both the rapping and production were more diverse and better than goblin.

Something ironic, I'm certain
I'm getting in touch with a lot of the hip-hop I listened to when I was in high school. My favourite hip-hop artist from back then was Kyprios, formerly of Sweatshop Union. He was like a lot of other WE GOTTA CHANGE THE INDUSTRY Canadian hip-hop artists from that time, although more in-your-face. The guy's a great performer and he had a lot of hype going into the release of his debut album Say Something, but he sadly never took off. I liked him a lot when he first came out and although I'm older and I'm kind of tired of "conscious" hip-hop, he holds up really well.

This Is My Hit was his debut single. It's a nice track with a great tongue-in-cheek hook, although the "real hip-hop" elitism will irk some audiences.

Microscopic but on a macro level within.

So... I've been trying to listen to some of this new Tyler album and I guess I just don't "get" Tyler. I hate his "flow" (that monotonous talk-rap thing he always does) if you can call it that. Really I just can't get down with his whole urban emo/mischievous aesthetic. It is just too Odd-Futurey and that's what I was afraid of.

Is there something somebody can tell me about him that might help me get into him or at least dislike him less? I have no context or perspective for why Odd Future is popular. I've talked about it before in this thread but they all kinda suck IMHO except Frank and occasionally Earl and I am a bit frustrated (at myself? in general?) because I don't get why people like them. Feel like maybe I'm missing something and it just hasn't clicked yet?

(edit: yes - I realize there is an OF thread, but I thought I might get a better answer here instead of a "yeah you just don't get him" answer)

Tyler The Creator owns, sorry retard. I'm joking

Tyler is all about "Hey guys, I'm joking...but am I?" and that's what makes his lyrics interesting for me. You don't know if he's being real or if he's just chatting a load of poo poo. It's horrorcore but safe, happy horrorcore and if you've ever seen Happy Tree Friends, you'll understand what I mean. In terms of his lyrical flow, I don't think he's got the greatest flow ever but it sounds good enough to me. The production on this latest album is outstanding and you can tell that Pharrell has helped him polish up on that. For me, it's the best album so far this year because it's actually an album. I keep skipping tracks on every other album/mixtape thats come out this year but Wolf is like GKMC, in that, it works better as an album instead of individual songs and you have to listen to the entire thing to get a real feel for the songs.

I've been playing Wolf/BFK back to back for the past two days and can't bring myself to listen to anything else apart from some 36 mafia.

Yeah, I don't really agree with this at all. First, dude's way too sincere to pull off the whole "maybe I'm joking" schtick. And also, there's nothing horrorcore about Wolf at all (you could argue Bastard and Earl had some elements, but it would be thin and none of the other OF stuff was like that really).

Tyler's essentially an early Eminem/current Kanye mix content wise-lots of poo poo about his upbringing and how it messed him up with some "woe is me I'm rich and famous" poo poo also thrown in between typical braggadocio rapping and random goofy young person poo poo. His more personal songs though aren't nearly as played for laughs as a lot of Em's early poo poo though. And he's not quite as self-absorbed and self-important as Kanye. He's also a pretty good rapper: he mixes up his flow and is pretty clever with his lines. He's probably not quite as good as early Em but few people are.

As to why he's popular, I'd say it's largely because there's some white people who don't need to hear about negroes being killed to enjoy a rap song.

1. Oh, dubstep is the thing now? Here's how you do it.

2. Oh, Pitbull style dance is the thing?

3. Rap to gently caress to.

4. The Story Song.

Just wanted to capture this evidence of a dude talking about poo poo he knows literally nothing about and displaying how big of an idiot he is. Unless you mean general rap audience as in "people living in America" or something and then you're not just stupid but apparently in the habit of saying poo poo that doesn't mean anything.

edit-not to say that average white people don't also like hearing about negros dying, but they're just not interested in hearing about it when it's other blacks doing the killing.
