Pretty sure they would like to make money. There's a reason Three 6 Mafia doesn't rap about Satan and raping Eve and stuff anymore, they like money.

I think they just have to tone down how often they rap about surprise sex. The Slim Shady LP was full of references to Em murdering his wife. There was even a skit as I recall that had him moving her body. Odd Future can still prosper with some surprise sex raps. Controversy creates cash, or so they say. I don't know how much sway Wal Mart can have on a band's success anymore as iTunes has risen in prominence. Odd Future will need to eventually begin exploring new territory though or face career killing redundancy.

I've been following this thread for a while now and I'm a little lost. What's up with Earl? Is he in jail or something?

The rumor is his mom heard his album and sent him to boarding school or some poo poo.

Droppin the Funk Bomb!

I keep hearing different stories about Earl. One says he got a skating ticket and his mom sent him to boarding scchool, or that he was sending out a shitload of text messages and wouldn't help pay the bill, so she sent him to a youth work program. It's not really clear, and things are being kept pretty quiet. Bottom line, he hosed up and is out of the picture for a while.

in noz's wire article he says that earl got a minor trespassing ticket + his mom got pissed after hearing his music and he's pretty tight with OF so i'd assume that that's the correct story.

I'm surprised this particular song hadn't been posted yet:

Tyler, The Creator - French
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk68dCUQjzE

It's only a short segment of it but the rest of the song is just as beast. Tyler's album is awesome in its entirety. The album is called "Bastard".

edit:
And I guess it was just me that was interpreting the whole "surprise sex" thing as more of a metaphor. That and when they rapped about raping eve I thought "gently caress bitches, get money".

So does this mean that Earl is out?

Or was this recorded like, last year?

Anyway, that production was weak, even for a joke track.

Earl's verse has nothing to do with christmas really, so I'm just guessing it was a verse from the earl/tyler split they were working on before he was sent off.

What happened to the xmas album being handed out during the show the other day? Did that not happen, as I figured that it would have been uploaded by now if it was.

Anyone know?

Anyway, here is the show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edsWU6aWPzo

More like <30 seconds. But I might actually buy the hard copy if it is actually done well with a nice book and whatnot. I have no problem with supporting them.

It also needs a nice cover. Should get Lil B on that to help. Will be the first actual cd I buy in a long time.





Also, I was listening to Earl, and for some reason after 100 listens in my car (that doesn't show the track name) I never realized that erap was more then just Earl. Until Earl referenced Vince. They sound pretty similar to my ear, why isn't Vince Staples promoted more?


I also found some old earl poo poo here http://www.myspace.com/mindfuck34

Thought the same thing.

Vince Staples isn't OF and Tyler said he only wants to gently caress with OF people now. No bad blood though. His verse on Lunchbox on the new Jet Age of Tomorrow album is pretty good, check it out.

there's a track with Vince Staples that is on Mike G's Ali album. I first thought I was listening to Earl, considering the flow and subject matter are similar.

I'd suggest checking that out.
