OFWGKTA
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All
A crazy bunch of kids from LA who are so so so good. Yes, white girls can enjoy good rap when they find it. I have a secret affection for rap music that you'd never guess on first sight of me. I only listen to it when I'm in the right mood, and since right now I am pissed off for no explainable reason, this is the perfect time.
Tyler, the Creator is one of the members of OFWGKTA and his song "Yonkers" off his upcoming solo LP Goblin is on repeat for me right now. I love the beat and how it's attack and release is so off-putting. It unconsciously gives you a certain attitude when you're walking and listening to it. Believe me, I just did so.
His lyrics are great too, my mainstream music-hating personality quirk particularly loves this little gem:
"I'll crash the fuckin' airplane that that nigga B.O.B. is in
And stab Bruno Mars in the goddamn esophagus"
His articulation is also full of personality, and that's something I really appreciate.
"Oh, not again, another critic writin' report
I'll stabbin' any bloggin hipster with a Pitchfork."
Please don't stab me. Though it would be an ironic death, yes?
Here's the music video, though the song is shortened. (I'm blown away by his performance. Being a psuedo-actor myself, I love his facial expressions.) It's macabre, but suiting.
Tyler, the Creator - Yonkers
