I've listened to most of these guys fairly extensively and have only really been impressed by jay electronica. But Jay is amazing, and isn't scared to do some weird ****.
Don't know what that was but it's tight

and there's Odd Future (specifically Tyler and Earl), everyone was on their nuts before Yonkers, and when Yonkers came out, then after Goblin/Tyler really blew up, a lot of people started hating quick. i still think they're both okay (i was stuck on some of that Radical mixtape and some tracks from Bastard/EARL for a while, though), they have some bangers here and there, but Tyler has some clear potential for vision... Goblin showed signs of that, he has the potential to do some dope ****.

Yeah not just tyler but the whole crew is maturing musically which i didn't expect, frank ocean on watch the throne sounded great.

oh yeah, and although i haven't been able to get into him so far, that dude Lil B is mad weird. i can't tell what he's doing, sometimes he's just being satirical, seems like some weird commentary, other times he can ride a beat kinda nicely, i dunno man.. strange dude, worth keeping an eye on just for that. weird cats are good for music.

Yeah man, i figured out a lot of artists i like are intentionally cryptic and misleading and this is lil b to an extreme. I really hope that the jay electronica/lil b collab actually happens.
