When Earl tries to write lyrics that are more poignant and less focused on rape and misogyny, I truly believe he is one of the best lyricists out right now. Not to mention being young as ****. Also, Frank Ocean's ambient, emotion pouring channel ORANGE is a beautiful album with a hazy middle range, powerful high ranges, and features from artists such as Andre 3000 and the aforementioned Earl Sweatshirt. Tyler, the Creator is a talented producer. His rapping ability is dismal, but he finds a way to make it unique enough that it's interesting. He is also a marketing king. I like Odd Future. I truly believe they are the future of hip hop, and possibly music.
