I voted excellent because it's about time hip hop got someone who isn't afraid to say whatever he wants, best rapper of the year so far.
**** the industry |
Goblin, Fish, Analog, and Golden were really good

"Golden" gives me the chills more than any other song I've heard this year.

I'm a ****in' table!

I like how drastically my view on his music has changed over the summer. He's definitely one of my favorite artists right now.

Okay, so I've finally given most of this album a proper Youtube listen. Completely and utterly messed up, but brilliant. I only really like Rap when it's impeccably well done, and this album is just that.
|
The albums fantastic, Tyler is a madman with his lyrics. The taboo appeal and the beats, even the guys voice is just well put together. Hope this guy keeps up the good work.

Technically for sure, but I think Tyler has some of the best ideas and concepts. Sometimes they get a little too ambitious, but it's fun.
|
I can't get excited about it to be honest. A few tracks are great, but it's just about average for me, nothing more or sell. The production is dire at times.
|
it sounded "excellent" upon first listen
it's a few notches down for me, now nothing especially "groundbreaking" about it still voted "good" neways |
I think that comes back to his ambitions getting a little lofty at times. He tried stretching Fruity Loops beyond its sonic capabilities, and his ideas and lyrics can feel a little forced at times. But I think it's a good effort, as good as Bastard but in different ways. I'm hoping Wolf will bring something especially new to the table.
|
I think if he had put out this album with 10 or 12 tracks on it everyone would be going crazy for it. The filler gives too much time to doubt whether its a good album or not

But it's a good album, though. My favourite songs are Goblin, Yonkers, She and Tron Cat. I also like the surprising takes in Radicals, and the relaxing feeling you get from Window and Fish. |

Who's so much better then?

I don't really feel like going through every "shocking" rap group/artist ever to be honest, but there are probably hundreds who use shocking lyrics in a more successful way.
|
You're not really proving much. Even outside of "shock" (which I care least about) Tyler is a solid rapper.
|
You are adding your own conclusions to my statement. I think he is crap at being "shocking" because he isn't convincing in any way. He is a good rapper though, I wouldn't doubt that.
|
Well I'd personally much rather he be a better rapper than a convincing boogyman.
|
Your tone suggests we don't agree for some reason.
|
Probably. I am a little confused as to why you'd mention how awful a shock rapper he is if you didn't have a problem with him.
|
I do have a problem with him. But that doesn't mean I think he is bad. He just doesn't make great music, and what he raps about is lame. But he is certainly talented and if he put his mind into it, he could make an outstanding album if he stripped away all the nonsense.
|
I agree, even though I don't think what he raps about is that lame.
|
The Odd Future Tape Vol. 2 was pretty bad IMO. I find myself only going to Oldie, and even then skipping to 7 minutes in for Earl's verse. There's nothing else on there that makes me want to go back to listen to.
I thought Goblin would hold up better with time due to people getting over the initial shock that it wasn't the best album ever. I thought it was good then and now, although I don't find myself listening to as much Odd Future in general anymore. |
i don't even listen much to anything OFWGKTA these days
|
Too much good music elsewhere to spend time on them.
|
^^the words of a prophet are written on Music Banter walls
|
I'll stick give Goblin a spin, it wasn't long ago everyone was on Tyler's dick, guess hipsters change their minds.
Still a pretty good record. |
i can't get my head around the hate for the OF tape. It was probably one of the more solid pieces to come out of anyone in the crew in awhile, yet it gets knocked.
|
I think people in large have jumped off the OF bandwagon, I agree with you Surell, I can't see much wrong with it either. But I guess such is life.
|
I have never been a fan personally. I like certain OF albums, but even those wouldn't score high marks.
|
I was never on the OF bandwagon in the first place, it was just a matter of checking them out because of the buzz, finding that they're awright, not awesome, then proceed to move on to hear other stuff.
|
X Doubt
Btw how's this record holding up? Personally I haven't listened to it in probably a year, and now I'm guilty for it |
