[daphneYOUfindME]

i personally think that Ali is waay > than, say, Hodgy's Dena Tape and even yellowhite.

i feel you on that

[madapaka]

did anyone get to check them out at sxsw?

[16steps]

this thread needs to be renamed OFWGKTA saved my life

[redX]

been listeing to Bastard, EARL, Radical and the fucking tape non stop lately.... can't get enough, so much fun

[dunkin deeznuts]

NYTimes x OFWGKTA x SXSW

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/21/arts/music/south-by-southwest-music-festival-austin-tex.html

looks like they played fro 12 minutes at SXSW and walked off....

[sawn-off chef]

Yo Mike G is hands down my favorite member, dude is lyrically insane and every track he goes in on ends up being amazing.

"Officer in the trunk with 6 other cops."

Faggot heard that you were queer, so why would you fuck with wolves that will lay you on the ground like your rap career. So don't start won't be nothing, I'm fucking radical been fuckin awesome.

[minou]

yo scott, every day i play that track on repeat for some time without fail. can't get sick of it.

[DüM]

listened to Ali and I still like Hodgy better. Mike G has a weird flow on a lot of tracks. It's pretty good though. that sketch is almost funny.

[cheapmuthafukr]

yep... i ignored them because of hypebeast, figuring that if it was some kid from hypebeast they had to suck. i was wrong... real hip hop

[sawn-off chef]

sarcasm or are you serious?

[cheapmuthafukr]

totally fucking serious. im digging these dudes more than any hip hop i can remember in the past 10 years... maybe more.

[cheapmuthafukr]

its got the fucking energy and urgency of old school punk or wu tang... and

holy shit... im watching some crachhead bitch passing out and being manhandeled by some dude... they just came out of the woods and hes slapping her and piicing her up and shit and... ok... shes walking again...

the romantic sensabilitys of the finest south florida rap from the late 80s/early 90s. OFWGKTA is fucking amazing.

[DüM]

minus the punk shit (which I really like)

I think we were just itching for a good rap crew. No one had taken over since the Dips imo.

[cheapmuthafukr]

im not saying they are punk, just that the energy that the music has reminds me of that. its just kids saying "fuck your rules, were gonna do this OUR way, and if you dont like it fuck you"

[DüM]

yeah, I wasn't really commenting on your post. I get what you mean. Tyler himself said he doesn't really listen to punk shit he just likes the energy.

[sawn-off chef]

Exactly, I was discussing this with a friend that they're more of a Punk or hardcore band to me than anything else, solely based on lyrical content and show presence combined with their attitude itself. They're the most refreshing breath of fresh air to music in a while. I truly do see them as the next good rap crew, since dipset at least.

yeah, totally serious.

last hip hop group that i got the same feeling from was wu in 93 or 94 when i heard 36 chambers.

[Guest naknakBeast]

putting them on the same level of wu tang is crazy, name wise yes but, music level and skills wise . no way jose.

[koven]

Im a backpacker/hip hop elitist and I fuck with OF. I feel the same way, they bring an excitement I havent felt in a while. That jimmy fallon performance gave me chills.

[daphneYOUfindME]

people tend to forget these kids are still... kids. wasn't rza in his early 20s when wu-tang started up?

[DüM]

yeah, totally serious.

there's already some motherfucker writing some semi-scholarly shit on ofwgkta.

to everyone saying this is the new punk: "I get it: these kids are punk as fuck. Even so, I wonder if we can’t do a little better than try to force something so bizarre, so original and so new into that same tired frame of reference"

[LiberationFrequency]

I love Nardwuar.
