5.0 out of 5 stars Sincerity or Satire? Odd Future continues its reign of uncontested rap Carnivalesque March 21, 2012

By C. Dillard

Format:Audio CD

Those unable to see the brilliance of Odd Future are simply consumers - they have no eye for criticism, social commentary, or affect. Simultaneously celebratory and critical of black culture, hip-hop, and the not-so implicit materialism, misogyny, and misanthropy that accompanies the rampant, unchecked masculinity which defines OF's "swag" (of course, their usage is meant to be ironic), simply listen to a track like "We Got B*****," more or less a sequel to "B**** S*** D***," and it's easy to see the tongue-in-cheek terrain being circumnavigated. The grotesqueries involved extend from the blaring hook, outlandish lyrics ("Count money, get my hair-braided by your b****") and OF's now expected rambunctious approach to cadence and commentary. Refraining from an approach that preaches difference (or simply preaches, think Immortal Technique), OF is more interested in using the very tools that define hip-hop in order to subvert it. Playful, lyrically provocative, referentially eclectic, and musically tight (OF's varied beats and tones cannot be discounted, in the least, this is still quality hip-hop in the conventional sense), as Hodgy says in "Rella," "Hop on the bandwagon, kid, I'm about to show you some tragic s***."

5.0 out of 5 stars Angry March 20, 2012

By Consumer-Reporter

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

If you think anger is a negative emotion than Odd Future is not for you.

Let's face it, there is plenty to be mad about these days, thank God there are still artists willing to express this global feeling of angst and disappointment. This album is solid hip-hop, and it really feels like Wu-Tang all over again, but these guys are totally their own act. I am honored to be young enough to appreciate this group, Odd Future is definitely for the children.

To all the power-hungry governments, corrupt empires, various mind-controlling -isms, greedy corporations, mainstream media outlets, and any other conformist organizations: You made us into outcasts when we refused your ways, but your ways didn't work...they were flawed. You led the world astray and you pissed us off. **** you.

Golf Wang, snitches!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it. March 21, 2012

By Bromandawgdude

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

A great album. Between the touring and the TV show, there hasn't been a lot of music released from Odd Future in awhile. This CD helps show how much they've improved. The inclusion of a new verse from Earl Sweatshirt is reason enough to purchase this.
