Tyler the Creator

Today we received the first drop (not counting H.A.M.) from Jay-Z & Kanye’s “Watch the Throne.” I thought the whole album leaked and freaked out for a second, but it’s just this track. Still, this one, which features a sample from the “King of Soul” Otis Redding, is enough to wet your appetite. I have faith they won’t let us down come August 1st.

Kanye West & Jay-Z – Otis

Also to be filed under “been waiting for this,” Pusha T and Tyler, the Creator released the video for ‘Trouble on My Mind.’

BONUS

Black Hippy (Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock) lay down a freestyle for Toca Tuesdays on Sirius XM. Damn!

Black Hippy – Toca Tuesday’s Freestyle

Tyler, the Creator’s ‘Goblin’ debuted this past week and peaked at #2 overall on the iTunes charts, a feat for the 19 year old that would have sounded extremely far-fetched a year ago. Since then, however, the hype for himself and the rest of Odd Future has grown in uncontrollable proportions. The album itself has a very similar sound to Tyler’s other work so far — slower, gritty beats and twisted lyrics that mesh extremely well together. The production is solid; Tyler produced every track on the album, and interestingly didn’t make use of any samples. You gotta have a tremendous amount of respect for artists that produce their own songs — in Tyler’s case it works so well because his beats create a mood for the song to go in on.

His shit will always receive mixed responses from listeners because of the message and content. Some will jump on board with the message and further the hype, while others will find reasons to hate it because they feel the hype is unjustified. In order to look closer and digest it, you gotta take it for what it is. He’s just a 19 year old fucking around with his friends and making music. Fans and the industry in general are always quick to make the next big artist someone to be worshipped and aspire to be. Tyler makes it very clear in the album that he’s ‘not a role model,’ and he has issues. He’s the voice of troubled/rebel youth who take different life paths than what’s been created for and expected of them. ‘Radicals’ and ‘Goblin’ both shed some light on this. ‘Sandwitches,’ which features Hodgy Beats, has anthem-like qualities. ‘She’ features Frank Ocean, whose voice on the hook works as a sick complement to Tyler’s. Other standouts include the viral-sensation ‘Yonkers’ and ‘Fish,’ which embodies the type of song people have come to oppose the group for.

No filler on this album, Tyler goes hard on every beat — his flow is definitely not matched by many. One more comment that came up when I was having a discussion with a friend that doesn’t listen to much hip-hop — the style of songs like Sandwitches has a moshing vibe that I think would appeal to fans of dubstep. (You can catch OFWGKTA at HARD Summer this year). Definitely recommend heading to iTunes or the nearest store and grabbing a copy.

Nigga had the fuckin’ nerve to call me immature. The fuck you think I made Odd Future for? Wear fuckin’ suits and make good decisions? Fuck that.

The CoachellAltDelight series will put focus on the low key Coachella
artists that we at C+A+D feel like you should know about.
Less than a week til we’re all together!

So we’ve probably all heard OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All) by now (if you haven’t it’s time to hit up your realtor and move out from under that rock), but just as you might already listen to Jack Beats, we want to highlight known and unknown Coachella artists to add to the excitement and keep you focused on the prize that’s just eight days away. The young supergroup Odd Future is seemingly taking over the industry while being chased by Jay-Z, Diddy, and others to ink a deal. 20 year old leader of the group Tyler, the Creator has polarized audiences with his unique style and controversial lyrical content. Ask around and you’ll find people swearing by the group’s ability and shows that capitalize on shock-factor as well as those that feel that they’re a group just riding a wave of hype. Their material is not for the faint of heart — to put it plainly, it’s evil. But whatever you think of the music, there’s no denying the following and buzz they’ve built at such a young age. I myself only have it in my headphones occasionally, but I can’t deny the talent and appreciate the artistic ability. Whatever your thoughts are on the group, I recommend checking out the interview below to gain a fresh perspective. Catch ‘em on day one and expect the crowd to get a little wild during the performance.
