ayyyyy, i finally made it in a helloyassine video lol
Yooo
Ayo wtf
LMAO
😂😂😂
Just came to pay respects 🖤
Frank ocean didn’t fall off, he actually is a genius because he finessed his label out of millions and he has such a loyal fan base that they listen to everything that he drops & earl sweatshirt has a cult fan base of his own.
Yeah but Frank hasn’t dropped anything for the better part of a decade
@@flowerchild8450 bcuz he doesn’t want to 🤷🏾♂️. If you think frank ocean doesn’t have music in a vault somewhere you’re trippin. He doesn’t have to drop a album every year like other artist bcuz their label with take back their loan if they don’t drop. Frank’s a quality over quantity type of artist.
@@flowerchild8450 frank dropped a couple songs a few years ago
@@antgotguap6951 I mean he probably has unreleased music for sure, but you’re saying he hasn’t fallen off. I’m saying, the time lapsed since any substantial release from him, proves otherwise.
He’s headlining Coachella next year that’s not a fall off lmmfao album or not people wonder about him daily
Back when OF meant Odd Future😔
What does it mean now?
@@salt7853 OnlyFans bruh these heuxs be trippin bruh 😭😭 these heuxs be wylin
i had to read that twice.
To be fair, the full title was OFWGKTA
LMAOOO
A big influence on my teenage years. Donuts and cats covered my notebooks, all my clothes were OF and I Still got some of the limited edition skateboards wrapped in plastic. A dope era that was misunderstood heavy. You just had to be there
that's when they popped off. The couple years before that it was a bunch of satanic themes, upside down crosses and warped edits of people for their album covers. They were eerie and though I like the donut era it wouldn't have been what let them take off
I was there and I still didn't get it. Jokes were never funny and all the music sucked
When Rella came out, I got addicted to them as well.
@@markl5998 I respect your opinion, and we may agree to disagree.
@@hillaryclinton2237 ion kno bro, I seem to remember plenty of donuts and cats being paired up with them upside down crosses and edited pics.
Even when Doris and Wolf came out, it still felt like all the diehard OF fans knew something that the mainstream didn’t yet.
I know both Doris and Wolf weren’t edgy like the mixtapes and albums from before, but it all still felt like one era with both of those albums kinda being the closer. At least that’s how I felt.
But shit brah I probably still got old drawings of upside down crosses and mellowhype t shirts at momz crib somewhere too lol, you should see some of the boards I still got.
They're influence was undeniable at the time. When I was in high school, so many people dressed just like everyone in OF. From the shoes, to the socks, to the hats, and even the shirt and shorts. It was insane. Good times 😭
ayeeeee it’s the canvas man lol
@@blacksheepbeats lmao I forget I'm semi famous sometimes I just really be commenting 😂
I remember when everyone said they were devil worshipers lol
@@louaista it ain’t easy being a niche micro internet celebrity, is it
Must've been an LA thing.. def not in Houston
Odd Future was my whole existence when I was in HS. I thought I was so cool and edgy LMAO (cringe) being a black girl skateboarding, calling myself Syd Da Kyd and hanging with the stoners. What a time to be alive... and I still LOVE Tyler to this day (Just seen him two months ago)
Lol I was never into OF seemed gimmicky imho think they where v good at marketing them selfs i was a bit 2 old 4 ut but if it was in my sk8a boy days I'd prolly been all about it lol I respect how far they came n how big they got I mean TTC is a house hold name 2day n he kept real 2 who he was n from what I know v creative guy xx 1 love
I loved odd future back in early high school. Goblin and Bastard were pretty cool, but wolf is the most nostalgic for me. I also remember first listening to The Internet. Syd is amazing
K,
U like white boys huh
@@SCS-yx5hu not exclusively? LOL
Aye between 2015-2018, several members of OF dropped amazing genre pushing albums
2015: The Internet - Ego Death
2016: Frank Ocean - Blonde
2017: Tyler the Creator - Flower Boy
2018: Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs
Incredible to see in succession, this group was not meant to stay a group. They were all creatives who wanted to do something different with their craft. They managed to supersede OF to become staples & stars in their own right. I feel all of those albums are essential classics for Hip-Hop/R&B/Alternative music in general
I think you meant to put 2018 for earl
@@akumpo2819 you right, my mistake
Ayo don’t sleep on hodgys 2016 Fireplace: TheNottheotherside, I know he’s been M.I.A but dude been maturing and raising his son. Mike G been dropping stuff but he doesn’t get much attention. Domo dropping hot shit too sounding more hungry in his bars ever since his debut 2016: Genesis, 2018: Facade Record EP and 2018 Aren’t you glad you’re you? Homie got nice with it 💯
Even domo genesis put out some good music around that time too.
@@christianreynoso1122 Fireplace: TheNottheotherside wasn't that great tbh
I wouldn’t called Earls career a “death”. I feel like it went exactly how he would’ve wanted it to
yeah he had more of a rebirth in a way, pioneering new sounds and styles w a different set of peers that arent as popular in the mainstream like MIKE, navy blue, billy woods, and rap ferreira. yassine tends to focus on sales, business, and viability of music instead of any artistic and creative value an artist may bring, so im not particularly surprised
@@undeadalph I messes wit navy blue music.
Earl Trash now
Earl makes music for Earl.
@@undeadalph facts earl usually surrounds himself with alchemist navy blue wiki etc. Speaking of wiki I’ve been bumping his Half God album produced by navy blue
The blueprint of 2010’s culture
Man I met T last year at his le FLEUR* event and dude is straight chill asf.. was like talking to one of the homies from the block. OF will always be remembered alongside ASAP MOB. They weren’t the first collectives but they definitely elevated the shit.
Ayee the GOAT 🙏🏾 love your vids bro, didn’t know you watched yasine’!
@@javares8490 this man is lying LOL
@@foeloko8366 I dont see how its a far stretch that dude met Tyler, people meet artists at shows all the time. You'd know that if you got off the computer every once in a while lol
It’s crazy cause in nyc we all were on the a$ap wave but I also loved what OF did for music at that time
Asap Mob, odd future, pro era, slaughterhouse - 2008-2012 was a dope era in hindsight
Syd highkey a legend. Fin was a complete work of art and The Internet albums don't miss. Never realized her and Odd future were separated. This opened my eyes to realize how separate they actually are now.
And Steve Lacy still has bad habits ain't that something
Earl still making fire music dont sleep
Everybody sleep on Earl….
Extremely sad when they died but it gave birth to some great projects and some of the artists finding their style and voice. Miss the OF days but wouldn't change a thing in hindsight. Love to all my 2010-2015 OF heads, and much love to the new fans as well.
I think there's something positive about *the way* they fell apart, honestly. Other than Hodgy's brief fall out with Tyler (which just kind of faded away on its own), there wasn't anything really explosive about it. The members of the group just kind of drifted apart naturally, with many members still being close professionally and on a personal level.
What I like most about Odd Future is that the main artists like Earl, Tyler and Frank actually cared about the art form of Rap/Rnb
These dudes helped me get through some really bad years when I was a teen
they really died when brandun deshay left the group in 2010
Nah I wouldn’t say that. They had atleast a 3 year run after that happened
Been a fan 9 years and nev3r heard of dude so that's gotta be cap
mi corazon... 🥺🥺🥺
I don’t even know who that is 🤣
who even is that
I like to think of The Internet as the spiritual successor of Odd Future. Just a group of people (can't call them kids anymore) making amazing music while also pushing thier own sounds.
i would personally call BROCKHAMPTON the succesor to OF, but they just ended so hey, i wonder who will be the next OF
At least they all split off and did amazing things. Frank with blonde, earl with some rap songs, Tyler with flower boy Igor and cmiygl. Funnily enough their members hit their creative peaks after OF ended.
All of Frank’s albums are amazing, Endless is arguably better than blonde IMO
Why is this a video?
I gotta unfollow this goofy
I still don’t understand why Hodgy wasn’t/couldn’t as big as Earl at least. He had the look, personality, style, and was positioned as Tyler’s right hand man when Earl went away. Was he the most supreme lyricist? No, but his work ethic (he had the most material and features out of the crew) along with him getting all his beats from Left Brain made him have a unique sound, which no one, not even dudes in OF had. It’s very clear that once Earl came home all the promo and attention went towards him which makes sense but I still feel like Hodgy could’ve been more. I mean do I see him being the superstar that Tyler is or the undergoing legend that Earl has shaped into? No, but I defiantly feel like he could’ve occupied that middle of the road lane like Vince Staples does now.
Hodgy said he didnt really like hanging out with them anyway soo idk felt like he was only there to elevate HIS name and then once they all went their separate ways he fell into obscurity..
Hodgy was my favorite but his lyrics is really what held him back imo. Not to say rap isn't nonsense most of the time but Hodgy simply couldn't hold a theme through most Mellowhype tracks and I say this as a huge Mellowhype fan. Where most rap is flaunts of fame, riches, street cred, Hodgy was all over the place on Almost every track. No one I showed "Numbers" to dug it but I did but accepted that it's a themeless album imo
hodgy ain’t even on the lvl of domo u tweakin
@@reallyhimongod he really said that??
WTF you say????
I feel like Domo was and still is, under appreciated. His No Idols album with Alchemist is massively underrated! Probably my favorite member of Odd Future. His work with Prodigy and FBZ is nice too
him and hodgy were very slept on imo.
Earl is slept on too.
@@tack3411 Earl fell off. I respect the artistry of his music, but the music just isn’t very good. The whole intentionally raw aesthetic is cool in theory, but you just can’t bump it like Doris or IDLSIDGO.
@@blank-vj1mc you have got to be joking bro 💀
@@blank-vj1mc he does experimental albums on purpose he don’t care about being #1 only attention whxres do. He’s a cult favorite like mf doom
Man, being 18 (30 now) and reading about them in a magazine in Boneface's tattoo shop is one of my biggest memories from the time. I immediately looked them up when I got home and knew Tyler was gonna be big someday. They will forever be my favorite collective, I'm so happy I found something so special to grow through my 20s with.
Odd future was honestly the only reason I got into rap music. They were doing the same stuff and talking about the same stuff that the metal bands were. They really were a huge part of underground rap as we know it today.
Liteally the reason I listen to everyone today too
Likewise bro they pathed the way for me as well.
Lots of people paved the way for underground rap well b4 odd future my friend. Groups like, Cunninlynguist, Kool Kieth, MF Doom, Soul Sides, Mystic Journeymen, Murs, The Grouch, Masta Ace, Freestyle Fellowship, etc, I could go on & on. Honestly Tyler reminds me so much of kool Kieth.
@@khemchee4685 nobody said they started it. They just helped. Not trying to make a whole ass history lesson. Tbh it all started in the jazz era back in- nah I’m not trying to do that.
@@khemchee4685 the “mother fucker of doom” or whatever was inspired by Earl after he met him in a hotel room
Kool Keith’s song Gangstaz Paradize was all over the radio, he’s not underground
I love what Tyler has done with his music and reinventing himself. However ill always remember him for goblin and wolf and his time with OF. They made my middle school years awesome. In retrospect it was probably a bad influence as I was being obnoxious and a jackass in school but you only live once.
Always wanted Tyler to do a song with filthy Frank, still hoping one day Joji wins some big award and on stage rips off his suit and shrieks revealing the pink morph suit underneath. Dirty dike is my favourite artist, there's not many American rappers with that sense of humour but those two were on it
Man oh man, a heavy inspiration for sure. You definitely just had to be there. I still remember everything going on around Tyler’s release of WOLF. The vlogs, all of dat.
It’s funny cuz now ur the inspiration to me and a lot of youngins in the underground rn
@@ntrovurt5612 Wholesome
hi sy
I miss OFWGKTA heavy man. Used to listen to them with the homies while skating at the NoHo skatepark. Too bad we can never get another group like them with how sensitive people are these days😔
Shit was so fresh when they were poppin off, the mainstream was cringe at the time. Still haven’t seen that type of energy in awhile
tyler , earl and frank are practically the only survivors in terms of main stream
Now dont play with syd like that
and domo
It’s wild how many people called me “crazy” for listening to the guy who “ate a roach.”
It’s crazy how people have done way crazier shit on the internet for clout since then.
I remember in High School, I loved Odd Future so much. Most of my friends thought they were trash and questioned why I was so fond of them. Then literally like a few months later, everyone was so into them. It made me feel like a trend setter even tho it was Odd Future being the influence lol.
Their split is one of the best things to happen to them artistically. I'm proud of what all of them became, especially Earl , Tyler, Frank and the internet .. I don't think they'd have turned into what they did without it
My favorite thing is how big The Internet got. So many friends listen to it not even realizing their roots in OF. They literally make classics
OF gave birth to the best artists of our generation lbh, frank and syd completely revolutionized how rnb should sound. Tyler and Earl are constantly changing the landscape of both mainstream and underground hip hop
Lionel been going hard in that new show The Bear. And Mikey had that whole movie mid90s. It’s crazy how out of one circle so many Mfs became crazy successful. Often with groups of this caliber most of the stories end up sad and I’m not saying everyone has an equal level of success but the amount of people who were able to leverage this exposure into sustained income has to be above average. Shit even hodgy beats bagged Nelly Furtado 😂.
lmaooo he did bag her tho
Don’t forget Taco got a reoccurring role on Dave and Jasper is in the new Jackass crew.
I’ve been living under a fkn rock!!! He got Nelly Furtado!!!!????😮😮😮
@@SeXpert26 lol he’s been w Nelly since like 2015
@@jessewhitmore2201 not even just a role I’m pretty sure he’s good friends with LD
I hope Frank is okay. I can’t imagine losing a brother
He seems to be doing well all things considered, lots of pain of course, but he did a radio show back in November of last year with Wim Hof talking about Wims breathing method and how it can be a blessing in dealing with depression.
This is just the timeline where they made great music and went on to each live out their dreams.
Didn’t get into rap until about 2017-2018 when Odd Future had already started to fall apart, but they did legendary stuff, just wish I got to experience it as it happened
Don't feel bad I'd say that 2016,17,18, and even 19 that period you started listening was one of the best eras of rap.
@@Austinkanerodriguez nah, 2011 was one of the best years for rap of all time. Every legendary new era artist released career pushing work that year. Ttc, kdot, miller, Kudi. 2011 was the best period
@@socaliber2717 Some of those artists had much better stuff later
Same
@@yestho7743 but all of their groundbreaking albums came out that year. Schoolboy Q, Danny brown, shade 45 era, jet life, young money, pro era, earl sweatshirt, ab soul, jay electronica, the game, pusha t, Vince staples, Cacy veggies, etc, most modern age great rapper released groundbreaking work in 2011. 2011 was one of the greatest years for music and I will forever stand on that statement
Great times OF can never be duplicated
Shoutout to Hodgy Left Brain
Mellowhype and Domo Genesis
Which they got the respect they deserved
Always thought and still think Hodgy was one of the underrated ones out of OF.
Always said the same thing and I still think that as well
It’s crazy how he just disappeared tho.
yes!
Everything went bad when he started hating on Tyler
Mike G was the most underrated
I’ll never forget my high school years back in the day bumping OF smoking blunts with my friends on NYC rooftops.
Wait why you cross out SYD. syd still drops amazing rnb albums and the internet still drops great albums and they do good on their tours
Classics!!! Syd got at least one
foreal ego death was 10/10
no diss to hy but this seems like he read the wiki on a video. i don’t think he is a big fan of OF but respects their legacy. (another note is how he pronounced nakel and domo)
Odd Future defined a lot of the aesthetic of the 2010’s mainstream culture, but their influence is still felt today. I don’t even listen to them, but I acknowledge that Tyler the Creator is an amazing artist.
The nostalgia I remember bumpin couch late night on my skate board. Can’t believe how fast time flies.
Tyler was the only one with an "internet" personality.
Odd future should be a perfect example for all up and coming artist that talent will only get you so far. I believe Tyler is only as big as he is today because of his personality throughout, and the changes he made in response of it.
The others just wanted to do their thing, and they may also be successful in their own terms.. but Tyler is obviously on a different level now.
I think Tyler is where he is today, because of his work ethics and professionalism. I saw a show of him yesterday and it was the best most beautiful show I ever saw. But I agree his personality plays a big part to his succes.
Lol Frank has been bigger than Tyler for years while literally doing no interviews, no social media, hiding in the shadows. Tyler's only more relevant now since Frank hasn't dropped in 6 years and he still only recently overtook him lmao. Tyler only has 5 mil more monthly listeners with 3 albums out since Frank dropped music. Like what are we talking about here?
If he put out an album tomorrow, people will be flocking back to the ocean don't get it twisted. The personality is good but great music is great music.
man, i remember being so amused seeing them at the VMA’s when i was like 12 or 13, i instantly searched tyler the creator up on youtube. i was so obsessed with everything about odd future and wanted to know more. now i’m 22 & he’s still my favorite rapper to this day. i really found a friend in his music 🙏🏽 i feel so fortunate that i was able to have grown up in this era.
OF is legendary. They got me into hip hop and skateboarding. Really loved what they’re doing and back then it was the perfect mix of members. So sad that only three of them are still respected
You know, it's gonna be a classic video
God I remember in 11th grade when Odd Future started getting popular and man when they took off it was a RIDE. I actually used to talk to brandun every once in a while because i was a big fan of his music back 2010 when he dropped Vol 3. I remember him talking about tyler because he would bring up they had beef but i didn't know who he was until I ran across Frank Ocean on LiveMixtapes (does that site still exist?) . Anyway, OF concerts were crazy fun and he still keeps the same energy now in his CMIYGL Tour but the production is was better.
Love to see you talk about them! They were solid during their time and personally I still listen to Syd (she just dropped an album), old Hodgy& Leftbrain (mellowhigh/mellowhype), Earl, and Domo Genesis. Domo I feel stayed the most consistent musically as far as the part of the crew that didnt get much shine. Much love!
One thing about me being an Earl fan ik that his time in Samoa really changed him cause he said that the time there seeing them black kids really made him think about that dark shit he was saying differently cause he met people who really been through that I think that really changed his whole message fr
Earls bars go hard asf. Most of them will pass over your head.
Most people don’t like feet of clay or sick but I think they’re masterpieces. They’re not ment to be enjoyed by the masses because he’s coming at you with big brained bars and people don’t like that.
🤣🤣
Earl got a big brain
Yeah you white 😂
@@popsmcgee4153 you inadvertently called all niggas simple with that one dumbass comment, kiddo.
It’s more that feet of clay and sick are very experimental and not that accessible compared to his older music. Also he’s more into poetry style of rap now
I saw odd future back in June 2015 at the old national centre in Indy called the Egyptian room. I remember the mens bathroom smelling like weed, the chaotic mosh pit, having a black girl grind up against me thinking I was someone else, and buying a purple OF hat with a green brim also keeping the original concert ticket. Odd Future never fully died cause the influence in the music industry is still there and felt to this day. If you were around bumping to them in the early and mid 2010s in high school it was a special kind of vibe.
Your knowledge of the Casey veggies connection and the brandun deshay connection is quite impressive .
I would highly recommend everyone check out their respective catalogs of music . Also recommend hodgy but his stuff is kinda all over the place in terms of quality
facts.
I’ll never forget that video of odd future just hanging out in La at Burger King, the mall, Tyler blasting waka flocka in that suv…what a time man…
Such a big part of my life at the time! Glad you mentioned the forum, it really shaped my music taste back then with the exchange of information with some great people. Shout out to anyone in the comments who was part of it
this one hurts I remember the gold ole ofwgkta days I still have all the of vans 🤣
i still wear my OF donut vans (if the outfit calls for it) 🤣🤘
Sad to see them go, but great that a lot of them found some success. Groups tend to split and only one guy has a big break.
Edit: Also I feel they are heavily overlooked when it comes to hip hop influence.
I've been listening to hella OF lately. Just reminiscing on stuff I missed out on. They definitely had a big impact back then. RIP OF. 😥❤
It feels just like yesterday… warm summer nights, skating with the homies, blasting Oldie, taking turns reciting the verses, not a care in the world… man I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything❤
Odd Future was ahead of their time good content
It’s crazy. My entire high school run was covered by OF at its peak. 2010-2014. Great times. I miss them.
Another great video Yassine. You always come through. I'm glad you made this. OF was the best thing to happen to a lot of us as teenagers.
So glad you talked about Earl for as long as you did. He easily had the biggest impact on me out of anyone in OF, i absolutely love the man and still listen to him this day. Unfortunately i cannot say the same about many other OF members.
Odd future was definitely influential throughout the 2009- and the 10s from the clothing to the brand itself definitely made they mark but like a lot waves things die down and reach their peak sometimes with groups
Under the influence by Domo was very hard back in the day
Odd future in highschool will be a time ill never forget, after i got out i would go to Flog Gnaw every year till it just stopped, theyll never be forgotten and still effect the present day fashion and musical inspiration
i love when people take their times to study artists honestly amazing
"Syd stfu, here's the number to my therapist. Tell him all your problems he's fucking awesome at listening" 17:03
OFWGKTA Branding is something else yo. That team is legendary.
Been a fan since 2012. It was so fun to watch them all grow. I saw Tyler three months ago I was shocked
This was kind of nostalgic to watch. Although OF is no more, I still keep up with each individual’s music as much as I can. Definitely was sad when they announced their departure, but they all elevated. Still hoping for one more OF Tape 🙏🏾
No cap when they first popped out they freaked me out but they were also amazingly intriguing. Such an era. I have to respect Tyler the Creator for bringing us this amazing group. I love that everyone was able to be successful in their own right and nobody got put out of success
Weird to call it a “death”… it just ran its course. As far as groups go, they had a good run. Tyler seems to have always been in a tough spot, but I think he handled all his relationships well. Specifically, I loved seeing how he supported Frank Ocean through him coming out and with him being MIA. Every group has a “Beyoncé”, but to have 3 Beyoncés simultaneously was pretty dope - it gave everyone else a bigger wave to ride. Definitely an era that earned a slot in the hip hop textbooks.
The amount of talent and success in the group as a whole was ridiculous.
Although, the group is no more those 7 letters are long. I sure do miss them. 🙏🏾
they were the reason why i gave a shot a music they influenced me so much in the early to mid 2010's
Yassine I got a question.
using Odd Future as a "case study" what would be your overall takeaway about them and your views on collectives overall?
Do you think they're usually doomed from the start?
Do you think that managers (like Chris Clancy) pick a favorite member knowing that he has the most market value and probability of being a star? (In this case: Tyler). Which results in more time & resources being put into him?
Just curious about your thoughts.
Good question, would likely have to make it into an entire video. But unless the group is legitimate blood family, and even then…. I think they’re destined to split up.
I don’t think a bunch of personalities and people that talented and unique are ever gonna work together too long just for the simple fact that they are all geniuses and artist in different ways with different visions and different goals. Everyone has to walk their own path
The Lox are the only exception to the rule and I’m sure even they went through a ton of shit
@@darnelldarden9429 And Heiroglyphics...30 plus years now ..

My first concert was an OF concert. I was like 12 lol so many fun memories. Their music helped me through so much.
Seen OF at Slane Castle in Ireland in 2012. 80,000 people in a field. Eminem Yelawolf Slaughterhouse Plan B and Odd Future were performing. Was dope af Odd future were wild throwing sex dolls in the crowd. They had a great run from 2008-2012 with Pro Era, Asap Mob and Slaughterhouse for a bit it was a dope time for groups in hip hop.
Odd Future literally changed all of hip hop
Do u have a video explaining why? I would love to see it
hy got us with da heat content this summer , Salute bro . 🕵🏾♂️
I’ll never forget meeting Tyler the creator randomly at an ihop in Hollywood while he was with Justin Bieber. He was super friendly and goofy. Really sweet guy.
this odd. I been revisiting odd future and what a time. I still have 3 OF shirts but my favorite is my Mellowhype b/w shirt with Hodgy sitting on a bench and a mini left brain next to him. Insane how modern Tyler fans would be repulsed by his older tracks

Im still a big Earl fan. I peed on myself when he walked on stage on the Some Rap Songs tour. 🤩✌🏼🤤

OF was my childhood man..
I‘m just out of my teens but the Ages 11-16 i was just Dedicated to OF.
the golden days of OF was when I was in 10th grade, their music saved me at a dark time frfr
First time I heard of anything relating to OF was when Tyler won the 2011 VMA. I heard Yonkers drop and I was like yo this shit lit.
I don't see how Odd Future's death was "sad". The majority of them all went on to do bigger and better things. Odd Future was just a stepping stone for them. The members were so stylistically different that a split was inevitable. It was a great way for all of them to get notoriety and build a fanbase. They didn't need Odd Future anymore and had grown out of it.
Earl Sweatshirt made an album this year in January, called SICK! Wasn't mentioned in the video, check it out :)
the beauty is the era is captured in their music. as someone who has been around since the beginning i can say it is definitely sad, but not surprising they drifted apart. just give it a decade and hopefully we'll get a dope OF reunion album.
can we also talk about how tyler literally brought back the idea of artists having merch? he’s also the first artists i’ve seen that has their own festival.
No he did not. Punk, metal, Post-Hardcore etc artists always had merch. It was a whole thing at Warped Tour to go to the merch tables. Tyler did a lot of things for music but that wasn’t it.
Man I remember they had a great comedy show on adult swim called liquor squad man they were funny those were the glory days
loiter squad bro
Loiter
Liquor squad is crazy 😂😂
@@digiwest2572 yeah man I missed spelled it I haven’t watched the show in years
Lol
I was only 13 when I discovered OF. I was totally floored. I'll keep it a buck tho, I had been through a lot by this point (including SA) and I adored Tyler and OF's music because I was an angry, hurt little edgelord who wanted to rip shit up. I never read Tyler's lyrics as problematic or malicious, because I held deep resentment towards what my little brain understood as "the mainstream". I admired him for being such a goon while being so visible, and I also leaned into my darker inclinations in my own art. With that being said, the timeline of my growth as a person weirdly aligns with T's growth as an artist, and I've only fallen in love with his art more and more as time passes by. I don't listen to old Tyler or OF anymore, but that time of my life will always have such a soft spot in my heart and I will always be grateful for what their work gave me at that time.
Man watch this just makes me happy that I got to see Frank Ocean perform in DC. And I got to see Earl and Tyler perform together in Philly. Been to plenty of OF shows too sad they haven't had the greatest relationship since breaking up.
OF was only a vehicle that was meant to help Tyler become a superstar. He wasn't capable of doing it by himself.
The kind of antics he pulled are super appealing when done by a collective than an individual. Kinda like how a choreography always looks better with backup dancers than without, in many cases.
He was always the one. And his rise is the true testament to the fact that in many groups, there's usually one star, and you can't make everyone else (if you're the star) be like you no matter what you do. I think Snoop told A$AP Rocky that in the conversation/interview, when he talked about the "closing the gap" idea.
Honestly frank shouldn’t have a X this dude just be taking his time dropping stuff
regardless of people thinking theyre still doing well outside of tyler and frank theyll never be what they were at the peak and you kinda miss that. i think its hard knowing that 1 person is a star vs seeing then ascend above the core. sometimes as an individual you might feel you put in just as much work or just as talented. i was a huge hodgey fan. liked mike g. they cant carry their own and be tylers or earls and i think rely'd on the collective to help them boost their individual things. but based on the comments glad theyre all still doing well
My high school memories screaming rn. OF brewed the craziest fan base at all different angles. To think OF was so edgy to joke around with sex/R@pe, devilish artwork, etc. they broke the fourth wall and maintained tbh. Anwar and other members are in fashion, while other dabble in TV and stretched their music even more. Crazy man
