Completely missing the point of what? Him saying horribly offensive things for the sake of theatrics and the soulless acquisition of fame then apologizing for them in disgustingly patronizing ways without even a hint of intelligence?
I don't give a flying f*ck about how good he is, if he's good I'll listen to him and enjoy his music at some point. On that note: I love RA the Rugged Man's music, but I despise the man himself because he's an utterly disgusting example of humanity in it's utmost form, and RA would rip any member of OFWGKTA a new asshole lyrically thrice over.

I didn't think casually discussing (discussing in this context meaning rapping about) rape, homophobia and other such disgusting things in a light sense was considered fun.
Then again, here I am listening to JMT/AOTP whilst making this post making my point rather irrelevant.
Tyler is still regardless a disgusting human being.
Then again, I'm fresh out of a massive EDM festival, meaning I find music with negative connotations (to the degree he goes to) rather sickening and Tyler has been pressing my nerves for awhile now.

I'll be honest, I don't really like his lyrics either, sometimes he does sound homophobic (I'm not saying he is). But I really like his beats and I like how they sound with his voice. That's why I listen to him.
It's just music, if you don't like it then okay, if you do then great. They are a tight group of friends that just make music and are now living their dream, it is not meant to be taken seriously. Tyler's never going to do anything he's said, same with the rest of the group? (Not entirely sure how you can be negative towards Tyler when listening to JMT King haha, I can quote plenty of homophobic and "anti christian/catholic" lines from Paz). Syd tha Kid is a lesbian and she's a huge part of the gang. He's never apologized for what he says, I take the "disclaimer" on Radicals as a homage to Eminem's Public Service Announcements, seeing as Tyler is a massive Eminem fan. I do hate the majority of the fans though, I listen to a hell of a lot of their music but I don't suddenly start buying supreme and trying to be like them.
If you hate him/his music at least watch this, explains a lot:
I have couple of idiotic friends who go about yelling "Golf Wang!" "Swag!" and even spray painting 'golf wang' with 666 around it. Quite f*cking stupid, considering they only listen to Tyler and such, but whatever. I am a fan of Earl, dude can rap and I cannot wait for him to get back into music, but it is unfortunate hearing people say 'Free' Earl' when they have no f*cking clue of whats going on.
RA Rugged is a excellent rapper, King, but he has been in the game a while. It is scary listening to Tyler and thinking the dude is only 20 years old. Eminem was doing this sh*t when he was, what, 25-26? He has a lot of potential in his tank, and I am sure he will take a different approach to his music, atleast lyrically in the future. These guys are the f*cking sh*t, especially MellowHype.
you think Paz is walking around punching faggots until there nose bleed heavy? Or IT sending a dead fetus to his ex-girlfriend on valentines day? doubtful. It is music, releasing anger, putting a nice catchy punchline in the verse.
"They all swore that I was all f*ckin' nuts like a gay porn"
Tyler is a f*cking genius with his wordplay.

"I'm not homophobic. I just think faggot hits and hurts people," Tyler told NME Magazine. "It hits. And 'gay' just means you're stupid. I don't know, we don't think about it, we're just kids. We don't think about that sh*t. But I don't hate gay people. I don't want anyone to think I'm homophobic."
And hell yeah, that interview is a really good one, Funky.

Hold on let me put on my reading glasses......nope your posts are still garbage.
Remember when tyler said "i'm not homophobic.... faggot"? HAHA YOU MISSED THE POINT. HAHAHA
I'd attempt to actually turn this into an intelligent conversation, but it's apparent all you'd do is post stupid quotes and insult me so I won't bother.
Another reason to dislike OFWGKTA, the fans, thanks for that.
Tyler is pretty average anyway. Frank Ocean is the only one from that group that I really like.

Yeah, that makes a ton of f*cking sense.
From what I'm getting, he's saying he's using the word "faggot" to get a reaction. He knows he could use words like "ni**er" and "c*nt" (and does often) but the word "faggot" seems to have a lot of impact. It leaves an impression on the impressionable, and while the attention that comes from it may be negative, it's still attention. We've all been at that age where we've called something "gay" and not meant anything homophobic about it. I've called my toaster gay when it broke, and I've called a bus gay when it didn't turn up. Everyone that worked in the bank were gays. Granted, he's 20, but it's working for him. I ain't saying it's right, but he's certainly making a mark.

I love what he says right there about progession as an artist. Everyone expects artists to stay the same. The most recent examples I can think of right off the top of my head for the sake of this is Eminem and Linkin Park . Recovery/A Thousand Suns are nothing like their other material but they've progressed with thier age, interests and different mentalities in music, and alot of fans of both don't understand that. So i've just gained a new respect for Tyler that he pinpoints his awareness that the material he's making now and making him popular won't be what, hopefully, carries on that trend for him in 2 years from now. Not a lot of artists admit to changing, so artists that say it out loud can have my money. (assuming it's still good)

I agree. It's f*cking annoying hearing people scream "GOLF WANG!" "SWAG" "F*CK STEVE HARVEY!". I wouldn't say it unless I knew Odd Future in some kind of way.

In my opinion, his character doesn't really tell how his music is like. Like he says, he doesn't give a sh*t. I didn't necessarily have a ton of respect for him at first, but wow, he's really the independent type. His stuff goes on MTV, and like he says - people think that's selling out, and in reality, that's what most artists wanna do today. They wanna become famous for their mediocre beats, and incompetent lyrics. Nothing but no hard work and stress put into it. But then we see Tyler, who states the logic that he worked hard for it, while many mainstream artists today don't put feeling and hard work into their songs (take Wayne for example). Seeing someone actually work hard and try to achieve a goal, and not care about what others think, earns my respect hands down.
Now about the music at hand, I'm just gonna say most of their songs consists of a nice beat, with a decent rhythm to it. As for the lyrics, I can't really say much about them. I'm a not big fan of them, but in my opinion, they shouldn't really suffice.
Have any of you guys seen them live? I highly recommend it. I did two times and it's f*cking insane. Everyone was crowdsurfing, whole crowd got on stage during the last song, Radicals. Got to speak to Tyler and Hodgy, they're really cool and friendly.

can you explain that part? as in what way he's disgusting etc. it's not that I'm challenging your intelligence or anything, but after listening to Uncommon Valour, I've been getting into RA more and more.
OF are great in my opinion, mainly for the impact they've made, like Yonkers, I remember hearing that I think at the beginning of the year (?) and thinking it was awesome because it was different, it had the "challenge everything" mentality. when I listened to more than whats on the surface, I realized they were just in it for the fun really, hell yeah they're gonna make money out of it, at least Tyler has been honest about it, even if he meant it with two sides to that coin. it's like the stark contrast from them and people such as Atmosphere, Sage Francis and E&A. Slug remains pretty grounded despite being famous, and I respect that a lot, and I just think it's cool to see the like of Odd Future swaggering into the metaphorically house party that is music, calling the host and c*nt, saying his bitch is ugly and then trashing the place then looting it after.

I really really really like that metaphor.
