So today the Internet released their latest single off their upcoming album "Feel Good," due out in December. "Give It Time," like their rest of their music, is on the ultra-chill tip- check it out below.
If you're on the west coast check them out in concert next week. Visit purplenakedladies.com to check out more of their music.
A cut of their "The OF Tape, Vol. 2," performed by Tyler, the Creator and Domo Genesis. It seems like almost everyone was in the video/short film though. A little creepy, slightly funny, definitely an OF video.
“Check the score, we f*ckin’ winnin’. Check the list, we in the building’. Stupid swag,
Paris Hilton.”
They may just be on to something.
Odd Future released their second album where everyone from
the group is featured earlier this week.
The OF Tape, Vol. 2 showcases everybody’s style over their fire beats. Tyler really came a long way from “Hot Ass
Beat, Clap.” As much as I love samples,
I can appreciate that Odd Future make most of their beats. These guys (and Syd) are truly hit-makers and
a force to be reckoned with. Some people
may like that this crew has decided not to be as out there and “psychotic” this
time around, gaining them a lot more attention.
Because, you know, not everyone has people talking to them in their
heads or wants to burn their school down.
Fortunately for their fans, they haven’t lost their crazy and hilarious charm
they’re Youtube famous for, giving us outrageous tracks like their single “Rella”,“We
Got B*tches,” and “Hi,” featuring a brief description of each member of OF
featuring L-Boy.
Frank Ocean and The Internet give us some chill, R&B
tracks on this album. Ocean delivers a
serenade on “White,” which I’m hoping is a preview to his album coming out this
spring. Matt and Syd give us the sexy,
sultry track “Ya Know,” in which love prevails when it comes to the person they
want to be with.
On their song “Oldie,” nine of the members in the group (including
Earl) spit a few bars over the ten minute, 36 second track. With this track you can’t deny the talent and
skills these rappers offer. Tyler, the
Creator gives us part 2 to his infectious “Analog,” with Frank Ocean and Syd
tha Kyd hopping on it this time around.
While enjoying Hodgy Beats and Frank on “Snow White,” I had to check my
headphones during the end- but of course it was OF messin’ with us, adding unnecessary
static as the song faded out. The other songs on this 18 album track show just
how much this crew has improved over a short period of time (another highlight
is “P”). They’ve already proven themselves
to millions, but if you’re not one of them, cop the album and hear OF- they
have officially taken over.
Watch Oldie and watch Earl's first interview below:
Hodgy Beats recently released his "Untitled EP" mixtape and it's surprisingly dope as hell.
His mixtapes with Left Brain as "MellowHype" were decent, however this showed me that this guy is growing up and ready to really deliver. Even on the shorter songs like "If Heaven is a Ghetto" & "Ave" Hodgy went in.
If you know me then you know I'm a sucker for good samples used properly. I heard "Higashi LovesYou" where Hodgy used Patti Labelle's "Somebody Loves You Baby" and decided that this is one of those mixtapes I could sit back and vibe to for a while. The members of Odd Future are good for providing hot bars over some nice samples, (Domo Genesis especially) so I wasn't completely surprised. Hodgy sounds nice on all the tracks, but certain ones like "Bullshittin" over Juicy J's beat and "In A Dream" showed me he's not just the goofball I thought he was (watch the "Rella" video + the trailer for Loiter Squad and you'll see why this was said).
If you know OFWGKTA then you know Earl. You also know his mom put him in Samoa's Coral Reef Academy boarding school for a little while ;(
But he's out now, back in LA and putting out music. He released "Home" last night after he put a video out saying if we wanted to hear the whole song he had to get over 50,000 followers on Twitter.
Syd tha Kid and Matt Martians, two producers of Odd Future have come together to form The Internet.
And I loveeeeeeeee them.
My interest in Syd came about when I heard Flashlight. Seriously, THE MOST PLAYED SONG ON MY ITUNES. Who thought behind her boyish features there was such an angelic voice?
Not I. But I'm sure as hell happy there was.
Flashlight - Syd tha Kid
Their video concepts are dope, though if you are already a fan of OFWGKTA you know that all of their videos are pretty creative (thinking about She x Tyler, the Creator & Frank Ocean as I type this). The two I've seen so far involve Syd and her girlfriend, and after watching them I see how "Cocaine" (though released first) follows the story for their new video "Fastlane."
Fastlane - The Internet
Cocaine - The Internet
And now they have an album entitled Purple Naked Ladies, which- if I do say so myself (from what I've heard)- is pretty cool. Gotta give it a few more listens, but so far so good. The digital version became available Dec. 20th, with the physical deluxe album coming out on the 31st of this month. Give it a listen. Though I don't rep Odd Future, I can't deny the talented people in their group, especially The Internet.
So who has two thumbs and gives them up to The Internet?
This may just be the best lineup Coachella has ever had (well, in my eyes).
As STOKED as I am, this will be another year I will not be in attendance- being that I live on the other side of the country and cannot afford the the ticket price ($269). Maybe next year...
But I'll be strong and move on, for I as well as many others will be there in spirit.
But let's talk about this lineup.
KENDRICK LAMAR. THE WEEKND. FLORENCE & THE MACHINE. FRANK OCEAN. LA ROUX. SANTIGOLD. A$AP ROCKY. DRE. SNOOP. AZEALIA BANKS. CHILDISH GAMBINO. WOLFGANG...Plus the countless other musicians I have yet to (but soon will) hear.
COACHELLA IS GONNA BE A MAD HOUSE, MARK MY WORDS.
To all who will be in attendance, take pictures, sing along until you can't anymore, and have one hell of a good time...
...I'll be wishing on the stars for a roundtrip ticket to Cali in the meantime...
