Lets Talk About Odd Future

When we talk about OFWGKTA, I can see two or three responses. Anyone over the age of 25, I would expect a “huh?” And then it’s split on the younger than 25 crowd. It’ll either be “fucking rad” or “fuck those guys.” I expect either adoration, hatred or complete ignorance. I don’t think there is any middle ground on this one.

For those not in the know, Odd Future is a crew from Los Angeles. They are a loosely affiliated rap crew (think Wu-Tang or Dipset style) with loads of mixtapes. It’s a young crew too. Ages range from 17 to early 20s. Their style is definitely more Wu-Tang than Dipset though — hard style. And for you older heads, you may be wondering why I’m bothering to bring this up. Well, it turns out these dudes are all hardcore affiliated. I’m not sure how connected to the scene they are, but dudes have been spotted in Free Spirit AHC tees. You can’t go wrong with that. I’m also fairly certain members of this crew are down with the straight edge, at least Tyler The Creator is. Not bad. And for a kid who has over one hundred thousand twitter followers, has appeared on the cover of Billboard magazine and has performed on Jimmy Fallon, I think this is pretty significant.

What are your thoughts? Good, bad, or ignorant. Apparently someone loves them based on the prices of these auctions. A Free Earl Sweatshirt sweatshirt. Get it?
