Check It: Odd Future

A few members of Odd Future including Left Brain, Syd, Tyler the Creator and Hodgy Beats.

      It's hard to describe Odd Future, but we'll start off with the full name of this California hip hop collective: Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All or quite simply OFWGKTA. They began only a few years ago and since then have created they're own brand of hip hop. They have been labeled as a somewhat horrific form of music by many critics, but often deny it.
      This group was started by Tyler, the Creator. He soon made major additions to the group such as Earl Sweatshirt (although Earl is currently in a correctional school in Samoa), Syd the Kid, Hodgy Beats, Left Brain and Frank Ocean though it is said that there are hundreds of members in the "Wolf Gang". Within the group there are several divisions such as EarlWolf (Earl and Tyler), Mellowhype (Left Brain and Hodgy), and a few others. Though they are a group, they all record their own stuff. Tyler has his own songs, Earl has his own, and etc. However, they do often feature each other in their songs frequently.
       The content of some of the members' music is often very horrific and often heavy. Some allude to rape, murder, and disrespecting authority/society.  In several interviews Tyler is asked about why his songs are so violent and he gives a good answer: movies do it. Movies contain incredible violence frequently and it's often much worse than things musicians write so why can't he make songs that contain lyrical content that mirrors some actions in movies?
      Odd Future is somewhat Indie at the moment, but with Tyler up for a VMA that could change very soon.. I see big or should I say odd things in the future for this Wolf Gang. Make sure you check them out and let us know what you think! In the meantime, here's a song by one of their member's Earl Sweatshirt, but beware, this song is an example of their heavy music:
