So I've now discovered Odd Futures thanks to this thread which is sweet. I had heard of Tyler the Creator before but hadn't realised he was any good or somehow thought it was more mainstream or something Idk hehe.
Really liking Earl Sweatshirt.
Any chance someone could do me a wee Odd Futures primer if they get a chance? A humble ta in advance.

An OF primer? Yeah, that could easily be arranged. Do you want a playlist, or just a guide (where to start, and where to go from there...)?
Louder, NR and I could all do this for you pretty fucking easily.
If you have either a reliable torrent site or $$ to spend on iTunes, I would recommend the following trajectory:
Start with OF's
Radical from 2010. No, it's not their first release, but if we're going for efficiency here, skip
The Odd Future Tape vol.1, and dog right the fuck into this.
If you like it, immediately get 2011's
12 Odd Future Songs, as well as Tyler, the Creator's debut
Bastard, Earl Sweatshirt's first mixtape titled
EARL, Frank Ocean's EXCELLENT early mixtape
Nostalgia.Ultra and the breakthrough album
BlackenedWhite by MellowHype (OF-spin off project by members Hodgy Beats and Left Brain; prod. Left Brain, and one of the best albums in the history of the group, (though this fact is often overlooked or
simply ignored)
If you like what you hear, congrats you're probably a fan. Download Tyler's Goblin, the OF tapes (1 and 2), Domo Genesis's badass mixtapes and whatever else you can get your hands on. Steer clear of
Wolf, because I think I've come to the conclusion that it sucks.
THE BEST ODD FUTURE STUDIO ALBUMS ARE: Frank Ocean's
ChannelORANGE and Earl's
Doris. That's the god's honest truth. I'm tempted to say Nostalgia.Ultra instead of Doris, but I don't want to sound like a twat. Seriously though, Frank Ocean is the best and most interesting, most mature, classiest, most incentive creative voice in the group, and broths doesn't even really rap. Like, ever.
Happy hunting.
