Six Miles High with Hodgy Beats, Mellowhype, & Juicy J

Tosten Burks has his seatbelt safely fastened. As the New Year settles in, a new weed anthem surfaces. To whom else would we entrust the responsibility other than the venerable Juicy J? In the midst of a mid-30s career resurgence – the fountain of youth is apparently in Lex Luger’s basement – Juicy jumps on… Continue reading »

Sach O: Odd Future – Bitch Suck Dick

Oh you mad bitch cuz Sach O‘s laying on the couch. I’ve been trying to figure out what to write about this video for a few days now but frankly, all analysis is useless. It’s a video for a song called “Bitch Suck Dick”: you already know if you’ll like this or not. For what… Continue reading »

The Reckless Machine: Odd Future’s Expansion Team

Tosten Burks only used the word “swag” once in the writing of this article. Everyone knows the story by now: faux-rebellious suburban skate punks drop staggering amounts of staggeringly crude haunted house rap onto message boards and quickly skyrocket to the top of the Internet on the backs of indignant teens and intellectual Caucasians. It’s… Continue reading »

Sach O: Domo Genesis – More Clouds

Sach O is actually trying to cut down on weed. For real. As much as I ride for Goblin, I sincerely hope Tyler’ success doesn’t box in the rest of Odd Future. While the bastard’s catharsis made headlines, the Golf Wang’s greatest appeal for me has always been the resolutely underground streak running through their… Continue reading »

Sach O: Pusha-T & Tyler, The Creator – Trouble on My Mind

Sach O is a helluva drug. As the resident Odd Future cheerleader/apologist, I feel compelled to post this ASAP. What can I say? I don’t find myself listening to much rap these days but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis angry teenaged hooligans. Still, even my famously Tyler-averse compatriots have got to support this:… Continue reading »

Sach O: Tyler, The Creator – Goblin

Sach O is a fuckin table. You think you’re sick of hearing about Odd Future? Ask Tyler. Artists hating their own success is a well-worn trope, but the burning glare of the hype machine has never been so swift and vicious: the kid hasn’t even released a CD and yet he’s become the single most… Continue reading »

Sach O: Domo Genesis – Cashmere

Sach O will be pretty baked by the time you read this. Happy 4:20 from Odd Future’s resident super-stoner. Having spent the past few months absorbing the already massive Golf Wang catalog, I’ve found myself returning to Rolling Papers a fair bit thanks to its consistently blunted vibe and cohesive production. Domo’s not quite Tyler… Continue reading »

Sach O: Tyler The Creator – Yonkers (Lil Silva remix)

Sach O just wants to boogie to some Pearson. I heard this on Scratcha’s Grimey Breakfast show yesterday but promptly forgot about it after passing out in a hazy stupor. This is what happens when I listen to UK radio at 4AM after watching Zed Bias and Ramadanman absolutely murder their live sets for an… Continue reading »

Question in the Form of an Answer: Domo Genesis

Everything you read about Domo Genesis will refer to him as Odd Future’s resident weed head. This is how it goes when you title your debut, “Rolling Papers” and arrive to interviews with eyes the color of Coke cans. He capsized his own existence in six words: smoking weed, fucking bitches, eating cereal. Not every… Continue reading »

Question in the Form of An Answer: Frank Ocean

Yesterday, the LA Times ran my profile of Odd Future. No need to rehash the nature of the divide between print and online. Obviously, there are spatial constraints, style guidelines, and obligations to explain “swag” to a Sunday newspaper audience. Also, writing a story about Odd Future without cursing is like eating a pork chop… Continue reading »
