The (Black) Kids Are Alright

Earl Sweatshirt, 19.

 

Uh (Here We Go, Loopty-Loop, Here We Go, Loopty-Lie)

I'm so sick of this. Somebody seriously needs to call these people and tell them to calm down. Nobody cares, this is "just how we roll" now:

"Bikram yoga founder facing allegations of rape now accused of racism, misogyny, homophobia and running his company 'like a cult'"

Yada-yada-yada. Yeah, yeah, yoga. Gurus are just trying to "control" and "brainwash" people. Sure. Tell me another one. BTW - those three girls who recently "escaped" being some lunatic's life-long sex slaves? We gotta give 'em back. Yeah, it's been decided, under NewAge rules, he, too, got 'em fair-and-square. You know, like Whole Foods shoppers.



Now, go and live a "stress-free" lifestyle, like everybody else.

Of course, it's strongly suggested you take up yoga to do that,...

America's Not Ready (For The Odd Future It Gave Us)

Odd Future's Frank Ocean Doing "Bad Religion" (Nice)

Taxi driver You're my shrink for the hour Leave the meter running It's rush hour So take the streets if you wanna Just outrun the demons, could you? He said "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me "But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me If it brings me to my knees It's a bad religion

This unrequited love To me it's nothing but A one-man cult And cyanide in my styrofoam cup I could never make him love me Never make him love me Love, love...

Taxi driver I swear I've got three lives Balanced on my head like steak knives I can't tell you the truth about my disguise I can't trust no one And you say "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me "But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me If it brings me to my knees It's a bad religion

This unrequited love To me it's nothing but A one-man cult And cyanide in my styrofoam cup I could never make him love me Never make him love me No, no

It's a bad religion To be in love with someone Who could never love you Only bad Only bad religion Could have me feeling the way I do

Odd Future: Wanting A Father's Respect (Mine)

The keynote speech at the 25th annual South by Southwest Music festival, which took over downtown Austin from Wednesday to Saturday, was a bit grumpy. Bob Geldof, the Irish rocker who led the Boomtown Rats in the 1970s and went on to assemble the global Live Aid benefit concert in 1985 and its Live 8 sequel in 2005, bemoaned music’s loss of relevance. Although there was no shortage of “cool bands,” he said, music didn’t have the kind of broader social impact that it did with the Beatles, Bob Dylan, punk and grunge. He argued that music was no longer channeling rebelliousness and discontent.

He might have changed his mind had he seen Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, the teenage Los Angeles hip-hop collective that tore across this year’s SXSW. Rapping about drugs, rape, murder, getting pulled over by the police and wanting a father’s respect, over blotchy low-fi tracks, members of Odd Future climbed stage scaffolding and dove into eager crowds. Audiences responded with mosh-pit surges and hearty chants of “Wolf Gang!”

Odd Future’s foul-mouthed gross-outs were exactly the kind of music to appall parents and stoke youthful adrenaline. It has disseminated them not through record sales or radio play but in the digital cloud: giving away a dozen full-length albums by its members online, making videos for YouTube and through constant social-networking posts. Lately it has made television appearances, including one from Austin for the Woodie Awards given by MTV’s “college music” spinoff channel, mtvU, which latched onto the underground cachet of SXSW. Members of Odd Future now have recording contracts and coming retail albums; at SXSW no less an insider than Diddy (formerly P. Diddy) praised them as “the future of the industry.” But with maverick cool, Odd Future stormed offstage 12 minutes into its official SXSW set, complaining about bad microphones.

I'm not sure if I approve yet - this video is the best thing I've seen - but they're kids, so give 'em time.
