Tyler, The Creator - Yonkers from DauphÃn on Vimeo.
It would be foolish to take OFWGKTA, or Odd Future at face value. A quick glance might conjure assumptions ranging anywhere from “goofy skater kids” to “reckless vagabonds”, however, this 10 member deep alternative hip-hop group prides itself in its distinct ability to shock and destroy.
These dunk-sporting renegades have raised the temperature in LA hip-hop scene and are quickly becoming a 10 man force to be reckoned with. Led by spirited lead rapper Tyler the Creator, the group is made up of Earl Sweatshirt, Domo, Genesis, Mike G, Frank Ocean, Super 3, Syd tha Kyd, Left Brain and Hodgy Beats.
Urban Dictionary cites OFWGKTA as “a group of satanic skateboarding rapist rappers”, and a quick perusal of the groups music videos suggests that this rather unorthodox definition is well, true. With no shortage of “F*** You’s”, drug innuendos, on-camera vomiting, and of course, skateboards, Odd Future understands the efficiency of shock value and capitalizes on it.
