Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
/wiki/Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them Allcreator
  • Archive Panic: In four years' time, Odd Future have released more than 20 albums and mixtapes, along with numerous remixes, singles, and incomplete songs; furthermore, there are at least three more records planned for release in 2011 alone. This is not counting unofficial compilations (like The Lonny Breaux Collection, chronicling Frank Ocean's early work) and even more unreleased material that fans know exist but don't actually have. One fan has apparently uncovered over 500 songs.
  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: As of February 8, Earl has returned to the US.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Multiple times in multiple songs, which side it ends up on is up to the listener.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: "Aaaand I'mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmback... Bye."
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Their video for "Oldie." The entire group (or at least most of it) appears in the video, with all the members hanging out and playing around with each other. Everyone is obviously excited to be there, especially Tyler, who dances with Earl at one point and does a weird standing stage-dive at the end. The song itself could also count, especially the final verse -- it's Tyler rapping about starting Odd Future and how it is his family.
      • The dedication at the end of "Oldie" is also pretty heartwarming.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome:
    • Earl has some of the best lines ever. And he's sixteen.
  • Ear Worm: BLINDS WIDE OPEN SO HE CAN SEE YOU IN THE DA-AH-ARK WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPIN'
  • Growing the Beard: Hodgy Beats. His lone solo album, The Dena Tape, is a painful listen that isn't worth writing home about. His work with Left Brain under the name MellowHype really gave him a chance to grow as an artist and as of November 2010, he's starting to hold his own.
    • Similar arguments can be made of some of the other rappers in the collective, though they weren't as visible as Hodgy has been. Casey Veggies also grew lyrically after his amicable departure from Odd Future.
    • Jasper Dolphin, of all people. His earliest recordings are full of nervous giggling and the inability to make anything rhyme. On Tyler's album Goblin, yeah, he's rhyming words with themselves a lot, but he can at least hold his own in some respects.
  • Hype Backlash: With them gaining insane amounts of popularity in just a few months, this was bound to happen.
    • One can actually make the case that the career of a totally unaffiliated rapper--Funk Volume founder Hopsin--was truly kicked off because of a not-entirely-serious diss toward Tyler in his song "Ill Mind 4", where he says Goblin sucks. Hopsin's popularity skyrocketed shortly thereafter. Though, if Tyler ever found out about the diss, he didn't respond on record in any way.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Plenty of the group's oldest material has gotten lost after being removed from its original Media Share and Lime Linx download pages. Did you know The Super 3 produced a song for Blak Tha Map called "Square"? No? Good luck finding it...
  • Memetic Mutation: Swag!
    • WOLF GANG GOLF WANG FLOG GNAW
    • Free Earl!
  • Nightmare Fuel: Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, The Creator have some really dark lyrics
  • Tear Jerker: "Saying 'Free Earl' without even knowing him/They're missing a new album/I'm missing my only friend"
