GOLF WANG!!!!!



OFWGKTA is back! Now to any of you guys out there that still haven't heard of OFWGKTA(Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All) they are an 11 man crew, they comprise Tyler, The Creator,Hodgy Beats ,Left Brain, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Mike G, Frank Ocean, Syd tha Kyd, Matt Martians, Jasper Dolphin and Taco. Now this is their third compilation in which they whole crew appears on ;

The OF tape Vol.2

This is the groups first official album, consisting of 18 tracks. Despite all 11 members being on the album they do not appear on the same track, which for some this presents a problem as the compilation apparently lacks fluidity and at times appears incoherent. This can be seen through out the album with The Internet (Syd Tha Kid and Matt Martians) providing a jazzy R&B feel ( with a Pharrellish sound) on “Ya Know.” and Frank Ocean on “Snow White” and “White,” Where he shines as usual. I however don't have a problem with these jazzy R&B interjections because they appear to give the album more depth and allow the crew to showcase their  ever growing talent. Now there are many banger on this album and personally I had the whole album on repeat for the past two days!!! If you have listened to any of their previous work you will immediately notice some pretty fucking insane beats on this album the next thing you notice is that the Group tones down on the maniacal (aka awesome) lyrical content which makes it lighter on all you OF noobs never the less this does not affect OF's spitting game as the OF fam are still able to produce retarded lines:

Mike G - Forest Green "Follow the leader, bad senoritas in two seater's/ She loves green, that's money, Mary Jane and margaritas/ The way it seems, the streets be looking at me like a teacher"

Hodgy - P "Tea parties are the shit, forty mags by the scones/ I'm fighting for gun rights to shoot a nigga in his dome/ Click your fucking heels, there's no place like home / Cock back and blast off written on the tombstone, ain't that a bitch"

Earl Sweatshirt - Oldie"Swallowin' syrup and settin' fire to sheriff's whips/ (Whoosp, whoosp) fuckin' All-American terrorist / Crushin' rapper larynx to feed 'em a fuckin' carrot stick/ And me? I just spent a year Ferrisin'/ And lost a little sanity to show you what hysterics is/ Spit til' the lips meet the bottom of a barrel, so that sterile piss/ Flow remind these niggas where embarrassed is"

Tyler the Creator - Sam(is dead) Bottom of the countdown, shit ain't been the same/ Since I found out Hodgy Beats ghost wrote for Bow-Wow/ Now I'm the loud, shot, body-styled, foul mouth fucker
That your teenage kid, likes to bow down/ Flow remind these niggas where embarrassed is

Over all i think the album is fucking awesome!!! Its my favorite album for 2012 so far, I would give it a4.5/ 5. The album showcases the variety of talent within OF, it contains numerous ill tracks, and is also easy on the ears for those new to OF and new listeners. My favorite track off the album would have to be Rella.

Before i go i would like to leave you with this:
