I wouldn't say that Tyler is one of the weakest but there are definitely more acts in OFWGKTA that are better.
As someone previously said, Tyler can be seen as the "gateway" drug of OFWGKTA. Through him you get into the other acts.

Well, considering the main acts are Mellowhype, Frank Ocean, Earl, and Tyler, Tyler is at the bottom of those.
Edit: Im not saying i dislike Tyler, i really like him. I just dont understand the huge hype about Goblin, its competent but could be better. Odd Future has some really solid talent.
Damn. 2011 GAF Hipster HOP | Look at our unique and different peacock feathers.
Mellowhype is pretty good, but they don't hold a candle to anything in Tyler's catalog. Post a track that proves otherwise, Until then, take Splatter, French, Bastard, Yonkers, Tron Cat, Transylvania, etc. That should give you guys a good head start. Find me some MH songs that are better then those.
Recon is salty because Tyler took Eminem's seat at the hip hop table of relevancy.

I would go as far as to say if there was no Tyler, OFWGKTA wouldn't be as "big" as they are right now. He has a certain bravado/charisma to him that's irreplaceable in the group as its leader. He's neck-at-neck with Earl in terms of rapping ability (I'd wager Earl is the better wordsmith), and I don't know how people prefer Mellowhype over all other OFWGKTA projects; maybe I should re-listen.
For some reason, I don't vibe well with Frank Ocean. The Weeknd > Frank Ocean, but that's another story.
Sidenote: I'm really interested in The Jet Age of Tomorrow. I should check that OFWGKTA project out.

I listened to Earl and the beats were all OFWGTKA type beats, but the kid seems to be a real spitter, easily better than Tyler.
And after listening to Bastard after Goblin, I'd say Bastard was better than Goblin in production and songs, while Goblin had the better theme.
I'm going to check out Mellowhype's two releases.

Meh, no one in OF is a particularly good rapper. They're all alright to varying degrees, with Earl being the best

All we need is Pinko to complete the group. We're like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, someone is always in jail or has police problems...
Shinobi - wassuper?

Recon - lol. Tyler doesn't have Jimmy Iovine buying him hairplugs and botox. GTFO.
Pinko, I think, is back with the army. If you're ready this buddy SALUTE!

CunninLynguist live show are tiiiiight!! awesome stage presence, crowd control, and the members have a lot of great chemistry with each other and look like they're having a real great time.
with that attitude it's like dang no wonder their music is so good.
I am so glad that I can now take them off my list of artists I haven't seen live yet!!
similar to Dessa, but way better imo. You should definitely check them out.

Cage's Hell's Winter is the best medium inbetween his first and third albums. He doesn't go too "emo" like his third and he keeps the some of the grittiness of his first.RJT said:
Just don't get Depart From Me. Don't do it.

I think Wale's a good rapper. I loved Back to the Feature, A Mixtape About Nothing and More About Nothing. While his debut album left things to be desired, it's alright in its own right when you don't compare it to his mixtapes.

I was having this conversation. I forget where. Might have been here on GAF HOP. Do you guys ever feel like you've had your fill of an artist? I think Common falls into that category from me. The snippet sounded good. Nice flow, good beat. I didn't like the 1998 Cassette Tape filter going on, but it's a solid track. Still, I have no hype for a Common album. There were a couple other good examples of artists I felt this way about too, but I can't think of who they are right now. Oh, Raekwon. He still makes good music, but I feel like my thirst for new Rae music has been sated. I've had Shao vs Wu in my Rhapsody since it came out and hardly listen to it.
Anyone feel this way about certain artists? It's not a knock on the new stuff they're doing, just a general burn out altogether.

Made in Russia. Grown on a boat. Born in the Bronx. Lived in Cincinnati since I was 3. I think Wale is cool as fuck. Only thing I don't like of his is the mixtape he did after the album. 600 Benz is one of the best thumper songs this year.

Originally from the Boogie Down. Probably one of the oldest in this thread.
Cage and El P are a great combo. Cage's Movies For the Blind, Hell's Winter and the Weathermen were my joints in the early 2000s.
And theOddOne mentioned it, but no feedback on the Keith Murray/Cannibus, Jadakiss or Big L joints?

If Kieth Murray x Bis makes it to Rhapsody I'll talk shit about it. But I'm so unpumped I'm not even gonna bother digging up the link.
Are the songs on YouTube? Streaming anywhere?
I really like Kieth. Why he teamed up with bitch is beyond me.
What's the new Jada you mentioned?

True. Looks like we got some real niggas in this thread. (STFU you know what I mean.)
The reason I ask about Wale is I'm from the same little town in MD as him. Well. At least I moved there in 7th grade. I grew up in the way worse parts of town than he did.
I actually am really close friends with his cousin, who attends UMD.
I didn't even know they were related until earlier this year when I showed him I was trying to be a rapper and he kind of just sprung up the fact. Like yo, you know I'm Wale's cousin right? I'm gonna show him your stuff when you finish your mixtape.
My mind was blown.
needless to say.

Well, did he like your stuff?
And I think Wale has potential. I thought his debut was aiight. I'm looking to see how well he meshes with Rick Ross on that tape.
And these are the Earl joints I've been bumping:

And I didn't know Common had a new joint dropping. If it's solely No I.D. and Kanye West then it'll be another classic or near (like Resurrection, One Day It'll Make Sens, BE or Finding Forever). Except for that Universal Mind Control and Electric Circus, his discography is on point. Only Ghost, Outkast or Scarface are as consistent.
