Tyler Creator, Domo Genesis, Hodgy Beats, Left Brain,
Mike G, Jasper, Earl Sweatshirt, Taco all go in on on RADICAL.
The very first tape where they decide to rap over other beats.
The tape is interesting nonetheless. And it has ODD FUTURE all over it.
Tyler, The Creator: sup cuh
Casen Kreation: oh wassup yo
Tyler, The Creator: nuthin, just got back from stealing bacon.
Casen Kreation: haha ralphs?
Tyler, The Creator: yesssssur, hickory some shit, it's good tho.
Casen Kreation: is there a certain kind you only fuck with? lol
Tyler, The Creator: nah, I love all bacon. except for turkey bacon. I think it’s gay for a dude to pick that over pork, unless it’s the only one there, or he is Islamic.
Casen Kreation: agreed, that shit taste nasty as fuck too, never liked it.
Casen Kreation: aight, let's get in this shit
Tyler, The Creator: iight fashizzzzz
Casen Kreation: Catch us up on what's been going down since Bastard. There have been some releases since then by other members on the Odd Future label, correct?
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah. Earl, Mellowhype, Mike G, niggas have been busy. Filming more, the skate team is gonna swag it out. I got fired from my job after 3 years, still in school, and uh, noticed that ofwgkta is my fucking family.
Casen Kreation: Fired from your job for 3 years? I thought you worked at a chill ass spot? TF happened?
Tyler, The Creator: New manager, I have a defiance problem.....we always argued till the day I was late and she figured out I can get fired for it.
Casen Kreation: Haha sounds like she was brain dead from the get go, oh well. You got what you needed out of it right?
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah, I mean, shit happens for a reason.
Casen Kreation: Onto the tape, who is Wolf Haley?
Tyler, The Creator: Haha, Wolf Haley is this guy I think I am deep down inside; I use him to look cool.
Casen Kreation: Blade by Earl Sweatshirt and Domo Genesis - What happened with that track? Couldn't make it to the studio or what? Haha.
Domo Genesis: Haha. College man. I was all the way in AZ, but I still plan on getting on that in the future.
Casen Kreation: Double Cheeseburger by Domo Genesis And Wolf Haley -
"I'm the super sega genesis, salute me gang invented this and you can't get no membership"
How did your name come about?
Domo Genesis: Well Sega Genesis was mos def my fave game system, represents my childhood, but beyond that, Genesis means beginning, so I wanted this to represent the beginning of a new me.
Casen Kreation: Drop by Earl Sweatshirt - "And i'm magic with the words murder merlin over beats" Do you think this is your best track yet?
Earl Sweatshirt: No. My best track, the track that I’ll never be able to surpass is earl. But drop is hot like fia tho.
Casen Kreation: Round And Round by Hodgy Beats, Jasper, And Mike G - What's the story behind this? It's fucking hilarious.
Hodgy Beats: The story we had on "Round and Round" is epic. Okay so the chick is "hungry" and I decide to feed her. Not food exactly but it works!
Earl Sweatshirt: Dem hoes is hungry out here on these streets, you feel? We out here my nigga, we out here.
Mike G: Dawg. We left Hodgy in the studio solo for like 2 hours and when we came back he had like five songs recorded. So we were listnin and we came across that track and I just had to throw a verse on it. The thing is, me nor Jasper had no fuckin idea where G got the subject matter for that song but i guess it worked out.
Casen Kreation: Orange Juice by EARL/WOLF - Now you and Earl are on this track together, how is it working with your brother? How did this project go? And you have ceased to put 2dopeboyz on blast, how far do you plan on taking the beef?
Tyler, The Creator: I love that lil nigga, we feed off of each other. The idea for radical was to do beats we've always liked, and we listen to a lot of Gucci and Waka shit, so, it came natural. And uh, it’s no beef really, I just hate they’re fucking guts and I hope they croak. If I ever see that shake nigga in person, I’m going to jail.
Casen Kreation: I got the vibe off the track. You two just flow with your shit. Damn. Enough said with that shit. EARL/WOLF. Is there a tape in the works with just you and him on the tape?
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah, EARL/WOLF is like our madvillain. It’s just us going in on tracks back to back on some red and meth shit. I’m not gonna do many beats tho. Left Brain is gonna lace us with some ill shit, gonna be like 7 tracks.
Casen Kreation: Clean, that is going to be a ridiculous tape. Any word on a release date?
Tyler, The Creator: Uhh, prob in August, who knows tho, it was just a sick idea.
Casen Kreation: Oblivion by Tyler, The Creator - The mood and overall feel is different from the other tracks, and has a different vibe from the other tracks you've done. Is there any significance or deep meaning to this track?
Tyler, The Creator: Not really, I just always wanted to rap over my favorite songs and shit. But the last verse on there is kinda deep, it’s explaining me writing to myself as a fan.
Casen Kreation: Up by Tyler, The Creator, Domo Genesis And Hodgy Beats - One of my favorite tracks off of Wiz's Kush And Orange Juice. Where does the inspiration come from for this track? Seems to touch some levels for all three of you.
Domo Genesis: Well getting high is my thing lol. I tried to deliver that feeling in a song.
Casen Kreation: Haha I hear ya on that, you deff delivered. What can we expect from you in the future?
Domo Genesis: My mixtape coming mad soon, Rolling Papers. Late May/early June.
Casen Kreation: Rolling Papers? Now that sounds like fire already. Can't wait to hear it man, keep up the good work.
Domo Genesis: As it will be my friend. Thanks.
Tyler, The Creator: I don’t smoke at the fuck all, so I wanted to make something that will give me that same HIGH feeling that Domo and Hodgy feel when they’re blazed. But this is my favorite wiz song.
Casen Kreation: On the drug issue, we know you don't fuck with them. Personal choice or you could give a fuckless?
Tyler, The Creator: I just don’t need them, I have a natural high. But last time I fucked with weed I ended up crying try to call the ambulance.
Casen Kreation: And the time Earl gave you weed brownies on new year’s, TF happened with all that?
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah, shirt off, curled up in a ball tryna kill myself. Worst night of my fucking life. So I don’t fuck with weed, never really did.
Hodgy Beats: Well I can't deny the fact that I smoke weed and see no problem doing so. It's a downtime luxury for me. I can be with who I be with, roll up, light up- swag me out. I feel I can elaborate more lyric wise. Weed takes me to my thoughts to where I can see my words in front of me when freestyling, it's like a tunnel vision, i'm just seeing mary jane.
Casen Kreation: Have you made all of your tracks high?
Hodgy Beats: No. Most of my songs I believe to have been sober.
Casen Kreation: That's a good out look on it all, any up coming projects you'd like to share?
Hodgy Beats: Beatpads&Notepads with my man Bambeeno (producer). The tape is about my life and the downs ive gone through. It's real hip hop. You'll like it. It's being mastered as we speak. No set date yet, but there will be one soon. I'm also working on my ALBUM "The By Who Cried Wolf". OFWGKTA. We are working on Domo Genesis as of right now though, we working people!
Casen Kreation: You got quite a few projects going on, i'm eager to see that tape though, same feel from yellow/white?
Hodgy Beats: Naa. It's going to be way different. My beats, tyler, left brain, and matt for my album.
Casen Kreation: With them on the album, you already know it's going to be madness. I'm looking forward to the album though, the direction will be interesting, knowing your tracks and beats.
Hodgy Beats: Yeah man, i'm on some other shit. Tyler and earl got me steppin game up really, I gotta keep up lol
Casen Kreation: Ya'll feed on each other, that's what I like about the OF gang. Never leave another man in the dust, good shit.
Casen Kreation: Swag Me Out by Jasper And Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All - Is everyone on the label on this track?
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah, like everyone, its jasper song, but he was like fuck it, make this like Tina and swag it the fuck out.
Casen Kreation: Are you shooting a video for any of these songs?
Tyler, The Creator: Maybe for up, but, so far, prolly not, just little videos of us doing everyday RADICAL shit.
Casen Kreation: On that note, OFWGKTA. Break it down for those who don't know.
Tyler, The Creator: Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. Don’t give a fuck litter life bacon boyz loiter squad.
Casen Kreation: And the skate team, what's good with that? Is there an official team? If so, who's on it?
Tyler, The Creator: Fucking milsap, julian hick, kevin white, olan, nakel smith, theotis beasly, fucking....ahh, it’s a couple, but we're gonna start filming this video in like a month.
Casen Kreation: An Odd Future skate video, fuck. That's just chaotic before it even starts.
Casen Kreation: What can we expect next from OF?
Tyler, The Creator: Fucking, skate team, some more music soon, we might just have an art book coming out with photos and art from some of our low key peeps. Some clothing collabs with Casen Kreation and the homies at freedminds. More videos and like shit, more swag.
Casen Kreation: Always more swag. Where can the people hear your music? Or better yet find you, facebook deleted you like 3 times? haha
Tyler, The Creator: Haha, yeah fuck them. oddfuture.com tho. We update it like everyday with photos, music, videos and just random shit.
Casen Kreation: Last but not least, any shout outs?
Tyler, The Creator: Uh, sup to steve harvey, 2 dope boyz. And uh, missy elliot got hit by a big ass bus and fuck that baby.
November 27, 2008. Doesn't seem that far away, But that has been the time since the Odd Future tape has dropped. Since then, well. Here you have it. BASTARD. 15 tracks of pure unorthodox lyrics. A album released on December 25, 2009. Christmas day. A album that shouldn't have been released On Christmas, more like on Friday the 13th. Although... If you know of Tyler by now, you should have seen this coming. Nothing is unexpected. This is BASTARD.
The album has to be one of the realest i've listened to. Maybe it's because Tyler speaks of what is on his mind. Which is a dangerous place to go. This album allows us to venture into the mind of an individual who is utterly not phased by mainstream propaganda. A individual who cleary does not give a fuck. 2009 has had many moments that will go down in history. And I can say if this album was listened to by the masses, the youth would have an altered state of mind.
Time was made, and a much needed Q&A was in order...
Casen Kreation: Tyler, since the odd future mixtape, what have you been up to?
Tyler, The Creator: Shit. Nothing. Skating, and acting ignorant as fuck. Taking more photos and just living life.
Casen Kreation: Why did it take you "this long" to come out with a full album? You've come out with many tracks since the OF mixtape, what happend?
Tyler, The Creator: Shit, I don’t know. I always wanted it to be perfect timing. I feel like this is the perfect time for me to release something, plus, I did most of these songs this month, so it’s really recent. It gave me time to think and put together a real album, not just random songs.
Casen Kreation: Ending 09 with a bang, sick. Speaking of random songs, I hear you got 100+ saved up. This rumor true?
Tyler, The Creator: I HAVE MORE THAN THAT. I have beats I’ve done from since I was 12 till 18. I have over 100 rough drafts of songs. I could drop a mixtape every month if I wanted.
Casen Kreation: So basically you could do what Lil Wayne did, a few years back and flood the streets with new mixtapes every month with all new shit?
Tyler, The Creator: Sure, could have....but I believe in quality over quantity.
Casen Kreation: Do you believe that's what separates you from other "artists" in the game today?
Tyler, The Creator: I think so. But, the real thing that separates Odd Future from other artists, is that we don’t give a fuck. We do what we want, we make what we listen to. I can give a fuck about what you wanna hear, I make what I want to play when I’m jacking off or baking a cake.
Casen Kreation: For those of us who don't know, break it down. Who is Odd Future, OFWGKTA?
Tyler, The Creator: ODD FUTURE is myself, left brain, hodgy beats, super 3, casey veggies, brandun deshay, domo genesis, earl and syd. Just music lovers who make what they love. Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All is what we are. It’s like a religion. It’s a lot of us that grew up together and have been friends for years. Skaters, musicians, artist, college students, drug dealers...just kids who have something in common that don’t give a fuck.
Casen Kreation: Back to the album, let's start off with the first track, Bastard, obviously you have some animosity towards 2dopeboys, can you shed some light on that?
Casen Kreation: Case and point. Can't argue with that. Blogs and sites you do fuck with?
Tyler, The Creator: Casen Kreation!, 100kgold, peasandcarrots, layyouout, deadrespeakss, injuredgoods, dimepeace, its way to many to name. hypetrak on hypebeast fucked with me raw though. I love them all for even liking me.
Casen Kreation: That's what’s up. Good lookin on the shoutout! Yeah, I’ve seen that hypetrak and hypebeast postings, that’s deff a good look. Why need 2dopeboys when you got hypebeast, right? haha
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah, a lot of people fuck with hypebeast, but I can’t front, 2fuckboys is big when it comes to hip-hop music. Fuck it, I don’t need em.
Casen Kreation: Tell me the story behind French! The track goes hard.
Tyler, The Creator: Man!, I love that song, seriously, I don’t know! I work where there’s a lot of TEA around, and I thought while I was working , what I would look like in a sherlock holmes outfit drinking TEA. Then goldie locks and some really fucked up shit just start coming into my head. Wrote that shit down on my jeans and recorded it the next day.
Casen Kreation: Damn, after listening to the album, that has to be one of my favorite tracks. I was bumpin that shit in my 86 cutlass supreme today, some lady pulled up in a benzo and rolled up her windows haha.
Tyler, The Creator: Good. That’s exactly what I love to hear.
Casen Kreation: Is that your message? To have "Corporate America" be in disgust with your music? Despite if you give a fuck of anyone else’s thoughts, besides your own?
Tyler, The Creator: Yes, I want people to say "Why the fuck did he say that?" This is America you can’t say that!" Free speech is muthafucka aint it? But when it comes to beats, I want them to say wow, this nigga is sent from heaven with these beautiful sounds....but that’s satan’s son rapping.
Casen Kreation: Speaking of satan, from the back cover of your album to "sold my soul to the devil for 30% off" what's up with the satan references? Or are you just fucking with us all again?
Tyler, The Creator: Well, other than the fact that I’m atheist, my grandmother once told me I was from hell, since I was so evil. I kinda took that and flipped it. Since I didn’t have a father, I sorta went to "this devil guy" as a role model.
Casen Kreation: You must have took that to heart, especially if that was said to you at a early age.
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah, overall my childhood was great, but, I remembered that.
Casen Kreation: What are the red and blue cover significances?
Tyler, The Creator: The good and evil. Evil is more so demonic, blue is more so happy. On the blue cover, it reads a secret message. On the red, some kids have the number 6 on them.
Casen Kreation: Back again at the satan reference as a role model? Or you have a hate against kids as well?
Tyler, The Creator: Nah, I’m still a kid in a sense, 18 ain’t no adult cuh, my grandma would be proud.
Casen Kreation: Word.
Casen Kreation: Yo, that tina track, fuck man. Fucking hilarious. You reference tina, sarah, who are these girls?
Tyler, The Creator: Lisa is from some dude looking for some random bitch named lisa at my homies house. Sarah is a fake name I gave this girl who dissed me. Tina, it’s like part 2 from lisa, that random ass wtf? song.
Casen Kreation: Ahh that one. I remember that one. Shit. Girls shouldn’t be dissing you, they could end up on a fucking album! On blast!
Tyler, The Creator: Milan, Raquel, Danielle, You will hear these names throughout the album.
Casen Kreation: If you had to shoot a video for one of these tracks, which one and why?
Tyler, The Creator: I plan on shooting a video for blow, cus I have an idea...but sarah, just beacause it would be stupid scary x crazy, and I want raquel to know how I felt when that homecoming shit didn’t work out.
Casen Kreation: Speaking of blow, I’m listening to it now. These bose speakers are gunna blow my eardrums. Damn. I’m sure she'd get the message then.
Tyler, The Creator: Lmfao yeah. I hate her. But love her.
Casen Kreation: "Pigs Fly" you have Domo Genesis on the track, tell me how you guys got together on this track.
Tyler, The Creator: Shit. Domo and I are 3 days apart. We are like brothers man, same type of household, single parents, never was in gangs, shit like that, and, shit, we just clicked at school. He started coming over to my house to record rough drafts on my computer when we would ditch math class. We did this song so many times. But, this is it and he ripped it.
Casen Kreation: Yeah, I checked his "Heart Of Gold" track, and knew he was to come out with some great work.
Tyler, The Creator: Man, that dude has punch lines for days. Seriously, the shit we got cooking up is bananas.
Casen Kreation: Whaaaat? Another Tyler, The Creator and Domo track?
Tyler, The Creator: Omg. We have this song called "good morning". When I say the greatest beat I’ve done to date, I MEAN IT. It’s so beautiful. No words can explain this way this beat can make you feel.
Casen Kreation: In many of your tracks you shout out to freshjive, what's your affiliation with the brand?
Tyler, The Creator: I fucks with no homo. Right now, I actually intern designing shit, it’s one of my favorite brands and I love the experience.
Casen Kreation: That's what's up. I love Rick's new "no label" concept. Pure genius.
Tyler, The Creator: Man that guy is fucking awesome. The way he comes up with shit. He is a really awesome guy to kick it with.
Casen Kreation: It's no mystery to us, but you're deff on your video A game. Your videos on youtube always get me. Favorites, sidekick break II & puppy love. Aside from your videos that have reached over 36,000 views, you're pretty into film huh?
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah I want a career in it....but those are just videos for fun...I’m really into the art of it, I have some secret stashed shit I’m going to show you.
Casen Kreation: What can we expect in the future for Tyler, The Creator? Collaborations between brands/artists? Side projects? New material?
Tyler, The Creator: Shit. Look out for mellowhype, that’s hodgy and left brain, earl and domo shit coming soon. I will be releasing videos to some songs. Other than that, I’m just gonna be living life until next xmas when I release some other shit.
Casen Kreation: Sick. Good to see the OF fam come up. Next xmas? I know you're not going a year without releasing one track till xmas?!
Tyler, The Creator: I know. That WOLF GANG skate video coming soon too. I might release one thing but, ima let OF get some light, ima push them till my dick falls off.
Casen Kreation: Good lookin on that shit. OF Sergeant on some real shit.
Casen Kreation: Any shout outs you wanna give out?
Tyler, The Creator: Yeah, fuck steve harvey and fuck keenan thompson. OFWGKTA
Casen Kreation: Tell em where they can download the album and your other sites.
Tyler, The Creator: oddfuture.com It’s there on dat first page, after the porn virus.
Well there you have it people. Straight from the Odd Future sergeant himself. Tyler, The Creator. BASTARD.
