Odd Future, a hip-hop collective that includes Tyler the Creator, Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis and Left Brain, have a new album dropping March 20 The OF Tape Vol. 2.

No one seems to understand Odd Future...they do things to the extreme. Whereas rap culture talks about things that are seen as sketchy or controversial, OF takes it to the next level and makes it so extremely controversial it just makes you speechless. Not only do they poke fun at pop culture, but also things they find funny. Let loose and don't take everything so serious, life is much funner that way.

I don't care what anyone says, Rella is catchy as hell and the boys of Odd Future are doing something a lot of us misunderstand. I personally can't wait for OF Vol. 2 that's coming out on the 20th of this month!

Offensive to put it mildly. Very anti-women.

You must not be familiar with their other music if you find this offensive. They've created much more offensive things than this.

I don't know which is worse, the song or the video. Just like most other rap songs, ego, ego, ego, misogynistic nonsense, me, me, me, aren't I cool?

Yeah, lets promote a music video where they slap women.

I actually made it to 1:08. I don't know why I lasted that long. That is possibly the most uselesspieceoffeces I've ever had the misfortune to have seen.

You forgot to mention that this video also includes a man slapping a woman whose face breifly leaves the frame. When she stands up and we see her face again, she has miraculously changed into an Asian woman, who, from the smile on her face, enjoys being slapped.

Oh, and there was the rapper shooting black, chunky goo out of his crotch at a group of women (shown not once, but twice) and the women reacting as if they were being spattered with mud. The only thing that confuses me is if this is offensive to women, self loathing from a black perspective or, possibly, both.

I know. Don't take it too seriously. It's just a rap video. It doesn't mean anything. People won't think it is cool. (Will they?)
