man, i like Earl Sweatshirt and Frank Ocean a lot, and i like Tyler when hes actually trying to rap and not just yelling swag and Fork over and over. the rest of odd future is garbage, just hangers-on riding the success those three. if it werent for Yonkers, none of the rest of those turds would be yelling and being ignorant on albums, because i think only Earl and Frank could've made it on their own.

I'm with you. I'm not a big fan of Frank Ocean's music, but I do respect his talent. And with Tyler, you're spot on. I like his stuff, but I'm more of a fan for him being the producer and mastermind of the Odd Future sound. His rapping is meh. (Sort of the same way I feel about RZA)

Earl definitely could have made it on his own. His flow is fresh and original, and he knows how to pick beats that suit him. What's crazy is how he's not even 20 years old yet. I may be over-hyping him a bit, but I expect him to eventually go down as one of the best rappers of this generation.
