OFWGKTA
Its fair to say, Britain is on fire #battyriderseason. today it reached gone 23 degrees, surely, was sweltering as I trekked to and from college in sandals, a pair of leggings and a cute little dress, which I well mosdef be taking to ibizaaaa with me, was loving it!, wish I hadn't worn the leggings mind - jeeez look at me talking all english about the weather. what I really wanted to post about was this video I just scouted off of somebody's facebook page of a british journalists interview and following of OFWGKTA posted on News Night some time in April this year. How I have missed this I don't know?! But literally, this has, and yes I am ashamed to say, educated me a teeeny bit about wtf OFWGKTA is actually all about (for those of you who dont trust wiki) and why soooo many people aren jumping on the 70's crunge, rap star hip hop hype, so many young white teeens espc.
so... OFWGKTA is an abbreviation of the long-ass, no-sense-making title, that is; ODD FUTURE Wolf Gang Kill Them All, also shortened to Odd Future in the British Press, they are a rap group from L.A America who rap about anything and everything, their lyrics are literally as random as their title. In the video they are described as rock and roll meets rap, I honesty just wanna call them punky/rap they are 70's barble, their lyrics are pop cult, explicit, random, offensive/non offensive, drug, sex, loud in your face - leaving a distinct sour after taste in the older generation and rebellious fire and spirit in the youth.
I actually think they are pretty cool, but have also become the aspirations and role models for doped up boys and girls and boys, 3rd generation pro feminism - girls calling themselves baddest bitch. expletives like fuck and pussy niggah, bitch etccccc are their main word source. their music is unrelatable? out of this world prehaps? not sure if thats in a good thing, it just sums up what kids of today want to do, #yolo and #yoyo, your only young once! its about rebellion, something the parents can't tap in to, cus the lyrics mean far less to them, its just vulgar noise and obscene lyrics.
"stab bruno mars in his god damn oesophagus" - see now what's bruno Mars done to you, ive seen him live and ngl he did make me swoon, a tiny bit. Don't judge me mind, I feel it neccessary to say before V Festival I had completely no interest, what so ever in the guy until he sang sweet melodies on stage/in my ear (whatever!) and literally made me wanna mount/cuddle (-again whatever!) whoever was next to me, unfortunately that was my beffa... (whose like 6ft tall and a girl...) However this is pretty much how he made every single other female in the crowd feel im sure...hmm and then a couple months later, the little grinning chipmunk was on XFactor and my mother practically fell in love with him the same way. Seee Bruno attracts women (yes I AM WOMAN) of all ages, sizes and styles. whereas OFWGKTA attracts only a select group of new era (not the hat company) odddd (pun!) adolescents ready to cause an unexplainable, random off key, riot for fun. It's all about rebellion, being not what you expect, not in the charts, completely underground yet well known and popular music
They are new pop, punky rap. Their swag is literally ALL I see dotted around the youths, the kids just wanna be exactly like them. they're dress is all "supreme" caps, and nike blazers, denim shirts, quirky tee's, typical new boy swag - which is whyyy the teens want to be like them because its possible.
The best thing about them.... They're music is free, they give it away! and just sell their merch for bareeee dollar! Just watch the video yallll! Gives a very english, toffee nosed view point on the group, England is such a reserved country, the kids are tutted at for swearing in public, OFWGKTA's whole lyrical setup is fuelled with poking fun and the system, getting drunk, drugged up, laid and living in the moment and being young! which is what makes it hilareee -
Anyways watch the videeoo and I'll look at uploading an #OOTD montagé - possibly, if i'm not lazy and that flapjack doesn't keep hollaring my name ;) = APPRENTICE IS ON.
