The boys from Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (affectionately, Odd Future or OFWGKTA) are back with their newest collaborative effort, The OF Tape Vol. 2. While a lot of the original hype that surrounded their meteoric rise has subsided, these guys, who came out of seemingly nowhere, took 2010 and 2011 by storm, with solo releases and collaborations between almost all of the 12 members of the collective.
Nominally led by Tyler, The Creator, this video features the entire group – yes, even Earl Sweatshirt (who attained near mythical status with the cries of “Free Earl!” when he was sent to boarding school by his mother while the group were out touring) – doing what they do best: freestyle rapping and playing off of each other. The energy in this video is great, and you can tell that these guys are all just having fun and messing about. It’s casual, relaxed, and more importantly, let’s the lyrical content do the talking.
Interestingly, the video is set at a photo shoot by Terry Richardson, who some might recognize from the video that will one day break the internet. You guessed it – Kate Upton doing the “Cat Daddy”. Because I love you, here’s a bonus:
