Odd Future Concert
I saw odd future live about 2 weeks ago. Everybody was there, and they all performed some of there own stuff. It was pretty hard to stand close to the stage though, everybody was going ape shit the whole time. I got some good videos too.
Insane Clown Posse
I've been listening to the icp albums, it's some strange sounding music. But it's diffrent so it's entertaining and it keeps me satisfied. They say a lot of crazy shit that I've never heard in my life. It's these two white dudes, Violent Jay and Shaggy 2 Dope, they contrast each other perfectly.

Woodstock
Watching Woodstock was funny. Seeing a bunch of fucked up people dancing around to intense music was very entertaining. I always heard about Woodstock being absolutly legendary, and the music was. But it looked overpopulated with hippies, which I guess is to be expected. It was a cool movie to watch
Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon
Watching the wizard if oz with the dark side of the moon playing was pretty weird. It was kind of depressing, but still it's amazing how it was qued up like that. I can't believe the album was made about 30 years after the movie. I honestly think it was a coincidence, but you never really know.

Johnny Cash
This is just solid, classic music. It's superb. He's got a good style and good lyrics. I enjoyed listening to it and I hope we listen to more.
Kendrick Lamar
Several of my friends had recommended me to Kendrick Lamar, so I downloaded his album. It was really strange to me and I couldn't really get into it. He dosnt go with the beat. And the beats weren't even all that great. I even stopped and then tried I go back and listen to it again. Still didnt like it.

2Pac
Alot of people ask the 2Pac or Biggie question. I think 2Pac is so much better, he raped about things he had to go through while Biggie raped more about things he has. I think they are both legendary artists, but Ive been listening to 2Pac for a really long time, and i think he is more talented.
Cream
I only liked one song off the album Disraeli Gears, sunshine of your love, the rest seemed a little odd. I felt like there was something not right about the album.nI cant remember if we listened to their first album or not.....

More Beetles
I feel like they're music is completely diffrent from what it was when we started listing to them. Its all trippy and those music videos didn't make much sense. Why the mustaches?
Flatbush Zombies
Flatbush zombies is this rap group from Flatbush that do a bunch of bathsalt. They're pretty good but they're weird. They only have one album out but its interesting. i dont think they are really famous either. But i listen to them every now and then.

Domo Genesis
Domo Genesis always goes hard, no matter what. He's got an unstoppable flow. He's the like the tank of odd future. He's solid. Just listen to this

Tyler, The Creator
Tyler is probably the most outgoing artists I've ever heard. Ive heard some pretty obscene/satanic things come out of his mouth. And I think thats what makes him famous. The only true and honest thing he raps about is not having a dad, other then that its senseless violent lyrics. But its genius and it sounds awesome.
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix has kept me pretty entertained, his music defiantly has a lot more to it then the other stuff we've been listening. I've heard some of his music already and i've always liked it.

Earl
Earl Sweatshirt is probably the most infamous member of odd future, due to his abnormally large leap of absence. He was sent to Somoah, the everybody started the "free earl" trend. But then he came back and started making music again. He's finally released a song made entirely by him and it came out 2 days ago. Its called chum

Big Krit
Big Krit is a pretty talented artist. Its cool how he raps about meaningful things, instead of just bragging like a lot of rappers. I enjoyed seeing him at acl more then anyone else there. Just recently i looked at how much music he has out and i realized ive only heard a small amount of his music. Im probably gonna download more of his stuff in the future

Tech N9ne
Tech N9ne is one of my favorite rappers. He can rapper faster then anyone ive ever heard and hes like 40 years old. He still makes music to this day, it may not be as good as it used to but i respect him for alot of his old stuff. Plus he was the first artist i ever saw live.
Beach Boys
The beach boys were pretty chill, we listened to almost an entire album by them and it wasnt bad. I still think the beetles are better, but it was a nice change up from watching/listening to all those movies and albums about the beetles. They're a lot different but its a nice change.

Mike G
Mike G is the oldest member of odd future, and damn hes been slacking. He hasnt released any music in so long. And a lot his songs are only 1 minute long, and they are so badass but then they end to quickly. Hes got a slower style then everybody else, its a nice variation. But he need to hurry up and make more music. His new album is called Gold, but i have no clue when thats coming out. Probably not anytime soon. Heres one of my favorite songs by him

Kanye West
Ive been listening to a lot of Kanye West lately, his music is pretty awesome. Lyrically hes not that great, hes kind of a douche bag. But producing wise, hes a genius. Almost every song ive heard by him has a sick beat. And his label has alot of good artists in it like Kid Cudi and Big Sean. Plus he does a bunch of work with Jay-Z.

Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi is by far my favorite artist of all time. Ive never heard anything like his music, i consider him to have his own genre. His first 2 albums were amazing, but they are very different from each other. Then he stopped smoking and made wzrd, which was total garbage. I was extremely disappointed with it. But he has lucky returned to his old habits, and is making his new album Indicud. He released his first single not too long ago and it was awesome, check it out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDeoVnhX9cg

The Rolling Stones
I dont know anything about the rollings stones. Ive seen the magazine like 6 billion times. The album we listened to was ok, pretty slow. Im sure well listen to some of their better stuff at some point. They have to good of a reputation for that to be there best music.

MellowHype
MellowHype (Left Brain & Hodgy Beats) is one of my all time favorite rap groups. I consider them to be the core of Odd Future. Left Brain is pretty much a god, all his beats are just flawless. Hodgy has the biggest vocabulary out of any rapper ive ever heard in my life, and his flow is sick. Hes very articulate. Together they pretty much just fuck shit up. I really cant put it in any better way. Last night i was browsing the web and i found out that THIS week is MellowHype week. Every day this week they release a brand new song. Its day 3 now and all 3 of the songs have been soooo dope. I love the fact that im getting new music. Plus they have a new album coming out on october 9th. heres a link to the MellowHype week songs.

The Beetles
I grew up listening to the song yellow submarine. I really enjoyed watching the Beetles movie because i got to see the kind of people they were. I never got to see any of their videos until now. To be honest I kinda forgot about the Beetles. But their music is classic, and i have much respect for it.
A$AP Rocky
A$AP Rocky is one of the greatest new artists. He produces great music and he also produces his own music videos. He was famous in England, and he also filmed one of videos there. He is also going to be in Austin on November 3rd at Fun Fun Fun. Im ordering tickets by the end of the week. Here's one of his best songs/music videos.

OFWGKTA
I started listening to this group called odd future over the summer and at this point in my life, its literally the only thing i listen to. I didn't like them very much when i first heard them, i thought they were a little to extreme. But after listening to about 20 albums by them, i was a full on fan. I was overwhelmed by the amount of music i had found by them. I mainly enjoyed listening to them because of there attitude towards life and their ridiculous lyrics. Heres the first song i started listening to by them.
Elvis
I was never really to fond of elvis. I respect him for his importance in rock and roll and his impact, but its really just not my cup of tea. I always heard his big songs on the radio but i never really looked up or got into any of his music. He was good at what he did though, i could tell that from watching his videos in class.
