Jul 28, 2011BlackenedWhite is a refreshingly original album where it counts and it never gets under your skin the way Tyler's albums can.
-
Jul 29, 2011The catch-22 for MellowHype is that while their centrism certainly has its merits, their music is unlikely to convert anyone that has, at this point, already written off Odd Future. Which leaves them with a solid, fun rap album to satiate a feverish cult and a growing number of casual fans.
-
Aug 2, 2011The original mixtape is worth checking for the Sweatshirt bits alone, but this version does a better job of putting the spotlight on Mellowhype, the Odd Future crew's secret weapon.
-
Jul 18, 2011In spite of its marvelous production from Left Brain, who shares Tyler's ear for beautifully deformed grooves and Lex Luger's gift for epileptic bangers, Blackenedwhite doesn't boil over as maniacally as Goblin, and it never fully reaches that album's reckless highs.
-
Sep 6, 2011If you're not a fan of gangster rap, BlackenedWhite is unlikely to change your attitude towards the genre. But for fans, this album is definitely worth checking out.
-
Jul 3, 2012It's clearly a release intended for hardcore Odd Future fans.
-
Jul 12, 2011The reissue of BlackenedWhite comes as a missed opportunity. Odd Future followers will likely have grabbed the expanded (and notably better) version when it was available free online a few months back; newcomers to the collective's output have better entry points elsewhere in their continuously-growing catalog.
