The SourceAug 22, 2012Overall, Odd Future's shock value rap style comes across less intense on this project. [#252, p.89]
-
MojoJul 18, 2012OFWGKTA are talented, if not as ground-breaking as they think. [Jun 2012, p.85]
-
May 16, 2012Here the stylistic plurality advances beyond likable ADHD-antics to the point where it no longer leaves the listening value unscathed.
-
UncutMay 2, 2012They're pop-culture-versed update on the Gravesiggaz, murky collective efforts like "NY (Ned Flanders)" popping with grisly imagination. [Jun 2012, p.80]
-
Apr 11, 2012Disturbing. Hilarious. Vapid. Thought-provoking. Misogynistic. Empathetic. Odd Future is all of this at once.
-
Apr 10, 2012The strength and the weakness of the Odd Future crew is that Tyler does stand out from the rest of the Wolf Gang, and in many ways.
-
Apr 5, 2012The tracks do not really flow into each other or sound good in sequence, but individually some records do shine.
-
Mar 30, 2012You can't fault the gang for wanting to let everyone from Mike G to Taco Bennett get their moment in the spotlight, but by doing so we're left with a tape that distinctly lacks cohesion. Even still, virtually every member of the group shows marked improvement here.
-
Mar 28, 2012For better or worse, OF might actually be growing up.
-
Mar 27, 2012Over the course of OF Tape Vol 2, souless-ness has curdled into banality.
-
Mar 27, 2012If The OF Tape Vol. 2 proves one thing it's that Odd Future aren't just a product of the Internet hype machine.
-
Mar 27, 2012Feet to the fire, Odd Future delivers.
-
Mar 26, 2012There are just enough bright spots to make this all worthwhile for those too old to wear BAPE.
-
Mar 26, 2012It sounds like fun; precisely what the Odd Future discography has been lacking lately.
-
Mar 26, 2012The 17 tracks that precede Oldie are a hodgepodge of styles and line-ups; they're random in an ineffective way, with crew members seemingly shoe-horned together and the songs rolled out with little thought as to how the mixtape-slash-album plays as a whole.
-
Mar 23, 2012The OF Tape Vol 2 is an excellent addition to the group's canon.
-
Mar 23, 2012Too many things happen here, from the Brick Squad-type rave-ups to Ocean's R&B laments, for it to ever sound like a truly unified, full-length group project.
-
Mar 22, 2012Hype warranted, the mystery continues, and while no kid should write "666" on their forehead before getting their driver's license, Odd Future remains a vital force in the hip-hop underground.
-
Mar 22, 2012Even though the album produces only a handful of great moments--Earl Sweatshirt's presence is still sorely missed--there's relief in knowing that everything remains raw.
-
Mar 22, 2012With razor sharp, expletive-ridden lyrics and tight beats aplenty, it's undoubtedly Odd Future's most accomplished album to date.
-
Mar 22, 2012The tape incorporates all of Odd Future's members with surprising ease (not an easy task considering all the stylistic differences at play) and pieces together the first release in over a year that'll remind people why they liked the group so much in the first place.
-
Mar 22, 2012The O.F Tape Volume 2 has a fizzy energy that elevates it above its limitations.
-
Mar 22, 2012With them, hip-hop's fun again.
-
Mar 22, 2012OF Tape, Vol. 2 works within itself, and adds another project to the growing catalog of the collective.
