Everyone has an opinion to share, and this morning we wanted present thoughts from the group’s longtime manager, Christian Clancy.

Tyler, The Creator Gets His Mountain Dew Ad Pulled For Racism

May 1st, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Corporate racism is an interesting beast to tackle, because so much of it is subtle that you wonder if it’s actual racism. Certain prejudices and stereotypes are so deep rooted in our culture that a lot of people don’t even notice them, or understand the struggle, so that some will end up sitting around asking if something offensive is, indeed, offensive.

The advertisement Tyler, the Creator made for Mountain Dew is not one of those subtle incidents. The ad’s pretty freaking racist, in our opinion. In fairness, Tyler may not have written it; he merely created a drunk goat character …

WATCH: Tyler, The Creator Feat. Earl Sweatshirt and Domo Genesis Perform “Rusty” on ‘Letterman’

April 5th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

Last night, members of Odd Future stopped by The Late Show With David Letterman to perform the song “Rusty” from Tyler, The Creator’s new album, Wolf. 

There’s no doubt that Odd Future is a collection of entertaining personalities. During Domo Genesis’ verse, both Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, The Creator bust out an impromptu choreographed dance. Not to mention, Tyler, The Creator rapping a cappella at the end of his verse, only to drop the mic and walk off stage with the rest of Odd Future. Tyler made up for it though by coming back out, putting his arm around David

Tyler, The Creator Releases “IFHY” Video

March 29th, 2013 James Shotwell

Odd Future mastermind Tyler, The Creator has released the official video for his Pharrell assisted single, “IFHY.”

Marking the third single off Wolf to receive the video treatment thus far (fourth if you count “Bimmer), “IFHY” is a video that Tyler has been discussing at length on social networks as of late. From what we can gather, which for the record could be completely wrong because Tyler likes to play mind games, the young MC seems to have some issues with the clip but it’s unclear why. The footage finds Tyler wearing a doll costume and chasing a female doll …

March 19th, 2013 Mike Sacchetti

With consistent news starting to pile up on the rap game’s youngest rising star, Earl Sweatshirt hung out with Hot 97′s Peter Rosenberg and fellow Odd Future member, Domo Genesis, at SXSW. In the nearly 24-minute interview, the two discuss eating lunch with Andre 3000, his top 5 MC’s, Mac Miller as a producer, Tyler The Creator as a director, and much more.

The interview is a great look into the personality of Earl Sweatshirt. He comes off as a chill dude who isn’t above the hype. The Odd Future member has come a long way since his mom sent

MUSIC VIDEO: Earl Sweatshirt Ft. Tyler, the Creator – “WHOA”

March 12th, 2013 James Shotwell

It’s probably too early to call, but I am going to go out on a limb and say this may be the best song you hear (and video you see) all day. If this is your first story of the day, prepare to be wowed. If you’ve been clicking around, get ready to take things to another level.

Following the three songs we heard via fan footage from a last week, the internet has finally been graced with the visuals for Earl Sweatshirt’s new single, “WHOA.”

Taken from his forthcoming album Doris, “WHOA” pairs Sweatshirt with Odd Future mastermind …

The rapper recently appeared (with Odd Future members Taco and Jasper in tow) on Shade 45′s Sway In The Morning SiriusXM radio show to drop a few rhymes and to talk shop about his upcoming full length Wolf. All in all, it was a pretty comedic affair.

Some of the highlights:

WATCH: Tyler, the Creator On Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

February 27th, 2013 Jacob Tender

In 2011, Tyler, the Creator made his television début on the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon program. It was a memorable show. Tyler and Hodgy Beats performed “Sandwiches,” assaulted the night’s guests, and afterwards, Jimmy Fallon gave Ace an impromptu piggy back ride through the credits.

This time, Tyler scaled things back a bit. Manning the piano for half of his performance, he debuted “TreeHome” which will appear on his forthcoming record Wolf along with “Domo23″ which was also performed on the program.

If you missed the show like you do every night, you can watch the performance below. Wolf…

This was announced this evening along with tour dates, album art, and the release date for his upcoming album, Wolf, dropping April 2.

The video for “Domo23″ was, of course, directed by Ace himself, filmed by Luis Ponch, and produced by Tara Razavi.

The video is basically just Tyler getting his ass kicked in the ring with Domo Genesis while Earl Sweatshirt refs and the rest of the Odd Future crew watches on. If you listen through to the end, you’ll …

WATCH: Childish Gambino Takes A Vampiric Turn On ‘Adventure Time’

January 25th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor

OMG.

Actor Donald Glover (better known in some circles by his hip-hop nom de guerre Childish Gambino) is no stranger to voice over work for Cartoon Network. A few months back he made an appearance alongside Tyler, The Creator, as a cohort of a team of rap meanies on the animated slacker comedy that’s ostensibly for kids, Regular Show.

Now Glover is lending his talents to another ‘toon with surprisingly adult appeal, Adventure Time. Starring alongside fellow guest Neil Patrick Harris, Glover will appear in the upcoming episode “Adventure Time with Fiona and Cake – …
