Ever heard of the concept of escapism? People like listening to Kanye rap about being on top of Mt. Olympus or having a big ass pharoah chain for the same reason they like hearing Tyler rap about chopping up bitches- they're both overexaggerations in different ways. I love that OF released all of their music (up until this point) for free, but thats also the easiest way to get yourself noticed. What I'm trying to say is that you don't always have to personally relate to a song to enjoy it, sometimes THE MUSIC is great enough to get you caught up.
It's good. Not 'My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy' good or "Sir Luscious Leftfoot' good, but its still way better than most of the stuff established artists have been putting out recently. A lot of rappers burn out early, but I think Tyler and the rest of OFWGKTA will only get better. I also think Tyler is saving his best beats for when Earl is back, rightfully so.
You're right. To say brandon has bad taste is mean. Double Take is still the worst though, unless it becomes more than a devil's advocate review column.
Sleigh Bells and Yeasayer are NOT as good as you think they are.
Gorillaz, Spoon and The Black Keys on the other hand, are WAY better than you think they are.
