Tyler, the Creator appeared at a Q&A in London this past weekend for the Converse’s Creative All Stars Series. During the conversation, Tyler broke the hearts of many Odd Future fans when asked about a possible reunion for the rap collective.
Tyler, who is the creator of the Golf le Fleur* line and a Converse ambassador took the stage to speak about his music and partnership with the brand. The conversation took an interesting turn when a fan asked him “Are we ever gonna get another Odd Future Tape?”
“9 times out of 7, no,” Tyler quickly responded. “Look I would be open to it, but I think everyone’s kind of past that. And I think some people base it off nostalgia rather than like ‘would it actually be good?’ Like you don’t always need a Bad Boys 5.”
If you were a die hard Odd Future fan growing up like I was, then this answer definitely left you disappointed. Fans have been asking the question about a possible reunion for quite some time now. Although many of the members still remain friends, the group seems to have disbanded as they are all focused on their own personal musical careers.
Tyler then goes on to explain that the mixtapes weren’t even all that amazing, and that he doesn’t think all their musical styles would align today in 2020.
“Honestly the OF tapes weren’t that good,” Tyler said. “It was just a fun time, but musically, its like, ‘Uh Coulda did better.’ But, for the time it was tight… I don’t know if the styles would will mesh much for a good cohesive thing. I don’t know if the styles would mesh much with everyone. But, who knows, this could change in six weeks.”
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, better known as OFGWKTA, or simply Odd Future, has left a huge legacy in Alt-Rap. Their music and style has left a major impact on Hip-Hop music and culture today. The rap collective has helped many of its members like Tyler, Earl Sweatshirt, Frank Ocean, Syd, and Matt Martians establish successful musical careers.
