Odd Future to play Auckland show despite Big Day Out axing[edit]

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10764355

Controversial rap group Odd Future is set to perform in Auckland despite being removed from the New Zealand leg of the Big Day Out.

Odd Future, an 11-strong Los Angeles collective led by outspoken front man Tyler, The Creator, was axed from Auckland's Big Day Out bill on Friday after complaints were raised about the band's homophobic lyrics

The Big Day Out is set to be held on January 20, 2012 and also features Soundgarden, Kanye West, Kasabian and Foster the People

Jasper Dolphin[edit]

Jasper is another member of the odd future group. Although he is not so good in rapping. He hasn't made any albums nor mix tapes. but in Tyler the Creator's Goblin in the song Bitch suck dick, he raps for most of the song. He has also rapped in the following songs: "Tina" and "Swag Me Out". Jasper also loves Miley Cyrus (no joke).Number3145 (talk) 09:51, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Why does this article live at the abbreviation?

OK, so now it’s been “fixed,” or at least it was moved back… Now can someone tell me why this article lives at its abbreviation? If no-one objects within an arbitrary period of time, I’m moving it to Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. —Wiki Wikardo 00:24, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shenanigans[edit]

The talk page is still here because the article wasn’t even moved correctly; it looks like someone just copied the old content to Odd Future and turned OFWGKTA into a redirect. Previously L Trey had tried to get the Odd Future redirect deleted, asserting moving it to that title would be noncontroversial because that’s how they appear on iTunes, while acknowledging it’s not their “full name.” Despite subsequent comments in the edit history that felt a move to Odd Future “wouldn’t be appropriate,” the content of Odd Future and OFWGKTA were unilaterally replaced by Dougliford. Furthermore, I don’t know that WP:USC warrants or necessitates the article living at an abbreviated title, just because folks aren’t inclined to say or type out the whole thing every time.

I’d like discussion to continue here, but am willing to bring this to requested moves if need be. —Wiki Wikardo 00:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vince Staples[edit]

Why does the former article Vince Staples now redirect here even though this articel does not mention him? Meters (talk) 03:13, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is hilarious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.13.149.214 (talk) 00:11, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

EarlWolf doesn't seem to meet the general notability guideline but passes WP:BAND by virtue of being composed of two independently notable musicians. A merge here, at least until more independent sources are available and a well-referenced article can be written, seems like a good solution. Thoughts? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:59, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit/clarification needed.[edit]

The article states, " At the highly anticipated show at Webster Hall in New York City, the venue was packed to its 300 person maximum capacity." The capacity of Webster Hall, as noted on the linked Wikipedia article, is from 1400-2500 depending on the configuration. Clarification or a correction is needed. A source would help.Samtha25 (talk) 21:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Change Lucas Vercetti's title in the group[edit]

Under "Members of the group", it lists Lucas Vercetti as the manager. However, Christian Clancy is the manager of Odd Future, while Lucas manages the pop-up shop on Fairfax in California. Someone edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.103.83.201 (talk) 00:14, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some OF Shit[edit]

Should their compilation mixtape of unreleased songs "Some OF Shit" be included on here?

Got a reliable source that it is in fact an official mixtape? STATic message me! 21:26, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Pseudo-rappers'[edit]

How precisely can one be a 'psuedo-rapper'? The article refers to Jasper Dolphin and Taco Bennett as such, but doesn't define that term at all.~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.216.70.117 (talk) 05:02, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 10 January 2014[edit]

Please change 'Christopher Breaux' to 'Christopher Francis Ocean' because that is no longer his(Frank Oceans) name. source 82.42.217.51 (talk) 17:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mmmm difficult one that - the only mention of Christopher Breaux is about Frank Ocean joining the band. I'm not clear exactly when he joined the band, before or after he changed his name? If he joined the band whilst still Breaux, then what is written is correct. Arjayay (talk) 18:27, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. A more reliable source is needed to make this change. Thank you! Technical 13 (talk) 16:17, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Technical 13: Complex is definitely a reliable source and that should go without question. However, Arjayay is right in saying if he joined the band when his name was Christopher Breaux, that is what is correct. STATic message me! 18:25, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
STATicVapor, I wasn't saying that Complex as a source was unreliable, but the fact that this is only a vague passing mention made it less than reliable for this change. Technical 13 (talk) 18:32, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is the controversy?[edit]

A controversy necessarily has more than one side. When I read the controversy section in this article, I'm seeing only one side, saying that the group was censored based on lyrical content and incitement to violence (the rioter was apparently a 13-year-old girl, and the boston.com article linked to BY the cited page says nothing about Odd Future inciting her or anyone else). While there are references cited, those cited pages don't actually list the offending lyrics or statements (nor do even they appear to link to anything that does, as far as I can tell) so that side of the controversy is poorly-documented. But the other side isn't presented at all in the article. The reader is left to assume that only the group, and perhaps the organizers are on another side, and that's it. That seems unlikely. Who is the other side, and what do they say about this? Or is this not a controversy at all, but simply something that happened that everyone agrees on? 24.57.210.141 (talk) 04:28, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to add this section to the page.

Fan Culture[edit]


Free releases of their music via Tumblr and YouTube, controversial videos and outrageous live performances helped Odd Future create a subculture within Hip-Hop that pulls from skateboard culture, and speaks to a generation of young teens born into internet’s middle age [1]. Fans of Odd Future are drawn to their rebellious attitude and style, often sporting colourful socks, colourful shirts, and snapbacks, much like the collective, at shows[2]. Odd Future holds an annual carnival, called Camp Flog Gnaw, featuring carnival rides, a skate park, carnival games, merchandise, performances and a meet-and-greet, in celebration of the subculture cultivated by the collective[3]. When attending one of Tyler, The Creator's show, critic Angel Fraden defined the experience as being, ‘impossible to infiltrate the scene, absorb the culture, appreciate the senseless banter and comprehend the music as an outsider. It demands a certain kind of participation, a willingness to subsumes the wild energies and creative impuluses that permeate between Tyler and his vast legion of followers”[4].

Why don't we take the discography from the main page, and move it to a new page? Aft197

Fix the Timeline[edit]

There is someone who has destroyed the timeline of members, removing almost half the group. Please help revert the vandalism.

Dejareh[edit]

Who is Dejareh, and why was he credited as a member for a while. Also, why was he removed? Was he really in the group? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaybeItIsNotReal (talk • contribs) 20:01, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Errol Chatham[edit]

he has been described as a member in another Wikipedia page here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_Dolphin so he should either be added as a member on this page or mention of him as a member should be removed from jasper doplhins wikipedia page. im not sure what official sources say Badgerosman (talk) 11:52, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

should the hiatus be shown?[edit]

I was looking at the years active and when i went to go edit it it said "don't edit the split until there is clear proof" or along those lines. however, it feels kind of disingenuous to act as though odd future is still together: they haven't been actively working together as a group since 2015 and the last album to drop on the record label was in 2016. i know the clothing line still exists, but that is starting to die out anyways. so, i feel that although there is no exact moment when the crew broke up, i'm suggesting that in the years active section in the description should say "2007-2015 (hiatus)" or "2007-2015 (unofficial hiatus)" At mo (talk) 18:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. At least until some surprise reunion happens, like the "mini reunion" in 2018. It does feel like the gang has moved on from touring as one complete group, which is usually what "-present" would imply for me personally. -BuruRuru (talk) 05:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
coming back to this topic, if the group is in hiatus, shouldn't there be no active members of the group if the group is on hiatus? shouldn't they all be past members? even if the hiatus is unofficial, it feels odd (haha) to display active members. At mo (talk) 20:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
