No I don't feel like it
At least add this to the schedule! Essential post-samoa pre-Doris Earl verse. Dropped in 2013 but before Doris

PNL is a classic for me too. Ode to a Dream, Gurl (love Pyramid Vritra verse), Lovesong, Web of Me, Visions
Coco O. vocals fit their production so well, wish we had more collabs between them
Gurl is one of my favorite songs to listen to while tripping
This song came out around the same time:

MellowHype - Numbers
Sadly pretty weak for MellowHype, apart for a few highlights this album leans more into the mainstream sound of those years, like somebody like Wayne or Big Sean could go over these songs, and this used to be a pretty dark grim sound for OF with just a little bit of “swag”. Makes you appreciate the style of the earlier projects a bit more and it sucks that in a year where a lot of members showed development, while this sounds more defined it’s forgettable.
Fav songs: Grill, 65 / Breakfast, P2, Break.
This was when the OF money printing machine started to fall apart. Everything about the group shifted after this flop.
Domo Genesis & The Alchemist - No Idols
Domo understood the assignment!! The Alchemist is probably one of the best producers alive.
This mixtape is so underrated the samples are crazy and get Domo into this more aggressive flow. The feature list is rare: Tyler, Earl, Vince Staples, Action Bronson, Smoke DZA, Freddie Gibbs & Spaceghostpurrp, all delivered. It’s different than the usual OF sound but aged well and could might as well be a new album. Really really like it and would recommend any rap fan to check it out regardless of being an OF fan.
Fav songs: Prophecy, All Alone, Power Ballad, Till The Angels Come, No Idols.
Don't forget get to mention the Prodigy RIP
Hodgy never came close to topping this project imo. He was planning to release an Untitled LP, but for some reason it never dropped
check out Fireplace:TheNotTheOtherSide
very solid project, or even INSA (last Mellowhype project) for that vibe
The nostalgia on this one's gonna murder me
I actually thought Goblin was better on release lol

Tyler, The Creator - Wolf
I just wanna ride my bike…
Very nostalgic album for me this used to be my soundtrack of going to school and for these team fortress 2 sessions… hell yeah.
Wolf shows a lot of growth in Tyler. The production is still grimey at times but he leans more into a melodic R&B/jazz inspired sound in this album, and overall everything sounds way better composed and realized.
The concept of the album makes it feel like somewhat of a play, different than the earlier albums where it’s all about how f***ed up and dark Tyler is, it’s about him having a love triangle in a music camp and it’s a way for him involving some personal topics in and still relate to the story and concept occasionally.
This is also his best attempt at rapping so far leaning into a lot of storytelling which has been his strong suit. It’s nice to hear all the odd future rappers in the same album with legendary artists like Pharrell and Erykah Badu.
It’s not a perfect album for me I think it has flaws and not all songs are great as the highs. The concept isn’t as tight as the songs you can take out of context here. And while I like Tyler trying to rap about more serious and social topics here it doesn’t feel like his lane. I like it more when he relates stories to himself.
Still this has aged well much more than I expected with Tyler’s personality and charisma carrying this along with the new musical style and its charm and warmth (with a bit of edginess still).
Might f*** around and be a goat named Felicia!
Fav songs: Cowboy, Answer, Partyisntover/Campfire/Bimmer, IFHY, Rusty.

first time i heard Slater I melted
I agree mostly with your wolf review except id say wolf was his best song writing at that point better than his best rapping
To me I feel like his rapping on B****** was more impressive but I feel like wolf had way better written songs and hooks and song concepts
Just imo
La Bonita killed all the hype i had for this album always hated the beat
I hated that song so much man
Thread taking me back to them days man
i missed them days by like 3-4 years
I was always intrigued by what he did on youtube back then but I never opened my ears to the music
@Hndrxx_Free @YungPapi
No idols deserves all the flowers
La Bonita killed all the hype i had for this album always hated the beat
Can’t believe they shot a video for it
I remember Anthony Fantano said that song was a banger too song is ass
