Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats - TANGGOLF

I've been a bit on the fence about the whole Odd Future surge lately. I must admit I'm a bit of a neophyte and am still scratching the surface of the OFWGKTA catalogue, only first discovering the OMGWTFBBQ-esque acronym while on a recent (and ongoing) Das Racist kick. While I think the collective is pretty brilliant from what I've heard so far, I have problems with them. Technically, most of them are damn gifted, and they have the viral thing down like nobody before. The problem is, even the best among them (Earl Sweatshirt) are capable of spitting truly heinous shit that I sometimes find hard to listen to, even as it flows incredibly over Tyler's handiwork. Call me old-fashioned, but rape lyrics will always make me cringe.
Nevertheless, I can't help but listen to a lot of this stuff, and I'm pretty excited for Goblin to drop later. In the meantime, the blogs have been abuzz about this track, and I am pretty sure you've seen it tossed around by the Pitchfork-loyal "we understand rap on a much deeper level than you" jive-turkey crowd. But I'm gonna agree with them here. Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats combined with the beat from 4th Chamber is a thing of beauty. I'm a sucker for anything Wu.
