"I’ve always had a deep, almost obsession like admiration for Richard Pryor and the bullet proof confidence he exuded – especial when his routine would orbit around race relations in America. The character of Richard Pryor’s Jo Jo dancer to me, metaphorically, represents the burning of all things driven by hatred and fear.”

Shock rap at its best, these guys really know how to put a on a show. You'll either love em or think nothing of them, but these new kids (16-20 year olds) led by Tyler the Creator are known as "Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them Aall" or Odd Future for short, are really punching the rap game in the face. Self produced, self promoted and under complete creative control, these guys are blowing up quick
