Review: Odd Future / Columbus, Ohio / 9-12

I went and saw Odd Future last week in Columbus.  The picture above has Odd Future performing with a 12 year-old kid onstage they brought up from the crowd. Now, I cannot say that I would advocate bringing a 12 year-old anywhere but he is pretty symbolic of Odd Future’s success. I do not buy underage people booze at the store when they stop me and and say, “hey will you buy me some booze?” I say “you should find Walmart edited versions of Boots Riley songs.”

But I will say 7th grade for me was Slayer & gangsta rap.

Action Bronson will be in Columbus, October 12th @ Skullys. I do not think he will feed you but he will probably smoke weed and carry drunk women is my guess. We are a smaller market.

Video: VICE Says This “Larry Zonka” Freestyle is Why They Signed Action Bronson

YouTube Preview Image

 Vice sent out this video because they ate steaks with Action Bronson at Peter Lugers and then went to one his shows that had something to do with Converse Rubbertracks at the Williamsburg Music Hall after they signed him..   Noisey is dropping a video for Bird on the Wire  from that show tomorrow. And I guess they were so stoked that after murdering the crowd that Bronson did this that they unbuttoned their top button and got fronted a bag of cocaine because they felt they had made a good rap investment. Well, the press release said nothing about cocaine or their pants. But I gotta keep it sexy.

Action Bronson is playing Skully’s in Columbus, Ohio on October 12th.
