Apparently, some of the students that go to my school, they hate that I smoke.
I’ve been fighting with people for a while now about the fact that I smoke Marijuana,
and to be honest, its been making me feel reclusive.

Wow. What a fucking cunt. @ryanbassil made me take down the article about @fucktyler eventhough I gave credit and links to original site

THE CONSPIRACY THEORIST’S GUIDE TO TYLER, THE CREATOR’S ‘WOLF’ TRILOGY

By Ryan Bassil Last week, Tyler, the Creator’s new record _WOLF_ leaked. Since Tyler has made a quarter of a million off socks, and I’m a stay-at-home slacker who gets paid to have an opinion, I decided to have a listen. It was a bank holiday weekend, so my girlfriend and I bought some pizza, turned the heating on, and pressed play on our (read: my) iTunes account. “It sounds pretty good,” we said. _WOLF_ represents a mellow and pretty Tyler, bike-riding through the pastel colored fields of summer love, we thought. But what happened next, we could not comprehend. Aimlessly flirting through the black-hole of YouTube, searching for _that _video of Forest Whitaker giving the G.O.A.T Oscar speech, we came across the video for “Sam (Is Dead).” Then, everything clicked into place. Since listening to “Sam (Is Dead),” re-listening through _BASTARD, GOBLIN _and _WOLF _on the walk to Sainsburys, and trekking through a Google Chrome sahara of forums, I’ve come to an audacious conclusion. Within the WOLF trilogy—_BASTARD, GOBLIN_, and_ WOLF_—Tyler, the Creator has created a directorial story-telling masterpiece. In fact, I’d go as far to say that he’s created the best multi-faceted storyline since Slim Shady told me to go and stick nine-inch nails into each one of my eyelids. Let’s lay it out. But first, for all you Internet-users… _TL; DR: _WOLF_ is the prequel to _BASTARD_ and _GOBLIN_. “Sam (Is Dead)” is the culmination of the narration so far. In the music video for “Sam (Is Dead),” Wolf kills everyone off except Earl. The story will end in 2015 with the release of _EARLWOLF_? (Source: Tyler’s Formspring)_ Now, for all you long-form savorers. Without getting too Rap Genius, let’s get into it. Since the beginning, Tyler has philandered with alter-egos. He’s laid them out for us several times in the past. There’s Tyler (obviously), Wolf Haley, Dr TC, Ace the Creator, Tron Cat, and, on _WOLF_, we’re introduced properly to Sam. “_I’m Wolf, Tyler put this fucking knife in my hand / I’m Wolf, Ace gon’ put that fucking hole in my head / And I’m Wolf, that was me who shoved the cock in your bitch.”_ - _Yonkers_ Looking past the cultural references, the trilogy goes, in terms of narrative chronology, as follows. _WOLF_,_BASTARD_ and _GOBLIN_. First, without any music or lyrical bias, the cover art for _WOLF_ suggests that the record has a a reminiscent theme, with Tyler looking back at images of a younger version of himself, so I’mma go right ahead and put it at the beginning. WOLF The record starts with the title track, “Wolf,” in which Tyler is introduced to Sam, who has been at Camp Flog Gnaw for a while. Tyler appears to have been sent to Camp Flog Gnaw to deal with the loss of his grandmother (“Jamba”) and his inability to contact his father (“Answer,” which is beautiful in a floating-around-in-a-haze-bubble-with-R.-Kelly kind of way) suggesting that Camp Flog Gnaw may be a misnomer for the therapy and asylum sessions set out on _BASTARD_ and _GOBLIN_, respectively. When Tyler meets Sam, Samuel is brash and tells Tyler to “stay the fuck out of his way.” The two then enter a tumultuous relationship throughout the trilogy, battling for the love of Sam’s girlfriend, Salem. Specific characters lead the narrative of certain songs. On “Awkward,” Sam and Salem talk about how they met and fell in love. On “Slater,” Salem rides on the handlebars of Sam’s bike, while Frank Ocean pisses Sam off by bullying him for talking to a piece of scrap metal on wheels. Sam continues through the album, angrily rapping about how he sells blow (Y U Mad, bro?) while Tyler battles through father and fame problems (“Answer” and “Colossus“—Tyler’s ”Stan” moment). On “Partyisntover / Campire / Bimmer,” Tyler starts to hit on Salem. He asks her to “take a chance with a nigga, like me,” and when Sam goes out on a drug run on “Bimmer,” Tyler tells Salem how her “man got a lame impala.” Sam comes back at the end of the track and is pretty pissed off because Tyler has taken Salem down to the lake, a location referenced on _GOBLIN_ track “Analog.” In the video for “IFHY”, the description reads: _Wolf Performs Sam’s Song, Sam Performs Wolf’s Song._ This suggests that Sam wrote the song “IFHY” directed toward Tyler and Salem, because Tyler “shoved his cock [in Sam’s] bitch” (as referenced in “Yonkers”). At the end of the track, Tyler asks Salem, “Why is Samuel such a fucking dick?” to which she replies, “He isn’t such a badass actually, he’s only here because he ran away, because some shit happened back home.” The “shit” gets delved into like doctors playing operation on PCP with “Pigs” as Sam murders a bunch of people. Tyler recruits Earl and Domo on “Rusty” to help him fight Sam, and on “Trashwang,” they go to war. The album ends with Tyler getting sent to Dr. TC for getting caught masturbating on “Tamale.” On the last track, Tyler raps, “Fuck that nigga, Sammy. If I seen that nigga, I would have killed him.” If you’re at camp, talking about murder probably isn’t a good idea. It’s probably the reason Tyler got sent into deeper therapy, which brings us right back round to _BASTARD_ and _GOBLIN_. Now, are you keeping up? Are you confused? Do you need a drink? How about this video of Forest Whitaker that I mentioned earlier ? Take a break. Watch it. SPOILER ALERT: He makes Will Smith cry. BASTARD Welcome back. We’re here at the first album, which in terms of storyline, comes straight after _WOLF._ It’s important to remember here that Tyler talking dirt on NahRight, 2DopeBoyz et cetera has nothing to do with the storyline. It’s just fun. The storyline starts here with Dr TC meeting Tyler for therapy after he threatened to kill Sam at the end of _WOLF_. Dr TC tells Tyler that there will be three sessions—_BASTARD_, _GOBLIN_, and maybe _EARLWOLF_? Tyler talks about a girl called Sarah, which “isn’t her fuckin’ name, [Tyler] just think this shit is clever.” Is “Sarah” Salem? On “Sarah,” it’s apparent that Tyler will never get over Salem. He says that she tried to play him like a dummy, by fucking around with Sam. For the rest of _BASTARD_, Tyler’s already futile relationship with his father goes into overdrive (“Seven”). On“Pigs Fly,” it seems that Sam makes an appearance. A guy talks about selling dope, how he went through a sociopathic phase, and how he’s battling half of his mental, continuing the characters narrative from _WOLF_. If that isn’t enough, the name suggests that it’s Sam’s apology for the murders that he committed on “Pigs.” At the end of _BASTARD_, Tyler graduates from school, but he’s still hella pissed at his father, threatening to shoot him. This sets up the asylum scenario for _GOBLIN_. Does this make sense? Tyler is still mad at Sam for what happened on _WOLF_. He’s also reeling from the absence of his father. He and Sam are still fighting over Salem. Tyler threatens to shoot his father and gets sent into yet deeper therapy sessions. GOBLIN THIS photo. Hear that? That’s the sound of a thousand girls dropping their panties and a hoard of teenage boys picking up snap backs and tattooing newfound “motives” under their eyelids. Anyway… _GOBLIN_ starts straight after _BASTARD_ with Dr. TC telling Tyler that he wouldn’t ever shoot anyone. Tyler doesn’t agree and goes into a brash, six-minute stream-of-consciousness telling everything and everyone to fuck off. The lyrics of “Her” cross reference_ WOLF_ track, “Awkward.” On “Her” Tyler talks about a girl whose name is his password. He seems to be stating that Sam is out of the picture, but by the end of the track they get back together. On “Awkward”—a track by Sam—Sam states that Salem’s name is “still his password.” Although continuity is broken in the story, like those really good bits in _Fight Club_, it’s clear that Sam and Tyler are the same person. Like I mentioned earlier, Tyler has a bunch of alter-egos. Following up from “Her,” Sam calls out to Tyler’s crew on “Sandwitches.” _“They are them… and we are us. Kill them. All.”_ _“Who the fuck invited Mr. ‘I don’t give a fuck’ who cries about his Daddy in a blog because his music sucks.”_ Sam’s fucked up, bong-huffing, anti-establishment persona peppers the track, while Tyler urges people to “listen deeper to the music.” Tyler, baby. I’m listening. Because frankly, the ocean is deep and I’ve dived in. “Analog” returns back to the summertime scene that takes place after “Bimmer,” when Tyler takes Salem down to “the lake.” Summer never has to end with Tyler. But it did, because Sam, Tyler’s fucked up alter-ego, stole Salem back. At the end of the record, Dr. TC brings some of Tyler’s friends to speak to him because they’re worried about their angsty little friend (“Window”). At the end of the track, Tyler shoots them all. Taco and Jasper Dolphin survive, because they didn’t turn up. Could that be why they’re the only two joining Tyler on his recent tour? Earl Sweatshirt also survives, because he wasn’t around at the time of _GOBLIN_. Tyler mentions him frequently in the narrative, which, though amazingly unplanned, ties into the real life Samoa scenario. This supports the theory that the next record could be _EARLWOLF_. The album concludes with Tyler trying to break out of the _GOBLIN_ asylum, but Dr. TC confides in Tyler that they’re the same person: “See Tyler, I’m your conscience. I’m Tron Cat, I’m Ace, I’m Wolf Haley, I’m… (Me).” This confirms that all the other characters are alter-egos. Are you keeping up? To recap: since _BASTARD_, Tyler has lost his mind. In the same way, because they’re the same person, so has Sam. Tyler’s alter egos, Tron Cat and Ace, start to take over, which end in him eventually killing his friends. The album ends with Tyler realizing that he has a bunch of multiple personalities controlling his life and he wants to rid himself of them. How are you doing? Do you understand so far? I know it’s hard. Let me hold your hand through to the final installment in the story, “Sam (Is Dead).” SAM (IS DEAD) You really have to admire Tyler’s creative output. This video, “Yonkers,” “IFHY,” and “Domo 23” are all vastly different, but also equally brilliant. You can’t fault Wolf Haley’s ideas. Anyway, in “Sam (Is Dead),” Tyler matures and kills off his alter-egos. At the end, we see him shooting himself three times, leaving three dead Tylers on the floor. The track title suggests that Tyler has already killed Sam. The three Tylers on the floor seem to represent Ace, Tron Cat, and Wolf Haley. This leaves us missing the middle part of the story. After _GOBLIN_, but before “Sam (Is Dead),” Sam was murdered. How did this happen? The only members of Odd Future to survive after _GOBLIN_ are Tyler, Earl, Jasper, and Taco. This suggests that the next album almost _HAS _to be his long awaited collaboration with Earl._ _Will _EARLWOLF_ have the answers? Have I read into this _waaay _too much? Probably. CONCLUSION The story obviously has a bunch of flaws. But what’d you expect? This is the_ Fight Club_ of music. The_ Donnie Darko_ of hip-hop. The_ Requiem for a Dream_ love story. It’s fucking confusing, but also amazing. In the same way that, when Eminem waxed lyrical about impregnating Spice Girls and a population recoiled because they didn’t understand it, the BBC Newsnights of the modern age tackled Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All *Expletive Expletive* and berated them for their angst-ridden service. But, just like Eminem, it’s clear that there’s more to the portrait than the paint on the canvas. Tyler’s music isn’t simply surface “fuck everything” water; instead, down in the depths, a stronger undercurrent flows through a story. My theory is probably far from the truth, but it’s evident that Tyler has a well-thought-out storyline playing out. Or, maybe Tyler is just fucking with us. Either way… Roll on, 2015.

#NowPlaying: Tyler, The Creator - Analog 2 (feat. Frank Ocean & Syd) - if you listen to the song “She” off of Goblin then listen to this song, then listen to “Slater” off of Wolf - they all make a story.

So, it looks like I won't be using my Posterous Blog anymore.

Unfortunately, I won’t be using my Posterous blog anymore due to them closing down on the 30th.
So, I’m importing everything over to this blog now.
Yeah… not really liking the change, but whatever. A blog is a blog and whomever reads it, reads it. http://dlvr.it/3FkwdR

Lol, On top of that, the same girls who strip online are the same ones saying "I found my soulmate" but yet you want to expose yourself? Again, pathetic.

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:45:50 -0700

I'm sorry, I don't like girls who expose themselves for attention and other bullshit. If you feel like stripping on your blog - you're not doing too much different than that of stripping in real life. Pathetic.

This is the song to my poem.

[Frank Ocean]: I, just, wanna, ride… my bike

Slater, Slater, Slater x2

My girl’s on my handlebars, hair blowin’ in the wind

———————

I, just, wanna, ride.. my bike

Not trying to think about all the excess

People wonder why I spark up;

Just to relieve my stress

Can you blame me? My mind is a fucking mess

Little obsessions: Am I going to progress?

Am I making a good impression? or do I really exist?

Depression hitting me like a train - a one way express

And I swear, I just wanna ride my bike, with you on my handlebars

We can ride off into the night and watch the shooting stars

Is it too much to ask what you think of me? Or am I just left in mystery?

Shroaded in darkness like sunglasses sitting on my face,

Raindrops on my windows like tears were in a race.

Just trying to maintain like everyone else
