""Fuck Robert Glasper" says BBNG" “Fuck Robert Glasper,” laughs Tavares, half-seriously. “He’s doing well in jazz, but he’s into this ‘real hip-hop, fuck Lil Wayne’ type thing. He’s stuck in 1990. The key to making good music is having an open mind.”

So if I skim read that article right, this Tavares kid is trying to throw snarky shade at Glasper and the SLTS cover by hyping his group's cover of Odd Future's AssMilk, actually I have no idea what the fuck this group is talking about. All he got was a raised eyebrow and a " who the fuck are they " response by a Canadian magazine, whoopty fuckindoo. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

Ahh,Odd Future,that expalins it. Seems like all they do is go around saying stupid shit. MC Lyte just shot back @ them intelligently about a remark they made about her in 1 of their songs. Silly stupid immature shit.

Do they ever go after hip-hop's 1% -- Jay-Z, Kanye, Weezy, Em, Drake, et al?
If not, then they're just pretending to be edgy. Plus, I've heard some of their stuff. Don't get the hype. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Not that I know of because I know if they did, Jay-Z, Wayne and 'em would have their diss record ready. They'd get blackballed from the industry if they did that. | |

MC Lyte Responds To Tyler, The Creator's "Dykes" Diss And Discusses Her Motivational Memoir In an approach foreign to most controversy courting rappers, Hip Hop’s Madame Royale respectfully responded to the recent usage of her name in what she deemed an “irresponsible” manner by Tyler, The Creator. In a refreshingly mature manner, without sonning someone young enough to be her son, Lyte addressed the Odd Future front-man’s line, “Let’s get it poppin’ like MC Lyte around some dykes,” on “Rella” (from the Loiter Squad’s just-released The OF Tape Vol. 2) and explained why “my intelligence was insulted more than my feelings were actually hurt” by Tyler’s joke-making at her expense. DX: This next question I just have to forewarn is a much, much heavier one. It’s about another relative new-jack, this one male: Tyler, The Creator from Odd Future. For the first leak from Odd Future’s new album, “Rella,” Tyler rhymes, “Let’s get it poppin’ like MC Lyte around some dykes.” MC Lyte: Right, I heard about this. DX: Were you personally offended by the 21-year-old’s alluding to the rumors? MC Lyte: Yeah, I definitely was insulted. First off, it’s totally new school. [Tyler, The Creator] has yet to understand [that] although he can have quite a bit of followers and fans, it does take a moment from one’s entry in the business for them to really understand what it is that we do for other people. And how we inspire them, and how we influence them, and how we can literally make or break another human being’s day. And with all that I’ve done throughout my years in inspiring generations of people, I think it very irresponsible of him. With saying that, we do have a generation that is quite irresponsible when it comes to what it is that they’ll say [and] their behavior. [But still], it took me by surprise. One, because I know of people who know him and kind of hold him in high esteem. [But] from that action alone, I don’t know that I feel it worthy for me to address it in any other format, outside of this. But, yeah, I thought it was very careless. DX: Well this isn’t in Tyler’s defense but I just wanna note that Odd Future has an openly lesbian member, Syd The Kyd, and Tyler has previously stated that he’s not homophobic. So I think your name kinda just got used as the butt of a joke – that it wasn’t an attack, just tactless. MC Lyte: Well, the point is just ‘cause words rhyme or sound alike doesn’t mean I need to be your stomping ground. So I do have to take it personally, unfortunately whether he meant it personally or not. I’m sure there was a more tactful way, if in fact skilled, you can deliver a rhyme on your own account and not involve me in the shenanigans. And I am aware of that member of their group, and kudos to her. But … why didn’t he say her? [Laughs] Like, don’t use me! But, it is what it is. I’ve actually had worse said about me, so … my intelligence was insulted more than my feelings were actually hurt. http://www.hiphopdx.com/m...p;id=19101 | |

Frank Ocean And The Eagles' Don Henley: Odd Future Member Caught In 'Hotel California' Dispute Up and coming singer Frank Ocean may be learning the hard way that the flattery of imitation doesn't get you everywhere in the music industry. Ocean's song, "American Wedding" off his free mixtape nostalgia, ULTRA is a reworking of The Eagles' 1977 song "Hotel California," and Warner Music Group isn't too happy about the unlicensed re-appropriation. According to Ocean's tumblr, he was told he would be sued if he ever performed the song live again (CAUTION: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE): He (They) threatened to sue if I perform it again. I think that’s fuckin awesome. I guess if I play it at coachella it’ll cost me a couple hundred racks. If I don’t show up to court, it’ll be a judgement against me & will probably show up on my credit report. Oh well. I try to buy my shit cash anyway. They also asked that I release a statement expressing my admiration for Mr. Henley, along with my assistance pulling it off the web as much as possible. Shit’s weird. Ain’t this guy rich as fuck? Why sue the new guy? I didn’t make a dime off that song. I released it for free. If anything I’m paying homage. Though nostalgia, ULTRA was released over a year ago, the legal trouble appears to have only surfaced last week. A representative for Henley said that it was neither his client nor The Eagles who threatened legal action, but the label which owns the master track. Here's a portion of Larry Solter's response, as sent to the Los Angeles Times: Frank Ocean did not merely “sample” a portion of the Eagles’ Hotel California; he took the whole master track, plus the song’s existing melody, and replaced the lyrics with his own. This is not creative, let alone “intimidating.” It’s illegal. For the record, Don Henley has not threatened or instituted any legal action against Frank Ocean, although the Eagles are now considering whether they should. The Huffington Post reached out to Ocean's publicist, who told us that he had no comment on the matter. Ocean is signed to Def Jam, though he released nostalgia, ULTRA for free on his blog. Billboard reported that YouTube either pulled videos or muted the audio on any posted version of the song, live or otherwise. Ocean is a part of rap collective Odd Future, serving as the group's sole true singer. Tyler, the Creator is Odd Future's de facto leader, and he took to Twitter to defend Ocean in his typically brash manner (CAUTION: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE): http://www.huffingtonpost...19167.html | |

^ Well if he took the whole master track, sue him for all he's got. Fuck that. | |
