Odd Future Records Signs Tyler, The Creator Alter-Ego “Young Ni**a”

    Odd Future Records has announced its inaugural signing, inking its first deal with a rapper named Young Ni**a.

    “While our original intent was not to sign anyone to the label we simply could not pass up the opportunity to sign somebody this talented. Young Ni**a embodies the DIY ethic and persona of Odd Future along with a commercial appeal that transcends demographics,” said the label’s publicist.

    The newest signee will release his debut single at 3 p.m. PST (6 p.m. EST) on OddFuture.com.

    (September 23)

    UPDATE: As later audio posts indicated, Young Ni**a is actually an alter-ego of Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator. OFWGKTA’s publicist and spokesperson provided a formal press release for the signing on Friday, in what Pitchform.com deems is a “Friday prank.”

    You can hear Young Ni**a’s “Come Threw Looking Clean” , produced by Tyler.

    2. That’s really his name? I’m fucking finished. There’s no way they can market him w/ a name like that. OFWGKTA, GTFOH.

    3. his name could be whatever you want

      young nitta
      young ninja
      young niffa
      young nibba
      young nixxa
      young nizza
      young nippa
      young nilla
      young nissa
      young niiia
      young nivva
      young nimma

    4. Young nigga could actually be EARL, cause if you search to find out who “Young nigga” is nothing comes up. Not even any pictures, just that odd future has signed him and that he’s suppose to be one of the most lyrical rappers. But thats it. But theres no other rapper named young nigga, if you search on google or youtube. And Odd future has to sign Earl when he gets home. That would be crazy if it is Earl.

    5. hmm maybe someone should check into these stories before they go live. “Young Nigga” sounds like Tyler the Creator rapping on the track. Except he is doing it in the style of Lil B aka Based God. This is probably just a big publicity stunt that this website and others have fallen for. In other words, yall got got! lol But you have to admire these young guys ability to generate so much attention so quickly.

    6. BELLY OF DA BEAST SAYS:

      ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL @ YALL CRYIN ASS GIRL ASS NIGGAS CRYIN LIKE BITCHES AND SHIT!! HOW THE FUCK YALL NIGGAS THOUGHT THIS NIGGA WAS SERIOUS WIT THAT “ah yea man we just signed a new artist and his name is young nigga” ROFL!!! SHOWS HOW STUPID YOU BITCH ASS LOSER ASS NIGGAS IS!! I BEEN KNOWN THIS SHIT WAS FAKE HAHA!! I BUMPED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS SONG TO PISS OFF THE NEIGHBORS BUT THEY SOME WEAK ASS CRACKERS WHO WONT DO SHIT TO ME CAUSE I BEEN DONE FUCK A PECKERWOOD UP!! ANYWAY REAL TALK THAT SHIT WAS MADE TO PISS OFF MOSTLY WHITE FOLK! I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I’M A REAL NIGGA AND I KNOW WHO GETS GOT AND WHO AINT GET GOT NIGGA! AND ALSO ITS A SUBLIMINAL DISS TO THAT FAGGOT ASS NIGGA LIL B CAUSE THAT NIGGA IS GAY AND HE A BITCH ASS NIGGA JUST LIKE YALL LOL!!

      1. So you people see what I’m saying is true! Like these weirdos actually go study a Black person so they can comment and think it’s cool and funny!

    7. I think I speak for everyone when I wish that Tyler’s dad would have stuck around so we didn’t have to put up with the constant media coverage of the black ICP

      1. Well, you think wrong. You clicked it, right? If you don’t like them, don’t click their links. I don’t fuck with ICP so when I see them in an article or link to something, I don’t view it. Easy, right?

    8. This guy’s name= EPIC FAIL

      If he really could rap, and he approached me for help, I’d tell him he’d have to change the name. He’d probably tell me to go to hell, but I could live with it.

      1. co sign that…tyler jus garbage!!! i gave em a fair chance due to all the buzz….but i jus cant vibe to it!! i cant listen to shit when all the artist is trynna do is go crazy and more outrageous than b4…thats all there music is…they trynna get “shock value” and jus be stupid n crazy…like a musical version of jackass..but not really funny

      2. I agree. Entirely.
        (;)
        That whole crew is just appealing to new comers of Hip Hop and people that don’t 9 elements of Hip Hop or never felt comfortable with the aggressive aspects of Hip Hop. I like everything from Nas to Lupe Fiasco to Killer Mike but these dudes? Don’t offer anything new. If you can’t take word play to another level then don’t buy the hype. Yes I’m being serious and believe it or not, I’m a pretty down to earth guy. Shit like this? Is just wack and pisses me off. How some wack dudes can gain so much hype and still get recognition. Lol, Necro? Tech N9ne? They all are much better than this guy, and I don’t even bump them that often, and still this guy gets hype? No way. The guy is all hype. Silly and controversial. That’s it. We’ve seen it before. That’s why people were trying to relate him to Eminem but I wasn’t buying it and the rest of Hip Hop wasn’t. Just these estranged white boys who were disenfranchised for feeling culturally deprived. Cultural deprivation is some hot button word now but if you look it at. White people, and now some suburban middle class blacks, are desensitizing the pain and suffering of oppression through trash like Wolf Gang. Hip Hop can be light hearted, it can be silly, but silliness is so general and so vague that only cleverness can keep it alive. Socio-Economic relevancy? Never dies out. So long as there is injustice there is music. But these guys? Aren’t offering anything new or anything substantial to the table. As is most mainstream artists. But to relate these guys to mainstream cats is to give them too much credits and people are so stupid that they think I’d be hyping these dudes by relating them to other whitewashed rappers. I mean to the point were people have to say some single sentence comment to keep it short simple and safe. Tyler is wack and all of his followers are wack. Dude is homoerotic and with homophobic tendencies. Has conditions of Bipolar. Plays into the racial stereotypes of coonery and bafoonery with his own twist. At the end of the day? He’s no different then the dudes he’s ragging on. He just fronts like he’s not taking this ish seriously. And I’ve seen interviews with the dude. Checked him out for like a month straight. Saw what all this hype was about and he takes himself seriously. To the point of paradoxical obsession. Which is an oxymoron given the context I put him in. I doubt any of you would catch it let alone know what a paradox is before he introduced you all to the word/concept. But the dude is wack.

    10. its actually funny to watch the idiot people on this sight, INCLUDING THE SIGHT, comment thinking this is serious. YOUNG NIGGA=TYLER, THE CREATOR
      …………. if u still havn’t caught on, ITS A JOKE!! DER-DE-DUR!?!!
      damnit… dumb shits i swear…

      1. This post has been out but the day “yo ung nigga” officially drops his song and it says that its tylers alter ego for every one to know, is the day you try and pretend your like the first genius to figure it out. Thats like watching the mayweather fight and then after seeing it bragging that you called him winning.

    11. nigga is wack sounding like lil b fuck this nigga and yea im a hater fuck my wristband n these bitch niggas tyler aint g stop it slime..fuck u dickriders bouttodefendyadickprovider## lmao this nigga is a joke he dnt make em he is one

    12. This is so damn funny lol! The game can use some extra creativity instead of trying to keep artist in a box.

    13. its a shame that people cant tell that this isnt a true artistic effort. a damn shame.

      …at least know a Little Bit about the artists your listening to/hating on

      bitch
