disrespectful comparing the failure of them ASAP nikkasThat's more on Tyler being the main attraction, Earl not having much of a huge following outside the indie scene, mellowhype being underlooked, The Internet's second album flopping, and Frank Ocean not embracing his potential to be the GOAT.
A whole lot of fumbles sadly, but in the end it was all Tyler
the scoreboard isn't remotely close, mellowhype/Mike g/domo are the only ones who make sense.everyone else was way more successful and for damn sure put out more projects than Ferg that had motion
Tyler was the ONLY one out of that group who genuinely wanted/still wants famous attention, so he operates in the mainstream space, Frank/Earl/Internet never showed interest beyond wanting certain collabs, but you're comparing everyone to Tyler's standard he set for himself
it's 2025 and y'all still ignore the fact everyone isn't aiming for the same goal
they've all been on the same time since the very beginning and been vocal about it. Let's actually look at how things played outYour Internet take is plain wrong, 2nd album Mac Miller put them on display for the world and they started getting recognized outside of OF, that's when they had the most energy behind them and music greats started mentioning them, idk what expectations you had for it to be a flop, it you wanna say commercially cool, but culture wise nah that was their come up moment
3rd album they got a Grammy nomination, how did that happen when by your timeline they had already fumbled?
cmon koalabrehTheir momentum got fukked up because after that all of them nikkas went and did solo projects with different sounds so the fanbases got split and disjointed. Steve Lacy took off, Syd preferred running the studio they built and writing/producing for other, bigger artists (beyonce, Glover, etc.) so it died down by the time the 4th album came
Frank Ocean is on D'Angelo time, unless he puts out a project and it flops we can't put a flat top on him
no idea why you even mentioned his name considering he pulled the biggest major label finesse of the last 20 years on his last one, that just sounds like you're a fan and arbitrarily put him on a clockThere isn't a single rap goat that doesn't know who Earl is, that man had a kid and decided he'd rather rap in the cut over dusty beats in like doom and live a regular life,
Oh and the OTHER half of nikkas that don't make music are currently in film working on major shows
Nakel still sponsored for skating and fashion brands, Sage quit photography and actually turned into a successful unground rapperIt is not close at all holy shyt
don't ever compare those two groups again
Reminds me of when Cordae dropped YBN from his name. Haven't heard from anyone else since.

Bought it this morning, drive it like I stole it
Yams was an industry dude and he put the group together.
Everyone got what they needed and could get. The point wasn’t to stay a group forever. It was for them to get on.
Odd Future same way. Clancy, another industry dude, put them together. They did what they had to do to get on their career paths.

Yeah, Odd Future might have a case as the most successful collective because they did it in different genres. Tyler took the homies who didn't even rap and made them big. Lucas has a job with Supreme, Lionel has a big role on an award winning show, Taco became a big name DJ/an actor on another acclaimed show.
Oh yeah, Hodgy knocking down Nelly Furtado
the only mellowhype song i remember has a chorus that goes something like "WHERE YOUR GRANDMA AT? bytch WILL GET fukkED UP TOO"That's more on Tyler being the main attraction, Earl not having much of a huge following outside the indie scene, mellowhype being underlooked, The Internet's second album flopping, and Frank Ocean not embracing his potential to be the GOAT.
