Odd Future Delivers a Contrarian Christmas Message

Seeing as they seem to hate everything, it’s not surprising that Internet famous rap crew Odd Future’s addition to the holiday-music canon would be a song called “Fuck This Christmas.†Continuing to channel the spirit of early Eminem — complete with tried-and-true sure-to-offend trademarks like dropping the F-word early and often, and sketching out detailed scenes of grisly violence, plus all brand-news ones like threatening to sodomize a beloved sci-fi character (you’ll have to listen to find out who!) — the crew stays bluntly on message over a plodding near-nothing beat and a pitchy-on-purpose chorus. It’s unclear whether lines like “I drunk a fifth of eggnog / stole Santa’s reindeer / joy rolled the North pole†and “burn some Christmas trees with large amounts of thick snow†and “No more presents / no more cranberry sauce†are supposed to be funny or ominous or both, but no matter how you take them, they’re sure to not get you in the Christmas spirit. Also unclear: Is it this Christmas in particular that’s bothering Odd Future, or the tradition as a whole?
