Something that separates Odd Future from every other rapper right of the bat is their aesthetic sensibility.  From the devil children collages to the chaotic shopping cart fornication — the crew knows what they’re doing, sonically and visually.

So for this week’s contest, in coordination with OddFutureTalk and the Wolf Gang itself, we’re asking you to pick up the camera and show us why you’re the biggest Odd Future fan.  You don’t have to skateboard or eat cockroaches, just demonstrate how you being you deserves a copy of our special edition Tyler cover.  You’re all Creators!  Mwahzzz!

Last week’s album art contest went splendidly.  We got tons of great submissions, so here’s to another strong turnout!  5 winners will be announced next week.  Click here to submit your entry.

The rules:
1. North America only.
2. Original work!
3. Only submissions to the OddFutureTalk forums will be considered.

Turns out most of you think Tyler, the Creator‘s got this VMA in the bag.  Figures.  Congratulations to Alex and Adam, who were randomly selected!

Today, we’re giving out three copies.  The question is: which rapper said the following quote?

When I look back at myself during those years when everything was blowing up, I think maybe at first I was a little… too aggressive and loud. It was like I had this voice and I had to be heard.

People must have been wondering, “Why is this dude so angry? Is he on crack? Is he on crystal meth?” I go back and see old interviews and even now I wonder, “Why was I so hyper?”

Remember, head over to our Facebook page to answer the question.
