Earl Sweatshirt

yeah i haven't heard all of this album so maybe the skateboard p vibe is not heavy on it

i've probably listened to this about twenty times through now, it's good.
good look with the axelrod samples too

nevermind i don't care

otm

was looking forward to this, but am also finding it a bit boring - lacking the puerile guignol and malignant mischeif of the first album (or the turns on Radical, Blackenedwhite and Earmilk). Earl's voice is still captivating, just find his manner more limited than before. Hmm, listening now and not sure that's fair, maybe it's the music - will give it more goes - still find that early OFWGKTA stuff fascinating and it's great to have a new Earl LP.

Just one thing, and he's in no way alone in this - wish he wouldn't do that thing having a go at 'the critics'. Go the MES route and NAME them - yr enemies - otherwise it's meaningless and also slightly laughable for someone so generally critically praised.

otm, but he does call out Complex specifically fwiw

ok, fair enough!

only thing i don't like about this album is RZA saying "fuck the freckles off your face bitch"

OTM. This ruins, for me, what should have been the best track on the album.

Also, second half > first half, "Chum" and "Burgundy" aside.

there's also this way that RZA has of almost pronouncing words like "freckles" like "fweckles" but he doesn't quite do it and it's this weird imaginary letter that's between "R" and "W" that only RZA knows and it sounds like shit to me

is that not a speech impediment?

his lispiness is nice when (/back when) he's rapping fast imo

everyone say the word bjork like rza

its fun

Yeah, it's really good, starting to think that Tyler's output might be the weakest of the gang.

^regardless of what you think of OFWGKTA, I think that, a couple of clear exceptions aside, is clearly the case. To what extent does his (to me fairly moribund) musical influence permeate the others' stuff?

In terms of who influences who, have no idea how OFWGKTA works, but I came to enjoy Tyler way more when he is on other people's tracks. The thing is that he doesn't seem to care that much about making music like Earl, Frank Ocean and perhaps to a lesser extent, Domo Genesis. I feel Tyler's album are there to be there, because to do what he is doing he needs to releases album. That being said, I would have been way more excited about Odd Future if it wasn't for Tyler's antics, but I can totally see how people would feel the exact opposite. It's hard to tell really.

Tyler seems to enjoy that act of <i>entertaining</i> way more than Earl and Frank do. He's not always successful at it, but I usually appreciate the effort.

doesn't he produce waaaay more of his own tracks than they do? i get the sense that he cares more about that side of it than rapping.

i thought earl produced his whole new record himself?

Actually, what Earl did on this album that I really enjoy is to keep things short. Songs like 20 Wave Caps and Sunday don't need to be longer than 2:12 and 3:26, it's really good editing. Tyler's songs just go on and on and on and there is so many of them and it's tiring.

xpost, oh I wasn't aware of that, but perhaps it explains why his output feels lukewarm compared to his big potential?

i thought earl produced his whole new record himself?

haha what?

i guess he did some beats and co-production, but he's also got samiyam, alchemist, neptunes, tyler, badbadnotgood (ugh), etc on there.

eh it said that in some review i read (under pseudonym like random black guy or something)? so yeah maybe not

He did two tracks by himself and co-produced a few others

^ this is weird btw, minimal/dirgelike/sorta lean-influenced

Earl >>>>

God this album is good

Doris was already a weird little triumph for me, I like this one even more.

is there a non-Spotify way to stream this yet?

this is really good, kind of don't care about a lot of what he's saying, but whatever

fuck it, i just bought it on itunes. okay so far, sounds like an extended status update from planet Earl.

I like how he doesn't give a fuck about going pop

if your rap handle is "Wiki" you should really be a crazy fount of random facts

LOL

i loled at that too!

Digging the hell out of this.

good subtitle too

I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside: An Album by Earl Sweatshirt

the video for grief is really something else. that's all i know.

witch house! i didn't know they had that around anymore. awesome song & video too. in the middle of watching a girl walks home alone at night, and it fits right in. also someone has seen under the skin. spooky styley.

on first contact it's interesting how little he gives a damn about contemporary trend
this feels personal and bummed out

i love this album so much. total hopelessness

This improves with each listen.

Feeling this as an album and as a reflection on my life

what's the status of odd future now? has earl kind of fallen out or grown away from them?
