Earl Sweatshirt

y'know about this thread ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL ?

ha, ian

otm tho!

I'm cool with Earl having his own thread. He stands apart from the rest of that crew IMO. They're all pretty talented, but something about Earl is mysterious and alluring. Maybe I only think that because he resembles a black Bonnie Prince Billy.

bonnie prince rapey

^ sb

i don't know fuck all about no odd gang future wolf kill them all stuff, i just got sent the video by a pal!

was top 5 in the rolling rap poll, it doesn't get any more huge than that

but yeah i'm not cool with it being its own thread bc he looks like will oldham, put it back in ofwgkta. he's on most of their records & we don't need to atomize them as soon as we discover them.

lol board sheriff.

this is what you get for not following whiney on twitter ian, for shame for shame

We should make this decision by poll! For that is truly the ILX way.

h8 polls

btw dont forget to vote in my tony hawk poll! tony hawk pro skater 1 soundtrack poll

ian ;)

yeaaah, tyler is my fave tho.

I just listened to the Earl album again after a few weeks off and holy shit, my on-again off-again relationship with hip hop is back on, big time. Between this and the new Ghostface, I'm feelin' all 1994 up in here. But seriously, damn, this album. Fuckin' perfect. Like 36 Chamberz perfect.

guys, we have a thread for this, fuck

her real name is maya arulpragasam

I wasn't board sheriffing honest! I thought you'd be interested in what people had already said. Think a separate thread makes sense tbh

Between this and the new Ghostface, I'm feelin' all 1994 up in here. But seriously, damn, this album. Fuckin' perfect. Like 36 Chamberz perfect.

i'm getting all paranoid about 77 joke concepts

hay dudes let me apologize again for having my head in the sand and not ever clicking on the 'odd future world gang kick the ball' thread. like, seriously, i should know better than to not read every ILX thread with hundreds of responses.

i think the goon cru should make a thread were ppl can apologize for not liking rap enough, or not liking the right rap, or not liking the right rap for the right reasons, or not liking the right rap for the right reasons at the right time

nah i think any thread is good for that

just canceled a bunch of shows due to illness

awesome. I have heard great things about this album already from reviewers; think it's gonna be a best of for a lot of people on this board.

listened to this like 3 times this morning, it's good

second through now, it's good.

that shirt is gorgeous

i would appreciate it if everyone just posted reviews that said, "this is good: 10/10" and there was no critical discussion whatsoever, just postings of earl eating fast food and wearing good shirts. that would be fun for a change.

Also gifs of random women named "Doris"

MAKE IT SO

Go nuts

this is good.

don't nobody care about how you feel

really stands out from the rest of that crew IMO. completely different vibe and it really works.

i like this

it's kinda cool how that somehow Odd Future makes ppl care about some weird dusted backpacker record that should be out on stone's throw

lolvwatched this 2y ago

dig this overall, but i love the vibe/beats at 523 -> Uncle Al -> Guild

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

Honestly aside from Earl and The Internet, I have little use for OF

tyler does some audible backing vocals on one song ("off top") and left brain produced one song but even the rest of the beats are all earl

i think he's clearly outgrown them (thank fucking god)

new song for his moms

dude is doing really interesting, liminal exploration right now; curious to see what his next ten years are.

been playing this for an hour, goddamn it is good.

that fire alarm chirp / lighter flick gets me every time

fuck. thank you

Right?

is he good live?

because right now he might be my third favorite rapper after chance and kendrick

I saw him about a month ago and he was pretty bad. Couldn't sustain any energy for more than a song or two, couldn't get the crowd going, didn't even really have a grasp of the basics of putting on a rap show (his DJ fucked up song cues a lot, too). Shockingly amatuerish, all around.

Didn't help that it was one of the youngest, most inhibited crowds I've ever seen at a rap show. Lots of gangly high school kids who worship this guy but expressed their reverence with silence.

sounds like an indie audience, ew

Couldn't sustain any energy for more than a song or two

found this to be true of the album tbh. dirge after dirge after dirge, a real chore to get through

i'm sure the lyrics are ~really deep thoughts but he doesn't make them sound captivating at all

the whole album is a dirge but it's potent rather than enervated. so oppressive it's tactile, blotting out the space

It's an album heard in negative

I DON'T ACT HARD I'M A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW, NIGGA

this is such a dope little album

"i don't like shit" that is

should make for a good winter album

yea it has such a sustained dark vibe

otm to the previous four posts

like this record a lot

"Grown Ups" still in my phone.

I liked that last album til Things Happened and I lost my entire saved stuff, but I was playing some loosie playlist this morn and ohoho, this stood out, my mother busted in my house midway through and we drunk coffee and ate angel cake, but I noted this one (out of the 3 I heard that day) as the one to come back to, and yeah it's awesome, maybe not if you're into Earl for the rhymes but, that loop was in my skull all afternoon, drinking coffee with my maw and trying to stay genteel.

hella ready for some new earl

“Some Rap Songs” release date 11/30. The last one has really stuck w me so hopeful for this. The beats for the two new songs he released stand out imo.

How good is it, out of ten?

I haven’t heard it, I was just talking about the last album and the two new songs (linked below)

https://youtu.be/R4caTCHR4xo

https://youtu.be/UCceUo94X1g

he released a few singles this year, you can listen to them on spotify

those are just okay

a title nakhchivan will have approved of

new album is great.

it sounds like madlib and then it doesn't

oh wow this is really interesting ! i love it so far , need to play it through a few times more today

15 tracks in 25 minutes, amazing

alb is pretty good, need a few more listens for it to totally sink in.

I had no idea that Hugh Masekela was Earl's uncle.

!!!!!! woah

yeah that was news to me as well

this album sounds good, but feels like it's going to be tricky to really dig in and digest ... like it's more sketch pad than album. or something.

Earl rules, tho

find the dude's thoughtfulness wrt his craft very inspiring

this is really good!!

This is great
So dusted and raw

interested in the standing on the corner involvement here, those dudes are amazing

really love this! have to admit that i'm a sucker for the madlibish production style anyways and Earl is such a great lyricist imo

well sht I might have to get this. I'm always irked by albums with no track > 3 mins. But usually those are like 70+mins long tho anyway!

The singles didn't grab me on first listen, but they sound better/make more sense in the context of the album as a whole. It's not really an album of "singles."

new 7 track halloween release with black phillip on the cover, sounds like offcuts from some rap songs and that suits me fine

last three tracks are all genuinely great, better than anything on some rap songs imo
