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.

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.

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.

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.
― Evan R, Thursday, 30 April 2015 13:48 (eight years ago) link
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.
