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?

I'm going to have to listen to this cos that album title is amazing

it's so much better than Doris.

sounds like it:

Time damaging my ties
Who turn to get up? Get dude turned to dinner quick
You circus niggas, you turning into tricks
I was making waves, you was surfing in 'em
Dealing with the stomach pains just from birthing niggas' shit
Cut the grass off the surface
Pray the lawnmower blade catch the back of a serpent, nigga, shit
Bitch

ouch

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)

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
