Earl Sweatshirt

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?

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
dunno what to make of this

it's awesome is what i make of it

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?

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
