Albums Earl Sweatshirt -- Live, Laugh, Love (Discussion Thread)

[Walt]

You should live stream yourself playing albums you think suck

I'd do numbers. Never not been able to clearly explain my opinions. The earl and billy woods cults kill me because they'll post supposedly fire bars and it'll often actually be half a bar, and it'll almost always sound less like a gem of a lyric than a fortune cookie fortune crafted by ChatGPT.

Hope he performs this one when I catch him next week. The loops

Music is weird AF right now.

You got people saying this is an instant classic. You got other people saying this is trash. Ain't no middle ground anymore.

Now, me personally, I'll probably never play this sh*t again. But that's me.

Stopped following his career after his album with the alchemist. He hasn’t evolved since FOC or SRS. People saying he brought it back is that true or more of the same

I just listened to it. It's a classic for the diehard Earl fans but to me it's alright. Exhaust and Infatutation was cool

Sounds like a refined version of SRS, maybe lacking that bit of extra sauce that made that one a classic, IMO. Second half is better than the first

I'd actually like to see Earl get on some jazz rap for real and expand the palette a bit with longer songs, work with some jazz musicians in L.A. and cook something up

clearly Earl is making music that resonates with people. I could see why people don't like his style but c'mon fortune cookie bars. People get on Earl because they feel his music feels low effort, not because he can't rap or has no bars.

what you think of this guest verse in particular?

 

[rabbid]
