Earl Sweatshirt: 5 Interesting Facts About Some Rap Songs

[@Om-xt1wx]

“Riot!” is such a great ending for the album, a bittersweet triumph.

[@shufflequest]

I totally agree - Justin

[@thilogoluza5594]

@@shufflequest thanks Justin, very cool !

[@Jasper-si7xx]

It’s a beautiful send off

[@TheTurtle1100]

Pretty sure the melon used that same term lol

[@TylerDurdenIsRad]

honestly, such a dope beat I can't help trying to freestyle when it comes on

[@jadenwaters3873]

First listen: Earl you had me waiting 4 years for this unmixed b.s.?!? Second listen: it’s still unmixed but the beats are dope Third listen: okay these beats are raw as heck and the lyrics are deep. Fourth listen: Ear worm. Can’t stop listening. Beats are incredible, lyrics sensational. Earls best project. Fifth listen: Sensational.

[@FRTNK]

Jaden Waters mannn. I just can’t get passed the first listen bro. Like i feel you. But i should love it on the first or second pass 😂. I don’t like to have to force anything

[@jadenwaters3873]

FRTNK yeah I understand. It’ll grow on you in no time 😂😭

[@brandonfarr3167]

Jaden Waters yup... this summed up my emotions perfectly when listening to this😂😭😭🤦🏾‍♂️

[@jadenwaters3873]

Brandon Farr I thought this thing was absolute dumpsta when I first heard it 😂

[@SmokeVeils_66]

That’s what it is for me I’m being Deadass when I say this but I listen to this album everyday and that’s 100% honesty

[@redmolina9781]

“See the ghost of where I was, lonesome as I was.”

[@47negus]

Always hits hard

[@one_man_community]

Earl sometimes looks 30 years old. But then sometimes looks 17 or something.

[@basedtrae3373]

Hippo nothing has been more true

[@ethanplaysyt5807]

That’s fax, like in the oldie video he looks like 16 but then in like other vids he looks like he’s 35 or sum

[@darnellthankya5076]

he has an old soul, no doubt

[@cherokie2091]

EthanPlays YT cause he was dummy

[@rpd0825]

i mean he’s 25, for someone that’s been around since 2008, he’s really young

[@TruCclear]

If you don’t care about Earl’s life or wellbeing, the casual listener will not be a fan of this album. Classic nonetheless.

[@byron5451]

Trent S lol not really true my g

[@bronson9953]

If u care to know about his life and his story you will like it

[@fumblefumble99]

I cant stand mumble rap and i didnt really like this project unlike his past ones

[@WavyVaporizers]

@@fumblefumble99 was it because his rhymes and beats were ultra experimental ultra abstract or was it because the whole entire album was 21 minutes long ??

[@PimpPhilth]

@@WavyVaporizers I like mumble rap and I loved this album maybe some variety will help you

[@Carlo.WTF416]

Media gotta stop tryna pin Earl against Tyler and vice versa like they ain't BEEN supporting each other throughout the years, smdh

[@swissrivierasocialclub6106]

Too true

[@HalfDigit]

Facts

[@wittyusername9544]

Exactly. He was just with Tyler last Christmas

[@uhjacobhoward]

And you could see Tyler posting Earl’s Music on his Insta story when Some Rap Songs came out, even posting an article to his story about Earl’s Album

[@NotAwesomeGabe]

Starting drama over nothing even saying track 8 talks about his negative feelings towards Odd Future like where did you see that?

[@erickfierro3612]

Earl and Tyler are fine, no beef

[@luis-ray315]

He performed with Tyler so many times in between Idlsidgo and posted pics and ig stories with him, and he did the carnival this year and the year before they did earl wolf so it really is no beef at all

[@Just_Chizzin]

i bet it was fucking taco

[@Just_Chizzin]

@Jorge luiz Sobral Neto I was joking, I have no idea.

[@steezycheezeyfries5930]

Doubt

[@moltisanti745]

Your friends with both of them right? Like y’all the 3 amigos type shit right

[@MetaKnightXXVI]

Tyler was hyping Earl's Album before it's release, along with Frank Ocean. It seems like Earl maybe talking about someone else.

[@skrtreynolds]

MetaKnightXXVI possibly Hodgy or another exiled OF member

[@nagiiboo]

Could be Domo. Who knows?

[@uhjacobhoward]

Ancient Will™ I think Earl posted Dom’s new song on his Instagram Story so I don’t think it’s him

[@mt_300-2]

Domo produced one of the tracks on the album.

[@joeydragolic3832]

Probably hodgie

[@555tonyleon]

Earl’s song Peanut is his darkest song yet

[@valkyr3403]

I could agree with this

[@swissrivierasocialclub6106]

Forreal its hard

[@MrDavissssss]

try solace

[@sweetg3377]

Solace

[@carsmusicandclothing7066]

Solace counts as a project

[@traplover6357]

With all the things going on his life, just naming it SRS was bound to happen. Says a lot about his mental state even before listening to "Some Rap Songs"

[@akeemjames2409]

"Azucar" was by far one of the most entertaining tracks on the album for me. It's simplistic yet melodic tone makes a superb listen.

[@heronlyson9919]

RIOT Is Top 5 Best Beats Of 2018

[@shufflequest]

FACTS

[@quietman208]

listen to Riot! by Hugh Masekela, south african guitarist and the writer of the original sample

[@antoniovecchio508]

Romance Nyogu ALSO earls uncle!!

[@RYNbreh]

Top 5 beats of all time*

[@unagi4622]

its not a beat but ok

[@mememan3799]

I doubt Earl was talking about Tyler, he did a whole show with him earlier this year and it was all Old Odd Future songs. Tyler also said that they were still on good terms in 2015.

[@detumus]

Media types always trying to stir up some type of trouble when there's no sign of it..

[@Cartier-jc4ze]

Earl also perform at camp and Tyler was front row looking happy af, Earl was in the studio with Tyler when they were making flower boy

[@Mxrclxrk]

December 24 is my favorite piece of art but I truly enjoy the entire project. You have to listen to this as a whole instead of jumping around, the thoughts are separate yet congruent.

[@shufflequest]

I’m with you!

[@Narquis144]

🔥🔥🔥✊✊✊

[@YoshGotSteez23]

Allen with the pick fro !

[@bradpitt4815]

Its a classic that wont be recognized on a larger scale as a classic for at least a few years. Buts it's definitely a classic. The production itself is so out there and forward moving, yet so well done. Not to mention the way he spits over these beats. These arent easy beats to spit over, especially because they are loops, and he did it with ease. All while strongly expressing emotion through both lyrics and sound/production. Its honestly incredible.

[@Mxlerie]

my favorite track is red water not only because of his word play but because of his choice in the instrumental, you don't only hear the sadness in his voice you hear the imitation of cries and whining within the instrumental.

[@ddayskii6156]

malerie ortiz red water was the only song i didnt like

[@in9463]

malerie ortiz it samples the first section of solace, another project he did 3 years ago

[@kadenduncan1561]

ontheway! (the ending of this track is one of the most beautiful sounds i have ever heard), cold summers, and the mint are my favorite right now but with classics like this it changes every week

[@vh2577]

Kaden Duncan I agree bro and the beginning of Azucar

[@isaiaht51]

Davante Harper I agree with both of yall those are my favorites

[@rpd0825]

it feels like it would’ve been a better ending to an album, but like imagine that sound being the last sound to the last song anyone’s ever made

[@illlyrical7976]

This album literally describes my life at 23. Needed this so much. Thank you Earl 🙏🏾

[@alexrhinefield123]

The Mint, December 24th, and Veins are top three for me

[@shufflequest]

Great choices!

[@detumus]

The mint has been my drive to work in the morning song since it dropped!

[@valkyr3403]

great choices but what about Red Water?

[@MapleMilk]

Or "Reasons to Give SRS a 10"

[@akileaves2669]

MapleMilk I honestly couldn’t find any issues with the album. I find no reason not to give it a ten. It’s a love or hate situation tho, I know some people that just didn’t connect with the album at all

[@TheMantis21Official]

Bro. Hugh Masikela was a huge deal in here South Africa. His legacy will forever be remembered.

[@TheMusic209]

I usually start the album start to finish while I work and I love hearing the prgression in his life and the recent grief as well, we love you Earl.

[@bradysully5755]

Riot was my most listened to song of last year. It’s absolutely perfect

[@RetroEternal]

Ontheway!, Veins, & Azucar top 3. My favorite album of the year

[@Taffy193]

Top 3 favorite songs 1 Azucar 2 Playing possum 3 Eclipse

[@TonyisToking]

Black Zarak I love how those are not my top 3 at all. To me, that’s the sign of a classic album. When everyone can choose a favorite and they don’t coincide. I’m all about Red Water, Cold Summer, and December 24. Hoping the others will grow on me to match them.

[@jaredhenrysleep]

1 On the way! 2 Azucar 3 Shattered dreams

[@corinesims]

I fw Azucar heavy

[@Cyeoable]

Azucar gotta be in errybodys top 3 my fave rn is The Bends

[@mxxxw4529]

Cold summers, the mint, red water

[@sav7092]

Azucar, hail the 🤴🏾🙏🏾💪🏾

[@kevinbc6551]

Masekela is earls uncle??? mind bending

[@Videos5197]

Kevin BC I don’t think he was his actual uncle, just a good friend of his father’s

[@brycetrent]

I wanna hear someone break down the lyrics more...I mean I could do it, but that's a lot of work.

[@shufflequest]

Great idea!

[@MyCheese72]

Bryce Trent lyricology 101 looked at azucar in depth

[@TheEyesThrone]

I loved this album the moment it dropped, I remember hearing Nowhere2go when he dropped it as a single and it blew me away. Then some years later after not hearing it for a while I revisited it and the second Azucar came on I burst into tears man, the second the beat started. That whole album is a masterclass back to front

[@brandonnuckolls8560]

The Bends, Loosie, Veins, Azucar, Eclipse...my favorite 5

[@magnush.jensen2036]

Yall just gave me a reason to give the new album a listen!

[@euroramic]

The Mint . . the whole album has helped me with my bad times but that song in particular . . it just heals my soul .

[@paulie1873]

the fact that Earl made Playing Possum for his father and he died before listening bruises me immensely 😖

[@i.pfreely6038]

After getting into Earl’s music early this year through songs like Hive and Chum I can feel how much of his emotion Earl poured into this mastapeace

[@MrBluntafterblunt]

Cold summer is so fucking good. The whole album is

[@ArmandTheBlackRevolutionary]

this album is an instant classic to me

[@fractalwavy4784]

December 24 my favorite off the album because it's earl exuding his anger and a few negative emotions all while being insanely lyrical with on point delivery, just to make his point. You can hear that he's mad about being dissapointed for one reason or another, however he accepts that he's made mistakes and he implies that he's learned from them and is still determined to rise even higher. It's very motivational and relatable for a nigga like me

[@joejoemojo]

this video made me cry

[@darthsirius9834]

Let’s just say I wish I saw him while concerts were still a thing

[@jakek.2084]

I feel like the album title could also be a reference to Burgundy from Doris, which starts off with someone saying “Don’t nobody care about how you feel! We want raps, nigga, raps.” Earl has stated that the past year was the worst of his life, but regardless fans have still been going crazy demanding more music. The title could be Earl saying, “You want raps? Here’s some rap songs.”

[@Fowndfootage]

im jus glad he got to share it with us

[@SOLANA_music]

[@Kenpachi324]

I listen to the whole album on a daily basis but Azucar is probably my favorite song.

[@mattyb2483]

He was not talking about Tyler, or any member of OF, I’m not sure who he’s talking about but remember his father left when he was 8, he has a love/hate/grief relationship with him and it could be directed at him. Also Knxwledge is possible since they had a falling out after appearing to be so close.
