Earl Sweatshirt performs "Grief" live on March 20,2015 at The Thrasher Death Match party at The Gypsy Lounge in Austin,TX.

[@Junior13113]

Earl seems to have tendencies that are similar Jimi Hendrix. Jimi was the kind of person that wanted people to just chill and LISTEN to what he was singing, saying, and playing. He wasn't a huge fan of people screaming and acting up during songs. I can tell Earl really wants his audience to just listen and enjoy during certain songs, but people wanna go to a concert to turn up as much as possible. I hope that doesn't change Earl. Artistically, he's a very sophisticated rapper.

[@marcelopena3537]

It did change him. Smh

[@Junior13113]

U rite. He made his music less turn-up-able lol but I still love his stuff.

Sooftah you think that’s bad watch the performance of pre. It’s at the same show

[@zakxby]

It's because he's serious about what he's rapping about,so he didn't mess around while performing

[@DevTheRay]

@@zakxby yeah literally talking about his grief not sure why they didn't listen the first time

[@cloverluck16]

I'm just confused about how you crowd surfing with a beat/vibe like that...

[@lordmarkquad4470]

***** Earl is always serious.

[@lordmarkquad4470]

***** He use to, when he was in OF but now he's so depressed.

[@commentmonstor7396]

What did earl expect? You're a product of a wild group called ODD FUTURE, with wild fans. You should know (at least by now) stuff like this is bound to happen at your shows.

[@tthoppin8896]

comment monstor Thats true, but just because he's the product of something like that EARL IS AN ARTIST, he made this song from the heart; and deep shit like this aint nothing you suppose to be gooning on- that happy go lucky nigga didn't listen to the lyrics! He just feed of the image of what Odd future is. They talk about real shit under all that hype, and that's why he felt like he had to address him the way he did. LOL goofy!

[@matthewnunyabusiness5085]

Hope you guys knows that Earl isn't a part of OF anymore :T

[@SbMick]

Ok, let me clear this up since there are like a 100 comments wonder how people could crowd surf to this song. When he performed this song, "I Don't Like Shit" had not yet been released. This song itself had only been out for like 3-4 days He went from his hype material directly into this song, so people were still in that 'turn up' mood and had no idea that this song didn't have that vibe.

[@thefryingpan1021]

+SbMick went to the sydney idlsidgo show and people were doing the exact same thing

[@dannieletter7275]

Thanks for the justification...

[@marcelopena3537]

Plus we can do what we want at the show. Crowd surfing isnt banned earl was just moody off pills not our fault. I stopped listening after this video too haha

[@toolie3891]

this isnt OF fuck OF I fuck with earl tho

[@XXXemoguitarheroXXX]

Victor Aabling how is it not OF?

[@devineb0y]

Johnny Athey This is obviously just earl himself

[@tobey1966]

Johnny Athey this isnt OF. Earl seems to be moving away from all of them. this is just Earl, not OF

[@XXXemoguitarheroXXX]

tobey1966 GLOku All OF is just the greater collective of artists. I see what you're saying, this is very much Earl doing his own thing but if you listen to the album, especially Wool, you'll see he still very much identifies with OF this is kinda an album I think he had to do for himself.

[@serolfnairb4859]

For those who wondering why earls music changed is because he's finally finding himself and it's a good thing

[@poppy302alpaca]

His grandmother died, also

[@yourlocalusername392]

This is one of the best rap performances I've ever seen. The energy and crowd control is insane.

[@JKMxJKM]

Earls not into that OF shit anymore haha

[@godspeed237]

Did you even hear his album? Lol

[@JKMxJKM]

Yeah man.. Its way more emotional than anything OF ever put out imo

[@godspeed237]

Ok...if you listened to "wool" the last song on his album you should know then; that earl still reps OFWGKTA its just that it isn't as much as before maybe...and only because he's been focusing on himself more

[@JKMxJKM]

Yeah I see what your saying

[@disappearingsquirrel]

mr. golfwang actually dude Wool was the first song in the album that he sat down and wrote. And in an interview he did say that the intention of that song was to be funny in a way that OF fans might recognize. However he said that after he finished that song the rest of the album wasn't funny like that first song, the rest of the album was just a true display of how he's been feeling and what he's been dealing with. This album is as far from OF as you can get and if you had listened to all of the songs off of the album you might have figured that out for yourself before saying that one song represented the whole thing.

[@JBCJackson]

lol you a lucky cameraman XD. Got earl staring directly into the camera and shit.

[@JBCJackson]

SbMick he was pointing too lool good job

[@bloodmoon1269]

gay

[@JBCJackson]

Blood Moon how the fuck is that gay? Wow people are getting dumber and dumber. Don't even reply.

[@bloodmoon1269]

How do you know I didn't mean happy, oh and I just replied. Im scared now, what will happen to me?

[@JBCJackson]

Blood Moon if you meant happy then you're stupid. how does "happy" relate to my comment? There was no context behind it and nobody uses gay for "happy" anymore... So hold that L. We all know you meant gay as in the derogatory form ie faggot. Even still theres no justified reason nor is there anything gay about my comment so you can hold that L too. Lol you replied so all of a sudden you think you're tough? Keyboard warrior alert! I was looking out for you so i wouldnt have to hand package and deliver those previous L's .... So here's a third one for you to hold. L.

[@cyclops350]

Earl not playing with these white teens no more.

[@airanipour]

I think that Thebe is strictly paired with music and music only. No crowd shit. No moshpits. Remember when trash talked was playing (i THINK it was the g-pen tour but im not sure) and thebe was just on the "balcony" looking thing not getting himself involved.

[@joelissacrye8115]

It’s almost as if this was the very moment he said to himself “they don’t even get it, what’s the point, they don’t deserve this.” Watch his eyes wander, at times, he bursts into anger, in between those times, his eyes wander, disgusted with an audience that doesn’t understand what he’s trying to do….. And to the person with the explaination about him going from hype to this….. I can tell you right now, anyone who truly understands this dude,would’ve stopped dead In their tracks and would’ve been dead silent for this one ……

I was at that show, i felt alot of ppl didnt listen to thennew album it was kinda dry at times

[@DoggyDisk]

Xavier Mcfield Yeah it was kinda hard to flow with his new shit when I didn't really have the lyrics in my head yet. Him splitting the crowd up and that dude with the crutch was awesome tho lol

[@xaviermcfield]

Lol yea it got intense when centurion came on, but he cant b to surprised like the album came out on Wednesday show on sunday like only hardcore fans goin to vibe to it, but i already knew alot of ppl were still hung up on doris and probably some good ol verses from the earl mixtape, but compared to his show last summer with mick jenkins it was kind of a disappointment in my eyes he should have had it at the metro again he didnt really feel up the concord to good to me

[@DoggyDisk]

That was my first Earl concert so that shit was cold to me. Especially Vince.

[@xaviermcfield]

Aw ok my third time seeing him performing, rite now the mick jenkins show at the metro with domo and mick jenkins had to b my fav, but u know anything bout this talk with ppl sayin he is not with OF anymore or is that ppl just talkin cuz he didnt have any OF features in the album
