Earl Sweatshirt - Sick! Album Review

[@denkokoro]

I never know what to expect from a review of an Earl Sweatshirt album.

[@baddworld]

Tbh this is just IDLSIDGO but like outside

[@iDewThis4Yu]

Cute….but no

[@iDenosis]

“YES SIRR THIS NIGGA SPITTIN” Was a meme they used as an adlib Perfect fit

[@th3m0nark]

the audio has been way too low since you guys started doing these live. this really needs fixed and it makes the videos almost unwatchable. i love you guys’ videos and hearing your opinions on albums, and hope you can fix it in the future!

[@BT30191]

Sounds fine?

[@julianserene]

@@BT30191 yeah it sounds fine but recently its been too low. When i listen to old ITMSO episodes while im at work i can hear them just fine but recently on the new stuff it's been difficult to hear them.

[@___M99]

@@BT30191 the quality is fine but I need to turn my headphones all the way up to hear it

Hearing Feefo say he’s almost 40 is wild

[@mohauntaopane4264]

The Visions beat…oh my gosh…if Earl had to rap over a trap beat, it could only feel that way..can’t stop playing that song

[@SkottiVibes]

I started to listening to y’all when I was 13 I turn 23 in April and the content has always been great and is much appreciated 💯

[@ishimwe123]

Earl got a kid, wifey and happy. That's what happened to him.

[@heemnificent]

Married man .🖤

[@erronking7783]

Damn fax

[@Grizzletopz]

What? Wife&Kid😎cool had no idea

[@ImpendingRiot83]

Leaned into the support network when he needed it most too, that’s what really helped him get back on his feet so he could get all that. Grown-ass man shit. Makes me smile to see him clawing his way out of that hole.

[@jackesposito1757]

Feefo using Rod’s future vision by speaking an Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, The Creator album produced by alchemist into existence.

[@Grizzletopz]

I love No Idols, it's dope to hear Earl & Tyler over Alchemist beats

[@hansdado]

prod krxxk

[@robertavanesovru]

From now on this is how all album reviews gonna be like? I mean live and unedited? To be honest I prefer edited video because its shorter and audio quality is much better.

[@ModestMediaTube]

No, we literally just released an edited Nas review. We’re just picking 1 piece of content to do live weekly. Sometimes it’ll be reviews, sometimes it’ll be convos, etc. It’s our way of providing more content and regularly scheduled things in 2022 for you guys.

[@josechamu240]

I agree EXCEPT, if the live format brings in more money due to the donations thing then im totally fine with this. Anything that helps DEHH im down with.

[@robertavanesovru]

@@ModestMediaTube Oh, that sounds great! Thank you so much for your response.

[@robertavanesovru]

@@josechamu240 Hard to argue with that! :)

[@aafinity396]

to @beezy, just so you know, black noi$e is from the D (detroit), and his own works are worth checking out. i recommend the oblivion album which features earl, mike, danny brown, pink siifu, bbymutha and zelooperz

[@will3pr]

I hope he does an extended version where he adds some of the leaked songs he's got out there like "Black Emperor" or "Slow Learner" those two are HEATERS!!!!

[@tedthecommenter5364]

it's possible their could be sample clearing issues, but Earl is known for performing a bunch of songs live that you'll never hear

[@ChawletMelk]

Earl played at the most recent Flog Gnaw so I'm not sure if there's any bad blood? I doubt it. Maybe not as close as they used to be, but not enemies

[@musiclifter5424]

What’s that?

[@julianserene]

Earl literally said "Glad we stayed friends" at the end of Old Friend lol definitely no beef there. Tyler posted SICK! On his IG too

[@xDEATHCRUSHx]

Black Noi$e is a fire producer from Detroit. Highly recommend his stuff

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

Sound so good thought he was The Alchemist

[@xDEATHCRUSHx]

@@theconsciousobserver6829 bro def has some Alc vibes sometimes💯, listen to his project Oblivion if u havent

[@rayz-x]

Feedback: only Feefo’s mic sounded loud and clear. The rest of the crew’s mics were off I feel. Could you please check?

[@nicholaswoollhead6830]

I think they just need padding in the room there is waayyyy too much reverb for a podcast type sound.

[@CBiscuit25]

I thought this album was a really solid follow up to SRS. You guys didn't touch on the short sub-halfhour runtime of the album too much but I'm a fan of that album pacing. Too many hip hop albums with way too much filler. SICK flows nicely track to track and Earl has been putting together albums that are great listening experiences.

[@CBiscuit25]

@out ah my bad, must have missed it. that feature of his last few albums stands out to me and I hope it continues.

[@infrared6973]

I actually cant stand all these 30 minute projects i wish they were atleast 45 minutes or an hour. I feel theyre way too short

[@drejones1636]

It’s actually a follow up to “Feet of Clay”

[@loclapm]

only issue is I wish there were like two extra tracks in the second half, maybe between Titanic & Fire In The Hole. but all the songs are great to me Surprised Beezy’s not familiar with Black Noise or Zelooperz with his detroit connections.

[@BaxBoogey22]

The audio is so low I can't even hear it on full blast. Please fix this next time

[@michealangelo2223]

Earl is talking about left brain in oldfriend especially the line where he says my brother brain we couldn't shield

[@Jerzey97]

Because it’s Earl I feel like this review is way too early. We should give this album time

[@HaaziqSilver]

It's short so I kinda see why it's early

[@krunkformula]

Earl is never too Early. He's the Early man

[@poopymcpoop9945]

Agreed, I'm still assessing.

[@poopymcpoop9945]

@@krunkformula lol

[@juliusc.8]

Shut up

[@josechamu240]

Personally this is my fav earl album. I have to relisten to SRS to be sure. I remember literally liking every other song on that ( shattered dreams, cold summers, dec 24). This was an easier listen imo, for me that also factors into the enjoyment. Im all for deep bars and artistic vision but u also need to enjoy it. To me its like a gkmc vs tpab situation, both are fire and deep but tpab aint as bumpable imo.

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

That's real because I think Earl has been coasting off the power of OF. I don't think until this point he ever had a body of work. Some good songs like Grief, but no good albums. This joint is fire

[@GateWayDrugzz]

@@theconsciousobserver6829 💀 what? “Coasting off the power of OF” is the LAST thing earl has been doing.

[@TheSeaBase]

SRS is my fave Earl project ever. It took repeated listens because I definitely was caught off guard by it. Easily my favorite tho. He has so many unreleased tracks that blow sick out of the water. So I'm just confused why he doesn't put those out. I hope we get them.

[@jacobcaudill6357]

Elucid and Billy Woods man, the most pensive, edger allen poe brained rappers i ever heard. There shot is always poetry Earl never ceases to disappoint, he is so inspiring but its like a sad shallow pool once you decode it and leaves you feeling empty except this one breathed life and the pool felt like i could swim in it.

[@JulianWyllie]

Cool review as always. I still think SRS is my favorite project by Earl and might be one of my favorite albums period. Just speaks to me in many different ways and changed my perspective on life a bit, which makes any other project hard to match. Right now I wish Sick! sounded more like Tabula Rasa throughout, but I appreciate Earl trying things that may be out of my comfort zone. My guess is Sick! will grow on me.

[@adrians4211]

Agree with this

[@milescone5644]

The zeeloopers flow killed it for me too it just felt so repetitive and substancless, but zeeloopers is good af on the injury reserves, Sunday candy and alot of his projects

[@Deadlift4chips]

Glad y’all loved the album.

[@tristanchuey]

The DOOM line was dope cause not only does it reference DOOM but with the whole sick concept and the mask situation, It all adds up nicely

[@user-xl6og4ik5o]

Y'all need to balance y'alls audio frfr lol and maybe be on the same page of wearing masks or not wearing masks :/ either way dope review as always

[@EWNP]

YESSS I WAS WAITING FOR DEHH’S TAKES

[@JayDavante]

*I don't like sh*t I don't go outside is my favorite Earl Sweatshirt project*

[@jackesposito1757]

Weefo coming back with the w’s for this season of Odd Fridays 🔥🔥🔥

[@MusicNPeace]

"Earl said he's ok with superstardom...projects become more commercial" No. Hip-Hop and the internet are so diverse, that Earl can have a lane and be all right. We have Radiohead and Flying Lotus that's still puttin' out experimental mainstream projects, so I think Earl will be good to go.

[@theromakepe4318]

I prefer if album reviews are shorter, succinct videos of about 30 minutes. I prefer hearing everyone's thoughts in a summarized back and forth convo. I also think it's cooler with the editing and FX and background music. I would rather have live videos for reactions or maybe DEHH doing a look back on albums they reviewed 10 years ago kinda thing. I think those kinds of things fit a long conversation video more. Just my thoughts.

[@ModestMediaTube]

The first half of this video (26 mins) is the review, the second half is the Superchats. As we continue these lives, the production will go up. Audio will be better, more graphics, and possibly background music. If you notice, we’re shooting these lives on two high quality cameras, which is technically already a step up in production from the edited videos where we only use one camera angle.

[@CBiscuit25]

​@@ModestMediaTube I dig this format. Y'all's conversation flows with how the review videos normally go (everyone shares initial thoughts, some back and forth, end with favorite tracks and "if you watching"), I can tell you guys have the rhythm down from how you normally film the reviews. Don't mind the lack of cuts/edits personally, and the fan interaction is cool.

[@ModestMediaTube]

@@CBiscuit25 Appreciate the positive feedback 👊🏾! We’ve been at this for over 10 years now, so I wanted to bring something new and fresh this year.

[@KIDJAAP]

nah he came out and said its all made up they was just fuckin with us .

[@gardenboydon]

The audio is hit or miss with the live reviews

[@isaiahsavoie3332]

“the cost of living high don’t cross the picket line and catch the virus,” “mad hatters cappin every line, it doesn’t matter to the ten of five, they start hackin when they can’t shrink us” “fever in the cabin i knew where we was headed, i ain’t count no blessings i sure as shit could measure” “i fill a void with this pen, feel the fear, shrill, couple stains that i couldn’t shield, my brother, brain, that we couldn’t shield, couple came couple went still, and what remain of the wolves nil” “played the shade, quite a deal, glad we stayed friends” i interpreted all these lines as potential jabs at tyler hinting that earl lost his relationship or at least it was dramatically affected by business and money and that earl may be critical of some of tyler’s behavior in process of and after getting wealth. it also kind of hints that he’s playing nice but whoever he is speaking to while they are still a “friend” earl seems hurt and distrusting

[@HaaziqSilver]

Wasn't feeling Feet Of Clay & Some Rap Songs but this was the Earl I missed
