[@sbobi4551]

i like it but the entire thing was already performed live so it makes this album feel a little off seeing as its 10 tracks, 1 being out as a snippet and 3 being singles. so nearly half the album was already available

9:58 Shawn uses the phrase “a birds eye point of view” to describe Earl’s album. For the Cordae review he’s gotta say it’s a “sick” album

[@ronnypooky]

except the cordae album isn't actually "sick". coming from a big cordae fan too.

[@leoparderratic]

this album to me personally felt so intoxacating and woozy, for me it's like a 9/10. the short runtime makes it super easy to get thru and it's insanely cohesive.

[@ThePokestopPapi]

💯💯💯

[@edanbarak7692]

Agreed

[@nbabackcourtmedia]

This is the first Earl album I’ve listened to and it didn’t really resonate with me, some good songs, especially 2010, but it didn’t connect with me. It just felt off the whole time

[@Shittyrapper]

@@nbabackcourtmedia i didn’t really start to like most of his stuff after 2015 until after a few relistens of each of those projects and I’m a huge earl fan. His first three projects, EARL, Doris, and I Don’t Like Shit I Don’t Go Outside, have more of a mainstream appeal while also being very unique projects which is what I came to expect from him then he released his album which is considered by most of his fans to be his best and it’s also his most experimental called Some Rap Songs and I immediately heard it and thought what the hell is this shit earl. This ain’t the fire music I was expecting from you but then I relistened to it and I realized hey this shit is pretty good and more and more relistens and suddenly it’s my favorite album of all time. His albums are so jam packed with deep poetic messages that it’s pretty much impossible to digest them on the first listen and I noticed that with SICK! as well. If you want to get into his discog I would recommend starting with his earlier stuff and working your way up and it’ll ease you into his more experimental style as they just get more and more experimental as they go. If you say listen to one of his albums twice and really take it in and you aren’t captivated by it though Earl just prolly ain’t for you and that’s alright. Everyone has their tastes.

[@nbabackcourtmedia]

@@Shittyrapper I’ll go back and check his older stuff out, I always planned to. The lyricism wasn’t the issue btw that was really nice

all those feet of clay and SRS flows are panning out wonderfully. This sounds like coming out of a depression. You aren't beaming with joy just... awake... responsive... you're soul isn't being sucked down to the floor. you're left with you're previous emotions and a strong clarity. gonna have to listen to this several times.

I think Earl is finally balancing his experimental tendencies with more tangible music for his audience to listen to.

[@lewijosh99]

There’s def more of a balance but his audience has rocked with his previous works heavy his sound is just more polished now

[@yeeyeebubba1885]

I hope he doesn’t rely to much on finding an equal balance, what made srs so good was the vulnerability and 100% himself he expressed on that album

There’s just sprinkle of greatness about Earl. Beat switches, production and lyrics wise. There’s always something you catch even after 2nd , third listen or even when you come back and listen after a few years. He may not be mainstream now but his music will stand the test of time for sure. I see older me listening to him for nostalgia and younger generations listening for solace and directions.

[@wherevinoat]

Earl such an honest and authentic artist. Everything is so him and real - l love all his recent projects. So creative and unique, he not tryna prove nothing besides him making music he wants to make while telling crazy stories with amazing lyricism

[@maximusstirnimus5210]

I honestly really like Zelooperz' weird cadence, he's great on the new injury reserve project too.

[@SolaceMusic]

i hate how people keep saying Some Rap Songs was depressing, or in Shawn's case, "dreadful." SRS is clearly an anthem of hope. The only really depressing songs are Peanut and Playing Possum.
