It’s weird cuz every earl track has me confused at first, but after a few listens I’m in love with the production and lyrics and am pissed that he’s slept on just cuz people don’t give him a chance

[@n.e.srecords2966]

Bruh thank you god!!!!!!

[@jayshockey4886]

One issue an individual may have with this album is the mixing. However the quiet vocals, mumbling, and disorienting mixes and beats are aesthetic. This album represents what Earl has gone through the past 3 years and what it feels like to suffer from severe depression. Depression is a distorted and muffled headspace of loneliness, worthless, and suicide. This is what Earl Sweatshirt recreates so perfectly with his sound. The fact that most of this is so indirect is what makes this album so powerful. Great vid guys.

My favorite bar on this album is "Peace to every crease on your brain, peace to who came before me in the game" talking about peace of mind and giving respect to the vets. But then if you change the word peace to "piece"...levels.

[@thomasgledhill3706]

@@eldraque4695 so he says peace to every crease of your brain which alluded to finding peace of mind, but if you write it as piece to every crease of your brain, it means to put a gun (piece) to your head. Essentially saying to find peace of mind, you’d have to put a piece to your mind. The next line says “peace to who came before me in the game” giving the prior great rappers a sign of peace, but with piece to who came before me in the game, he’s saying he’s killing the game.

This album is a definite grower. This is Earl showcasing his most authentic self. It’s about growth and confronting the past and present troubles. Most of the bars are very straightforward and honest. If you listened to his Solace project then this album was the logical next step for him. The production and unorthodox flows is heavily inspired by the [sLUms] collective. This album is supposed to be scattered and lofi as this is a look into Earl’s mind/dream state. If you pay attention there are a lot of bars on here referencing water which my mean something. Idk I’m just rambling now but don’t dismiss this album as just a half assed album. This project is golden

[@jacobhartwell8211]

Chimezie Water & blood were the two biggest motifs on the project.

[@FeastTheStoic]

He's a a Pisces. Water sign. Water bending. Blood bending. The moon. All that.

[@best4businesswrestling]

the beats are like that to symbolize how he feels, Up and down, inconsistent and all over the place with his vocals drowning in the beat not really being the present (the beats are his inconsistencies and ups and downs taking over and drowning him out) but at the end the track "riot!" is just a beat and a beautiful tempo and no choppyness or ups and downs.. resembling how earl learned how to live with it and still live and enjoy life for what it is and to be gracious.

[@RayTubedusRT]

That’s a beautiful explanation

Riot doesn't have a verse but it samples his legendary uncle, Hugh Masekela who passed like 3 weeks after his dad. It's a tribute.

[@Bruno-yx9be]

Red water is one of my favorite earl songs ever. I interpret "I know I'm a king, stork on my shoulder I was sinking, I ain't know that I could leave" as Earl knowing his inner worth but still struggling with depression. Even though he's a king he was sinking into depression. And although the stork, symbolic of rebirth, is waiting on his shoulder, he did not know he could leave the place he found himself sinking into. The messsge is extremely relatable if you ever fell into a scenario you knew you were better than, but just couldn't see a way out of.

[@louissoopraya4649]

he has said in an interview after the albums release that most of the beats are composed as loops so his voice is like the main instrument and gives him breathing space to fuck around with his flow and create new cadences. hope that gives some context to the beat choice !

[@Andreravone]

He used the production to make it sound like he is drowning in depression and emotions at times but notice that some tracks do have his voice in the foreground more than others and I believe that is mainly to give the idea of clearer maybe even less saddened thoughts. This album is fire after 10,000 listens and there are still bars that I discover every listen. This makes you open your mind.

Eyy, been looking forward to this!

[@kvonsuede]

Hey guys just providing some insight on the last 3 tracks.... On Playing Possum, Earl sampled an acceptance speech from his mother Cheryl Harris and a poem from his late father Keorapetse Kgositsile and his plans were to play it for his father and hopefully reconcile their tumultuous relationship, however his father died before he was able to show it to him and that’s why the last 2 tracks were added, playing possum was supposed to be the last song on the album. At the very end of Peanut, Earl says “Fathers face, but I’m not afraid...my uncle Hugh”, referring to his uncle Hugh maskela who died within 2 weeks of Earls father dying. On Riot! Earl samples a song of the same name by his uncle and of course it’s up for interpretation but I personally feel like it’s a perfect resolve to the album, almost saying without words that even though he’s in this depressed and anxious mind state most of the time, it sounds like acceptance. Beautiful album

[@daninervo5717]

So many layers here guys! Definitely read the lyrics, no cheating because earl is a poet more than a rapper in my opinion. His father is a South African poet who he had spent some time with before he released the album, but his father had passed away before the album was finished, so a lot of this album is pure feeling and emotion. The way the beats are so random and unorthodox is because you’re in earls head, this is earls mind. It’s a constant state of unorthodox thoughts and emotions.

Earl was gonna release it to better both of these relationships, being that his dad abandoned him as a kid and him and his mom didn’t get along through his teenage years. However his father passed away before he could release the track :(. A lot of the album is about Earl dealing with his dads death and other mental health he’s been affected by. Hope this helped.

[@nitewing1121]

Playing possum features a speech by Earls mother where she thanks the people important to her, her family and children, (she specifically mentions earl). What is interesting is she mentions that she is “distracted in her attention” and thanks those around her who have allowed her to be that way so she could work on her career (or win the award i presume she is getting). Being distracted and alienated are themes that earl has in his very own music. Her speech is then contrasted by his fathers poem where he speaks about refugee children in africa. Not having homes, and moving between one chaos and broken dream after another. I find it all very moving and the song encapsulates the kind of thoughtful artist and person earl is. Its like his DNA in song format.

this album was supposed to be rly introspective, obviously way left field from his other albums. the red water track is 8 bars looped from and old track of his, december 24th is titled that bc that’s just the date he originally recorded it, playing possum is two separate recordings of his mom and dad giving speeches (his mom is an english professor and his dad was a famous poet) and the last instrumental is sampled from his uncle hugh who was a famous african jazz musician. i suggest going back and following along w the lyrics in front of yall bc as u noticed he’s super metaphor heavy, not just surface level barwork

[@JuanHernandez-dn3eq]

ALBUM EXPLANATION Earl wrote most of this album after his dad passed away. He was going through a lot, he was depressed and “drowning” .. the reason this album is very different and disoriented is so the listener can feel what he was feeling when he wrote this stuff down. Nobody understands it first listen, nobody gets it 2nd and 3rd listens too, thats normal. This album takes a few listens to grow on you. This album is really for the die hard Earl fans, we pretty much understood it after a couple of listens. But yea that explains the very unorthodox and different sound. His voice is mainly drowning in the weird music, its beautiful.

[@loganjohnson8815]

Juan Hernandez the album was finished before his father passed. Only two songs on the album were written after his father passed. Which were peanut and riot!

[@Fluffyoffspring]

Juan Hernandez how u just gon make shit up like this

[@chrisriddick7130]

A lot of this album is a direct connection from Earl to his fans. A lot of it I catch more everytime I hear it. Like when he said “to my queens keep mace, keep faith brother man” or “stable full of sheep we staying on the lamb” it’s a direct connection of thoughts and ideas he wants to get across to his fans and a story of his progression and lack of progress between his last album 2015 and this one 2018. It’s not very digestible on first listen but each time you get something new and different from it. You learn to put the beats in the background and focus more on just fragments of what he’s saying. And those little parts of a bar HIT HOME. You take something new w you everytime. Keep faith brother man!

A lot of the album is focused on his coping with the loss of his father as he references him multiple times and has a poem read by his father on playing possum. The lady on playing possum was his mother and that whole song is sort of a thank you to them. Apparently Earl was supposed to surprise his mom and dad and play it for them before the album came out but unfortunately his father passed away before he had the chance. Peanut is actually a sample from a song by his uncle who also passed away which was why he let it play out and was supposed to symbolize a sort of triumphant overcoming of their deaths with him moving forward to release the album in spite of their passing.

[@dumdude1083]

This album in a lot of ways is like earl coming to terms with who he is and why he is the way he is. He acknowledges his parents his black heritage and his musical influences with the flows he uses and the samples he takes from. most importantly though its like an auditory tour of the the mind of someone who is severely depressed and trying to deal with it.A lot of the bars are loosely connected like thoughts rushing into the mind of someone who is inebriated, while being inebriated to avoid dealing with his feelings on the trauma he experienced through his life like a bad acid trip that leaves scars on your psyche like he says on "december 24" which is a perfect song to describe the mood of the album because throughout the song he talks about using substances to get away from the loss hes suffering while the substances actually just serve to stir his thoughts about the loss and have him come to some conclusions. Its a dope album with a lot of depth. I think the best part of it is interpreting it for yourself.

It's the jazz rap. Some Rap Songs is really about the concept. Really coming to terms with himself. This tape relays his self worth and makes the audience want more.

December 24th gives me chills every time

Track 14 I think he’s talkin about Mac passing, as well as his father.. he says something along the lines of “thinkin at his grave couldn’t help but feel out of place” and then “plus my pops we sent him of and not a hour late.” Really dark track, and a dark start of the year for him.

Never too late my G

this album took me 3 times to get it all the way through. It's a beautiful project. Not an easy listen if you're used to structure

[@turnthonkee]

Y'all getting to the experimental hip-hop and I'm fucking with it. I'd encourage y'all to check for lyrics if y'all review anymore, especially something Left Field asl like Death Grips.
