as a ahem *hiphop head* here, when it comes to top five fave hiphop albums sly tendencies' (aka earl sweatshirt's) kitchen cutlery is still def on that list- esp when it comes to wordplay, esp taking into account he was 14-16 whilst recording, discuss? am i the only one still fangirling over earl?

Young earl was the best earl honestly. Before he was too ashamed to have fun and make dumb, ignorant lyrics. Now he's wasting his talent and becoming a boring whiny mf doom lite and acting like xanax is cool, even production wise.

yooo. i feel that. it seems like he was way more open to going off the cuff n going all in with the naughty lyricism (all the while sticking to OF's, for lack of a better term, 'horrorcore' mentality) for more self indulged shit, kinda understandable for what he's been through after going to samoa but eh
i'm another OP on a Korean fashion sew-n-go board

that being said, i'm a diehard Earl fan forreal. I remember hearing Earl for the first time in 2010 after gettin into tyler n all that and flippin a tit over their beats, lyricism, etc. am i the only one?
>>60817788
errr tl;dr odd future discussion?
>>60818005
nah man, same, EARL and Bastard will always be favorites to me since I listened to them 2010. They felt so fresh and innovative for that time, like the beginning of a new era
>>60818086
definitely. do you still feel like thats still goin though? tbqh i feel like they all kinda plateaued after, i still get the heebie jeebies listening to earl/goblin now but like doris/wolf kinda feels like the decline... besides loitersquad kek

bastard and earl were unique and great especially in 2010-2011. Earls still got talent and i hate to shit on him but he's not doing anything but catering to people who just jumped on the vince bandwagon in the past year or two. Also sidenote, mike g has always been massively underrated since the beginning of OFWGKTA and a new ep dropped last month.

Nah don't feel like its still going. I think it was the best when you didn't really know much about them, when they had this upcoming mysterious vibe. Didn't really liked Goblin though, too much forced egyness, melodramatic shit and the production got worse compared to Bastard.
Bastard was kinda edgy too but on a natural level.
Idk I still think Earl has a lot of potential. Solace was great, feel like his next tape is going to be more experimental/weird/eerie production-wise which I personally would love
