Earl Sweatshirt ... *GASP*

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by tHe LoNLy StOnR, Aug 27, 2012.

  1. Earl Sweatshirt's return to rap was publicised as if he would have been able to revive the dying rap game and carry what remained of its afflicted anatomy to the throne it once rested on. This was a paraphrased statement of what was fed to the masses by the Odd Future camp. I only heard about OF a couple months ago, but thanks to the cataloged constitution of the internet and my curious character, I was able to catch up on most of the general matters concerning their swift shoot up to stardom.

    And in uncovering all the debased details of the obvious publicity ploys by the OF crew, I began wondering whether the return of Earl, a ropy rapper at best, was yet another greedy gambit by OF to regain the hype they had in the 2010/2011 period. Was this a way for the attention starved Wolf Gang to refuel the hype machine for another jovial journey to the bank? This was yet another tormenting thought slowly munching away at my mind, as it is as obvious to anyone who listened to any of Golf Wang's tracks as it is to themselves that any idiot could smoke these fags. Earl is just a sub-par rapper who rhymes words he doesn't even know the meaning of in a semi-rhythmic fashion. He's like some kid who's simply reciting words at a spelling-bee; he's totally oblivious or ignorant as to what uncoherent gibberish he's spouting from his tongue.

    Sure I could cite some of his lyrics as proof of the prosaic properties of his prose, but that would be like choosing between a bevy of asian beauties - they're all so similar that choosing one over the other is a practice in pointlessness, and besides I have better things to do with my time such as hating on others for absolutely no conceivable reason.

    How can any self-respecting adult listen to a kid rapping about eating cereal and going to school? Is this the future of rap?
     
  2. This is the now of rap. The future seems like it will be much, much worse (where else can it go, really), especially if these Odd Future cunts have anything to do with it.
     
  3. do what I do, don't listen....


    And by the way these artist are the future of rap waaaaaaaaay before those faggots

  4. Bro Earl wasn't at camp I smoked a blunt with dude a year ago it's all fake bro just like all them cats.
     

  5. and he talks semantics...
     
  6. And the sad thing is, he's the best rapper in OF.
     

  7. I believe everyone on the internet

    and this whole future of hip hop and how yall think the sky is falling proves that you are all a bunch of pessimistic hipsters. Hes a teenager wtf do yall expect him to rap about? Fuck the rap listeners of GC fuck all of you!
     
  8. the thing is....i listen to the old school shit and it's depressing as a motherfucker and violent as hell

    Don't fuck with OF too much other than MellowHype, but Earl was a dope lyricist. Especially for his age.

    Also, "besides I have better things to do with my time such as hating on others for absolutely no conceivable reason"

    Sure you do :)
     

  10. What does this mean? :confused:
     
  11. Here follows Earl's most impressive verse - so say the d!ck riders. Please could someone clear up some of the more puzzling lines, y'all know his style of wordplay better than I do. Remember I didn't change any of this to make it look stupid - he did that all on his own.

    Yeah, fuck that
    Look, the contrast is a pair of lips (what does this mean)
    Swallowin’ syrup and settin’ fires to sheriffs whip (cough syrup, okay got that. Lighting whips on fire ... Okay)
    Fuckin’ all american terrorist
    Crushin’ rapper larynx to feed ‘em a fuckin’ carrot stick (not violent at all)
    And me? I just spent a year Ferrisin and
    And I lost a little sanity to show you what hysterics is
    Spit to the lips meet the bottom of a barrel (nice transition - keeping things coherent I see)
    So that sterile piss flow remind these *****s where embarrassed is (I'm stumped)
    Narrow, tight line, might impair him (again, my brains rattled)
    Since I made it back to Fahrenheit, grimey get dinero type
    Pharoah fuckin’ pillow tear wearin’ pack of parasite (here is that nonse I was talking about - spelling bee ***** type shit)
    Threw his own loofa off the roof after paradise (he probably scratched someone's back and had his scratched, right? Hell no this makes no sense)
    Ladidadi back in here to fuck the party up
    Raiding fridges, tipping over vases with a tommy gun
    Never dollars, pop would make it rain hockey pucks
    60 day chips from fuckin’ awesome anonymous (so he hasn't been awesome in 60 days? Who would've guessed it)
    Call him bloated ’til he show them that the flow deluxe
    Off the wall loafers, four loko, and a cobra clutch
    Vocals bold and rough, evoke a ho’ to pose his drum (these last three lines have me scratching my head like I ran out of Head and Shoulders)
    Let me hit him, hit it with a stick until the ho was numb (notice that he said, "let me hit him and then later talks about fucking a ho. Is he gay?)
    Culprit of the potent punch (he probably means one inch punch - little dicked bastard)
    Scolding hot as dunking scrotum in a Folgers cup – or Nevada (dunking your scrotum in Nevada? No thank you I already have syphillis)
    Driving drunk inside a stolen truck
    Shitting like his colon bust (admit it these are random lines)
    Belly full of chicken and a fifth of old petroleum ( I hope that petroleum is American or else he'll have a real "oil spill" in the morning :D)
    Supernova, I’m rollin’ over the novices (I'm assuming a supernova is a car - a chevy to be precise)
    I’m roamin’ through the forest and spittin’ cold as the porridge is (cold what? Sperm?)
    Stay gold ’til the case closed and the story end
    Post mortem porkin’ this rap shit and record it (if only)
    To escort it to the morgue again
    Lord of lips, bored of this (you stole the words from my mouth)
    Forklift the tippy top, best under 40 list
    Stormin’ the gate, who’s sure in the base, scorching ladies
    Fortunately these motherfuckers soarin’, torso and face
    Get at me with savages, have a pack of Apache
    Indian pack of *****s who don’t give a fuck if we nasty as flatulence
    As a matter of fact, your swagger is tacky so see me you can’t
    Like crunchy black cats in a taxi
    Back like lateral passing
    With that motherfucking gladiator manner of rapping
    As an addict I let percocets and xannies relax me
    Fall back if your paddies is Maxi
    Please (those last lines were mind numbing to listen to)

    Please help an ignorant brother out; enlighten me as to what this kid is talking about.
     

  12. Hey now Mr. Wavy, there's some really good hip hop/rap out there. But as a teenager I think he can find better things to rap about then rape and murder IMHO.
    I.E.

  13. dont listen to horrorcore then? :confused:

    you guys act like all rappers are the same... and are supposed to rap about the same shit...

    earl does what he does. and he does it better than anyone else.

    so if you dont like it, go listen to something you can relate to a bit more
     
  14. I thought Tyler was pretty adament, in interviews and on Goblin, that their music isn't Horrorcore. Yes, I am an educated hater. Anyway, seeing as you claim that Earl is such a great rapper, could you please clarify as to what he means by saying: "the contrast is a pair of lips."
     
  15. Everyone likes their own shit. People are going to say Odd Future are going to ressurect rap, other people won't.

    Earl Sweatshirt is a dope writer and he got the flow, but the shit he writes about is bogus. In my opinion, real rap will never been the same. It died with people like Gangstarr and Big L, just to name a few.

    But yet again, the above is just opinion. Everyone else will have a different one.
     
  16. OP you should write articles you kept me glued to this dumb topiic of Odd Future. You should try vice or something.
     

  17. By 'the contrast is a pair of lips' he means the contrast between his flow and jaspers, the top lip is normally darker than the bottom. He probably used lips 'cause he's famous for his big ass lips :smoke:
     

  18. dog dont go linking me shit like ive never heard it before. I literally have every track you just linked.

    Rape and murder isnt anything new in rap. Earl isnt the first to rap about it. and besides the way he says the things he says is fucking clever. Subject matter doesnt really phase me as long as they are good at rapping about it and it flows well. I like gucci because hes really good at rapping about his cars and jewlery and drug dealing. I like slug from atmosphere because hes good at rapping about emo shit and how his girl dumped him.

    If every rapper were the same id be bored of rap fast. gotta keep the subject matter different ya feel me?

    besides earl even said he quit rapping about that shit since he worked with victims of sexual assault. and honestly i feel like his pen game has slipped since his return.
     
  19. I'm 18 and I happen to like Earl, "Reincarnation of '98 Eminem". Not all his songs are terrible, but I agree that verse from "Oldies" doesn't make much sense.
    One of my favourite lyrics from Earl:
    "Maybe if you looked in this direction
    I'd pick my heart up off the floor and put it in my chest then
    Feel the fucking life, rushing through my body
    But you got a guy, it's not me, so my wrist is looking sloppy"
    And the song called Earl is pretty beast. xD
     
  20. his lyrics dont make sense anymore cuz he lost direction with what he wanted to say. he stopped the rape and murder type shit so its like he lost the hunger in his lyrics. Not saying he has to rap about that, but id rather him rap about that than a bunch of mumbo jumbo
