Aight yeah after sitting with this, East trash.

Everything else fire though.

Crazy to hear Earl’s progression. I’ve tried giving East a try, but it’s not it

It’s really funny to imagine East playing at some random fancy restaurant in France

Loved SRS but this s*** is a step down to me. It's good tho

74 one of his best verses

Yeah done with Earl, he’s not for me anymore lol

they should play the instrumental version when tekashi gets released from prison, let the clown come home to some theme music

give it time, only really opened up to me after like the 10th listen tbh and from then on been growing heavy

Bro it took 10? I fw it from first listen but glad you stick through with it

I’m not trynna sound like a hater I’m just sad because I loved this guy’s music but can you tell me what’s so appealing to you about this SRS and FOC style?

its like all 90's sounds but 2010's arrangement its really cool and different super rw and unbridled (listen to MIKE and Standing On The Corner)

also to me it feels like the color brown swirling between hues of beige, coca, and sienna s***s a dope ass sound

AS IF IT MATTERS IF YOU THINK IT MATTERS ANYMORE

He's addressing all your concerns on the record.

i like that it’s raw raps over raw ass beats

i like that he obviously and overtly isn’t trying to please anyone and could give a f*** what people think - but in a way that isn’t edgy at all

plus he’s actually saying something on these tracks

I beat you to the point, my noose is golden

good raps

4N might be SOTY

My memory really leaking blood
It's congealing, stuck
Pieces in sLums
One peaking in the dust, weaving
I remember woods
I remember Endo when he wasn't remembering much

i dont understand the complaints on the production who tf has ever listened to earl for dope beats?

nah I immediately knew it was something special, just took about 10 listens to really get rid of any expectations and comparisons to SRS and get in a groove with it

stfu lmao

his production is one of his best talents...

apparently not cus people actin like these the worst beats they’ve ever heard

assuming you're talking about the way those projects are mixed & recorded

to me in essence its just texture, its the same reason using extras colours and broad paint strokes evoke extra emotion in a painting

i could go into specifics but its counter intuitive to break down art too much - reminds me of a quote from a recent piece i read on mavi, something about not shining a torch into the dark corners of the s***. end of the day u either fw it or you dont & thats cool but yea its just texture & expression in a really interesting emotionally evoking way, b.
