The track that goes “I knew the verdict fore’ the gavel went up” ever release?

Idk where you got all that from man he started listening to and working with billy woods, mach hommy, roc marci type flow users and it helped his music a lot and its present from srs and on, especially on voir dire

I hope this FaceTime s*** goes reposted I know it’s about to be the most awkward and funny s*** ever

800k >>>> dampened impact lol

this friday

In

It didn’t :/

Fake

What you are saying its not contradicting what I said, so I don't really get your point. The reason he changed his flow and the artists that influenced him are two different things.

Also Im getting it from what Earl said himself

Started with Solace, which he made with the intention of making something his mother would like. I think he’s probably carried on that principal after that

Even that kinda has some shades of IDLSIDGO imo. Like that very direct style is still there

I wonder if he had a Pharrell convo moment like Tyler did before making Flower Boy

I also think he wanted IDLS to be more like what we got later but there was some problems with clearing samples he said. I feel what you’re saying because I more or less think his rap style and delivery on Huey is pretty similar to what he’d continue doing. And obviously IDLS is the album where his lyrics really took on depth. The beats were just different

I remember him saying right before or around IDLS dropping that he was never going to just rhyme some s*** to rhyme again and that everything was going to be true to him basically. The interview he did with NPR at that time probably touches on a lot of that moment and transition phase

You getting any of that money? Lmfao

Couch is better than anything he will ever make with Navy

Nah we get a free album tho

No s***

Shut up b****

forgot you can't be allowed to be a fan that appreciates free music and your fav artist also getting actually paid lol.

streaming era gave birth to some entitled ass niggas mane lol

I don’t have any actual connection to these rich celebs so no I’m not jumping up and down cus they made money. It’s okay to lightly criticize a release strategy lmao you don’t actually know them. It’s not entitled to point out it dampened the reception it should have cus of how they did it. God damn

Respectfully, you don’t care about what they make so why do you care what impact they make? They got the music to the fans in a way they saw fit and fair to them.

It’s not like these guys are star level either, I don’t think they’re rich to the point where it’s crazy or unfair for them to be wanting to make the most of their opportunities

Especially when it caused no inconvenience to me and gave me a great album to listen to

This mindset that everything that isn’t on streaming right away is somehow an inferior release is EXACTLY what the streaming services want. It’s ridiculous that any time an artist does something outside streaming, no matter how it’s done, it’s criticized. This was so easy to play right when it dropped

I just really realized you called these guys “celebs” lol Alc is not a celeb

It’s the truth though. Streaming is the standard for 99.9% of people now and that won’t change. Of course I’m grateful for the album but I also wish it gets the love it deserves for the music itself by everyone, not just cus they made a bag and dipped. I don’t care about my personal inconvenience cus I’m still listening on Gala everyday anyway. I just feel like them barely acknowledging it at all, barely being present for the release party, going silent now etc does a disservice to the music itself cus it deserves proper attention and spotlight. Hopefully we get that with the full release

That NPR interview is almost better than the album itself, and that’s not a knock on the album

So...this joint not coming to Spotify or something?
