Wow that dude really popped in the thread, said some crazy and unsubstantiated s*** and dipped

I was gonna say earlier, it’s really cool to see upcoming artists like Navy, Pink Siifu, MIKE ect give Earl his flowers and show how influential he has been to them and the movement. I’ve seen Navy mention a few times that Earl is in his top 5, which is impressive cause Navy is a great rapper himself.

He’s a god

SRS best album of the 10s

No doubt. We’ve already gotten so much great music from his influence, but I feel like the best is yet to come

might be the best writer in the game for me, only like one or two from the new gen who come close to Earl's pen game

on course to being an all time respected artist

(Writing style aside) no one's touching Ka, but Earl is up there for sure

when I said one or two I had Ka in mind too lmao

those two are def the cream of the crop, they need to drop a collab seen them together so its bound to happen i guess

Word. Ka, woods, Elucid, Mach, Roc, and Earl are the best writers out currently imo

Seeing Earl cholppin it up w Ka in the Oediups music vid they need to link man

his new s*** this year is gonna s*** all over y’all favorite rapper

I don’t like s*** was the beginning of his maturity. Has enough tidbits of OF style stuff to cover a large swath of people but he was blazing his own trail. SRS, imo, was him in his purest essence. Feet of clay was a bit to far up his own ass but I respect it for what it was and I like how all these “earl clones” are getting shine bc of it

Better overall MC

Black Thought or Earl?

idk why but I've never had the chance to listen to much Roc aside from features. I can tell from them he's gifted just need to make time to sit with some projects

Gotta add Sage to that list too his debut and sophomore were outstanding; Also a big fan of Rory Ferreira and his many monikers but yea everyone up there is a heavyweight!

Actually seems like a good time for rap

Greatest of my lifetime imo

Roc is a pioneer, responsible for helping shape the underground sound post 2010. And a gifted writer for sure. Get on that

Hell yeah I love Sage, and he’s easily up there w my favs, but his writing isn’t quite up there yet, but I’m positive it will be same w Rory, he’s a real acquired taste, but he’s really dope as well.

Yeah we’re in a golden era rn Fr

damn its not an easy decision but.. Black Thought cause of all The Roots stuff

I respect that

I think Earl may be a better live performer though

Best lyricist of the 2010s w Danny Brown imo

For sure I'm adding his albums next time im on AM!

And I agree Sage can get better so its cool to sit him on the bench for now. Been so impressed with Rory;s growth from I wish my friend Rob was here days to Purple Moonlights and the new one.

Will let you know it goes with Roc projects

yea I agree on that. his on-stage delivery is so incredible, compliments the studio versions so well, esp the recent shows like camp flog gnaw he was really going in

Ka and woods out now

Haven’t really seen earl do this at all

Yes bro. My fav Roc joints are Reloaded, Rosebudd's Revenge, and RR2. The man's a legend. Def interested in what you think

Fr, I'm so excited about Navy's future man. We're blessed with amazing rappers rn

You mess w Al Divino? He has some crazy jazz songs that you might be interested in
