    Die Lit as a whole is super layered and detailed if you pay close attention to whats going on. it seems minimal at first glance but songs like Long Time are super intricate with how the adlibs are placed and what effects are chosen for them. you can tell that Carti and the engineers put a lot of thought into making it sound the way it does. I'm not seeing that type of attention to detail in Earl's newer music.

    delusion is contagious

    this though^^ some of yall niggas listen to earl to feel high class lol

    Even back in Doris era, Earl scrapped the more accessible songs off sessions with Pharrell and Frank bc he wasn't ready for that type of exposure.

    At last he wasn't even happy with Doris and said that he considers IDLSIDGO his first 'real' project where he actually did what he truly wants.

    This lo fi, structureless, stream of consciousness s*** definitely alienates many listeners but Earl is fully aware and doesn't care. He just makes the type of music that he loves to listen to himself (he's a fan of Ka and Billy Woods.. who can be pretty difficult to listen to).

    His last 3 projects felt very intimate and warm to me.. a prestigious album with proper mixing/mastering, full length verse-chorus-verse-chorus song structures, high profile feats, etc would be amazing, but would it feel the same?? I really don't know but I would def like him to try one day.

    We all know that Earl is one of the most skilled rappers out there but I think that the fact he chooses to stay in the underground annoys some people. It's his choice tho.

    Do you see that it's pretty dumb and useless to discuss how 'cool' or 'lame' an entire fan base of a certain artist is tho?

    Yeah but what do you expect from a music forum probably filled with high schoolers and some of us adults? It’s not educational, just a forum. People taking it too seriously and getting triggered just makes it worse. If you don’t like what happens on a public forum then don’t go to that public forum.

    Y’all d***ride Carti and Pierre and glorify the minimalism of their stuff but Earl’s take on minimalistic sound is wack for y’all? Step up your taste game.

    This is deadass facts my g.

    Yall double standards is mad ridiculous.

    White kids and weirdos love this s***. Earl makes mumble rap for hipsters who hate black mumble rappers.

    Earl is a major hipster himself so no surprise

    Those who are worried the most about the social status that allegedly comes with being a fan of the artist are triggered more than anyone tho. The rest of us just consume art for our own enjoyment and experience.

    I understand that it's some high school s*** tho. I'm just too old for this place I guess.

    It’s not a competition for whose the most triggered. It’s just as simple as get over it. Life ,especially the internet, is not always going to be to one person’s or group’s liking. So for anyone triggered or butthurt.. get over it, leave, or just keep crying about it.

    Adding value wasn’t my intent. My intent is to hopefully help people from crying about kids’ responses on the internet. No point in being hurt by words or responses.

    Some people legit love the lyrics and "dust" production like this.

    I hate that it's become a meme to diss MF DOOM-style of rap but I don't say those niggas can't read.

    Eh I think that we adults just try to help those kids bc being stuck in a place where you constantly worry about some dumb music social status thing is toxic.
