What was dumbed down about that Earl song?

Lucki has been rapping like this for a decade, at this point his first tape was an aberration

Gunn has never been valued for lyrical heft so what is he dumbing down? Is anybody surprised that the guy who loves to pad out albums with big name features is pursuing Post Malone? Go pop, I’m sure it can’t be worse than his latest project

not the biggest earl fan but from the outside looking in it seems like he’s been tryna have fun with this s*** since sick

The beat nigga made a whole lotta assumptions just based off that. Like that nigga Drake didn’t just rap a whole life story on a WOD beat

This is weird response to a FIRE f***ing snippet

Where did the “trends” come from

this nigga gunn is so crazy dawg

if he’s gonna start getting on trap beats then he shouldn’t be enlisting Tay Keith in 2023

he didn’t even sound right on half of those beats at that either

prime Earl

I’ve been done with SRS era for a minute
Feet of Clay and Sick! were diminishing returns
Voir Dire was sick, but I think Earl would actually challenge himself MORE if he was doing s*** like this

yeah tbh Earl’s approach to music post-IDLS has largely been hit or miss for me

SRS was great but everything afterwards has been pretty middling with some gems on it for me, on paper i thought that Alc collab album would be insane but it’s just pretty decent for me (i guess? haven’t came back to it)

Benny the Butcher had a trap project so bad that nobody knows it happened. Forbidden knowledge

this s*** is crazy

difference is Earl and Lucki can sound good and do interesting things on mainstream beats Gunn can’t

they don’t know about chains bond

hearing Gunn using those recycled ass flows on those mid trap beats was traumatizing

I don’t always think its dumbing down , i dont think lucki dumbed down for example

It definitely can be though and its usually wack when it is

I guarantee this guy puts himself on a pedestal because he makes neo dust but this is proof he couldn’t be a trap rapper even if he wanted to

Legendary intro

You’re just pulling that first part out of thin air because for some reason it pisses you off that he usually chooses “different” production

Lmao but why

This the type of s*** that have dudes in OP acting like that to begin with

I may be pulling it out of thin air but if I cared enough to go digging i might actually find it

Thread backfired

Benny before The Butcher

how? I just saw the Earl snippet on TL and all those other moments came to mind

How can observations backfire lol

Not really out of thin air. I'm pretty sure all 3 of the main griselda memebr has said that in one way or another

You probably wouldn’t which takes us back to my question of what about him usually picking boom bap beats awakens the spirit of disdain in you without you even having to hear him s*** on trap beats?

Lol
