  • During a three year hiatus from music, Earl lost his father, with whom he had a very broken relationship, and this event caused him to suffer greatly, but it also allowed for him to find new peace in his life. While it may appear to be Earl’s most depressing piece yet, the album is truly a testament to progress and self-betterment.

    It's funny, when I first listened to this album I wasn't that crazy about it. However I caught myself hummin the beats and sampled vocals in my day dreams. The beats are unorthodox but for some reason sound familiar. The juxtaposition of earl's monotone vs the crazy beat is like earl fighting against a torrent of a musical barrage, and the only way to win is to conquer the beat with lyrics

    Maybe my favourite Rap Album ever. So deep lyrics,such great sounding beats,so influential.
    And Experimental Stuff is always the way to go. I dont wanna hear the same sounding people on the same hard beats.

      Experimental Hip-hop feels like the only art-form in hip-hop, left these days. Earl's Some Rap Songs & Danny Brown's Atrocity Exhibition are two great examples.

      I think you have to let some projects in general marinate because their ideas aren't easy to digest for anyone. I've been suspect of passing albums in the past and then on replay think it's suddenly genius. So don't feel too hard on yourself, there is a certain beauty in being able to reprocess and understand true value - that's what makes us human for sure

    Of course I had listened to the album upon release, but it wasn’t until I was listening to it on the daily while self quarantining with COVID over Christmas holiday. I was at home alone, the rest of my family was vacationing in another country. Listening to the album became more a self-confrontation, sharing many similar emotions with Earl. This album means the world to me.

    Thank you, man! It's quite hard to understand Earl's songs if your English level is only intermediate for now. After watching your video, I'm really happy I checked the whole Earl's discography because even a couple of words in a line has its own deep meaning and makes vivid images in your head. Your help is invaluable!

      This is the type of comment that really hits home, I really appreciate that it helped you think about things from a deeper perspective.
      I also sometimes do find things hard to understand, so I take the time to break it down for myself, and upload it through videos like this, at the same time so other people like you can benefit!
      Thank you for the support, definitely stick around for weekly episodes!
