Had the worst morning and seeing your post instantly changed my mood for the better. Your analysis of music and culture is unmatched and I truly hope more people can recognize the amount of work you do for these videos. Thank you so much for the content much love!
Thanks for the kind words.
I’m in college right now for engineering, but i still love the humanities (they just don’t make as much money) and your channel teaches me so much about so many things from linguistics to philosophy to history. I wanted to thank you for making these videos that allow me to connect my love for music and love for general knowledge. AVAA
one of the best albums of 2023 honestly. cheers from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
شيكور صاحبي
on 27 braids he continues on with
“I’m going through changes that I couldn’t fathom but growing pains lead to understanding”
It’s probably my favorite line on the entire album. great video by the way.
Keorapetse Kgositsile's Anguish Longer than Sorrow is a power poem and was actual used by Earl in his Playing Possum track
I know it’s been several years at this point since it was released, but I would love to hear your thoughts on Some Rap Songs. In my opinion it’s earl’s best and most interesting work. Great video as always Prof Skye !!!
Probably my favorite album ever, it’s been very impactful for me
Riot! Still one of my favorite
Imprecise words
One of the most influential albums of underground hip hop
I really appreciate the predictably random TMI bits of background you give on yourself on many of your reviews. TH-cam has plenty of reviewers pontificating about what instruments/samples used and this song works because of (x) or it doesn't work because of (y) concluding with a score that many people will use to justify to not listen for themselves or to argue/get mad -- thankfully your reviews are about trying to understand what's being said, why it matters to the artist and/or listener and how the project made you feel.
Thanks for the kind words. I’m always hesitant with the TMI, but I hope it has the effect you describe
really looking forward to playing this on the tv while i cook up a mean omelette
Hopefully not prepared in the crucible of 19th century sordid European design.
Earl's lineage is truly astonishing. I - need - the odd future documentary cause i just cant stop thinking about him somehow meeting tyler and vince and them. what a beautiful brush of luck. love the vid, AVAA! < 3
I've been listening to Earl for years and I never knew any of these things. Thanks for dropping such a cool review and helping us out with all that knowledge! It's very interesting and love learning about it! Can't wait to see if you'll do Al's other new album with "MIKE & WIKE - Faith Is a Rock" also AVAA!
AVAA. Echoing the popular sentiment here, I’m really going through a period of trouble and wanted to write in to say how much I appreciate these videos. Music is the best, and having these educated cultural conversations makes me feel like we’re all going to be okay. Even when everything is on fire, we can engage in culture and find shared humanity. Thank you.
man you’re dropping some serious knowledge with this one. also, i’m gen z and had no idea how tf to access the album prior to the general release, hope they never do it again lol. AVAA! also! review Faith Is A Rock by Mike Wiki Alc!!!! please
I think this is my first event donation, so thank you!
@@professorskyeit’s criminal you don’t get more, peace.
Faith is a Rock is so good 😢
I SECOND THIS! PLEASE LISTEN TO MIKE @professorskye
dude your channel is gold. 40 mins just goes in a whim with ya , great stuff
Yknow its funny how apparently there was supposed to be a collaboration between Earl Vince and Alchemist but apparently Earl and Al spent most of the time smoking weed 😂 Also you could hear Kgositsile and Earl's mom on Playing Possum on Some Rap Songs.
Thanks on the break down on the Voir Dire title! I thought it was mostly about jury selection but Speak Truth makes alot of sense. AVAA ! 🎉
I love that you tried to to pronounce Ntate Kgositile’s full name. You’re alright Prof.
As always your perspective is a very interesting one. Perspectives in music have always been something that I think are more interesting than numbers. Your way of speaking about the art and creation of others really helps to understand the layers of creation and appreciation. What you said about parents and their own achievements in contrast to Earl also was something I had not realized in my own listening experience. Your perspective helped me appreciate this more. AVAA -BLANK-
AVAA. Thank you for always bringing up the books rappers rap about. I’m one of hopefully more than a few that actually purchases them, but if not for your videos I would likely not even pick up on the references from the music alone. My life is all the better for having read books like House of Hunger among others, and I’ll be definitely be picking up Notebook of a Return to My Native Land, too!
AVAA! Your dissection of hip hop albums is by far my favourite of all music reviewers. THANKYOU Prof. Skye!
Amazing video!! I love Earl, glad we can appreciate his "royalty" too
Thank you for this awesome history lesson and review!!! Just so you know , 27 is the blonde color of hair extensions you can get. Black people usually braid these extensions once installed.
AVAA! Some raps songs! Even if you dont listen to the whole album, just listen to the song "Riot!". Great video! Also got a new sub lol would also love some mf doom reviews too!
What an album omg every line shocks me with how good it is even today after so many listens
I truly love your reviews professor Skye. You’re a gem amongst other reviewers with your intelligence and amazing ability to speak. Love from NYC!
you seem like the coolest professor lol i really enjoy your content. it’s awesome how in-depth you go with the research you do on an artist’s background - i can also tell that you know a lot about contemporary hip-hop as well as previous eras of hip-hop + music in general. it’s really cool keep it up 👍.
also, just wanna add: you should do a video on one of MIKE’s albums, Disco, Beware of the Monkey, or the new one titled Burning Desire!
Keorapetse Kgositsile is a very respected poet in South Africa, im from south africa as well so finding this out about Earl is so cool
I usually never watch videos on music reviews unless its accompanied by a reaction to the tracks but this is awesome. Love the depth you go into and the time you take to really understand these artists
AVAA, coming live from South Africa 🇿🇦
Is Kgositsile well recognized there?
@@professorskye Yes of course, but funnily enough mostly by the older generation of South Africans, eg. those who were around during struggle times (Apartheid). Earl is not as well known as his father, unfortunately, only within the underground hip-hop community as South African hip-hop and Earl's hip-hop are 2 diverse sounds of the same genre.
You’re really good at this, man. I like your approach
AVAA. Beautifully layered collaboration and one I'll be revisiting frequently (both for the deeper wordplay and the "easy listening" purposes).
Mhondoro is Shona, from Zimbabwe, north of south Africa
AVAA, I really love seeing people talk about earl so highly, im glad you get it as you always do!
Thank You
As a South African I couldn't be prouder of Thebe.
Not bad on his father's name pronunciation😅
Laughing at the fact that when he said "What else are you doing, what are you playing FIFA?" at 29:30 I was actually playing FIFA. Great content as always though, such an interesting listen.
I’m currently in the tutorial mode.
i love it man. I love your sporadic style. & how you always express your worries for the things you cant understand. & the passion you put into the things you do.. Im from SA, ya butchered the pronounciation😂😂😂. Earl in my top 5. please review IDLSIDGO
AVAA! would be super interested to hear what you’d think of MIKE’s projects Beware of the Monkey & Disco, he was a big influence on Earl’s more recent style and I love his work so much, very similar themes in his lyrics too in terms of mental health and family being the center of it all.
And his newest one, burning desire
@@noot_2 I didn’t even know a new album was dropping when I made this comment and now a week later it’s tied for my favorite MIKE album, it’s SO good, his samples and beats are next level
That is funny. It is really good, haven't got to it lirically but instrumentally it is insane
AVAA Professor Skye I can always count on you to come through with APT analyses of the rap music I enjoy🤝🙏
AVAA, btw Earl actually has dreadlocks in real life and not braids, which is probably where your confusion around the 27 Braids thing came from. This felt like one of your must in-depth reviews ever, I loved this album already but you made me view it in a different light
These types are reviews are the reason I fuck w/ you. When you go deep into the language of the songs it's like the greatest thing because I don't think anyone else is doing it.
first video ive seen of yours and i can already tell im really going to enjoy the rest of the channel. Your vast knowledge really adds so much perspective to an album i already loved that I never would have found on my own and the way you speak with so much passion for the subject matter is super captivating. amazing video
Only way forward is unafraid and focused ✊
really appreciated this review, thank you. i typically just think that "no one misunderstands art better than Criticism" (Rilke), but you buck that trend for me. also typically not one to comment on videos, but because i feel you love this album on like the same level as i love this album, and bc i couldn't see anyone else mention it in the comments, i feel compelled to tell you this: the first release of the album has got three tracks on it that got replaced on the streaming release (and the uncensored version of Free the Ruler). of these first release tracks, there are two - Geb and All the Small Things - that i think are the earl's best work (obvs it's a tight race, obvs every track on the album is my favourite). Geb is just so hard, just bars on bars: "the ceilin ain't that high either / you see the cracks, right? / the black sky peaking past plight / head high, hands high, praise God." All the Small Things is all heart and heavy soul: "my grandma, Juanita, said it best / roll with the punches, keep em comin, i'm prepared / imma parry some, variables make me bend / but i never fumble, carryin it like a man / even when i buckle under egregious demands." Al's production exquisite as always. some hero uploaded the first release onto the internet archive, so you can listen to the replaced tracks there - just requires a simple google search, you can do it, and you'll be pleased you did! will listen to Makeba immediately. AVAA. peace.
AVAA- great analysis, appreciate your work king.
amazing review, Professor! i would love to see a review for Excelsior by Slauson Malone, it came out on friday and its album of the year imo, incredible and very thought-profoking!
awesome video as always!
AVAA! I always look forward to watching your Earl videos, he’s one of my favorite rappers today. By the way, and this is just me noticing very minute silly things, but I think viscount is pronounced like “vye-count”.
AVAA! you inspire me
I commented something similar on your last Earl video but I highly recommend listening to some tracks from his first two albums for context. The progression of his writing style is very interesting. He seemingly loosened up his rhyme schemes over time to achieve this sound. But you really have to hear how methodically he approached his early verses.
My brother is an English professor who’s favorite Shakespeare play is Tempest so I would like to get him the version you were talking about. Could you please respond to this comment with the spelling of that author’s name? I couldn’t see the spelling when you held up the book.
AVAA
Aime Cesaire!
@@professorskye 🙏
just found you and have been loving your videos professor. I would recommend to you a project called Trees & Truths by a great rap artist Mick Jenkins. incredible poetry intertwined in hard hitting raps over some very unique production. allusions to biblical and philosophical themes that i think youll enjoy. ive been listening to it for literally 10 years and i still find out about bars i didnt get at first with nearly every listen
To me this is easily his best since Doris. His discog is still respectable but im not a fan of the more extremely dark and abstract route he took following his debut. Nice to have an Earl album to play all the way through a bunch after a decade
I really liked some rap songs.
@@Mbewe_SMi didnt care for that one at all, thats where he really lost me but i know lots think its his magnum opus
I like most of his albums and i really can’t choose a favorite
I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!
AVAA, Thanks from South Africa. Earl isn't famous per se here but if you listen to underground then you'd probably know about him, most my friends used to listen to Doris during high school. They didn't like some rap songs, but you grow and learn I guess.
amazing stuff, as always, professor Skye! a viewer from Brasil here, and I would like to know if you happen to know any music from our country. I would suggest especially brazilian rap group Racionais MC's. you can find songs by them such as "Capítulo 4, versículo 3" and "Negro drama" with english subtitles pretty easilly. anyway, keep up the great work
AVAA. This album is so 🔥
Avaa, Earl has a great feature on mikes album that dropped today. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the album.
AVAA dont gamble!
Love the minimalist thumbnail
I ruined it by making a real one.
Great reivew
The name "Earl Sweatshirt" is from an episode of the show Children's Hospital. It is a coincident lol. Cool one though.
Would be really cool if you could make a reading list compiled from all your videos. I bought The Black Jacobins after you recommended it a year or two ago. AVAA
The mariam album at the back
He said “excavate what I can” on free the ruler
a some rap songs video would be awesome, you'd definitely dig it. AVAA
AVAA! I'm gonna listen to some Miriam Makeba right after I finish this video
AVAA. as always prof
please do more Navy Blue, MIKE and ofc Earl Sweatshirt
Ritt Momney's album review is the one you need to watch for the Mitt Romney stories ! (Avaa)
as far as I'm concerned, earl is the title of his royalty. he's the earl of sweatshirt
AVAA, thumbs up on that vince staples joke
You should listen to gala music version because there are 3 songs that this version is missing
Earl does have dreadlocks but sometimes gets them braided which is also possible. So, technically you were right in your labeling of them being dreadlocks.
i'd love to see your take on Navy Blues album from this year Ways Of Knowing
I enjoyed this album.
I believe there is a song on some rao songs that has a bar that goes like "poppa called me king" which is intetesting when considering the odea that earl means of noble decent and that earl is rotalty in way
Album of tmyear for me. Great review. Chech out The Alchemist other new album with MIKE and Wiki, Faith is a rock
Earl the goat
AVAA!
Hey Professor! I love your videos! I do wanna recommend the new album by MIKE (who was featured on this album) called Burning Desire. It def has a lot of things on it and would love to hear what you have to say
Avaa :))
AVAA! I hope you get a chance to review CASISDEAD's Final Last Words. It's out later this month, throw some UK rap into the mix!
AVAA🏆
AVAA! Is the audio available somewhere /in a podcast format? Would love to listen as i go around and youtube videos arent always best for this!
Do MIKES burning desire, great album I think you’d enjoy it foreal !
Love your videos, have you ever listened to the album Reasonable Drought from Stove God Cooks? Would love to hear your opinions on it.
Sky I have been telling people that earls music is poetry for real it’s like they don’t get what he saying but I may just be a die hard fan but I like the sleepy flow too. I mean it’s his flow why would you expect anything else.
Are you a fellow tidal user?! Also great video
Absolutely. Tidal guy since Pablo
AVAA
I think by the “mid” he means mid city in LA
I also dont know why rappers dont even try keep in theme for features😔
AVAA ❤
You asked what an Earl wears: it’s a sweatshirt.
please review MIKEs new album ‘Burning Desire’ ❤️❤️
AVAA
Watched all ads
😎
As a South African, I didn't know that Earl's father was a 🇿🇦 Activist
AVAA
Did you know his uncle is Hugh Masekela?
Why does the streaming version of this album have a completely different tracklist to the previous version. Like half of the songs got replaced by brand new ones???? My favorite song wasn't even included...
Please review some of MIKEs music his whole discography is amazing. AVAA
While lyrically intricate, I wasn’t as big a fan of Earl’s later works as I was with Doris era stuff. This project however felt like what Earl should’ve been doing, and it’s his best work to me.
would be curious about your opinion on ethan p. flynn debut album abandon all hope :)
You should check out Kesha's new album. The ultimate evolution of an artist.
AVAA professor!
AVAA, if you like Earl you gotta listen to MIKE! He just dropped a tape with Alchemist and a solo album called Burning Desire, both amazing albums!
