Earl Sweatshirt - “Earl” (Internet, 2010)
Earl is part of the same LA based Odd Future collective as Tyler The Creator. He is 15 16 now, actually. You can download his album from their website and it boasts “Lyrics About Rape, Coke, And Couches.” I haven’t listened to the whole thing but this is downright awe inspiring. Half Triple 6 Mafia, half Antipop Consortium. Rapping weird, rapping hard and rapping evil. IN THEIR TEENS. I hear music like this and I remember why I fell in love with rap in the first place. Rape, coke and couches.
And is that a 2DopeBoyz shot I hear at the end?
I think I found my new favorite rap crew.
