This s*** gets crazier and more complex every listen. EAST is absolutely ridiculous, he is actually riding the beat in the most amazing pocket. Wtf
Ok here's the thing
This is better than srs
The engineering is just as bad as ever and ruins any of the more decent rapping that appears on this
but at LEAST the production on this isn't ENTIRELY "experimental" messy garbage obviously designed to appeal to white people who read pitchfork and watch fantano like the entirety of srs
Srs is like a 1 this is like a 2.5 because 74 is actually a decent song and easily the nicest beat Earl has rapped on since like 2016 (it's also shorter so less garbage to endure). But it becomes completely trash again after that. It's like the old earl who made music that wasn't critic bait was shining through for a minute then he was gone again. It gave me the same feeling I got when I heard Peanut for the first time before Earl ruined it with his voice except Earl didn't ruin it this time
East is hilariously bad
Either way can't see myself hating on this one as much but it is still hot dog water do not get it twisted
At least we can agree that EAST is horrible
well the symbolism is great
Yeah but people talking about it being hard on sum surface level aesthetic s***
Listen to how confident and skilled he sounded in Odd Future and Pre-Odd Future songs. Then listen him now. Off beat and just rhyming words on weird instrumentals that I hope he didn't pay for.
ur comparing him when he was a f***ing kid doing dumb s*** to an adult who's been thru s*** and matured?
he was rapping about f***ing masturbating when he was in OF

Nahhhh y’all are different
nah it's just straight avant-garde s***. Do I enjoy it like SRS right now? Nah, but I can't wait to dissect this more. Can def see me loving this more with each listen. On my 3rd right now it's already a big grower.
Bottom line this is dense as f*** and nothing you can just judge from a listen or two
East beat is some Danny type s***.
nah i agree, i get it, he should've atleast pitched it down a lil or slow it down, s*** is just not typical at all
i guess he really wanna lose the unecessary fans, ion know what the plan is really

You're trying too hard
Nahhhh y’all are different
How about keep listening to it and give it an actual chance? Is that too much to ask?
Highkey this has been a year full of nights like this, where I get disappointed by a rap or rap-adjacent release and then almost immediately find something unexpectedly far better (Sudan Archives album rn) and never feel the need to come back to that mid again lmao
thats what got me hot
people trip on trav Highest but that s*** is deadass same structure as Watch
song + omg mike dean outro old TRAV AHHHH
I can’t get over EAST
We need studio session footage of Earl and his gang bobbing their heads to the beat

All I see from this is that you were most comfortable with him when he was fitting a stereotype his group created for themselves
