I guess he did genuinely want to explain why a lot of s*** people have been fiending for didn't make the cut. Tho of course it doesn't make us crave the unreleased s*** any less

If that was his goal then I feel like he just makes it worse by giving an album title, number of tracks and concept lol, for me that’s way worse than some songs that were previewed not making it, I expect that and don’t mind

tonight

uproxx.com/music/the-alchemist-earl-sweatshirt-album-done

Article from 2021, the title said the next album was gonna be 21 minutes long according to The Alchemist

I don’t remember this

this is dropping at midnight eastern right?

Pretty much got better w every album but srs > foc

Nah Al never said anything about the length. They made that up or misinterpreted something

That Bradley Beal Comp is some of the weirdest s*** I’ve ever heard him say I’m floored lol

for me it's one of my fav albums oat and a masterpiece but at the same time I think he matured so much artistically with every subsequent release so it's difficult

SRS kind of his magnum (even tho not so magnum) opus
FOC imo takes some of it artistically even further similarly great
Doris could be here
also sometimes put IDLS above tho because his own production adds so much
or put Solace above both

all of them were my fav Earl projects at different points and are masterpieces imo

Earl the easiest to place at bottom because it's so immature and rough (tho still remarkable for what it was)

That interview makes it sounds like he’s tryna do that “outside” album he had planned for after Doris or w/e with the hits

Dunno how I feel about it as a fan of the music but it’s very heart warming to see where he is as a person

if you guys are not hip this was one of the best tracks of last year

and we got this freestyle by them and Earl (+ cameos by Siifu Nak Maxo..)

Dyn-o-Mite is a classic to me

like man

zeloopers is so dope

laced..... love Bootleg so much too... will probably need to revisit this tonight amazing album. Gremlin very underappreciated too tbh, a lot of my fav Zel tracks on there

The stuff he was doing at his age on Kitchen Cutlery is insane

Well they weren’t far off anyway

EARL is not considered a “studio” album (never was either iirc), hence making Sick! his fourth studio album.

Earl probably reading this thread and wondering why his fans gotta be this lame arguing over some s*** like this hahaha

Doesn’t really matter but he considers it an album unless he changed his mind since this

Haven't been this exited for an album in a long time. It just feels good knowing an artist is gonna deliver quality material. I might be banned tonight because of a bet tho so if that happens I will return here in a week and drop my in-depth thoughts.
