In 2018 it would have been acceptable to say some s*** like this but mike literally been on for a few years now and earl been supporting for a minute now…
Lol I was being sarcastic
Tears of joy one of my fav rap records of the 10s
Is it this? I was hoping this was in reference to the 2nd older album hidden on youchube
pretty sure this is that album it was wrapped up by 2021
I 100% agree with this
Oh BROTHER
I 100% agree with this
I knew people would hate this beat lol
Too clean is interesting(ly wrong)
Where the f*** can I buy the shirt Earl wears in the Sentry video with Snoopy’s face on a camel??
clean in what way? like the mixing? or the way he chopped the sample?
I don't know man Alc just gives the impression sometimes that he's on autopilot on some of his beats like the beat is still ok but it has no life in it whatsoever it's just a flat line with no bumps
lmfaooo
mike getting inspired by idlsidgo to create music that would inspire earl's next album might be one of the most beautiful 'moments' in genre's history
Never knew that first part
You got anywhere I can read or hear more about this?

It's a hard tee
idk if its just me but on Sentry MIKE is doing this thing where you have to 'adjust your ears' to hear his flow 'in flow' with the melody because otherwise it sounds like he's off rhythm. like when I first heard the song I thought the cadence is too robotic and doesn't match but if you actually listen to the instrumental 'together' with the lyrics you find its totally in sync and makes sense
maybe its because there are no drums. I hear it sometimes with other music like when they do blast beats in extreme metal and it escapes groove and becomes super 'robotic' and kinda weird. idk if its a phenomenon and if theres a word for it but I been hearing it forever
Gonna sit with this, kind of speaks to how I really didn't like how Mike started his verse
lmfaooo
This nigga a a******
lmfaooo
Did you see that one tweet from like a week ago that said “Akai Solo is getting swole and its imposing”

What are we thinking? This gonna drop midnight?
We can pray but earl hasn’t said s***. Only Al is doing any promo which makes it seem like he wants it out more than earl and is forcing the drop
What are we thinking? This gonna drop midnight?
When you unlock the single on the AR game thingy it still has the “come back tomorrow” thing underneath it so something is still coming
If not the album then at least a pre-order for it
Never knew that first part

Mike's very first Pitchfork feature mentions Earl's influence even if it doesn't specify idls (im sure he mentions that album somewhere else): pitchfork.com/features/rising/mike-is-ushering-in-a-new-generation-of-new-york-city-rap
for Earl I gotta dig more but theres a tweet in that article where he literally calls Mike his son and thats as far back as 2017
What are we thinking? This gonna drop midnight?
its dropping lol an insider itt confirmed it yesterday idk how it flew over everyones radar
