With two deceptively simple, but truly superior bars—”I'm not OK, but I'm gon' be alright” and “Free Gaza, we on the corner like Israelites”—Earl conveyed more about Israel’s relentless assault on Gaza than most of his peers.

This is a huge factor, even when they dumb themselves down all the music publications continue to treat them like conscious rappers and gas up the most basic lines. Why put in effort when just mentioning Gaza has Complex and Pitchfork treating you like Gil Scott Heron

Lmaooo

“Dumbing down” and it’s just earl and wsg using a dif subgenre of beats for the first time since 2013 😭

Lucki just got less depressed lol
Earl makes very unique stuff when he sues trap beats it’s his best music of the past 5 years, and he rly loves surfgang and clams and s***. His fav album is sorry 4 da flex 3 by K$upreme
Wsg prolly wanted to not do a boom bap song for once

I need a full trap album by Earl every time he does it it’s great and unique and I love it that bnyx snip is great it would be the best s*** he’s made since srs guarantee it

Producer is popular = bad for rapper to use them and automatically not unique

Earl TAPPED in, wow. i love it

imagine how much this website could thrive if the niggas with sticks up they ass came together with the new sounds and energy like Earl been doing since getting over himself lmao

Facts. That tape is so good btw he so valid for that

weird as hell thread premise

D**** R Bad pending/loading lol

18:40-21:15

U have a surprisingly condescending view of a lot of these subgenres dawg

I had a LiveMixtapes/Spinrilla app full of that type of music a decade ago and i promise you i’ll outlast you in a trap niggas we listen to right now-off 😆 i have nothing against that general style of music outside of it going from some niggas genuine expression to niggas just being lazy/wanting to fit in. i like some of those type songs from Earl and Mike but I feel like s*** below is way more innovative, same for Lucki old style

It just feels like “the disease” of everyone wanting to sound the same has finally even reached the niggas who used to hold the torch of standing “over there”

Im also gonna try to ignore the undertones of a whiteboy saying this “to me” lmao (they have no choice but to talk like this or be looked at as a racist lmao). Niggas (or #FFFFF’s in this case) ain’t never heard of NGeeYL or Lil Tony or Street Money Boochie lmaoo or even someone otw up in that lane rn like Belly Gang Kush trying to tell me I’m looking down on trap music because I want the weird beat niggas to keep giving me weird beat niggadom

Lmao this would work on anyone else who hasn’t been tapped into “that type of music” since it literally started lol

it’s crazy how good body high is really my favorite lucki album

He’s one of the only niggas from that side of hip hop that can get in that bag with no effort

Making the Band and 2010 some of my favorite Earl tracks, most niggas with that rap style would not sound as cool as he does on those type beats

I know it ain’t his most recent but flawless like me probably lucki most depressed album lol nigga was going through it on there

worst thread

What’d cudi say? All I do is try to make it simple, the ones that make it complicated never get congratulated

i’m on d**** just like my auntie

His best album

looking down on trap music because I want the weird beat niggas to keep giving me weird beat niggadom

But that is by definition what you are doing by saying things like this.

The reason the “big 3” was the big 3 stood out so much due to their versatility because drake didnt just do 40 beats for his entire career and kendrick didnt just do sounwave beats for all his career. Even Cole finally realized he had to stop producing all his s*** (and cooked up a classic afterwards ironically)

the disease of everybody wanting to sound the same

That’s if you look at it like a disease and not just people vibing towards what they like. You posting MIKE clips to “prove a point” when it’s folks itt that have followed him for years on ig and see the type of music he posts in his stories, this just a natural progression.

The only time I see your point is Westside Gunn on And Then You Pray For Me but he’s already not like the greatest rapper tbh. Give Benny or Conway those “modern” beats and they goin off.

I just think everyone (even the trap niggas) should be able to branch out. I do agree with your earlier point about the street niggas should weird out too. I been wanting to hear YB on some sample s*** for years smh lol
