I DON'T LIKE SHIT AND I DON'T GO OUTSIDE > TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY

YOU HEAR ME @oats

@Diode did this to embarass me.

WHY HAVE U FORSAKEN ME DIODE ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!*@*@*×¥×¥+9

YOU AIN'T GOTTA LIE TO KICK IT, DANCAKE

glad to hear I'm part of the NC white intelligentsia crowd, though.

nah but it's a classic album tbh. I'm comfortable saying it now. had to build up the courage to call it so quickly, but it is what it is. I feel like people hear For Free and King Kunta and are turned off within the first 3 songs, thus missing Institutionalized, Alright, How Much a Dollar Cost, Complexion, You Ain't Gotta Lie, etc. Not a single subpar track imo, and as an album it flows well.

MBDTF is an apt comparison in ways, just in terms of the grandeur of the album. But I personally thing To Pimp a Butterfly had more vision behind it, more focus, and overall executed pretty flawlessly. At once it sounds old-school and fresh, heavy undertones of jazz, soul, g-funk/funk, etc. It's been on heavy rotation at the oats compound, to say the least.

It's definitely dope.

I cringed @ the Tupac interview if I'm being honest. I get what he's going for, and he's being earnest, but...idk. I

'u' is probably my favorite song of the year. Not hating it on it. Probably a 9/10 in my mind when it's all said and done. Just dunno about masterpiece.

I'm still holding this jar of butterfly's wondering why I'm not making no fuckin money yet

This is ridiculous. Earl Sweatshirt needs to stop with this self-production crap. It's minimalism if it's intentional. It's cheap and stupid if you simply don't know how to make a good beat and won't hire someone to do it for you.

I likes it.

BARS. SO MUCH BARS. DARK. BEE BOOP. DUUURRRMM. BARS.

Maybe it's the fact I suffered through Mr. Wonderful's so-called rapping then went straight to a prime-Eminem level rapper. It's like, you know, if you live in Siberia then you go to Ohio. But Earl's better than Ohio so that's a bad example. Winter.

I Don't Like Shit is more enjoyable to listen to than TPAB, I think. But TPAB will grow on me and eventually I'll be all like "TPAB is the year's best; the afrocentricality and tonal spread, not to mention the overarching THEMES really puts it in rarefied air." I probably will say stuff like that. But right now, IDLS > TPAB.

Plus you like Doris and that's a horseshit ensemble album. This that straight Earl.

WORD.

i didnt do shit

remove the s in https

magic happens

it has always been that way

Doris had better beats. I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside has better rap. Let's get Earl Sweatshirt some professional producers, possibly even outside the Odd Future clique.

I've honestly never listened to Earl Sweatshirt (when my old special ed students were in to it, I took it as a sign that I wouldn't/I'm an elitist asshole). Someone drop some links por favor

lol oats thats wild.

personally i think if you're able to cultivate a special ed fanbase you're doing something right.

if only self-interested intellectual dickbags are tuning into your music what does that say about you?

IT MEANS YOU'RE A GENIUS

lol nah that's an exaggerated statement, I took interest in a lot of shit my kids were into, just never expanded it to Earl Sweatshirt for some reason. I got some legit kendama skill though.

this album is awesome

be alright, u, hood politics, for free, complexion, i dunno man.

once you take away all the extra intense jazz filler and interludes its really not tough to listen to its just good music

so much going on in here. im gonna have to give this a solid listen after all. probably tonight. dont feel like it now -since it seems you really have to listen to enjoy it. but if dancake says it has bars on bars on bars.. then i have to accept that. i trust his taste in music, as well as some others here.. if nothing else. i have a no from @uh-oh, whos opinion i trust -but knowing he doesnt like m.dot -it could be biased. so a yes from @Dancake will drive me to listen

i will peep
