Earl Sweatshirt - Doris (OUT NOW)

[12characters]

Short ass songs.

Well to be fair, "Earl" was short af.

[SG.]

Updizziated OP.

[Solace]

Short ass songs.

But 15 of them

So fuckin' excited. Hopefully he gets in one more video...Hive, c'mon.

[Solace]

My face as I wait impatiently for them.

Funny how he announced this stuff right after getting a buzz from "dissing" Jay-Z.

He didn't get a buzz, he got thousands of people telling him to commit suicide. Then he tweeted he didn't mean to insult Jay as a person, but he wasn't feeling the album.

I'm predicting top 5 hip-hop albums for 2013.

Definitely.

and the most of the guys who told him to commit suicide didn't even feel the album..

Updated OP. Hive video + features revealed.

[Solace]

Thoughts? I was kind of iffy on the half-leak but I'm coming to really enjoy this...The production is great aside from maybe Pre, which I'm not sure why features La' Flare, but this is really nice. I'm still on my initial thoughts, I'll probably buy this if I end up really liking it. Completely different from EARL.

99 problems all gone in that one joint.

I listened to about 3 songs then had to stop. Way too boring for me to get through.

[King Lance]

I liked it tbh, his flow started to grew on me after 2 listens

[Eedee]

I'm looking forward to listening to this. But I won't listen until it drops.

edit: Nevermind. Just listened to it. It's really laid back and chill. He has some dope rhymes and his flow is calming... I like this shit. I fuck with this.

[Solace]

Is that first track a joke track?

No. Shit is ill....Shouldn't have had Frank Ocean's cousin on it though. Solo Pre would have been grand.

Been bumping this too much. Gonna cop it next week....Earl kills all of his verses, forreal. Love his hoarse, dry, and tired delivery. It works with him and this atmosphere given off by the record...Even the packaging seems to fit the CD's mood. Domo Genesis surprised me too, I don't typically give much of a shit for him but I really enjoyed his verses on 20 Wave Caps & Knight.

^ I'm feeling his delivery, Solace. I agree with you, mane.

[Solace]

Is this the first Earl release you've listened to or have you heard his mixtape from when he was 15-16? EARL.

[Eedee]

Nah, first thing I've heard. My friend who's really into OF told me to check it out today, so I will.
