Earl Sweatshirt - Doris (2013)

[Poitier]

Good album. As much as I like Trap Lord a bit more for the turn up, it will be supplanted by the next ignorant banger in a few weeks. This is something I'll rock out to every few months when I want a brain massage. Just think, the progression Tyler made from Goblin ---> Wolf and if Earl can do that by learning how to craft an enjoyable song, get a little pop sensibility then I'm not worried about his career arc. 60k for no real promotion, outselling dudes like French Future and shyt... Not bad.

Chum is a single but DAMN that shyt go so hard...album is fire, nikka is WAY too nice

Wow. This is pretty fukkin' dope. Certainly the best Odd Future related release since the 'Earl/b*stard' era. Not totally seing the DOOM influence. Maybe you guys mean the way he's lowering his puberty voice to a monotone?

i'm enjoying this. it's washing the wackness that is asap ferg away.

Listened to this once, thought it was dope but I never want to listen to it again lol

Earl's monotone flow+these laidback beats make the overall product a little boring.

I enjoyed Trap Lord more

This is a solid release and better than Wolf

 

[Hammer]

way better than Big Seans, Kanyes and J coles albums

IMO best Odd Future release thus far. Lovin' this album, I really like the maturity Earl shows compared to 'Earl'

That Rza-track...

Lank? Or at least the Pharrell and RZA tracks?

 

[MINT]

I think Guild is my favorite song on the album. Mac Miller killed it. Earl did his thing. But then Chum is one of the greatest things I've heard in a long time. I dunno man. Then there earls part of Centurion. Then it's Molases. Then Domo. I mean this project is great.

went through this album last night, i was surprised and enjoyed the production. The RZA joint was interesting and laughed my ass off at the Hook..fukk the freckles off your face.

I feel pretty stupid for hating on Earl in the past. Just that OF hype aura they started out with really bugged me and Tyler's kinda of a cornball so I wrote off the whole crew. Been giving this an honest listen and it's pretty good. Not much energy but it's not a lazy album.

Who would be a better next listen that Tyler Wolf album or Domo Genesis + Alchemist tape they did?
