We all agree Earl Sweatshirt is the best young lyricist in Hip Hop right now, right?

[WickedGames]

This kid is vicious with the pen. I don't think any rapper around his age is seeing him

You circus nikkas, you turning into tricks
I was making waves, you was surfing in 'em
Dealing with the stomach pains just from birthing nikkas' shyt
Cut the grass off the surface
Pray the lawnmower blade catch the back of a serpent, nikkas' shyt

I dunno but he's definitely up there that verse you quoted is

not even close

 

[Jack Skellington]

No

He's easily the best lyricist in his age group. I've said for a while I believe he's one of the best lyricist in the game. Dude can rap. He's just so monotone and right now he's trying to find himself

I like him as an artistic. I love moody music at times. But I understand people not liking his music. Nobody can tell me he ain't lyrically seasoned tho

 

[Tide Run This]

Easily just got through listening to IDLSIDGO DAP AND REP THREAD STARTER

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Great mic presence

Loved both of his albums. His style will always sell due to the Odd Future bandwagon

Yeah I thought he was going to take the next step after Doris but he was going through a lot on the follow up album

No disrespect to Earl... but sell what, exactly?

Odd Future fans done moved on to the next bandwagon, Future himself.

Aslong as his albums are accessible in most stores (where i live they sell his cds) im not talking kayne numbers. He has a cult following that will support him without him dumbing his material down.

i'll take vince staples. he gets a lot of hate because he's got a big fukking mouth. but holy fukk that kid can rap his ass off. and it's crazy how all the sarcasm, the wit, and the dark humor he shows in interviews comes across just as clearly in his pen game.
