The song isn't very good. I like Earl and I'm sure his other stuff will be better but the flow is fucked/sloppy and the lyrics are just really generic shit to make sure he has as dense rhymes as he can.

it's basically like hearing what white teenagers record when they learn that technicality is a thing in hip-hop.

Let's just say if it was anyone else but Earl, people wouldn't think it was very good unless you're someone whose mouth is left gaping by that kind of stuff easily. In which case you also probably like Twista.

Like he just kind of shoves so many words/syllables in each lines and it overflows until it kind of sounds sloppy. But like I said he probably even recorded it in like one or a few takes. It's not like he can't flow amazingly (see: Kill)

and I just realized he name dropped Lil B in that song. Can't believe I didn't catch that before #Fresh as fuck

God's Father is going to be legendary. I'm kind of on the fence about his blurring the lines between Based and conventional hip-hop, but I still can't wait for it.

If February's Confessions doesn't make you feel something in his pretty bitch pink socks, then u aren't allowed to listen to music. And he kills David Banner on I Got Swag then makes up with him and tells everyone to go post positive stuff on his Facebook page. What a god amongst men.

They kinda are. Not literally typical in the sense of "these EXACT lyrics could be found in any 'battle-rapper turned recording artist'" but yeah, I feel like I could hear this on any amateur "technical rapper" with good-to-mediocre wordplay, which isn't what I enjoyed Earl's other stuff for and the flow does suck..........

;)

also Liquid #Based would be an amazing remix but what would be so beautiful I'd cry is if someone remixed Reasonable Doubt with WOOs and SWAGs. I mean...just imagine...

Yeah but I wouldn't even listen to Lil B in the same context as listening to Earl Sweatshirt so I don't see how that'd be a valid comparison. Lil B goes usually past hip-hop conventions and Earl Sweatshirt usually stays tucked nicely in the confines of "for hip-hop heads" rapping. Not that that's a bad thing.

"i listen to all rappers in pretty much the same fashion. if one is bad he/she is bad in every context. i try not to make excuses or attempt to legitimize a rapper because of his unique flow or lyrical subject matter."

But not all hip-hop has the same goals or are trying to do everything at all because not all of them just have the goal of "going as hard as possible". I can't imagine listening to Koopsta Knicca in the same context as I would Reasonable Doubt-era Jay-Z nor would I listen to Kendrick Lamar in the same context as I would Waka Flocka or any Brick Squad member (maybe Gucci Mane cuz he can go hard but yeah)

"but this, this is bad even when you compare it to based god."
Basically all hip-hop is.

@planewreck: Lil B's flow wasn't SUPPOSED to be on point, though. His entire POINT is how he breaks these boundaries so criticizing his flow is like criticizing Steve Reich for being repetitive but I'm not going to get into that. I think I'm just going to write an essay on Lil B's appeal and just hand out .pdf links at some point.
