Earl Sweatshirt's Forgotten Masterpiece
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- What I like the most about Earl is the way that he intricately expresses his Trauma through his lyricism. Even without reading his backstory, we all know that he had a tough relationship with both of his parents, his grandmother has always been his rock and that he’s found himself in the abyss of soul searching in his journey of life.
Apart from his journey of soul searching produced an EP called Solace. The experimental hip hop EP was uploaded to his unofficial RUclips channel dar Qness on April 28, 2015.
Many of us didn’t expect it, nor knew what to make of it, especially the first listen around.
Solace brings us through the emotional rollercoaster of being at rock bottom. Earl uses the medium of creating music to get out of this abyss. Although this EP isn’t on streaming services nor his official channel, I think that it is an essential piece to his career.
Earl was able to bring his emotions to the table, once again. By translating this mental state into sound, he showed thousands of others that they are not alone.

I listened to Solace last year on the night I found out that my grandfather had passed away. I'm thankful for that EP, it was the only thing that comforted me that night.
Same I listen to it every sunday because 1 I hate school 2 it’s keewl 3 I love it😊
hey man, hope you’re feelin better now. Funny enough, I did the same two years ago. Forever grateful for this EP for what it got me through and continues to get me through. It’s beautiful.
You found solace in “Solace”
I MISSED OUR TALKS FINALLY YOUR BACK BRO❤
This is hardly a forgotten masterpiece for me personally as this has always been my favorite song from Earl and its nice to come back to it from time to time
it’s an EP
I don't think solace is forgotten. I think it's just treated as sacred while also not exactly being a good conversation piece with your day to day people.
Could you imagine? Instead of an ocean of people dancing and shouting lyrics, an ocean of people silently brooding and disassociating. People staring down a dark highway driving home after losing a loved one, people on their 5th shift of the week making sandwiches and coffee filled with bitterness and apathy. People who haven't gotten out of bed in days. people parked in front of the liquor store, calculating how to get their fix and not have their partner or parents or nurses know.
Oddly enough I'm sure those are a lot of the same people who go to those festivals and bounce around, but there isn't a public forum for misery unless you want to go to an AA meeting.
Life is strange. Im hurting a lot these days, but I love all of you.
Sending love to you homie
Send love and care to you, you’re not alone may you grow stronger than your sorrows.
Sending my love! 🙏🏽💕 keep being strong homie
Solace is up there with the greatest EP's of all time. Each part adds to the last. Great video and I am glad you're back
Solace was there for me so much throughout my depression. Whenever I feel like I have hit the absolute bottom, it's the warm blanket that just wraps itself around you when in need.
Same I always go to it on my worst days… thankfully I haven’t had to listen to it in a while
Same foo. I had this shit on repeat when I was battling depression. I stayed inside and hated everything. Only watched black and white movies with the sound off while playing solace endlessly
its nice knowing people felt the same. much love yall
I GOT MY GRANDMOMMA’S HANDS 😭😭😭 that bars was dee asf
Fact. I have my a grandfathers hands, we also share the same birthday. He’s getting old and it’s hard to think about life without him cause I’ll constantly be reminded of him
That's yall, I ain't never forget solace
Solace is a scary piece of work. Earl is very talented at rendering thousand-yard-stare depression sonically. Solace? Peanut? Terrifying music really, it's not something I want to revisit often because, as a self destructive person, I lean into it.
"It's me and my nibbling conscious, nigga I'm fixing to give up." Probably some of the heaviest words every pieced together
Idlsidgo came out when I was going through a break up. I discovered solace right before my grandma passed away. And then SRS came out right after I got out of rehab. I feel a very strange, specific connection to earl and I hope the shake that man's hand one day
thanks for using my beat in the intro + great video :)
Solace not really forgotten but I respect the clickbait
i just had the worst thanks giving of my life thanks for uploading
i would love to know what happened if u would be so kind n spill some tea
Earl is a legend
it’s more popular on tiktok, so i wouldn’t say it’s completely forgotten, but it isn’t talked about in major detail besides videos dedicated to it
I hate the way you pronounce Solace lol
Its the right way
Nah real earl fans know solace isn't anywhere near forgotten.
Exactly
lol i was literally listening to solace and this came up on my recommended
many of dark nights spent with this one on repeat......
Never forgotten. I have a tattoo that i designed myself, specifically for this song
Used to listen to this repeatedly when it dropped on my first year at university, would put in on loop during those long night studying at the library

I loved Solace’s bars so much I made a cut version with fewer beat transitions on my old channel. Still on RUclips lol
I cut the shit out of that, holds up well 😊
Kneecaps gon love this one
glad to have you back, love the content
Time waits for no man
Death waits with cold hands
I'm the youngest man that you know
If your souls intact let me know
how do you edit these videos man? is there anyway I can contact you?
lets gooooo
i listen to solace constantly, it's fire
3:12 Joaquin Phoenix's older brother
Happy to see the upload.
Ty for giving us lonely fucks something to watch on thanksgiving.
No way u got in w moderat that’s sick
It’s not really “forgotten” IMO
People just can’t bring themselves to the immense emotion in it.
solace is sadly becoming more popular by the day bc of 16 yr olds on tiktok. def not close to forgotten
*solace is thankfully becoming more popular by day because the young generation uses their platform to spread art they value
I remember listening to Solace with my best bud on new year’s eve 2020, the day that DOOM’s death was announced. Solace came on his recommendations so we watched it. This EP just hit harder within the context of everything that was happening. It’s tied with some rap songs as my favorite Earl project, but it’s definitely my favorite EP of all time.
Doomsday and solace would make me cry
Where can I listen
Good having you back
Far from forgotten
WELCOME BACK!!!
Blueblood goat
I never forgot
straight ten
Fantastic video.
This was a good video!
at 7:04 I always found this more as him saying if you made it out let him know it's possible, because he doesn't know if it is.
this song is the reason i am still here, ill be forever thankful to earl
Ngl I discover this ep through tik tok and I used to think that solace was just a song that didn’t make it on some rap songs since it had such similar sound to me
Thats always been my favorite earl song
Solace definitely isn’t forgotten it’s sill very remember
this isnt forgotten lmao. this EP has rapidly grown in popularity more than any of Earl's other works (aside from Some Rap Songs). This analysis also was kind of bland and lacks any deep analysis, more just vague observations and pointing out the obvious in mental health and obsessive nature and the grief that he holds in his hands.
solace changed my life
I love earl
who edits these videos?
I edit everything myself!
I always felt like I was in a prison stuck with drug abuse, family issues, losing family members. I got so numb to it
“it was like that whole time we’ll be alright” “staying up all night” where the drug abuse started then quitting felt like “I’m fixing to give up” there was a few people there for me “I’ve been alone for the longest” how I felt with myself. But solace made me feel like I wasn’t alone
solace is forgotten?
Definitely not forgotten about
