They passed Earl's challenge to talk abt the album without mentioning Madvillainy lol
Alexis Gutierrez has Earl actually challenged people to do this lmao?
@@LeePritch5 it was just a funny thing he tweeted after seeing some reviews
Alexis Gutierrez ahh ok, thanks
Why is it meant to sound similar?
I would love to see Earl & Solange Do some heArtwork together
Bend, we don’t break, we not the bank
Go Longhorns we all we got
Marlon Davis badabing, badabam; it’s the puppet master, all of the strings in my hand
My favorite track
I got that tattooed
Tell all my queens to keep mace
Earls sample game is on a different level..
I’d say hanging with knx helped
preach
@@eatfugu Agreed and he also did this type of production for Mach Hommy
Earl didn't produce blacknoise did
Moses Kanya Earl produced 10/15 tracks on this.
Black noise produced Nowhere2go
Sage produced The bends/Azucar
SOTC produced Ontheway!
And Knxwledge produced December 24
Nice to see Beezy more animated in a review again.
ronald bangtidy Beezy be high af. @Beezy420
@@reekhigh5789 He really appreciates Earl
@@beezy430 yo who was that other producer you said at the beginning of the review that isn't Knwxledge? I'm trying to find more artists that produce the low-fi boom bap sound similar to what's on this album or anything by MIKE or Medhane.
@@RimCrim63 He's talking about Dibia$e, dope producer, but my personal favorite producer in this style is Ohbliv, that dude's CRAZY with the samples and should be producing for bigger names than he's doing now, sooo underrated. Check out 'Made For This' or 'Abundance Mindset' by him. Oh and Dark Twaine is another dope producer too, his stuff is even more abstract, definitely check out his beat called 'The Shifting Trickster'.
@@zkete you a real one thanks a bunch my guy
This album is a masterpiece. The vulnerability, the honesty, the self awareness and clarity. How the production mirrors the never ending cycle of depression, with its infinite loops. The beats are swallowing Earl as he tries to clear his head and get peace of mind. Him trying to run and escape his pain, only to realize it’s “NOWHERE2GO”. It’s really an album of a man who watched his life fall apart before his eyes, and instead of running from this sadness and depression, come to terms with it. Acceptance, and finding peace within yourself. So simple, yet so complex and attention to details/nuances. Lyrics, production, everything was perfect. 10/10 could talk about this album forever honestly.
Dante Nice breakdown dude.
Fat facts
Nicely put
@M C bro chill
@M C people have different tastes. it would be more constructive if you would present your feelings and opinions on why you think it's not a 10/10 like this guy's saying, instead of just saying that he's wrong.
PEACE TO EVERY CREASE ON YA BRAIN
ApexAntt . What does that mean?
@@williamlavagna1096 i think he means, peace to everything that is troubling you on your mind whatever you may be going through
I almost teared up when I heard this line
ApexAntt brain crease refers to the folding membranes on the brain. Earl was rapping about how he's been abusing drugs which "rot" the brain. So he's basically saying goodbye to his dying brain cells from the drug consumption. This is how I think of it anyway.
I think its a triple entendre. 1. "Peace to every crease thats on your brain" Hes saying peace as in good bye here. When your clothes are wrinkled and has many creases, you iron it. Rappers sometimes refer to guns as iron. So he has the iron to your brain maybe saying hes gonna kill you or blow your mind.
This is album of the year. Some Rap Songs is for all the depressed introverts struggling through life. Props to Earl for delivering another masterpiece.
Joshua Sutton Bron still trash tho 🤫
Joshua Sutton ur gay
Educated Put an u and an n in front of your name sir.
DizzyJimmy ❤️♥️❤️
Definitely not a masterpiece, but I understand loving a concept so much that you can’t let yourself find any faults in it so I get where you’re coming from.
Myke always has the best explanations on the show
Most certainly.
absolutely.
yeh he killed that shit
Myke is the best.
Plus he has gorgeous hair
Say goodbye to my openess total eclipse,

" Peace to every crease on your brain,/
Peace to everyone who came before me in this game,/"
One of my favorite lines
My eyes say my soul is amiss
The signs say we’re close to the end
Joshua Sutton nigga thats not even the same song
From my shine that i've grown to miss
Myke C-Town literally hates every album on the first listen. Then, with subsequent listens, he ends up loving them. It's the same story every review lol. Love him though.
And this is why first listen reviews are usually a bad idea, lol 😂
Hey it’s just who he is
@@luyindulamatondo4586 only for certain people they're multiple ways to digust music.
“I found a new way to cope, it ain’t no slaving my soul but, I keep the memories close by. Even when I hit a low, I still give thanks to the most high”.
Earl and Knxwledge need to drop a tape
This is heavily needed
There not that close
I think they had a falling out
They have a short track together, Balance
Bruh you ain’t lying
When I found out Earls dad died earlier this year damn near every lyric made more sense to me as well as the sequencing....
Christopher Adams earl has has the hardest year, his dads passing and mac millers death obviously put him through a lot of pain
This review as long as the album lol
I was wondering if it was longer when I first saw the timestamp
Andrew Feminella fr tho. Literally every video that’s a review of this album has this comment.
Thanks guys, we've been waiting on this for a while. Dead end hip hop came through today.
Edit: I didn't expect beezy to be so enthusiastic about the album. That was surprising.
Extra edit: reviews like this are why I'm subbed to this channel. Myke completely changed my perspective on this album. I'm glad there's content like dehh in hip hop culture. This was great all around.
Agreed 1000%
Love to everybody.
B liking this isn’t that surprising in my opinion. He loves this kind of production & he’s always spoken very highly of Earl
@@srr1331 it's because, in twitter, B kinda dislike Nowhere2Go and Mint as singles. I wasn't expecting him to like this album
Beezy always loves Earl Albums, in general lofi albums
“There’s no stand out lines”
Bruh did you not listen to Azucar 🧐.
Or ontheway ? My nigga had straight bars
Loosie got nothing but quotables
Yea man that song alone is a perfect 10
"my cussion was a bussom on bad days, there's not a black woman I can't thank" 😭
Veins Bro!!!!!
Before I watch, I’m gonna predict that Myke is gonna talk about how he didn’t like it at first but after his 942nd listen it finally clicked.
Welp 😂
To be fair, I'd say the large majority of people felt this way.
Facts
I mean, I felt the same way. And honestly, all music changes the more you listen to it.
that lil outro on Ontheway! hits a different type of way
Atrocity Exhibition is the movie, Some Rap Songs is the novelization.
Otter Donnelly interesting observation
myke gotta start writing novels about his journey to liking an album
Myke's grape analogy was interesting and so on point.
Earl found his core sound on this project. I always knew he had talent but wasent really a fan. After Some Rap Songs, I'm an Earl fan.
I think this album is freaking amazing. There's no wasted motion, everything here has a purpose. Some of the songs might feel a bit samey at times but that's not a big issue for me. Earl really did his thing here.
That production is cohesive as hell.
Riot! was a celebration of finally leaving that depressive state and it samples his uncle "Hugh Masekela" who he mentions on the track before that.
I was learning about Hugh Masakela in World Music class and I raised my hand to telll the class hes Earls uncle
J D Flores Music (:
Damn, if Earl can make Beezy animated as a producer, then anyone can bump this 😂
Traplover7 yea his genuine reacting finally let me kno IM the 1 thats trippin lbs
This is straight up Earl's best work, he didn't take the easy route. He could have done some generic shit but chose instead to experiment more and develop his style.
This album feels more like depression with drugs and AE feels more like anxiety problems with drugs, at least to me. I literally can’t listen to AE anymore because it gives mean anxiety attack. But when I’m having an anxiety attack, that album can help me feel not alone. I feel like this album is the same with depression, along with IDLSIDGO. It just sounds different when you’re going through something than it does when you’re not
Exactly
The covers of two of my favorite albums in one thread. Bless you all.
What’s AE
Atrocity Exhibition?
@@diegoisawesomeable Atrocity Exhibition
Some Rap Interludes
Imprecise words...
Weave Crew DREEEEEEEEEEEEEAMS
Blast off we trick or treating
Earl came through for the culture
rickyricardo430 Yes sir.
W
It doesn't seem like this was made to "come through for the culture"
312
But it does compliment the culture
Peanut is one of the most haunting and beautiful tracks ive ever heard. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety it sounds like those emotions in song form. And his flow and content on Loosie was in my opinion a technical masterclass. This is my AOTY
Right! Its haunting for me specifically cause he just slowed the playing possum beat down all the way and took his father's words and flipped it to that weird draining sound at the end and middle of the track. But when his father in playing possum says "to have a home is not a favor". I bout teared up cause that goes back to tracks like Faucet "I dont know who house to call home lately". From his mom, to the island and back to bouncing around. It's just so beautiful, cause it's not a favor- it's a blessing. That's what I hear everytime that track ends. Fucking masterpiece man
yes bruh sad no one talked about it
I have that song on loop
"Young man flung soliloquy off the tongue tip"
One of the best songs of the year
Yeah, I know I'm a king
Stock on my shoulder, I was sinkin'
I ain't know that I could leave
Papa called me chief
Gotta keep it brief
Locked and load, I can see you lyin' through your teeth
*red waters the best track*
Nah bro veins>
I don’t know if anyone else has said this but to me...
This whole album just sounds like depression. Having struggled with depression myself and being an artist, the short songs remind me of the feeling of struggling to create art and follow it through by making a full piece. A lot of times depression can sap all motivation and you give up half way through. But even those unfinished stream of consciousness attempts speak volumes in hindsight.
Also the drowned out vocals remind me of the inability or unwillingness to give voice to your inner feelings and allowing those feelings to slip away and go unheard. Like unconsciously avoiding the need to confront yourself.
I don’t know if anyone else relates but this album really hit me like that and listening to it on repeat has compelled me to fight through my own shit. Great album.
Edit: Great project, Earl. Hope you get through what you’re going through.
Im glad I'm not the only one thinking that this album embodies manic depression
Man y’all are so respectable and great for these younger artists that are going through some shit. Y’all definitely make these depressed and anxious artists feel much more special and comfortable in their skin, which they should be feeling already. Earl has been one of my favorites since I’ve gotten into rap. And I wish he realized how talented of a writer/rapper/producer he is. Dude is on another level of music making. Love y’all and hope all these artists that you praise thrive in life. I believe all y’all deserve prosperity and happiness with what y’all do. You AND the artists. Earl I love you, DEHH I love you. Y’all have both impacted my life in great ways.
wholesome
"I ain't touch a xan, when it-
/When it's time to put my burnt body in a case
/Tell my momma I said thank you"
That line he is just saying to tell his mom he said thank you for helping him get off of xans
Oooh, eyedea pfp.
No one else think the way his vocals were done on red water and the name of the track etc, it’s was done so to make it sound like he’s drowning in his thoughts and feelings, so he sounds like he’s kind of underwater being drowned-out by the beat
yea dying, Red Water = blood.
I feel like you need to relate to Earl before you can really enjoy and see what he’s doing. I remember not being the biggest fan before phases of depression and bad acid trips an all dat. But once you walk a mile in his shoes his art just changes you and you can truly appreciate his art. So I completely understand why people didn’t like it, it’s not for everyone.
This album is a great modern example of a musical piece of art, like a real suite of music that all cohesively fits together beautifully and quite perfectly. This is definitely an album-listener's album. You don't just take single pieces and put it in your mixtape (I mean, you could, but this album doesn't go for that at all). And like what they said, especially Myke, this album portrays depression perfectly. This is what an album like 17 by X should have been (RIP X), in my opinion. Maybe that album is to some people, but this album, Some Rap Songs, is a sonic art piece. Even the name of the album, Some Rap Songs, adds to the art, as if he was so depressed he can't even give the album a proper name, but the name fits it so well. Beautiful album, Earl, as well as being stand-out, and very unique in this modern wave of hip-hop.
Best interpretation so far.
It flows really well every track flows into each other
Beezypedia comes through again 🤷🏾♂️
Knxwledge didn't birth that lo-fi sound he just has a good interesting take that definitely goes to Madlib and Dilla more so Madlib, The mint sounds like some shi Madlib would do.
Definitely Madlib and Dilla vibes
Dunno if anyone’s saying knxwledge birthed it, he’s signed to stones throw MADLIBS label lol he’s a newer guy than dilla or madlib I don’t think that’s what beezy was insinuating.
@@fakenamerealchungus9851 just wanted to let people know if they didn't bout Madlib and Dilla incase they haven't looked into the genre themselves Knx is definitely doing his thing though I support him when I can all his shi fire and cuh aint too bad at Pub G mobile I've talked to him quite a bit he's coo asf.
Gotta shout out Flying Lotus too. He definitely helped pioneer that lo-fi sound.
@@andymayhem4930 Flying Lotus is great but I'd say he came a lil after/gained notoriety, Madlib and Dilla released their best work. Madlib and Dilla are definitely at the top the of the pyramid, without Madlib you wouldn't have Donuts.
This album is pretty different from "Doris" and "I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside".
SRS was one of the best albums of 2018 , was a pretty solid project that shows the maturity of Earl's style.
I love this album so much. Earl makes music that you listen to multiple times in order to appreciate it.
ShutYoMouth like doom
As someone who had a bad acid trip.i think this album catches the feeling of a riddled mental state after the trip better then it does in the trip
Ps shatterd dreams is a master peice
I understand why people hate this album, but in all honesty, after a few listens, I can easily say, this is Earls best album and the best album to come out this year. This is low key our generations Madvillainy.
Sadvillainy
naah, naah, it's a great album, but Madvillainy is hell other thing.
David Sosa I wouldn’t compare it. But I think it’s fair to make those comparison s
most people love it from what I've seen
Fred Forlorn SRS is amazing, it’s a solid 9 but madvillainy 2nd best OAT
When Myke mentioned that the repetitiveness on Red Water could be like the rumination in Earl’s mind, it made me think of all the things that are huge themes of this album and a little on the previous one-loss of a loved one, intoxication/drug use, psychosis (in this case drug induced psychosis?), insomnia and rumination-these are all key risk factors for suicide. I just was listening to the album again and on Eclipse the line “the signs say he close to the end” stuck out at me this time. Really harrowing
And they mentioned how well the project loops back into itself-again like rumination, the thoughts going over and over. Ugh this album is just crazy no words
This album isn’t for me but I appreciate Earl's passion for his music and the effort he puts into lyrics and production. Maybe I'm gonna like his next project more again.
listened to earl since his first mixtape nd we were both highschool age. love to see the artist hes evolved into, he never sold out for fame and hes a great poet like his dad. earl is a very under appreciated part of hip hop and lyricism. He was better than 90% of rappers at like 16
Myke the kid C Town back again!
I honestly feel the same way. Got so bored on first listen. But when I woke up the next day, I felt enticed to try again. It never really "clicked" but as I listened over the next week or so, I started it really enjoy every moment of it.
when Rod said “who does the shrooms?” sounding like Old Man Ken at 15:48 i damn near died lmaooo
Honestly I was expecting at least 3/5 of y'all to just rip this album to shreds but it's a real pleasant surprise to see that you guys dig it. It's definitely my album of the year.
Why would u feel that though?...this project reps the whole "culture" as much as anything released this year!..it's no frills and unapologetic in it's execution
@@trinigooner8865 these guys have had problems with more experimental, lo fi projects in the past. Obviously for their own important reasons, but I was worried they would write this one off.
I was kinda waiting on you guys talking about a song like Peanut, that shit was so depressing, the atmosphere is so dark
The fact that the optimistic and bright Riot immediately follows after....chills man!
i think my favorite thing about dehh is that they can cover an album i don't plan on listening to and still enjoy the conversation
I really hope you listened to it though
The way I saw this album was similar to your views, however things get different near the end. By the time azucar and veins come around Earl sounds extremely at peace with his family, his circumstances, and his friends, eccentuated by lines like "peace to every crease on your brain". Playing possum is somewhat of a reconciliation with his parents, celebrating their opinions and their achievements. After his father's death everything changes on peanut, where he finds himself relapsing back into the substance abuse detailed at the beginning of the album, this time clearly harder than it was before. Riot! comes in as a bittersweet end, a time of refuge after this depressing journey while also providing hope for the future. He will riot against his mental state, he won't let himself be trapped without giving up a fight. Perfectly looping into shattered dreams, this once again shows the cyclical and erratic nature of depression, coupled with the crowded and looped beats like Myke was mentioning. Im curious to see what you guys think, there's so much to dissect with this album and I feel like I'm getting more and more out of it each time
Matthew Trapp great analysis man 💪🏽
It's interesting that so many people have had the same experience with this album. I like know where to go when I heard it about a year ago but not quite as clear audio. I actually really like the song The Mint as well. This album makes you think about it when you aren't listening to it that's why it's so amazing. This album is an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible
Amazing conversation and review, thank you again guys
Top 3 albums of this year for me
"Respect my Cripp'n" -Blueface
yea aight
@@MylesSquared Aye, we just tryna handle bih'ness
@john1987805, facts on the deadlocs
Can somebody translate those verses for me? Sounds like shit.
Song was honestly fire
Amazing freaking review! Honestly a contender for one of your best reviews and I've been watching everything since the start of 2012. You guys always manage to either keep up or top yourselves.
I love this album. This review just made me love it more. Thank you.
Bad acid did damage to my mental....
Thank you. Merry Christmas guys.
Shoutout to Earl for putting on all the Detroit representation. Denmark Vesey and Black Noise did it right.
That jolly rancher analogy had me crackin up
Haven't heard the album, but I loved that concept Myke was talking about as far as short songs conveying scatterbrain feels with different moods and thoughts weaving in and out. Gonna have to listen
Stopped eating dinner with family and avoiding studying for finals for this
Totally worth it
who tf studies for finals?
zoet b Agreed. The only people that would study for finals is people who want to pass. What is wrong with this guy?
I need to pass at least gotdamn 😂
@@joshuasutton983 my point is studying is for idiots. never studied a day in my life and still passed my finals. people stress for no reason
Dope review. Dope album. Hearing Myke passionately talk about grapes vs. grape jolly ranchers was legendary.
It’s weird I’m basically the same age as Earl and have been listening to him since basically beginning. Ive always related to Earl I’m similarly “dark”. I’ve had really tough year( I lost my cousin and lost my grandfather recently). I put this album on and it clicked right away.
Earl perfectly captured the emotions of depression and loss while not feeling good enough. All while watching the world crumble. This album is a true masterpiece imo.
If you like this album, you should check out Black Noi$e & Navy Blue - Soul Golden and MIKE - May God Bless Your Hustle.
Solid rec, MIKE is fantastic
Love that y'all pointed out how the repetitive structure of the songs could be expressing how memories replay over and over while you're in that grieving/depressive mental state because that's exactly what hit me like a ton of bricks after a couple of listens. Something else that hit me was how the distortion throughout the thing especially throughout Riot and how it fades out really makes me think of how grief and longing and regret can taint memories and sort of distort them. Peanut, which I think is the dreariest-sounding track, to me sorta feeling like hitting rock bottom in the midst of a depressive episode, is juxtaposed with Riot which is more uplifting and nostalgic, and it makes me think of winding down from an episode of grieving and being left to wallowing in your own memories. The vibes of this album reminds me of the more ambient Bandcamp album "we'll all go riding on a rainbow" by The Caretaker, which centers around the idea of the mental state of Alzheimer's patients. Idk just some thoughts. I thought the bad acid-trip idea was really interesting because I didn't catch that. Damn I wasn't tryna write an essay but really, this is one of the most emotionally impactful albums I've heard in a while and I'm glad y'all gave your insight on it.
Another fantastic review as always, glad you guys loved this as much as me
Been waiting on this one! Really appreciate this review guys, your perspectives are always intriguing (especially Myke & Beezy in this one). Great work guys!
Honestly, this is what I've been waiting for Earl to do for a long time. Easily his best album. Very odd production, and his best lyrics to date. And that lazy ish flow that sounds so good.
bro y’all just came in so clutch with this upload 😩🙌
Myke captured the album beautifully.
they all came into this like "i don't know" and by the end they all talked themselves into loving it. That's the sign of amazing art- the more you think about it the better it gets. great album
Haven't watched the video yet but I'm really interested to see what you guys have to say about this album. For me personally on first listen I loved this shit just because of the production. Earl found his pocket on these lo-fi, sample heavy beats and I love Earl's rapping on these beats especially on the Mint and December 24. I do miss that aggressive sounding Earl on songs like Off Top where he's just spitting but this hit me after a couple listens and I love it. I wrote a comment on another video saying that to me it's like an extension of his Solace EP since on that project he really dives deep into his depression whereas on this album it seems like he's accepting his vices and questioning why he is the way he is, well that's how I see it anyway. Dope project
Daiton exactly my thoughts, tho I actually prefer this new sound over his old hard hitting stuff, just a matter of opinion tho.
Felt like I was in the room with you guys, took alot away from this. Favorite review by DEHH by far
Earl's best album period.
Cj Jones . His other albums must be diarrhoea then.
Cj Jones “
Doris “ Closer was insane it’s what made me become a fan and I’ve been paying attention to his beats ever since
Naw
Nah Doris will go down as a classic in the next 10 years or so
Cj Jones IDLSIDGO is better imo
1.IDLSIDGO
2.SRS
3.Doris
4.Earl
My favourite DEHH moments are in the mutual respect that gets expressed whenever Myke and Modest disagree, but work towards understanding one another. I love how patient and specific the conversation becomes when everyone in the conversation is actively working to understand everybody else. Thanks for that.
THANKS, GUYS! Been waiting on this one
happy y'all enjoyed this one! hopefully y'all do a benny review
ontheway one of my favorite songs because of the crazy instrumental this line was my favorite on the album:
I revisit the past
Port wine and pages of pads
Momma say don't play with them scabs
It's safe to say I see the reason I'm bleeding out
I need you now, closed lips make the mouth breathers frown
16:46 Kinges grandkids chillin in the background
Most of the album was made before his dad died except for 2 songs (peanut and riot)
juuzzy mor yeah I heard he put his dads poem in playing possum as a way to mold their relationship to be better but then he passed before he could hear it so it has a different meaning for people listening
Earl’s album is kinda like DEHH’s Channel, not alotta ppl know about it, but the ppl that do know about it knows how dope it is
Myke always with the great takes and interpretations, love him
Grape jollyrancher analogy was on point
it’s that sLums influence and you should review a MIKE project
Dope Review. I hope Streams of thought vol 2 is on the way
I think after this album we need to start having serious discussions on who's better, Earl or Kendrick. Putting their discography's against each other is so interesting.
I think Kendrick has a better discography, but I personally think "Some Rap Songs" is better than any of Kendrick's albums personally. TPAB is still 5/5 though.
I feel like the short tracks reflect the way motivation escapes you when you're really going through it. A lot of other artists seem to agree that it's hardest creating when you're really depressed, because it's hard to see a point. Although at the same time, when you do manage to write, it's some of the most potent shit. I guess the threshold is harder to cross over, so the stuff that does actually get through is intense.
The length of these songs were loosely inspired by Tierra Whack's "Whack World" where she had 15 tracks, all 1:00 a piece. Earl & Solange praised that album on their podcast "Stay Inside" and loved how she purposely made 15 cohesive tracks all one minute long yet fully got her point across in each one. I feel like he was so inspired by that that he sort of emulated that concept for this album.
Myke's comments about the jolly rancher vs grape idea was so spot on
I promise you guys I have been scouring the internet waiting for this one particular review thank you so much with that being said this is my favorite album of 2018
Really good review. Given me more clarity on the album.
Was really hoping Mach Hommy was gonna be on the album
I smoked weed before I listened to Some Rap Songs the first time...best decision I made all year. Album was incredible from the jump for me 🤷🏾♂️
i do really think that might be part of the trouble with the reception of this album, and that 90% of his fans just want him to make chum again
@@yxngraspy3291 And like B said, you gotta listen to shit like Knxlwdge and Diba$e to know the context of sound earl is going for and most of earls fan base are very passive listeners of music. Typically just listening to whatever pitchfork or whowever claims is the best album of that month.
@@Outliers4Life most of his fanbase are the heavy odd future hold-outs, people who still wear those donut shirts who wanna pretend its 2011. saw him at a college maybe a year back and a bunch of drunk dudes kept shouting at him to play chum. he didn't. he did do hive tho, and he rapped everybody's verse and it was fucking great
Bro I dropped acid before I listened to this shit was the most intense experience of my life
Yo same and it made the listen easier for me honestly and more trippy till i was more into the feeling of the song than the lyrics and beats themselves, although the beats were lit, but after actually listening sober I loved it even more with a clear head after remembering the feeling
This album is really an experience that captures a lot of emotions, and also allows the listener to experience that emotions with Earl. Great review!
Every time I listen to this shit I love it even more... you’ve really gotta sit with this one for a while. In my top 5 albums of the year
Been waiting for this !!
