    Earl seems to have tendencies that are similar Jimi Hendrix. Jimi was the kind of person that wanted people to just chill and LISTEN to what he was singing, saying, and playing. He wasn't a huge fan of people screaming and acting up during songs. I can tell Earl really wants his audience to just listen and enjoy during certain songs, but people wanna go to a concert to turn up as much as possible. I hope that doesn't change Earl. Artistically, he's a very sophisticated rapper.

      comment monstor Thats true, but just because he's the product of something like that EARL IS AN ARTIST, he made this song from the heart; and deep shit like this aint nothing you suppose to be gooning on- that happy go lucky nigga didn't listen to the lyrics! He just feed of the image of what Odd future is. They talk about real shit under all that hype, and that's why he felt like he had to address him the way he did. LOL goofy!

    Ok, let me clear this up since there are like a 100 comments wonder how people could crowd surf to this song.
    When he performed this song, "I Don't Like Shit" had not yet been released.
    This song itself had only been out for like 3-4 days
    He went from his hype material directly into this song, so people were still in that 'turn up' mood and had no idea that this song didn't have that vibe.

We all know you meant gay as in the derogatory form ie faggot. Even still theres no justified reason nor is there anything gay about my comment so you can hold that L too. Lol you replied so all of a sudden you think you're tough? Keyboard warrior alert! I was looking out for you so i wouldnt have to hand package and deliver those previous L's .... So here's a third one for you to hold. L.

    • @disappearingsquirrel
      @disappearingsquirrel 9 лет назад +9

      mr. golfwang actually dude Wool was the first song in the album that he sat down and wrote. And in an interview he did say that the intention of that song was to be funny in a way that OF fans might recognize. However he said that after he finished that song the rest of the album wasn't funny like that first song, the rest of the album was just a true display of how he's been feeling and what he's been dealing with. This album is as far from OF as you can get and if you had listened to all of the songs off of the album you might have figured that out for yourself before saying that one song represented the whole thing.

    Watch his eyes wander, at times, he bursts into anger, in between those times, his eyes wander, disgusted with an audience that doesn’t understand what he’s trying to do…..
    And to the person with the explaination about him going from hype to this…..
