randomly got recommended this but i agree 100% thing is i thought everybody listened to music this way and it hurts my soul that this idea of consuming music and really listening is just lost now and it takes up so much space for artists and musicians that really create with a purpose and CARE about what they’re putting out. i’m glad you had this experience it opens up a whole world for your brain to listen to other genres and music its sick to see.
Facts. I like earl because i relate a lot to his thought process when it comes to music tbh. I'm almost physically incapable of listening to playlists. And I usually obsess over one album or artist for weeks to months on end before moving on to something else. I study the shit i listen to and love religiously. I have a personal bond with the music I love. Hard to do that with playlists (Although obviously not impossible, discovered a lot of great music through video games. Good times..)
I used to consume music this way for a long time until I got really into streaming music that completely changed the way I consume music now, to a point where I can’t listen anymore without having this overwhelming dread and distain for music no matter what I listen to. (Sorry for dumping on you but I think it’s a healthy way of listening to music and artists you love. Might have to go back to this)
one of my friends is like that. One thing that kinda gets at me is when an established artist has been making music for decades so they legitimately have like 10+ albums out
when you think back to how music was commonly listened to before streaming, you realize that artist's intent was to follow the tracklist. skipping a song, shuffling, or jumping to the specific song you want to hear was never apart of the orginal idea. each song contextualizes the next. i was born in 2006 so i grew up with spotify and music videos on youtube, but recently i've started to go to the record store to buy my favorite albums. listening to them through the cd player in my car, or in my room, allows me to apprieciate the music more and gives me a whole different listening experience. the album artwork and inserts are always fun to look at and read, making it more immersive. buying the music with my own money gives it worth and makes me wanna listen to the album more thoughtfully. but on spotify i can be reckless and skip whatever song i want.
Nowadays, I try to listen to albums when I have nothing else really going on. Like on a walk or a hike or some place where you have no choice but to listen to the whole thing, and it's made me appreciate stuff so much more than if I'm doing homework or working at my job or something.
I agree. I will spin individual tracks that are newly added to my collection of liked songs, but in general I don't listen to music on shuffle anymore. I mostly queue whole albums. Almost feels inauthentic to listen unintentionally. Like it's not that deep haha but at the same time I can feel the way it affects my psychology. I can feel it affect my relationship with listening.
I knew I wasn’t bugging that I didn’t like playlists. I would always get overwhelmed to make one because I never knew what song to start with or making one that I can be like “ go check out my dope playlist” lol. Seeing everyone make one always made me feel I had I to make one. But that’s just not how I operate , I love albums , i love getting into the world of an artist you a gain deeper connection towards them and their art. And a deep appreciation of music and artistry , makes you open to different genres, different sounds. An album is supposed to be a soundtrack for your life when you see an album you have listened to it brings memories of a time and place you were in your life!!!
i'm kinda terrible with playlists where I'm at the point where most of mine have hundreds of songs so i end up skipping a bunch of my songs within a playlist based on my mood anyways
earls the goat, i saw the same interview and it was crazy reflecting because I had those same moments with his albums like, learning the whole thing based on whats around my favorite tracks
100 agree with everything. Whenever im listening to a full album i make sure to set aside enough time to listen to the whole thing front to back straight through along with reading the lyrics because i feel like that’s the only way to truly feel and understand the work. There is so much more to unpact than most people realize. Music is meant to be heard not only listened to in the background. Especially rap. like it’s not an aesthetic or something to post on your story with a pic of you to look hard lmfao that’s maybe just me though i need to isolate when i engulf in an album because I’m not trynna have random side conversations. Like you said, you wouldn’t do that at the movies. Music is no different if anything it needs More so attention physically, mentally and spiritually
I’m really glad this came up on my recommended because I’m currently taking a break from consuming music for a month because I just wasn’t enjoying anything I consumed, even if I liked it before. I honestly blame streaming for the way I started to consume music and to my eventual dissatisfaction with it. I think having more intention with everything I consume will improve the way I appreciate a piece of work better with going back to listening to whole albums instead playlists of songs and the endless stream of music and artists that are recommended by an algorithm ( sometimes great recs don’t get me wrong). I love thinking of albums as whole movies that you have to watch beginning to end to appreciate the parts of the film you love that are more contextualised when you watch the whole thing. Quite a beautiful way to look at music. Thank you for this✨
Appreciate your perspective, I also feel the same way that music should be appreciated more in album form the way it was intended, but I don’t blame people taking away certain songs and moments from the album that they really like, I mean I do it. And I agree heavy on what you said at the end, people who be playing albums from shuffle are crazy, like you wanna disregard all the effort the musician put into sequencing an album and creating an atmosphere, that’s like one of the worst ways to play an album.
I think we should all listens to albums. There for sure a point in what he is saying, but what I also love about music is that you can re-contextulize songs into playlists. Its sort of like creating your own dj-set. However albums with a curated album deserves to be listened to chronologicly. I think most sane people does that, but I wish more did. I have certain albums i mostly listen to whole rather than in playlists. But on a day to day basis its easier to listen to playlist. Its linke binging the office or any other sitcom. Everything is familiar and it has its moments, but you dont need to pay attention all the time.
I agree, digesting music in the format of an album will always be the best. I really felt like that when I started making music and it’s just a feeling of wanting to convey a a specific set of emotions and certain themes, I feel like that is missing a little bit in the industry today, that microwave meal analogy was kinda spot on, Everything is easily digestible and simplified nowadays which I think takes away from an artists ability to connect with their audience on a deeper level and articulate themselves.
For sure, as I'm slowly finding myself in my art (imo) I'm learning that being able to articulate myself to myself through music is key - and then hopefully that translate to an audience (if i ever do have one)
Dude... 1000%%% !!! Happy this got recommended to me I know the Earl clip you are talking about - and it's made me do more album listening lately as I had gotten lazy over the past year or so Ironically though, before Earl said that quote, he changed the way I listen to music with his albums When I listened to I don't like shit and Doris at first when I was in high school, I was confused, and didn't like most songs, but I was intrigued by his artistry, and I liked a song or two on each. I kept going back and listening to the album front to back and every time I listened I loved it more and more. And a song would click and I would be like how tf did I not like this earlier?? Crazy how music works that way. Art! The other artist I had that same experience with is Isaiah Rashad. Cilvia Demo, Suns Tirade, Doris, IDLS are all special albums to me because as Earl said in that quote, I "endeavored to understand their complete idea" each of those still has one or two songs I don't like that I'll still skip sometimes, but I used to think "lliking an album" was listening to it and grabbing 4 that I fw and putting em on a playlist. Anyways, great video.
heavy emphasis on the last sentence. An album i've been playing very frequently is Kendrick's Section 80 and i use to just listen to hiiipower off that project. It's crazy i kind of started listening to Early way later and i think SRS may be my favorite of his
You'd love denzel curry taboo it's a great actual listen the mans deep as hell and the song t41300 is actually about himself and once you reallise that damn
@@Otto2Wavydenzel curry is actually great, I would also recommend his Live at Electric Lady EP, he does several of his songs live with a live band and it’s amazing
I agree. Zel doesn't have a bad album but brodie seem like the Melt My eyes kinda guy because Denzel is a bit softer on that and dives in on his relationship with God and overall social commentary.
I feel you, but I also this that there is truth to the idea that each song tells its own story too, and maybe you just like that story. I’m not religious but if you like a certain verse in the Bible, you’re not gonna read the whole Bible. So I guess it really just depends on how patient you are you know?
I'm religious so that's an interesting point i'm not gonna read the whole bible if i just want to reread a particular section/story. So 100% depends on the person
Why can't people just enjoy things 🤣 I'll listen to Earl Sweatshirt then go too lil pump D rose, having expectations ruin things or tryna find hidden details that arent there also ruin music Especially when you don't make musix, idk, living vicariously through music you don't make is weird as fuck too me, like, just because you like something thats creative doesn't make you any more cretor have depth, you're just simply listening too it. Fans have weird audacity nowadays, listen to what you like, it doesn't need layers or a sense of deepness for something to be enjoyed...if you enjoy something, enjoy it
i'm pretty sure it's this clip ruclips.net/video/vzbkikTfNA4/видео.html but i also remember an interview thats from when he recently released Doris so idk if its the mandela effect or not
it dropped when i was in high school and no one i knew really listened to that project it was crazy. I grew up Christian so that project really stuck with em
lmaoo. but that actually is a dope concept too tbh. Star wars started with the end of the skywalker saga and then the prequels came after. Unconventional but still interesting

Word is bond
peace god
Thank you for your perspective. I totally agree. Music can be extremely powerful only if you take the time to really appreciate it
*bless me *thank me *i'm welcome
Shoutout to coloring book man I remember my sister loving it and my family listening to it in the car
I love my family
one of the first projects that i truly loved front to back
earl creates complete projects so well
When I first heard Some Rap Songs it changed my whole perspective on existence itself
It’s cool to hear perspective on how we can evolve with music if we live with it long enough. Great stuff man, bless.
100 agree with everything.

Facts. So well said. Really going to approach things this way now...
That song you skip right after your favorite song on the album always becomes ELITE 😂💯🔥
lamoo nah fr
Yeah same I gotta listen to more all the way through more
Appreciate your perspective, I also feel the same way that music should be appreciated more in album form the way it was intended, but I don’t blame people taking away certain songs and moments from the album that they really like, I mean I do it.

playing an album on shuffle is insane to me lmao but the way streaming has taken over I don't blame people for doing it
i’m sorry this has nothing to do with music, i just think you are incredibly pretty:) i hope u have a nice day

Its linke binging the office or any other sitcom. Everything is familiar and it has its moments, but you dont need to pay attention all the time.
nah for sure creating a dope playlist that flows well is a skill in itself imo
i feel you
Wild that most people really don’t listen to a whole album. How do you know if you actually like it if you don’t
I agree, digesting music in the format of an album will always be the best. I really felt like that when I started making music and it’s just a feeling of wanting to convey a a specific set of emotions and certain themes, I feel like that is missing a little bit in the industry today, that microwave meal analogy was kinda spot on,

Its funny cus i have this etiquette where i don't skip a song on an album
One day imma sample this
lmk when you do ima tap in
Dude... 1000%%% !!! Happy this got recommended to me

Earl the goat
nah i'm the goat then earl comes after me
i just found your channel i love it
this made my day family
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -OY3AH! 10/10
salute !!!
Me too bro
You'd love denzel curry taboo it's a great actual listen the mans deep as hell and the song t41300 is actually about himself and once you reallise that damn
i've never really dived into denzel's discography like that but ima check them out
@@Otto2Wavydenzel curry is actually great, I would also recommend his Live at Electric Lady EP, he does several of his songs live with a live band and it’s amazing
I agree. Zel doesn't have a bad album but brodie seem like the Melt My eyes kinda guy because Denzel is a bit softer on that and dives in on his relationship with God and overall social commentary.
best youtube video video ive seen in a while!!!!
all love fam!!
I feel you, but I also this that there is truth to the idea that each song tells its own story too, and maybe you just like that story.

I agree but nowadays artist don't make albums with a theme they make songs to be hits rather than hit albums
unfortunately yes the good and bad that came with streaming
God is good
all the time fam
good video
i sub
you are truly the real mvp brother
Why can't people just enjoy things 🤣 I'll listen to Earl Sweatshirt then go too lil pump D rose, having expectations ruin things or tryna find hidden details that arent there also ruin music
Especially when you don't make musix, idk, living vicariously through music you don't make is weird as fuck too me, like, just because you like something thats creative doesn't make you any more cretor have depth, you're just simply listening too it.
Fans have weird audacity nowadays, listen to what you like, it doesn't need layers or a sense of deepness for something to be enjoyed...if you enjoy something, enjoy it
Where can you find that earl clip at?
i'm pretty sure it's this clip ruclips.net/video/vzbkikTfNA4/видео.html
but i also remember an interview thats from when he recently released Doris so idk if its the mandela effect or not
my friends do not fw coloring book and they are losers for that!!!!
it dropped when i was in high school and no one i knew really listened to that project it was crazy. I grew up Christian so that project really stuck with em
Sway listens backwards. throws me off cause he ruined the 2pac interview on TPAB for himself that way.
lmaoo. but that actually is a dope concept too tbh. Star wars started with the end of the skywalker saga and then the prequels came after. Unconventional but still interesting
You scaring the hos bro.
LMAO damn bro🤣
Earl changed the type of shirt you wear too
bless you
thank you!
