idk y these other dudes r hatin rn but I appreciate your associations. they make sense to me honest. this antonio fantano's style kinda reminds me of another music review channel. it's kind of abstract but I think if you get past the fact that the channel's reviews are from a sentient melon it's pretty good
I honestly don’t see how you could’ve written this and thought, “Hell yeah, that’s good. Lemme post this.” This meme is probably the most dry and stupid on the Internet right now.
Mac and Earl have been molding me into the person I am today since middle school. I pray that Earl is taking care of himself. RIP Mac!!! Miss u young vet
He’s rated fine amongst underground stuff. Hes hardly ever going to achieve mainstream success or industry wide recognition because of how abstract and unapproachable is music is. And its not a bad thing either.
He's one of the best OAT, but let's not say "most underrated", there are several extremely lyrical underground rappers (BILLY WOODS!!!) who are virtually unknown, much less "underrated"
I can’t believe Anthony Fantano didn’t mention the Solace EP. That’s my favourite Earl project. Shit is so personal and sincere that it’s violent in its honesty and ability to draw a tear, or at least you gazing at the wall in your kitchen.
Barack Obama Yes, that is quite interesting and unique. However, I seemed to have developed something of a mentally debilitating condition such as/similar to Alzheimer’s or Dementia, because I simply cannot remember asking. Strange indeed.
I love this, I always think that Volksgeist has the best visuals in the music video essay game and of course Anthony’s fantastic voice being uttered by the best teeth in the game
Thought I'd reminisce while my mans is still alive, I thoroughly remember those months when earl was away at Samoa and feeling deprived like OF wasn't nearly enough, and missing a major cog. I know we're just human.. I'm not trying to idolize my brother, but take a second and appreciate the fact that we can still coexist with a meticulous artist like Earl. We often wait until its too late, but he deserves to KNOW the genuine support he has out here. You're Appreciated fam!
@dragon I know this comment is a few years old. However, if most of our generation were only to embrace humanism more so than misanthropy than most of us wouldn't be broken mentally and emotionally by now. Just a honest perspective. #GetYourOwnPlace
was in the same program, coral reef academy. He def went through alot, they abuse like crazy, google the program so many horror stories. Me personally got assaulted on numerous occasions by ex criminals working for the program
Some Rap Songs is the embodiment of depression in music, to me. This is actually a very positive thing, it's a very healing listening. Dense, hazy, sleepwalking, the gritty production compliments his monotonous, dreamy voice so well.
It's just so wild to know that Earl started as an outlandish persona, but has become more and more intimate and personal in his subject matter over the years, while the trend for personas in hip-hop grew inversely. I never made that connection before this video.
Stuff I know: Earl's mother's (Harris) side of the family is full of successful individuals in their respected fields. Earl spends a good deal of time with his uncles, cousins, and other family. His grandmother was a one of the first Black medical professionals in Wisconsin.
bounced here from a needle drop vid and the realisation that it was your boy Anthony Factano doing a guest spot was beast. Love it. Earl Sweatshirt; forever.
Doris has some of the best features of all time before any of the artists TRULY blew up… Earl is apart of the internet rappers like Gambino and Mac Miller, insane to see everyone grow up and out
I already know this whole story because i grew up with this music and was a kid when this was going down but I'm going to watch this anyway because the Melon Man is narrarating it
I'm glad you added, misunderstood. Almost everyone is depressed now a days and i just want everyone to grow up, get over your feelings, they're just chemicals. But misunderstood covers another range of people, not the depressed pretty or trend following people that can't control anything in their life because they won't grow up.

"Some Rap Songs has been praised as one of Earl's best releases yet, by reviewers like Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop"
-Anthony Fantano

@@skrtgoat9369 I think he just made it up as a joke this wasnt said in the video
I didn't even realize I was listening to Anthony Fantano lol
Thomas Takeshita same lol. I was waiting for Fantano the whole video. I replayed it and realized it was him the whole time. I felt so dumb lol
+Mr. Nadroj dude same 😂😂😂
What a versatile melon.
exactly same thoughts here. I was confused by the end and after rewinding I realized it was him the entire video
Dude same
Melon and Volksgeist? Wow, I would give this a TPAB/10

I'm glad you're giving this anthony fantano guy some clout. He kind of reminds me of theneedledrop and thatistheplan

ItzRainy smfh i hate arguing with children on the internet but.. gotta teach em 🙄 anthony fantano is the guy who mascots chuck e. cheese dumbass..

Anthony fantano kinda sounds like Anthony fantano wtf???
Sergio Gincu no he kinda sounds like theneedledrop
Earls Mom: I‘m a professor
Earls Dad: I‘m a Poet
Earl: Still don‘t care
*huh? still dont care*
Still dont care
*fuckin smacking while eating*
Still don‘t care
what did you say ? nah I just wanna what you said , I Dont Care
This man’s still don’t care
Fantano is killing these features. He's the Lil Wayne of RUclipsr collabs
Kaileidoscope Dedicamelon
Weethony Zytano
Kaileidoscope LOL
No that’s the odd1sout lol
more like the cole of collabs
best part of odd future is when they were saying "free earl" but this dude was in school lol
yeah lmao
Mans wasn’t in school lol
He was at a group home in a different country
There was an acceptance speech or something where Tyler was talking like Earl had passed on lmao
@@jacklyons1597 which was disciplined and made them go to school... lol
and received widespre- and received widespread critical acclaim
I was reading this while he made that messup.im dead XD
Lmaoooo
I thought I imagined that shit I was worried
It’s like his older videos lol
@Robert Gonzalez I love you too a lil
Earl is the earl of hip-hop.
i... agree! *ding*
Well said
Jo Jo couldn’t have said it better brother
666 likes
dude, best way to put it
This is great and all, but why did Fantano have to call for the death of all puerto ricans? pretty weird for a video on earl sweatshirt ngl
this meme sucks
I honestly don’t see how you could’ve written this and thought, “Hell yeah, that’s good. Lemme post this.” This meme is probably the most dry and stupid on the Internet right now.
wasn't expecting to see you here jschlatt
Your videos are great dude
xox oxo it really does
1:49 melon.exe stopped working
lol
lmaooo that’s a good one
never know if it was on purpose, melon always does the same thing in his vids
Tom Hands I actually had that thought as well but it doesn’t fit in with Volksgeist’s format
Alec Dalton I was looking for this comment !
Marvel: "Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history"
Volksgeist: hold my melon juice
Keaton O Reddit silver
Best comment
this is hilarious
Idk wtf you just said but it sound like some dope shit nigga
Hold my thicc vegan smoothie
It’s so weird to hear Anthony’s voice without seeing his huge melon head to the right of the screen
Facts 😂
but did it receive widespread critical acclaim?
lmao
Twice, actually.
This killed me
@@ty_hens woosh
is this an r/whoosh moment lol
Mac and Earl have been molding me into the person I am today since middle school. I pray that Earl is taking care of himself. RIP Mac!!! Miss u young vet
Real ass comment my dude.
Mac earl and Wu Tang, specifically 36 Chambers
Idk i dont get the Mac Miller hype
Kick in the Door no hype around mac either you really like him or you don’t
Bird Burgie yesss
Earl is quite possibly one of the most underrated lyricists of all time.
He’s rated fine amongst underground stuff. Hes hardly ever going to achieve mainstream success or industry wide recognition because of how abstract and unapproachable is music is. And its not a bad thing either.
Not true
"sleepy" music. earl is boring
My dick hates sweaters so she jacket slow is still crazy to me
He's one of the best OAT, but let's not say "most underrated", there are several extremely lyrical underground rappers (BILLY WOODS!!!) who are virtually unknown, much less "underrated"
I can’t believe Anthony Fantano didn’t mention the Solace EP. That’s my favourite Earl project. Shit is so personal and sincere that it’s violent in its honesty and ability to draw a tear, or at least you gazing at the wall in your kitchen.
Whoooo!! Hype!! In the beginning i almost thought it was you Phil. You guys have somewhat similar voices.
I thought the same thing lol!
Same
It’s those music reviewing pipes
Earl is underrated in my opinion, he keeps himself to himself but I like that about him. True legend
Big forehead sweater man
indeed
big lips in fact
He's 24 in the id but 48 in the my see
big lip forehead nostril sweater man
Lips*
Wow, not even 30 seconds in and Melon is already calling for the deportation of all low-income first generation immigrants. Good video though
Not funny
Didn't laugh
@@barackobama6105 Stop it CJ
Barack Obama Yes, that is quite interesting and unique. However, I seemed to have developed something of a mentally debilitating condition such as/similar to Alzheimer’s or Dementia, because I simply cannot remember asking. Strange indeed.
This was a collaboration that I didn't even know I needed! You should do this more often Fantano, nice work guys
IDLSIDGO wasn’t fully produced by Earl, Earl did all of it except “Off Top” which was produced by Left Brain
nc ur mom gives top LOL 😎
Was about to say this
“DNA” was produced by left brain
Shemar Pevey no it wasn’t maybe coproduced but earl did work on that
I love this, I always think that Volksgeist has the best visuals in the music video essay game and of course Anthony’s fantastic voice being uttered by the best teeth in the game
"It was mostly produced by Tyler, and received widespread, and received widespread critical acclaim."
It’s sad that I’m just now realizing that the “don’t care” meme was Earl Sweatshirt
:|||||
dont care
Earl was the only rapper who'a lyrics i ever found relateable
Holy shit this is objectively perfect
@The Elliot Equation I noticed that too. Too late to take it down
The Elliot Equation perhaps skipping like Fantano does in his videos? Lol idk
You don't know what objectively means.
minus anthony not using a proper mic lol
Medium D Speaks using Gods name in vain is a sin
Should have covered Solace
100% this
Shiyldve covered his time in between coming back from samoa and the release of doris
IMO Solace is his best project by a long shot. Definitely confused as to why it wasn't covered
Solace should be a video of its own
I wonder how much of the script Fantano was reading he genuinely agreed with.
Killswitch Visuals i feel like he rolled his eyes at some points made
"the entire album was self produced", he said while playing the one song from the album not produced by him
Thought I'd reminisce while my mans is still alive, I thoroughly remember those months when earl was away at Samoa and feeling deprived like OF wasn't nearly enough, and missing a major cog.

How was FREE EARL not even mentioned???
it was it was around 2:44 should’ve put more like in oldies and stuff 💀
Some Rap Songs is the embodiment of depression in music, to me. This is actually a very positive thing, it's a very healing listening. Dense, hazy, sleepwalking, the gritty production compliments his monotonous, dreamy voice so well.

"Earl might be the quiet relatable musician that we need." Damn, yo. That was pretty profound. I am biased, though. I am an Earl fan.
I dont think someone can listen to only one track from Some Rap Songs.All the tracks in the album come together so fluid.Honestly,a masterpiece.
Anthony finally realize that Earl is the GOAT with SRS
Manos Mavropalias fr you can see the build up from the track reviews too
I've never heard Cam'ron be referred to as an underground legend until today...
He is though
he kinda is
The colab that nobody wanted but everybody needed... congrats on it as well, and great content dude👍.
the comment nobody wanted but everybody needed...I sweater I did not scroll through these to find this.
@@toastiemarshmallow1771 don't sweater smh
I’m indeependatnt smh head
Some rap songs is one the greatest albums I have ever heard. It shows the growth of his career and how his life has changed.
When I heard *imprecise words* I already knew this video and background music would be amazing.
I got sent to wildeness and boarding. Earl speaks to me more than anyone else in the world.
I'm feeling a light 9 on this colab
LOVE THIS WITH FANTANO his voice and delivery is perfect for a platform like this
There's a number of weird audio cuts/repeats in this vid
MistaSkilla692 i had to scroll too far down the comments for this, editing for this video is sloppy
Agree, whoever edited this forgot to review it. A little more polish on this video would have been nice
It might be an inside joke from fantano's channel. He does weird shit im his vids
@@nikanredjamand5323 with Fantano you can tell its intentional, but here it just seems like a bad cut
Yeah like when they cut after he takes a breath
The Cal Chuchesta trademark at 1:48 put a smile on my face, put a smile
I will definitely check his stuff out now thanks Volksgeist
ThatOneNotThisOne How do you like it now?
Earl is my favourite rapper no 🧢 can’t wait to see him again this year haven’t seen him since 2013 so hyped
legit did not even realize melon was the narrator until like 80% through the video
The way you construct your videos keeps me coming back. One of my favorites fursure.
Do Danny Brown next.
Yes.
Who?
How do you get past that aboriginal voice
shabibmahab his music is insanely great and his voice sells it.
That'd be great
Doris is my favorite Earl record, but he literally doesn’t miss🔥💯
About time yall give Earl his credits. Dude is a legend
Stuff I know: Earl's mother's (Harris) side of the family is full of successful individuals in their respected fields. Earl spends a good deal of time with his uncles, cousins, and other family. His grandmother was a one of the first Black medical professionals in Wisconsin.
bald opinion man bad
is this the title for the next fader hit piece?
brooklyn what it is what it do
James no it’s the title of the latest thatistheplan video
Which one?
bounced here from a needle drop vid and the realisation that it was your boy Anthony Factano doing a guest spot was beast. Love it. Earl Sweatshirt; forever.
audio doubling error at 1:50
Randomly found this because it’s about earl. Now I’m subbed to you, you have a great format for breaking down and appreciating music. Great video.
Earl is so ahead of his time. Truly a old soul.
Doris has some of the best features of all time before any of the artists TRULY blew up… Earl is apart of the internet rappers like Gambino and Mac Miller, insane to see everyone grow up and out
I just realized that It’s all Anthony Fantano’s voice
the moment i realize that lol i was like oh that’s what the title means
What's happening to him now is actualization. Its brilliant to watch, like a Phoenix rising. He was never the square peg for odd futures round hole.
Anthony came through w the vocals 🔥🔥
It’s weird hearing melons voice out of his usual format and voice delivery.
The most ambitious collaboration in history
earl is a genius with a troubled mind.....greatest right now of all the new era rappers...mind fkin lyricist
The Best Teeth in the Game!!
Ever seen Anderson paak?
ugh yesssss earl will always be a legend
this video is great, always that bell on.
Every video on this channel is well scripted, beautifully edited and quaintly narrated. Incredible job!
I love melon head, can't believe you got him to collab for this 😎👌
Didn't expect to hear Anthony in a video like this, but it fits the style incredibly well, awesome video.
This video is a beautiful piece of art.
Best track of the week, especially the Fantano feature.
This isn’t the DiCaprio 2 review melon!
Lmao
No
FANTANO X VOLKSGEIST
this is the collab the ppl needed
Anthony fantano needs to do video essays
Main sample on the beat being played during 1:00 is Overjoyed by Stevie Wonder. Cant keep the music nerd in me contained
What's the beat that comes on after min, edit: it’s acid eyes
im glad u rockin with earl hard now and this video will wake people tf up
I already know this whole story because i grew up with this music and was a kid when this was going down but I'm going to watch this anyway because the Melon Man is narrarating it
StonedZebra 666 well done
earl definitly changed my life for sure, espicially after hearing Doris. dudes a legend fr fr
I need more of this, “Before They Were Famous” without the robotic host.
Met him the other day at the movie theatre. Cool dude, been a fan since day 1.
thumbnail change
this is the channel collab I needed
Earl is the the physical embodiment of teen angst here to be depressed and misunderstood
I'm glad you added, misunderstood. Almost everyone is depressed now a days and i just want everyone to grow up, get over your feelings, they're just chemicals. But misunderstood covers another range of people, not the depressed pretty or trend following people that can't control anything in their life because they won't grow up.
What an amazing collaboration. keep up the good work ❤️
SRS ALBUM OF THE YEAR CONTENDER
"but it feels like he's been around FOREVER"
He said it! HE SAID THE THING!
Anthony is Volksgeist confirmed ?????????
Its nice that someone like earl is still out there pretty pure guy pretty pure music
His mom sounds like the parent that makes a kid rebellious 🤷🏽♂️
Definitely had an effect on his intelligence though
That Anthony Fantano guy should start a review channel. Great analysis!
I’m sorry if you don’t fw earl I can’t fw you
The Church of Lucio Apologize...we outta time, please get your alibis straight.
What if you meet the love of your life, 10/10 face, body and personality and they understand you, love you, etc. but they don’t listen to Earl?
omar aftab sorry dog I gotta follow the golden rule
The Church of Lucio I respect that
Earl might be my favorite rapper ever. I can relate to him so much
And received widespread and received wide spread
