This album was so depressingly good. It honestly helped me feel good for once, even tho it sonically sounds terrifyingly hopeless and sad. The more I listen the more I love it, it’s like me sinking myself deeper into my mental health problems but it’s helping me understand what I feel
Hey Quint, I wanted to provide some context to track 13, Playing Possum. Basically Earl mixed vocals of his mother Cheryl Harris, and his father Keorapetse Kgositsile performing one of his poems. Earl had intended to play the album for his father to help mend their relationship but sadly his father died January of this year without hearing it, and that is why the album was delayed. Anyways I share your sentiments as well, great album but I hope earl is ok!!
11:30 Haha I always do that with The Mint. The way you just started listening to the album over and over again is exactly what happened with me then I became obsessed with it.
Wardell Stephen Curry II Stan Your profile pic. This album is already being seen by many as this generations Madvillainy. Or in this case, Sadvillainy.
Dude calm the fuck down, I love Earl as much as the next guy but with all the amazing projects that came out this year that’s just a stupid ass thing to say
Also, I gotta just add: you're so good at understanding music, describing it in your own words, remaining cognizant of the fact that most projects will take multiple listens to fully appreciate, etc. Like, in my opinion, you 100% accurately described the tone and recurring themes of clashing emotion (most often depression, but also occasional joy and bliss and expressiveness at times). You also emphasized something really central to this project in its experimental nature, rife with some really out-there loops. I really appreciate it, and fuck with it, because it's very similar to the way I listen to and love music. This project was not the most easily digestible, especially not upon first listen, but I've come to really love it for the way it allows us to get such a good idea of Earl's state of mind as of late. And god damnit the production is unbelievable. That, and the emotion in Earl's lyrics, is what keeps me coming back to this project.
Love that you listened multiple times to really get a feel for the album and understand the project and what he's saying as a whole. If you were wondering who the two people were in playing possum it is his mom and dad. A speech his mom gave at the college she is working at, and a live reading of a poem by his father
At first listen I was hesitant to like it, though I did, but I was hella intrigued. After listening to it over and over for the last week I can easily say that this is my AOTY. It's tough to put any album over TA13OO, but if it was going to be any, it was going to be Earl's. This shit is impeccable.
It’s been years, but somehow over time srs accidentally creeped up into one of my favorite albums ever, and I don’t even listen to it that often, but every time I do it’s so damn reminiscent and comforting for no reason….
Totally agree on you with Cold Summers. That is some supremely Madlib shit and his flow is sick. Glad you like the album bro, that's my AOTY right there
@@gordful valid. if I had to name one other record on the same level that would be it. TPAB is every bit as introspective yet it's overall scope is broader, more thematically complex and layered. I think Some Rap Songs is sonically more dynamic and unique though. And Earl is a better lyricist than Kendrick...even though I think Kendrick is the better rapper and ultimately the greater artist... so It's tough. either way tho those are def top 2 for me
It's too damn late. Should've released (or done it) in October. He better have a fuckin reason not reacting to WAVE. I got a feeling that not only he didn't react to WAVE (or listen), he may not even mention it in his Top Albums list at the end of the Year. Watch him put the Black Panther Soundtrack on there because of Kendrick. SMH
Loosie, The Mint, Shattered Dreams, and Azúcar were my personal favorites, but literally every song on here is fucking dope. The really impressive thing here is the fact each song is under 3 minutes, Earl wastes no time to kick your ass with some top notch FIRE production, and real ass down to earth bars
THANK YOU FOR THAT HAUNTING HOUSE RECOMMMEEEEEND! bruh I've been searchign for some scary stuff to watch on netflix, so i watch this. .............NIGGA! Only on episode 3 but thanks again!
Jmsn - Velvet... is an must hear. This is of the up most importantly album that is under a lot of people’s radar this year. Quint you need to listen to this album. We need the review. It’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Love you Channel I would really love to see you give the new token album a listen it's getting a lot of Praise from a lot of the hip hop community and I feel you would be a huge reaction for the project album is dope as hell I think you would really enjoy it
Tbh I was thinking of his Hud Dreems album on some of the SRS beats. I think he was influenced by Stones Throw in general tho, Knxwledge, Madlib, J Dilla...

Quint: “HARD”

"I really do hope you're ok" that right there shows Big Quint understands this album.

So as Myke from Dead End Hip Hop.

Mr. Reich That.
it doesn't rly take a genius to know that this is a depressing album but still, he gets it
This album was so depressingly good. It honestly helped me feel good for once, even tho it sonically sounds terrifyingly hopeless and sad.
The more I listen the more I love it, it’s like me sinking myself deeper into my mental health problems but it’s helping me understand what I feel
Zay Flacko wow this was great.
Wow this is an amazing description
Zay Flacko Listen to Cudi, he’s the God of Therapeutic music
Holly fuck I’ve been tryna explain the feeling till now thank you
I felt the same way when this album came out. A lot of people i know never got into this album so i always listen to it alone and think
When the album is under 30 minutes long but Quint still makes room for break time
DLilly lol he did the same with IDLSIDGO. Break time is undefeated
is that time again when quint goes hard in some deep depressing sounds
Hey Quint, I wanted to provide some context to track 13, Playing Possum. Basically Earl mixed vocals of his mother Cheryl Harris, and his father Keorapetse Kgositsile performing one of his poems.

Anyways I share your sentiments as well, great album but I hope earl is ok!!
Its also why he added the song Peanut and Riot after Playing Possum.
and riot! is a sample of his uncle on the trumpet. also passed away that same year.
that comment made me so fucking sad bro😔
That is heartbreaking
11:30 Haha I always do that with The Mint. The way you just started listening to the album over and over again is exactly what happened with me then I became obsessed with it.
If this album ain’t hit you like this you doin sum wrong
deathoffeb if this album ain’t hit you like this you ain’t been through any tough times and you have nothing to complain about in life
Either that....Or it's not "music" that is easy to enjoy. I put music in quotation as I don't even really deem a lot of this to be music

this album is an instant classic imo
Wardell Stephen Curry II Stan Definitely. But you should know. You influenced it.
Mr. Reich influenced what
Wardell Stephen Curry II Stan Your profile pic. This album is already being seen by many as this generations Madvillainy. Or in this case, Sadvillainy.
Mr. Reich tbh i dont really see that comparison lol
Wardell Stephen Curry II Stan Fair enough. I mean, I do. And I think it’s because of the short songs, really wonky beats, obscure samples.
It's sadvillany!

this video almost as long as the album
except 10 mins shorter
Find Some Time right lmao
I’m so damn happy quint fucked with this off rip. This isn’t a great “first reaction” album for most people, myself included
Jake Keller he’s pure he always catches the vibe off rip
Jake Keller and that’s why i love the come back to his reaction after the shit hits me, but this album hit me immediately i love it
Honesty I enjoyed it first listen
>this isn't a great first reaction album
I get that sentiment but I loved it right off the bat. It takes a little to grown on some people.

I swear I had to give one a couple of more listen to really fw it too it’s really a masterpiece
Jay Hunnid It’s definitely Earl’s artistic masterpiece. And his first three albums are already dank.
this album truly helps me understand how i feel inside, it's helped me grow emotionally. this is definitely in my top 10 favorite albums of all time.

Took multiple listens but this finally clicked today. Good Project.
Glad you liked the album and I had the same reaction to the Haunting of Hill house. I was taken back by that ending
did u just call "madlib" "adlib" 12:24
At least we know what he means
Subscribed after this... amazing album, entertaining review!

'm hyped for this review since already listening to the album/
No memes, just wanted to say this was one of Quint’s best vids in a while. Amazing album and really interesting reactions/analysis, keep it up!
Totally agree on you with Cold Summers. That is some supremely Madlib shit and his flow is sick. Glad you like the album bro, that's my AOTY right there
Riot! Is probably the best song ive ever heard
Ytterbium I’d put some stuff over it but it’s my favorite album closer ever.
lmao stop trying to be different
You should listen to the original song called Riot-Hugh Masekela. One of my favorite jazz songs of all time.
Quint saying “I think I fuck with that.. I think!” Is the perfect way to describe the first listen of this album.
bruh, all these niggas are asking you to react to other shits, but im just glad you doing your thing. Real love here 💘
This albums soulful to me. It has a weird type of upbeat sound but also a cold empty feel and they mix so damn well
most extraordinary hip hop record of the last decade

I think people who really like earl liked this album, and people who are new to his music didn’t mess with it
I’ve heard people who said they didn’t fuck with Earl say they liked this album. I think because of how daring and abstract it is.
