so do only white kids listen to shit like Action Bronson? I have never heard anything by him and wonder if ayone digs it and has some recommendations?

Speaking of Prince, Art Official Age was a solid late career album. His "Next Day" if that makes sense..

he's awesome.

Mr. Wonderful from last year ended up in my Top 10 albums of the year list.

Prince inspired Ween too. :D

Revisiting Doris.. what a nice album. I still prefer I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside but the production on Doris was "sunnier" at parts which is something I'm wishing to hear on his next one.

^ Just a throwaway, but possibly Earl's best song to date. Is it too much to ask for an album that sounds like this the whole way through?

I vastly prefer Doris, but overall I'm not really feeling Earl or Tyler anymore. I'm excited about Genesis, and of course Frank Ocean's the fucking man, but I didn't like I Don't Like Shit. Because, y'know, I don't like shit. ;)

Blue Chips and Mr. Wonderful, bra.

No idea what "kids" of any color listen to, honestly. Except for Taylor Swift (and yeah, only white kids for sure in her case).

Damn bro, I don't even associate Earl with Tyler anymore. Earl is much closer to Vince in my opinion (whom he'd also rather hang out with nowadays). I Don't Like Shit had some of the hardest bars on every album last year, just quotables on quotables.. and I can completely understand why Earl considers it his first real album. Tyler was clearly the creative force behind the EARL tape and most of Doris, hence why they were riddled with edge and other Tyler-esque characteristics. Earl is a cool ass dude though, not only one of the most talented rappers I've heard but also really smart and chill.

90% of the crowds at Fetty Wap concerts are white teens.....

Pretty sure every rapper has at least a decent amount of white teenage fans. Except Boosie, maybe..

Doris is a masterpiece. Everything else from Earl not so much.. then again it wouldn't be a masterpiece if every album was or tried to be

I Don't Like Shit was just a mini album to capture the phase he was getting through depression, it was a special little project which showed progression in some ways.. ain't nothing else like it in hip hop. His next album will be the bomb though.

The progression from Earl to Doris alone was already pretty mindblowing. Earl took 3 years to learn how to produce and then came up with a beat and a song like Sunday.. this kid is mad talented, seriously.

I love Taylor Swift.

My favorite Earl album is EARL.

I love 1999. got me through rough times. something in the water yea the part where he softly bitch slaps the mic haha!!. Dirty Mind is the 10/10. btw I crack myself up!!!

oh there's also that Dump album with great Prince covers. I always get upset when someone's calls Prince a fag.

Yeah she's cool. And we know you love her ;)

Personally I don't think anything prior to 1989 was very interesting or even catchy. But "Bad Blood" gets stuck in my head frequently, and it's not an unpleasant feeling. Same goes for "Out of the Woods," and to a lesser degree "Shake it off." But "Blank Space" puzzles me. I remember hearing that on the radio when 1989 first dropped, but I didn't think it was Taylor Swift. The thought never crossed my mind. In fact I was pretty sure it was that "all about that bass" chick, because it was so goddamn hokey and generic sounding.

I'm not a fan, and I kind of loathe her for being a rich kid to begin with, and an Abercrombie model at that, who had all kinds of industry connections and a family that was willing to move around the country so she could do whatever. Also, when I heard that her brother "Austin" posted a video of himself throwing his Yeezy boots in the garbage after "Famous," I thought ... ughhh... Of COURSE Taylor Swift has a brother named Austin, and of course he can afford to throw away Yeezy boots even though he's 21. Everyone I've ever met named Austin is a fucking asshole. It's one of those names that doesn't age past 25, and only really works in California, for surfing instructors and various other types of human shit.

I also hate that people treat her like she's John Lennon just because she writes (some of) her own lyrics and can strum a guitar. I've heard people argue that she's better than Beyoncé and Rihanna simply because she writes lyrics. That's insane. Her lyrics are not what's appealing about her music. They're ludicrously simplistic. Beyoncé could were that shit if she wanted to. She'd rather have a better song.

But sill, Taylor is an acceptable role model and she tries to be fair and classy. She gets a bit too much credit for it though. Beyoncé tries to be fair and classy and polite too, and she didn't win album of the year. Maybe she should have learned the most basic guitar chords and strummed them a few times.

meh. that's a mouth full of taylor swift and fuck you? really? she's ok. but she's pop. perfect for your popism gullible mind.

I didn't like "I don't like Shit" cause it got old and gave me a headache, I know you think that so punk rock and all and innovating but, it sucks. see, rapping gets old. I like singing cause it's more expressive. some young fucktard like Earl doesn't move me. he can influence some other retarded dumb asshole just like Eminem influenced.

I think you guys are pussy! straight up wimps! yeah I said it and spread it. I ain't fucking around nigga.
