    1. Haha Odd Future videos are always entertaining. Love this track and I too am looking forward to this album. When does it drop??

    2. I never heard of this dude. This is weird but, I really like it. I couldn’t turn it off. Solid 4 for me.

      1. I assume you’ve heard of Frank Ocean? They’re from the same crew: Odd Future (Tyler the creator is the “leader”). Earl is a truly incredible rapper with an insane amount of potential and hes barely scratched the surface. Definitely check out “Earl”, his mixtape.

      1. Maybe so, but he’s done nothing to put him over Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar, or Ab-Soul. Chum was a step in the right direction to expanding his range as an artist. I still don’t really like Earl’s post Samoa voice though, he sounds like someone woke him up at 3am to come rap and he didn’t even wanna be there.

      1. The only other “rappers” are Domo, Hodgy, and Mike G. Frank, Syd, Jet Age, Left Brain all produce or aren’t “rappers”. It’s kind of dumb how people diss OF with this type of shit. It’s like yeah, take away Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt (two of the most talented people in music period), Tyler, their awesome videos and their funny tv show and what do you have? Yet people stay sucking TDE’s dicks because of Kendrick and two nice tapes from Schoolboy and Ab Soul.

      2. First of all, tyler is a weak rapper. He has solid verses here and there. Yonkers was dope, french and bastard are cool i guess, and he spit on trouble on my mind. but otherwise his flow is very meh. Domo and Hodgy are both better rappers.

        @Anonymous – people hate on OF because they are easy to hate without earl and Frank and it makes good sense to exclude Earl and Frank. Frank is barely part of OF, and Earl has been absent for nearly all of OF’s run. He made them popular as the only good rapper in the crew and wasnt even there to be a part of it. Now that hes back he’s barely a member. He is loosely affiliated, but doesn’t preach their immature bullshit. Second of all, Kendrick, Schoolboy, and Ab-Soul are all fucking incredible and you are an ignorant piece of shit. Kendrick has two albums and a mix tapes worth of excellent material (more if you as certain, diehard fans); Schoolboy has two excellent studio albums and two solid mix tapes; Soul also has two excellent albums and two ver good mix tapes; jay rock is clearly good but i dont know him well.

        Point is: you dont know what the fuck youre talking about and should stop putting your fucking foot in your mouth.

      3. Everyone above me is an idiot.
        Tyler & Earl are NOT the only good spitters off the crew.honestly Hodgey Beats could give them a run for their money.

    3. yo, imean, that was fire for real. the video was like some old school rap from the early 90’s with a dark twist. his style and punchlines are like rapid fire. on point.

    4. GIVE ME A CHANCE

    5. Did Earl just get more fucked up while he was away? This video is sorta sweet, coulda used more ballerina if you ask me. I’d hit it twice on a Tuesday.

    6. These cats are interesting. But as far as lyrics and flow are concerned, Earl is one of the best out there right now.

    7. lil earl actually has some talent
      good bars
      teach tyler something that hook is crap too
      makes this song suck

    8. It’s amazing how many people MF Doom has influenced, This video and song is dope. Earl might be the most complex rapper I’ve every heard beside Lupe.

    9. I love it when people on websites critique rappers’ flow and lyrics as if they could actually rap. This shit ain’t easy. Earl is untouchable as far as clever lyrics go. And he’s definitely the best rapper in Odd Future. But Tyler knows how to make a catchy hook, which is what a hook is supposed to do (in my opinion): be catchy and not too verbose. He makes a couple points about making money off of socks and whatnot, while still being brief enough to make it work as a hook. I think this is quite impressive overall as a song. Earl’s gonna grab the rap game by the balls soon enough.
