Earl Sweatshirt’s ‘Some Rap Songs’ Album Toys With Convention. Earl Sweatshirt has never seemed comfortable in the limelight. He's had the pressure of living up to fans' incredibly high standards throughout his career. Earl's 2010 breakthrough mixtape, Earl , largely blew up while he was off the grid at a boarding school in Samoa. By the time he returned, he'd achieved cult status. Fans of his Odd Future crew were rabid to hear new music from an artist who left the U.S. as a talented 16- year-old MC with incredible technical ability, but just a minor following. Earl's 2013 studio debut Doris saw the young lyricist switching up his subject matter from violent shock-value raps to introspective tracks about the pressures that come with his newfound fame and the depression he's experienced throughout his life. The raw follow-up, 2015's I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Out Side , further explores Earl's depression over a lo-fi, experimental production style. Both albums were critically acclaimed, leading many fans to declare Earl one of the best rappers of his generation. Expectations and pressure for what he would do next continued to mount. Earl essentially disappeared for three years after I Don't Like Shit , with barely a verse released since 2015. Some Rap Songs is Earl's first new material in years, and his return to the public eye. It might be his best, most uncomfortable record yet. A title like Some Rap Songs suggests simplicity, but the album is anything but. Earl doubles down on the experimental nature of I Don't Like Shit, once again wallowing in darkness while the production becomes more avant-garde, consisting of disorienting loops of jazz and soul samples that catch the listener off guard while Earl bears his soul. Earl is still a master craftsman when it comes to constructing verses, but this time his dense raps are structured more off-kilter than ever. He regularly raps lines off-beat to emphasize his words. Every verse has a spontaneous, almost improvisational feel to it. Meanwhile, the subject matter on Some Rap Songs once again tackles Earl's personal demons. "I think I spent most of my life depressed/Only thing on my mind was death/Didn't know if my time was next/Tryna refine this shit, I redefined myself," he confesses on "Nowhere2go." On "Ontheway!," he raps, "My mood really swinging, I peruse like a native would do/What I'm thinking I should do for the sake of myself," before calling out the fans who've been constantly bothering him for new tracks ("I need you now, closed lips make the mouth breathers frown"). Earl originally recorded Some Rap Songs to send to his estranged father, South African poet Keorapetse Kgositsile. It was meant to be a gesture for the two to reconcile a bit, but Kgositsile passed away in January before Earl could send him the album. Their relationship has always been a part of Earl's raps, as he was dealt with pressure to live up to his father's accomplishments. Some Rap Songs features that more evidently than ever. On "Red Water," Earl repeats the same eight bars, four times throughout the song, including the lines, "Blood in the water, I was walkin' in my sleep/Blood on my father, I forgot another dream." The track "Playing Possum" doesn't feature any rapping from Earl. Instead, he intersperses vocal samples from his father reciting the poem "Anguish Longer Than Sorrow" and his mother Cheryl Harris giving a keynote speech at UCLA's law school. The track ends with applause after the two voices are done speaking. It's an incredibly powerful moment as Earl takes a moment to let his parents speak for themselves. While most of the album was recorded before Earl's father passed, the final two tracks were added afterwards. "Peanut" sees him dealing with the depression in the immediate aftermath: "Flushin' through the pain, depression, this is not a phase/Picking out his grave, couldn't help but feel out of place." Then Earl shouts out his Uncle Hugh, South African jazz musician Hugh Masekela, who died just a few weeks after Kgositsile. The final track "Riot!" is an instrumental that samples Masekela. It's a joyous respite—a moment of hope after a dark journey. Some Rap Songs packs a lot in 25 minutes, making for an unsettling listen that is also one of the most personal, gripping rap records of the year.

Download link in MP3 ZIP/RAR formats Earl Sweatshirt is ready to make his return with the release of Some Rap Songs on Friday, which will mark his first full-length project since 2015. After delivering a pair of singles in "Nowhere2go" and the Navy Blue-assisted "The Mint" earlier this month, the 24-year-old shared the track list for his anticipated SRS on Monday (Nov. 26). According to the press release for Some Rap Songs, prior to Kgositsile’s death in January 2018, Earl and his father were “roughly a month out from from a reunion that would facilitate a long-anticipated conversation.” Year: 2018 Artist: Earl Sweatshirt Album: Some Rap Songs Genre: HipHop, Rap.

"Me and my dad had a relationship that’s not uncommon for people to have with their fathers, which is a non-perfect one. Talking to him is symbolic and non-symbolic, but it’s literally closure for my childhood," Earl said in a press release. "Not getting to have that moment left me to figure out a lot with my damn self." Some Rap Songs. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. Buy the album Starting at $12.99. Thebe Neruda Kgositsile (aka Earl Sweatshirt) makes his return with his first full album since 2015. This record from the Odd Future (hip-hop collective) man is filled with complex lyrics on complex topics, and of the fifteen tracks, only two exceed two minutes in duration. Some Rap Songs is full of soul searching and comes after a difficult few years for the rapper from L.A.. Since he released I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside in March of 2015, both his father (South African poet Keorapetse Kgositsile) and his uncle (South African jazz icon Hugh Masekela) have passed away. On top of this, he has been battling some mental health problems which have kept him out of the game for the best part of the last two years. One of the defining aspects of the album is the way in which it has been produced (mainly by Kgositsile himself). The samples and loops are purposely unbalanced and chaotic, and the lo-fi effect is present throughout the record giving it an old vinyl sort of sound. These chaotic samples could be giving us an insight into Kgositsile’s overactive mind and his hectic flow of ideas. As well as focusing part of the album on tributes to his mother, father and uncle (Azucar, Playing Possum, Peanut), the rapper also brings attention to his mental health during his time off with the singles Nowhere2go and The Mint (featuring rapper Navy Blue), stating ”two years I been missing living life” on the latter. The disjointed production gives this album a unique quality and despite the powerful lyrics not always being on the beat, it sounds great! Earl Sweatshirt has, in a sense, paved the way for a newer, jazzier type of alt-rap which many younger rappers have started to embrace. © Euan Decourt/Qobuz. Earl Sweatshirt Some Rap Songs. Earl has dropped a few tracks here and there throughout the last year, but it's not until now he's releasing a proper album. While teased on his Instagram and our Has it Leaked Twitter account, Columbia payed for a big billboard to announce the new album. Simply titled Some Rap Songs, because it's Earl Sweatshirt and spending too much on the album titles have never been his thing.

While “artists” like Soulja Boy and Chief Keef have reason to worry, lyrically dexterous rappers are experiencing a renaissance. Spearheading this movement of talent-first rappers is Earl Sweatshirt of the Odd Future crew, underground rap’s greatest talent and secret weapon. Earl (Thebe Kgositsile) just released his debut studio album Doris, his first substantial work since his return to the spotlight. At the tender age of 16, the L.A. native released his eponymous mix-tape that turned quite a few heads – first due to his immense talent and young age, then due to his lyrics rife with stomach-churning violence. Upon its release, Earl had virtually vanished – his mother sent him to an at-risk youth camp in Samoa, which left crowds shouting “Free Earl” at concerts, fueling the towering hype and mystery that his mix-tape had garnered. Since his return a year ago, he’s had a few excellent guest spots – a verse on Frank Ocean’s Grammy-winning Channel Orange, a verse on the posse track “Oldie,” and a verse on Captain Murphy’s (a.k.a.

    AFROPESSIMISM VS. RHYME AS BLACKNESS PRAXIS Cahron Cross EDITORS’ NOTE: Cross’s original rap, linked here, is followed by a discussion of key themes and analysis of Earl Sweatshirt’s poetics. Afropessimism is, as Frank B. Wilderson writes, “less of a theory and more of a metatheory” that argues “Blacks are not Human subjects, but are instead structurally inert props.” It is a theory about theory that identifies anti-Black violence at the core of all Western theoretical frameworks, and furthermore, identifies the central pillar of what we know as civil society, constituting an ontological or “social death” of Blackness. For Wilderson, this death cannot be cured by liberative strategies built within a world of apriori anti-Blackness, and this includes Black artistic performance which obscures Black reality. But, as Kevin Eubanks explains, “Hip Hop exposes these structures [of violence], eectively mapping the edge of a claustrophobic boundary that separates black social life from white civil society.” Eubanks responds to Wilderson by reframing hip hop as a sort of counter-performance or Blackness in practice, and “in voicing the limits of its own performance, Hip Hop’s awareness generates a threatening and viable counter-position over and against those relations of domination in which it knows it is caught up.” Through this turn toward self knowledge and direct reflection, Eubanks argues, Blackness resurrects itself from social death and reconfigures afro-pessimism into optimism through “radical armation of a blackened world.” To reclaim their Blackness and agency in an anti-Black world, rappers employ various poetic techniques, simultaneously displaying and reimagining the limits of structure.

  • Tyler, the Creator and a Perfect Circle Ready for Northside
    2017-10-31 09:59 CET Tyler, The Creator and A Perfect Circle ready for NorthSide Sleaford Mods and Aurora will join them as the sale of one-day tickets starts Next year's festivals season was already kicked off in September with the announcement of five strong acts for NorthSide 2018, and now four more international acts are added that will ensure the line-up includes rock, hip hop, electronica, and punk. Tyler, The Creator Tyler Gregory Okonma was only 16 when he together with five friends formed the hip-hop collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. The innovative group later became the home of Frank Ocean and Earl Sweatshirt, who both contributed to the group's only official release from 2012. At this point Tyler, The Creator’s solo career was already in full swing, because of the success of the single "Sandwitches" and the anarchist debut album "Goblins". Earlier this year Pitchfork called his latest album “Flower Boy” his “most accomplished album” yet and praised the rapper for revealing a more sincere and mature side. Tyler, The Creator is at an artistic peak right now and with his amazing ability to deliver extremely energetic shows, we expect we will witness something unique when hits the stage at NorthSide. Tyler, The Creator will play Saturday June 9th at NorthSide 2018 A Perfect Circle The American guitarist Billy Howerdel played a bunch of his songs for Maynard James Keenan in the mid 90's, which left the Tool-singer so excited that he formed the band A Perfect Circle with Howerdel.

  • Some Rap Songs Full Album Download
    some rap songs full album download What Is Rap Music? Rap music, also known as Hip-Hop music is a rhythmic music genre derived from the Hip-Hop culture (rapping, beatboxing, DJing, break dancing and graffiti writing). Rapping is performed by Emcees/MC’s/Rappers who use their vocals in a melodic rhyme form which is often described as being very similar to poetry. Rappers can go acapella (rapping without a beat/instrumental) or perform on a track in a freestyle or written form. As a whole, rap music has grown to be immensely popular, especially to those who live in poor areas or/and people who are going through personal struggles. This is because many rap artists come from poor areas themselves and have also gone through the same strugglers experienced by the listener, so naturally they can relate to their music. Styles Of Rap Music. Rap music is one of the most popular music genres in the world and since its birth in the 1970’s in Bronx, New York, it has broken off into various subgenres and has even fused with other music genres. Its heavily influenced by Funk, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Soul and Disco music. Entire books can be written (and has been written) about rapping and the history of hip-hop. I won’t get into that as they can be better explained by other authors. My main focus in this article is on the different styles of modern rap music. Generally, rap beats are between 75-110 BPM (beats per minute), although there is no rule and it can range widely depending on one’s personal preference.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.
