Newest Review I Don't Like ..... I Don't Go Outside- Earl Sweatshirt (2015) Rap

                                    

First off, I hardly ever care about lyrics. I am always music first. Rap is no exception. I usually listen to rap as the vocals are  type of instrument. I rarely pay attention to what they are saying. When I do pay attention to lyrics, hardly ever are they at any level of real genius. I don't see much point in over the top cussing and saying extreme stuff (comedy stuff being the exception) It is almost always for shock value. Some heavy metal and punk is the same. If the music is great, then I'll like it. On this album the music is great and I could care less about the lyrics. No disrespect to what he saying, I'm just  rarely ever honed in on the lyrics. I'm sure this  might offend people who are obsessed with lyrics . Of what I did listen to of the lyrics, it is quite stark and depressing.  From what I've read , he is known for dark and twisted raps, but again none of that really matters to me. He does have a great way of rhyming and using his voice to work with the music.Earl produces every track on the album except Left Brain's "Off Top. If you like Rap and love instrumental hip hop, you should really like this album. Born Thebe Neruda Kgositsile  he is also a member of the Los Angeles-based hip hop collective Odd Future ". I ended up really like this album. Musically, I liked every track on the album.
