"Old Friend" (prod. by The Alchemist) Album 'SICK!' out now: earlsweatshirt.lnk.to/sick / soapmanwun / earlsweatshirtmusic / earlxsweat earlsweatshirt.com #EarlSweatshirt #SICK
Earl raps like when Neo from the matrix was fighting at lighting speeds with a bored face. Going hard but with a relaxed demeanor....he know what he doing
Earl light years ahead with the poetic intellect. He raps like an old man reincarnated; an OG living a second life, but in a young man’s body. He just talks to you like all that shit you think matters is bullshit. And he keeps it short and brief, like elaborating more on it is an energy drain for an old soul. Loving the production too.
when I started listening to rap I didn't speak any english and I've kinda made it my mission to use rap to learn english. twelve years later and I understand pretty much anything, but earl and doom are still cryptic as fuck to me
Lyrics: Strong spirit where the body couldn't get asylum The cost of living high, don't cross the picket line and get the virus Wild cat has got 'em in a bind, stay inside Know I came from out the thicket smilin' Mad hatters cappin' every line, it doesn't matter to the ten of five They start hackin' when they can't shrink us I found the middle in a bit of balance Fever in the cabin I knew where we was headed I ain't countin' no blessings, I sure as shit could measurе Blinkin' for some feasible mеthods to free yourself Split it with my hand like Cigarills Slick oil in a fish gill I fill a void with the pen, feel the fear, shrill Couple stains that I couldn't shield My brother, Brain, that we couldn't shield Couple came, couple went still And what remain of the wolves meal I held the page, gave the book ears Whispered "Thanks", hella pain, heavy rain in the CAT scales Played the shade, quite a deal, glad we stayed friends
✝️ *LORD JESUS DIED & ROSE AGAIN TO PAY THE DEBT OF UR SIN!* ✅By Faith in the sacrifice God has made are we saved from the penalty of sin! 🔵Turn from your sin that leads to death & accept His Gift that leads to eternal Life! 💜We are all sinners that need God. No one can say they are perfect to be able to pay their debt of sin. This is why only God could pay the penalty for us, that is merciful Love!
Don't you know the Lord Jesus is still dying and pain for our sins such a wicked land such a wicked world the things you have to do just to maintain so sad
I always know the Lord is on my side and always watching over me so I keep the faith and Jesus dies plenty of times he always comes back and gets to fight again and again and again and again and again I know for a fact can't talk that peace in a wicked land you'll get crucified facts

I remember when this dropped I was deep in addiction and had been living without emotions for awhile. I cried when I heard this track. “They start hacking when they can’t shrink us”. House burnt, all my friends n family left me alone and all I had was drugs to keep me goin. I refused to come outside because I didn’t want to see signs of evil intentions in the new area I was in while almost homeless. It was bad. Thank you Earl for your message homie. Love is Universal. To anyone that’s goin through it right now please remember to love yourselves.
Yeah tbh I think Earl truly understands what it is to feel real pain and the angst of life; he is a prime avatar of the human experience. And that is why he creates superb work
The last 3 albums have been over my head so much I end up coming back to them months later to finally realize EARL the goat again, so I gotta keep this on repeat till I can understand
Jus glad he's regularly dropping songs again. I hated the blackout era where we had to listen to songs recorded from basement shows on a stolen Nokia phone.

Just listened to this all the way through. So great from beginning to end. Feels very complete. Can’t wait to listen to it a couple more times through to see how I really feel and how it measures up to other projects. But one play through I’m really impressed.
After really dissecting the lyrics this song is far deeper than the first listen. Its hard to come by true music that makes you feel something and get goosebumps like this album easily achieves.
I need a solid year to fully break down and appreciate an Earl release every time. There’s so many different things to grab onto. You can vibe, you can listen for bars, you can do a lot with this man’s music in terms of how you want to appreciate it. First handful of listens are always just to vibe it out, once I can see where he’s going with the song I like to give the bars a listen. Earl is simplistic, but he’s far from boring
Couple came, couple wins still And what remain of the wolves' meal I held the page, gave the book ears Whispered, "Thanks" hella pain, heavy brain in the Catskills Played the shade, quite a deal, glad we stayed friends.. It hits harder the more I listen to that part … man earl sweatshirt is Godlike with the words it’s almost like magic.

@@HCoreSoldierKili exactly bruh and mavi
@@diexiety1 mavi be using words i’ve never heard 😂🔥
This is it, man.
You a dork. He raps like a bored MC who can release literally anything and his fans will blindly eat it up and call it Album of the Year.
Lyrics:
Strong spirit where the body couldn't get asylum
The cost of living high, don't cross the picket line and get the virus
Wild cat has got 'em in a bind, stay inside
Know I came from out the thicket smilin'
Mad hatters cappin' every line, it doesn't matter to the ten of five
They start hackin' when they can't shrink us
I found the middle in a bit of balance
Fever in the cabin
I knew where we was headed
I ain't countin' no blessings, I sure as shit could measurе
Blinkin' for some feasible mеthods to free yourself
Split it with my hand like Cigarills
Slick oil in a fish gill
I fill a void with the pen, feel the fear, shrill
Couple stains that I couldn't shield
My brother, Brain, that we couldn't shield
Couple came, couple went still
And what remain of the wolves meal
I held the page, gave the book ears
Whispered "Thanks", hella pain, heavy rain in the CAT scales
Played the shade, quite a deal, glad we stayed friends
That old earl flow with even better production, couldn’t have asked for better thank you Earl ❤️
PLAY EAST
This is not and old earl flow tho.
This is the flow he’s been using since SRS
This is not the old earl flow bro but this is fye
Y’all jus b sayin shit
Alchemist once again proving he’s the most untouchable producer on earth. Incredible track.
I fixed Earl Sweatshirts new song Old friend and made it a banger!!! czcams.com/video/PbZ9pyg58vg/video.html
chill man its just a sample lol
@@DjIceCnS it seems simple to someone who doesn't make music
id still say Madlib is LEAGUES ahead
undoubtedly.
Earl sounds nonchalant while saying shit no one else will ever say, hes a philosopher everyone should listen once.
this is lyrically insane, couldnt expect nothing better, thank you Earl..

Same 💯
this is gonna be classic mark my words
marked
noted.
It already is
Aint hard to tell

When the world needed him most, he vanished...4 years passed and the new Earl emerged the old Earl with a new spin...I believe Earl can save the world
cringe
@@Sqkz. 😂😂 hey be nice bruh
never really vanished. just say you didnt like the last stuff... yo comment corny AF too.

@@si4947 i knew it wasn't only me thinking this was the most pretentious shit I've ever seen
Earl came through with a great birthday gift
happy birthday bro
@@Luc9Nine thanks fam
Bro it's my girl's birthday too 😭😭 but happy bday dawg
happy birthday
hap b day :)
The transition from this song into 2010 is beautiful
I fixed Earl Sweatshirts new song Old friend and made it a banger!!! czcams.com/video/PbZ9pyg58vg/video.html
2010 isint sampled in this
The “ old friend” he’s referring to is likely Lil Pump, it’s always great to pay homage to the greats that came before u Earl
Bro😭😂I’m weak , like what bro
I thought you were serious for a second 😂
LMAOOO
I ain't gonna lie u had me for a literal second then I burst out laughing🤣

I have nothing to say... I just wanna listen to this album forever.
I remember when this dropped I was deep in addiction and had been living without emotions for awhile.
I cried when I heard this track. “They start hacking when they can’t shrink us”.
House burnt, all my friends n family left me alone and all I had was drugs to keep me goin.

To anyone that’s goin through it right now please remember to love yourselves.
Praying you get out of that situation
Only thing bad about this song is how short it is! Amazing.
yeah
A guest feature from boldy james would be great.
Man I love the whole vibe/aesthetic of this album it feels so vintage I can already tell this album gonna age like wine
>age like whine
bruh
Fine wine 🍷
production goes crazy and earl always delivers bars for when my soul hurts
Listen to the song julia

the album’s out and i still don’t know what it sounds like
The last 3 albums have been over my head so much I end up coming back to them months later to finally realize EARL the goat again, so I gotta keep this on repeat till I can understand
Jus glad he's regularly dropping songs again. I hated the blackout era where we had to listen to songs recorded from basement shows on a stolen Nokia phone.
At this point it’s more than rap, thank you earl
This beat is immaculate
I just listened to it for the first time on cd an hour ago…
I smiled the whole way through
This beat is beautiful 🔥 🔥 🔥
dadadadadada
so cinematic, like introducing the protagonist at the start of a movie.

Love this guy right here, great guy great music

He’s like a young Roc Marciano, on his own tier fr
What a soothing start. To see this before 1k views feels so strange
indeed
Fr. I’m seeing at 2.8k and it’s weird.
Folks don’t fuck with him anymore like they should I personally think he improved and found his flow
Bruh dropping gems… like wtf… it’s been a drought and this shit just hit!
drought? haha, not a chance.
@@stevegaul5966 tell us some good music!!
His vocabulary is unorthodox...Thank you For This Man
I ate a weed brownie and came home and see all these Earl drops and the production is like an orgasm to my ear. 🥰
Earl's best songs are always the shortest 😭
Only one from Oddfuture that survived
FACT.
Just listened to this all the way through. So great from beginning to end. Feels very complete. Can’t wait to listen to it a couple more times through to see how I really feel and how it measures up to other projects. But one play through I’m really impressed.
Sounds great from end to beginning too
bro it's only 80 seconds long
@@TheGoldMedals the whole project. Not one song...
Hey! Do you recognize the sound effect used at 1:10 ? It sounds so familiar, I don’t know where I’ve heard it before.. lmk

@@Itsjustc Well said!
"i don't cross the picket line" i see u earl
im stoked for this album
this forsure about wolf gang. when i heard tylers song he dropped the other day this song came to mind first. i wonder if its a response in a way
you know its alchemist when you hear that stylophone x-1 riser
Earl Sweatshirt is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.
I just finished listening to the whole album, the lyrics with the base complement each other so well, I love this album
This instrumental floods my thoughts. It's so dark and hypnotic. And that bass line
I can't get enough of it
The flow and the beat just perfect.
Earl's flow and production choices I'm not surprised🔥🔥🔥
This is the best Intro i’ve ever heard. That lyrics so flawless combined with that beat
Thank you Earl you make music for every mood I’m in
This one if the dopest intros i heard in a minute
This is the Earl I know so much love for u brother... I say may God be with u thru journey 🙌
I'm so glad to see earl evolve tbh this man is so impeccably talented.
This song is amazing
Listening to this album once again, this song is definitely the best in the album IMO

Wow, just wow. Earl really backing up the outro of Sick on this one. Master piece.
Couple came, couple wins still
And what remain of the wolves' meal
I held the page, gave the book ears
Whispered, "Thanks" hella pain, heavy brain in the Catskills
Played the shade, quite a deal, glad we stayed friends..
It hits harder the more I listen to that part … man earl sweatshirt is Godlike with the words it’s almost like magic.

It's always a good day when Earl drops a banger.
*a banger album
youd think a guy who's being giving it all for so long from so young would be burned out but here he is again, dropping bars
