The most unconscious “conscious” rapper ever

"I can't explain it... I know what I mean." I feel that

I think part of it is he feels absolutely no need to impress anyone

Shout out to Earl's brain cells. Both of them.

earl sweatshirt looks like a baby in an adult costume

He’s clearly a clever guy. better to be silent or methodical than wrong

“I think everyone…….. I don’t know “ Earl sweatshirt

I think Earl has so much going on in his head that he finds it hard to vocalise. He’s clearly much better at compartmentalising things on paper with a pen, which is why his lyrics are so insightful and intelligent

The dude knows precisely what he is talking about. I had friends like this growing up. They were really really smart but also really really sensitive and the barrier they put up was just to accommodate their own pains. There's a lot of innocence there, actually. He's joking through conversations because it's real pain he doesn't want to dwell on. His parents were intellectuals (his father, being a Poet Laureate for his native country). He's not about to give you answers because he's sensitive enough to know he doesn't know everything either. He's an incredible poet and has bonkers lyrical talent!

I still believe he smoke the whole weed reserve in Samoa and came out sooo relaxed.

Dude goofs a lot and has a sense of humour but people think he’s slow ? He’s far more intuitive and onto it than most people watching this.

“It’s one shirt, I bet y’all thought it was two shirts, y’all look stupid and dumb” - Best Earl Quote

bro is always secretly high

“Everytime I have a white driver, I chuckle to myself” he got his joke the same time everyone else did😂 love earl

One of the greatest lyricists can't even understand his own words

The genuine shock on Earl’s face when his mom said she’s on black twitter

complex minds have a hard time explaining themselves sometimes. He definitely thinks of everything, feels it as emotion, but struggles to figure out where to begin, where to end, or what to say. i could be wrong

You can make a joke like that when talking about such a lyricist.

Earl is just the fucking best

He seems so nervous and comfortable at the same time

EARL knows what he means and so do I. Some Rap Songs speaks to your subconscious in ways that I can't explain. "Peace to every crease on your brain"

"Everytime I have a white driver, I chuckle to myself" That had me in tears!!!! 😂😂😂😂

earl be thinking a lot i can tell

This the same dude that wrote one of the most legendary verses of all time, goat

I think mans blazed 24/7 but when it’s time to spit bars he just goes gigabrain.

he can grow that stubble and hair out as much as he wants he still look like a lil kid lol

The background music fits so well with his persona😂

Brevity is the soul of wit

This guy isn't "slow". He is just a typical habitual weed smoker!

forever cemented as one of the greatest lyrical prodigies hip hop has ever seen

This man lost his dad and his longtime friend just a few months apart. So keep that in mind.

Earl is smart. He’s just calm.

Dudes like Earl Sweatshirt, Billy Woods, Busdriver, Sadistik and Aesop Rock are just too cool to keep their brains upright all of the time. Some days they’re the most brilliant rappers of their generations, but they’re probably kinda tired and fried from working as the former on other days.

man i know a few people that always stretch when their under pressure to seem like they're just calm and relaxed

Ik the feeling of struggling to put your thoughts into words because you're too deep in your head, he's just like me

Earl one of those dudes who finally got to a point where they realize they know so much but also so little that they cool with looking dumb sometimes because nothing really makes sense

His skin is incredibly smooth

People are slow if they think Earls slow

The behavior of a genius, really.

He is definitely thinking so fast that it's actually become slow

dudes so woke, that he's not woke..

Disfluency, slowness, swearing, and speaking softly are secretly all signs of a smart person. That, and/or he's on something concentrated.

Love Earl. Can’t imagine a world without him

growing up around the same age as thebe, and listening to his music evolve, is always gonna be a distinguishable memory I hold. feel like kids in the future will never understand or experience the true aura of earl sweatshirt without seeing how he came up. Just listen to his music as it was released chronologically. That full understanding, and frankly, Thebe knows what's really happening. To traverse the music industry independently, with intelligent parent's wisdom. Hope the best for you G. One of the realist in the game who didn't sell out and understands integrity. The fame that follows from facade is true hell. My mans a wordsmith on jah

All this means is that he understands himself well if you ask me. Seems like the type of person who has an easier time expressing himself in song form where he can gather his thoughts rather than on the spot. I spend way too much time in my head thinking of how to say things to people sometimes and still wind up nervous that I may not be getting my point across at times...

"the american empire is collapsing it is what makes you feel that way? the facts that it is"

I feel like this is 1/3 him being high, 1/3 him being himself , and 1/3 him being funny.

Ngl this would be a fire intro track to an album

he talks like how I talk and I love it

The dude just don't like talking no more

He’s just extremely high lmao

Classic Syd tha kid just asphyxiating every time Earl says a word.

"I can't explain it... I know what I mean.." bro that's the most relatable shit I've heard in a minute🤣

hes back

this gotta be like top 10 youtube vids of all time

i chuckle too, every single day. lifes a gas!

I can relate. I too go to places because it is calm and makes sense. Thanks Earl. 👍

knew he was a pisces before googling. he has the spaced out vibe.

Earl Be Too Fried For The Shit 😭

That second “hard” is the funniest shit ever

Earl is a monk.

people trying to rip on earl are the real slow learners.

Just genuine clips of a genuine man

bro on interviews: 👨🏿 bro on tracks: 😈🔥

The back track is dope asf. 😭

"Gotta Jot it quick cause i cant focus so well". I feel ya

I don't see what his moms is talking about. I think Tyler was the PERFECT influence on her son!

My take is.....it's the energy we're surrounded by.... Like there is a lot of fake people around us...people who just want to be liked by everyone...so when we're surrounded by that type of energy we seem weird or something because it doesn't feel natural to speak your mind...someone help me out if you get what I'm trying to say lol

I was worried after seeing the title that this might make me think about Earl differently but it just made me love him more haha

Other than music I really like Earl cus I see myself a little. He is smart in the head but can’t communicate stuff out in person. Reason why he’s just different when it comes to music, he’ll paint a whole picture like Picasso in a song but it’ll be hard to explain things in-person because there’s a 1,000 ways to say it. You know; it just makes sense in the head.

Earl is funny

earl be like “i will not elaborate”

Shout out to who ever chose the background music. It fits like a glove. "I'll stay" by Parliament Funkadelic.

This old wise man is stuck in a young body

the -2 iq chad

“I don’t like anything” I felt that one, bro.

Earl looks like young earl in disguise

Dudes actually a genius though 100%

earl such a chill guy i wouldn’t mind just chillin w him in silence

Earl Sweatshirt is stoned

Earl Sweatshirt is Earl Sweatshirt, that’s all it needs to say

I THINK WOKE IS DANGEROUS 💀

i mean, he is trying

Glad someone could use the instrumental, def got a boost from this vid blowing up

Man's seem chill asf

“bad acid did damage to my mental”

"Bad acid did damage to my mental."

I wish Earl would’ve been featured on a song like MASSA or any of Tyler’s albums after 2014

These bars don’t even come from his brain he spit straight from the soul 🤣 EARL THE GOAT

Earl is something else

"mad smart, act ignorant, shit, ill pass class when my dad starts givin shits"

Nah Earl is a genius. Very intelligent.👌

This guy is way more intelligent that 99% of us.

"I can't explain it... I know what I mean" Couldn't relate more. Lol

This video is beautiful, shouts out to Earl 💯

That last clip while everyone applauds like they do you can see him go from liking it to hating it. I wonder if that was a turning point

This put a smile on my face after a really tough night thank you

That Uproxx interview my man's was soooooooo high LOL

Bet alot of ppl ain't realized that Earl, is Real mixed up

I love him
