I met earl in 2013 and he looked at me and said “you look like a man who likes a good bowl of Cocoa Puffs”. I will never forget that, ever. Even if he had. Because I happen to love Cocoa Puffs and Earl somehow knew this...

Earl Sweatshirt's father was one of the most important South African poets of the 20th century. His name was Keorapetse Kgositsile. He was the Poet Laureate of South Africa, and a member of the African National Congress. He wrote and organized in exile in the United States for about 27 years. The 60's poetry group The Last Poets took their name from one of his poems. Thus, Thebe descends from a rich, rich heritage of Griots - African village storytellers and truth tellers. The bars he speaks of are boiling through his bloodline. I bring Keorapetse's name into this space because he is part of Thebe's story, no matter how difficult that story may be.

Him talking about academia intellectualizing real issues hit home for me. Before all the protests sparked a bunch of social media activists’ careers, I attended this event surrounded by “woke” black intellectuals and thought leaders. I was in a group discussion with someone I once respected. After I expressed a somewhat radical yet complete thought, he asked me where I went to school. I told him “Nowhere at the moment,” and the way his face changed, it was as if he was repulsed by my existence. It clicked then just how fake this stuff is. My thoughts no longer have value because I’m not repping some institution? This is why I represent me and don’t name drop anything or anyone at events. Are you sincere, conscious, and empathetic or not? Are you serious about making things better or parroting other people’s ideas? It’s all that matters to me now.

But I think there’s something to learn there. A lot of young people today see something on social media and regurgitate it and become “woke” or “activists.” We don’t look up to professionals and leaders that have done the work and actually know what they are talking about whether we agree with them or not. So yes! Represent yourself and your opinions, but in rooms where problem solving is involved we need leaders and professionals to guide us. They know more whether we like it or not. We young people are building ourselves up right now. One day we’ll take the torch after them, but we have to educate ourselves first. Right now, so many people are speaking in the room, I can’t hear the professionals.
@genesismartinez66643 жыл бұрын
@@destinyx1636 No dude. A lot of our Black PhDs, professionals, leaders go to school or do a lot of research because they want to help the people, but no one is listening. We love to question them and discredit their work. They have done the work. They know what they are talking about. Let’s leave room for them to speak as we take several seats. Most young people today are “woke” because we regurgitate what we see on social media. That’s dangerous. We should admit we don’t know what we are talking about most of the time and allow professionals to pour their advice down to us younger kids.

+ when you think about the environment Thebe was raised in it makes sense. He grew up with two genius knowledgeable and poetic leaders for parents, you would understand the impact of these topics on a personal degree. Which to me seems like why he is motivated to uncover within himself. One of my favourite things about Thebe as an artist is his passion for clarity and understanding. Really appreciating the insight of the generation before him and taking the role of paving the way for his own off the beaten path. But that sense of responsibility has gotta take a toll. His art is like reading a book, like a book that just gets better every time you read it and you learn something different. Thank you for your time and work Thebe.

acovarrubias12 Thebe’s just special to a certain audience that is invested in him as a person and artist. I grew up with him, he’s slightly older then me but we have similar tendencies and I really enjoyed his intricate vocabulary and unique perspective. Especially since I don’t have an older brother my father figure does his own thing so I learned a lit from artist I look up too. He has strong family morals I admire and his rhyme patterns are insane. It’s completely non traditional and appealing for people who vibe with distorted beats and mental puzzles. If I were new to his work I would go back to when he was sly tendencies and really listen. You’ll get it.

Coming back 3 years later after learning a lot about colonialism through community and history books (one of which was Earl's recommendation for Noname's book club, 'Open Veins of Latin America' by Eduardo Galeano) and I just gotta say this opened up so much for me in my understanding of the subtext of what they talked about. Like one thing that stuck out to me is how Earl called hip-hop "slave music" and how not a lot of people know that the abolition of slavery in the US only included chattel-slavery and that the 13th Amendment written during that time stated how slavery has remained legal as long as a person is incarcerated. Slavery was never abolished in the US, especially for Black people. If you read the book 'The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness' written by civil rights lawyer Michelle Alexander, she lines out specific court cases, statistics and decades if not centuries of history and it explains how today even in 2023, about 1 in 3 Black people have legally been slaves just by being incarcerated. It goes deeper than just that legality, of course. The myriad ways of subjugation/oppression that is daily inflicted on Black people is arguably an ongoing genocide, which is probably what Earl refers to when he talks about how if slavery had gone right, Black people would not exist. If not for countless uprisings and revolutions across the world by Black people, the trajectory of US chattel-slavery would probably have ended in the eradication of Black people through breeding and genocide like they did to the Indigenous peoples of North America when US settlers like Abraham Lincoln expressed that the Indigenous people were beyond assimilating and needed to be killed.

Earl, we met back in 2014 and at that time i'm sure you weren't in the best place and we had a pretty bitter encounter. They say "Don't meet your heroes" Honestly you were and still are my hero in the music game. Fast forward we are both much older and more mature to understand the weight of the world and be kept and professional. I, like many other young individuals on the internet i'm sure feel they know you personally seeing you on social medias and watching videos and you've become such an inspiration and such a humble man. My heart goes out to you and your family and I hope to hear more projects in the future.

Even though I don't know him personally I'm glad I've gotten to see snippets of his life and progression as a person through his artwork/interviews. I genuinely feel like his the reason people see his interviews as awkward is mostly because he just doesn't care. Not in the sense that he doesn't take them seriously, I just don't see him as beong the type to write up some index cards or practice what he's gonna say in the mirror. The man said it himself, "he was nervous," he still went out there and spoke his two cents. During the first portion of the vid. He talks about not feeling the need to to appeal to certain audiences, he speaks on being yourself vs explaining why you are who you are to everyone on the outside looking in. His mother expanded on a lot of what he said throughout the video and I think that Cheryl, having had the intellectual background that she's built for herself compliments a lot of things that Earl already said concerning his attitude on speaking/discussions. He's like the walking embodiment of, "it is what it is". It's like his mother was breaking down what he said into those "morsels," he mentioned lol. Helluva an artist, interested to see where he takes it from here. He's not hungry for fame because he's already had it. It's not about the destination, it's about the journey and with him only being in his mid 20's there's a long way to go.
