The flashbacks to Earl and Navy Blue as kids made me want to cry

Wholesome to see Earl smile

The way Earl and Navy trade off bars it’s like two best friends who can finish each other’s sentences seamlessly

if you come from having depression while listening to Some Rap Songs to getting good through time while listening to FEET OF CLAY to getting better and feeling that everything will keep improving for the better. Yeah this song hits you hard because you feel like you have been growing with Earl and every song that he drops will accompany you through your journey at life

These dudes grew musically physically and mentally love to see it

The transition from them as kids to the present was so cold

This song literally screams “we made it” and straight victory in a very triumphal way

The producer responsible for the most sleepless nights and career changes in others....The Alchemist

Earl and Navy are such a strong duo. Alchemist is just the cherry on top.

So hyped to see Earl with a little hardness In his voice.

Earl and Navy just need to drop an album together, the chemistry is too much

"I want to go to Africa" so subtle yet so powerful

Getting Black Star vibes. A Navy Blue/Earl album would cleanse so many souls

Earl just has that goat presence now

they really the true embodiment of success tho, they never settled for the money or fame. just kept doing them yanno

“We the best till we good and gone” Don’t even play with me like that earl.

Music like this keeps the Villain alive. Thank you, men.

man The Mint, Ghost, now Nobles, Earl x Navy never fails frfr

Life’s sweet when you know the cost

"I do less before I stretch I hit the bar....pull up" god damn earl

Been telling y’all the day earl raps with some emotion it’s over for the entire rap game

The Alchemist is one of the select few who can consistently drop and all of it be fuego! GIVE THIS MAN THE RESPECT HE DESERVES

The real ones know that track was the SHIT and seems like there is a clearing sample issue and the track is not on Spotify anymore. I POUR ONE FOR THE REAL ONES Edit: IT'S BACK. SADNESS GONE

navy blue rap like a ghost and earl raps like a spirit. if that makes sense. i love it

That flash back to them being kids at the same corner store is just golden

Alchemist never disappoints. Never.

From the bottom of my heart, how could a single soul thumbs down this masterpiece

Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him, Would sink into swamp.

Nah this back to back flow though 😫😫😫

Man that edit at 1:12 really made me nostalgic. I grew up on Odd Future and remember watching their old skate videos. Crazy to see these two men evolve into the creative forces they are today

I really ask myself if Sage knows how privileged he is. Being a pro, growing up the way he did with skating, and with all that skating he got out of it well, being healthy, having creative friends like Earls and Alc, etc etc. It's insane. MashaAllah. (Which means May god bless it for him).

I shed a tear watching this shit earl smiling something different mannnnnn

Watching the Alchemist over the last 20 years has been like watching a wizard perfect his craft . The best producer in the game right now

I love it when two rappers both got lyrics and go back to back like this

Something about this song heals me.

I need that ending on a loop, can't explain the emotion I feel but it's wonderful

"Life's sweet when you know the cost."

I turned 30 today (I guess yesterday now) and felt bummed cause I was thinking my youth officially Hit the exit. My late teens to 20’s I grew up listening to OF and always got a sense of happiness from the crews creative growth. I couldn’t be more hopeful and spiritually lifted for the future hearing this right now, this track is special. Thanks Earl, Blue and everybody’s pal, Al.

They crazy. This sounds like a straight classic from a past decade to me

The Never Ending Story sample Says so much about ESS and Navy

I wasn't even a part of the early OF days but damn, when it flashed back to him as a kid, that shit made me nostalgic for shit I shouldn't even be nostalgic over. Stoked for this new project.

Wow, haven’t seen that clip of young Earl and Sage in quite some time

This like the prequel to the Caliphate

Damn he doesn’t even need to drop drums in there - this dude is inspiring, ever evolving and got to be one of the best hip hop producers out there currently. Earl and Navy float back and forth on that incredible loop.

Navy Blue miming Earl's verse(s) is so wholesome!

This album is about to be on repeat for a while I can already tell

ITS BACK ON STREAMING SERVICES!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

we gotta get these samples cleared so i can listen to this again on streaming services, literally song of the year.

Alchemist is working overtime this year and I've loved every track

Oh mama 🥺

everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him would sink

not tryna be corny but this music really touches my soullllll!!

I needed to hear some Earl today man

"I do less when I stretch 'fore I hit the bar" 🔥🔥

The only crime is that this song isn’t longer… this shit is straight 🔥

Yessir!

watched about like 46 or 47 times, this shit is a masterpiece both visual and musical.

Its glad to see earl rapping about not selling his soul. DMX would be proud.

The sample sounds like it's pulled from some moment of resolve in DBZ or something. It just gives me these "It's only gonna get harder from here on out, but we're getting stronger every day, so we'll get through it" kind of vibes, and I'm totally here for it.

[Intro: The Neverending Story Sample] Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him Would sink into the swamp Hi And the same time, elsewhere in fantasia A creature of darkness also began his quest [Verse 1: Navy Blue & Earl Sweatshirt] Depths of the man that I was from the start Stay next to the fam, got a place in my heart chest Breath on demand The rest of the plan got scrapped when I landed, invested in arts I do less when I stretch 'fore I hit the bar Pull up, Tan Cress' on the shoulder of the coat of arms Told you we the best 'til we good and gone Yeah, love shared it was both ours The same prayer like more dark Blood in the water when I go to wash Life sweet when you know the cost Thousand-yard stare, I was looking sauced Smoker's cough, ash in the air Not scared when we send 'em off That's life, black plight, can't get along Not alone [Interlude: Sample 1] But there might be one chant[Interlude: Sample 1] But there might be one chant [Verse 2: Earl Sweatshirt & Navy Blue, The Neverending Story Sample] Tandem remarks, who the fuck playing like the brand isn't strong In the globe cold, that the pharaoh hand sitting on My ass in the throne We running these checks and balances, on fam Check sits, dashes at home (Want to go to Africa) Hard work, callous the palm, that isn't wrong Soul battered and grown, sadness is gone [Outro: The Neverending Story Sample, Sample 2, Sample 3] Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him Would sink into the swamp It's the music of the earth The music of the sun, and the stars The music of yourself, vibrating Yes, you’re music too You’re all instruments Everyone's supposed to be playing their part In this vast arkestry of the cosmos [?] bring tomorrow [?]

thousand yard stare I was lookin sauced 🔥

This song feels like you’re having a coming of age story. Powerful shit mane.

It’s back on Spotify🙏🏾‼️‼️

I cant get enough of this song , every time i listen i discover peace inside me again. Al is the man 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Seeing earl smile give me butterflies while he’s spitting some crazy spoken word

1:11 damn this shot is crazy. nostalgia captured perfectly

How come nobody is talking about that cold Neverending Story sample though.

This whole thing is the epitome of nostalgic.

earl sound and look so happy man. love to see it.

the Sun Ra Sample made this track even more magical

Add this back to streaming services I beg

Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.

The Sun Ra snippet 🔥

Navy Blue has BEEN that dude. He and Earl go way back.

Ending had me in the 77th Realm talking to Rhyolisians 😂🦉

The last 50 seconds, around 1:56 onwards, sounds so heavenly and I can’t describe it 😅

This video deserves a grammy

That never ending story snippet took me way back

Never-ending Story sample at the beginning and half way through

“LIFE SWEET WHEN YOU KNOW THE CAUSE”

These colours cosmic! Earl grey and navy blue over alchemical mixtures.... forget about it - brilliant!

This is the type of music you use to assemble an A team like cast of old friends

The Alchemist delivers yet another classic. Earl, Navy, Maxo, all these cats - you can feel and hear the growth in their music. This shit is so appreciated bro. One love

“Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him.. would sink into the swamp”

EARL'S SMILE IS SO GENUINE.😭🥺❤️ MAKES ME TEAR UP

Earl hasn't sounded so lively in a while

1:56 that beat

Back for my 50th listen

im so happy this music video is beautiful, i love this so much

real life crying to how beautiful this is

Alc dedication to his craft is the last we are gonna see as far as diversity in sounds and rhythms and how deep one digs for them (talking vinyls from around the world from diff periods of time) We are truly blessed to be in this lifetime

TIP FOR THOSE OF THE REUPLOAD ON NOBLES: When you finally hear Nobles on streaming services after being taken down without any reason (probably sample clearances, including the mention of The Beatles sample). It was actually the Sun Ra sample not being cleared, however, the Sun Ra dialogue is removed.

Omgggg they go back to back, and the old clip, and earl smiling.

Young black kings holding it down for the entire diaspora🙏🏾

Seeing Earl go back and forth on verses is just kinda...strange at this point He always was a solo act But seeing that he is doing better, and is, in fact, doing shit and going outside just makes me happy. Plus, it's a great verse Also, I just realized that Navy Blue is Sage Elsesser, which is why Earl and him go way back and they feature with each other so often

Alchemist can make me like any rapper

I've watched this so many times since the drop

Ain't clicked a link so fast ever

The song is back on streaming services

Undegound kings ! Cant wait for the collab project !
