Earl Sweatshirt is like a new age DOOM. He hasn't really come out with a fantastic album yet, but I think that there are flashes of brilliance in his work, and lyrically he's one of the best out there. I think he's Kendrick Lamar's favorite rapper as well. My favorite track by him is Wind In My Sails:

Earl is dope! If you haven't, for sure check out Between Villains. It's got DOOM, Earl, and Captain Murphy (Flying Lotus' alter ego)

This is one of my favorite tracks. The amount of respect he has for early 20th century black music shows through in the fucking awesome sampling on tracks like this.

He turned me on to Gary Bartz, a fucking wild jazz saxophonist, on his radio show thing with Knxwledge.

I have a soft spot for Earl as well. I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside is such a perfect encapsulation of I don't even know what. That shit mood you get in sometimes? But it's very specific. I guess the best way I can describe it is to say listen to the album.

That album is for when you're borderline depressed and want to be borderline depressed.

Exactly why I was bumping it earlier tonight

Right there with you, except replace Earl with Jeff Mangum.
