Enjoy!

Earl - Doris.mp4

His flow is influenced by DOOM's rhyming techniques. You can check the highlighted rhymes video for Whoa to see what I am talking about - https://youtu.be/NF9aLPwJhZs

Goes without saying MF DOOM was a huge influence on Earl and Tyler’s rapping style coming up. So was Eminem and Odd Future was compared to Wu Tang because it was like a bunch of young guys just rapping to impress each other, shock and make each other laugh. Whilst also saying a bunch of wild shit. Doris was still in that style but things start to change by the next album.

Also this album is a very transitional time in Earls life. He was 18/19, come out of school famous for the shit he did at 16 and shoved into the limelight which he never really adjusted well to. Whilst Tyler was for sure the creative figurehead, Earl was considered the better rapper. As odd future blew up, his mum sent him away and Tyler and his crew did a whole “free earl” campaign where fans would scream obscenities about Earls mum. And as Earl came back and matured he’s kind of grown to resent how that moment went. There isn’t a lot of public knowledge as to why OF split but safe to say for Earl that was part of why he grew apart. Might be worth doing a little deep dive on what was happening odd future if you’re interested.

Honestly Doris is very overrated, it's highly recommended because there is a huge chunk of OF fans that didn't like Earl's artistic direction and are nostalgic for the Tyler / OF sound, Doris is still pretty childish compared to his later work, I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside is just the best parts about Doris amplified without the childish parts and Some Rap Songs is just a different sound and style all together, He also has the Solace EP which you should check out right after I Don't Like Shit since their similar and combined they just amount to around 40 minutes of music.

For me, it’s the production that makes this album sing. I’ve never been big on earl himself.

I have to disagree, if you don't like Doris that's fine, and I can see a few comparisons between Doris and IDLSIDGO, but the albums are pretty different both sonically and with what mood they set out to create, and yes Earl was more childish on this album (I mean, what 18-19 year old isn't childish to an extent) but I don't think his age takes away from the quality of Doris in the slightest, and even aids the album at times. I love all eras of Earl, but to say Doris is 'overrated' is crazy, especially when most (current) Earl fans wouldn't even rank it as his best album post-SRS, If you made this exact point but were talking about his debut mixtape Earl I'd actually agree, but I just don't see where you're coming from with this Doris criticism with all due respect. All this being said, I think we can both agree that it will be fun to see Bob go through the journey of Earl's career and how his sound and subject matter has evolved over time.

I think I big part of liking Earl, especially his early work, is the art of rhyming. Even if he’s not rapping about something specific or telling a story, his flow and rhyme patterns are so crazy

A couple things: 1. Earl as well as Odd Future were known atheist, that got their kicks using Satanic imagery and lyrics to piss off Old black people. He would Never make a song about searching for God.That explains the cover too. Sunday is about his GF that he had at the time. 2. He’s not bipolar. “Too black for the white kids and too white for the blacks” is talking about how he couldn’t hang around with black kids because they considered him “white washed” because he liked other music like Jazz, Rock and “Mysterious” Hip Hop. Plus he skated.He was too black for white kids rather they didn’t get him because a lot of what he talked about, what he watched, and listened too like trap, Neo Soul, etc. was very blackcentric. Tyler, the Creator also stated High School was the same for him. They didn’t belong to anything hence the name Odd Future, because the future was going to belong to the weirdo misfit black kids. Thank you and plz listen to “Chum(Left Brain Remix)”

Okay last comment I swear lol. Check out the Punk Rock MBA. He made a video titled “How Tyler, the Creator + Odd Future Saved The Rock Scene”.

That "Woah" voice is actually a sample from Toy Story 1. It's those 3 little green aliens saying Woah 😂

Earl sweatshirt, definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but I totally get that. Once you react to more earl you’ll notice how drastically different Tyler’s newer music sounds compared to earl’s newer stuff. Almost as if they went in opposite directions musically.. Thanks for this reaction. One of my favs from you!
