the novelty of OF is over though. At least to me. It ended sometime around when "Oldie" dropped.
Earl is above and beyond those dudes as far as lyricism goes. That's fact. He's the youngest right? you wouldn't know. His phrasing and delivery is too deep. He's the son of a poet, and that shows.
And not just writing. I mean. He's smart. He's understanding of HE as an artist. He gets it.
Tyler is close, but too many misses on his albums. Too many wild pitches.
Earl just gets it. He's patient. You can tell. His rhymes are just soooooooooo thought out. It's insane.
But think back. When you were his age. When I was his age... I was a fucking idiot. Could not say what I wanted to say so eloquently.
...
But yeah, Kendrick is the high bar for that generation in my eyes.
Earl is a contender for sure.
