I feel a little guilty about saying this, but that new Earl Sweatshirt track & accompanying video kinda rub me the wrong way. I'm a little tired of hearing that kid complain... To hear him tell it, he's lived a million lifetimes, all of them so repressed and shitty that his angst is indefinitely justified.
But fuck- his voice is only just starting to settle. He's had one cushy young adulthood. He's the very picture of privilege, and I don't think he lived long enough before becoming a celebrity for any of the realities of a non celebrated life to set in. I kinda just want him to stop being a bitch and admit that he has very little to bitch about.
Just some acknowledgment that he's got it "good," at least in relation to most of the world. He's starting to sound like a little shit.
