No need to discuss the best verse of the last 10 years
- Snappy - 08-20-2013
oh fuck, Doris is out. I totally forgot haha

yea Doris sucked... didnt like it AT ALL... I cant believe he went from "earl" to that bullshit.
It was good when other OF members were on the track with him, I liked 20 Wave Caps w/ Domo Genesis

Best verse of the last 10 years? really??? Maybe most controversial (in recent memory) but BEST??? c'mon son.
budden had the best response tho, he bodied shit.

Well you see, for an album to come out you need these few things
1. Album Title
2. Tracklist
3. Release Date
4. Promotion.
Currently eminem has none of those and as a major artist he wouldn't just be like "hey guys dropping album today"

Yeezus kinda did that... No promotion until a day before album drop.
But, we still had every other piece before it dropped. We knew the release date a month before, we knew the tracklist a few days before, and he was performing songs a few weeks before it dropped. It hardly just "dropped out of the sky" like Kesler seems to think album's do.
- Spangle - 08-20-2013
Earl Sweatshirt - Doris
Pre (ft. SK La’Flare): 4.25/5
-This one has an epic feel to it, the beat is awesome and I like the feature here, even though I've never heard of this dude before. Good stuff.
Burgundy (ft. Vince Staples): 3.25/5
-Meh meh meh. His verses are ok, but this one just felt like a snoozer.
20 Wave Caps (ft. Domo Genesis): 2.75/5
Sunday (ft. Frank Ocean): 2.5/5
-He gets a Frank Ocean feature and has him rap instead of singing (his rapping is also quite poor)? Duuuddddeeeee.... This album is really boring.
Hive (ft. Vince Staples & Casey Veggies): 4/5
-Earl got renegaded (not to say he hasn't been renegaded before on this album) hard by Vince Staples. Dude went HAM. The hook is eh though.
Chum: 3.25/5
Sasquatch (ft. Tyler, the Creator): 4/5
-Sounds more like classic OF shit.
Centurion (ft. Vince Staples): 3.5/5
-Earl's sounding less "I just woke up and spit" here.
Uncle Al: 3.5/5
Guild (ft. Mac Miller): 1.5/5
-Dis mumbling. Skipped this one after a bit.
Molasses (ft. RZA): 3/5
-RZA should've had a verse.
Whoa (ft. Tyler, the Creator): 3/5
-Hook kills this one. It's alright though.
Hoarse: 2.75/5
-The instrumental for the intro is just orgasmic. Rest of the song swings and misses. Back with those lazy bars.
Knight (ft. Domo Genesis): 3.25/5
44.5/60 -> 3.17/5
Overall, this is definitely one of the most boring albums I've listened to in a while. Earl dropped the ball hard. Throughout, he sounded like he was bored or just woke up when he recorded the songs and he regularly got outperformed on songs by features. The production, however, is pretty good.

Some Albums/Tapes I have listened to recently
Doris - Earl Sweatshirt: 2.21/5
- Don't get his appeal at all. His lyrical ability isn't that great and none of these songs feel right. Like fuck learn to ride a beat properly. Beats by the way are top notch.
Run the Jewels By Killer Mike and El-P - 4.5/5
- Strong candidate for album of the year.
Cavalcade by Milo - 4.21/5
- Milo is an artist every rap fan needs to check out.
Summer Knights by Joey Bada$$ - 3/5
- Decent tape, but 1999 is infinitely better.
Things that Happen at Day/Things that Happen at Night by Milo - 4.4/5
- Fantastic ep.

I dont get all the hate on Doris. 20 Wave Caps and Sunday are great, Earl went with a different style and I like it

What isn't to get?
Boring flow
Average Rhymes
pretty self explanatory

I dont think so, I like the slower flow, Rhymes are rhymes, whatever makes sense.

I don't get it either Snappy everyone has different taste I get. I love it. Slow flow but that's how Earl has always been and it's served him well it's got an 85 on metacritic so it's clearly better than the reviews here would suggest
- Dion - 08-20-2013
Nothing was the Same is gonna be Album of the year anyways.

If metacritic was the be all end all.
and no Dion, just no, and I love Drake
Also rhyme are not rhymes. A verse from Lil Wayne isn't the same as a verse from Kendrick.

Quote:Originally posted by JayTee@Aug 20 2013, 10:23 PMNo it's not but you've used it in the past as a reference so I shall to. Doris is a solid album. People who don't like it seem to be the ones who don't like OF anyways
