3012351, "the mint" is a top 5 earl song and one of the best songs of 2018 Posted by bearfield, Thu Dec-06-18 09:31 PM
there many lines i relate to in "the mint," particularly navy blue's opening lines:
Hold me down, hold me up Hold me close 'cause my times is up Show they true colors, don't know who to trust Mind workin' like the water when it rush Growin' from my father, bitter to his touch Now I'm solely honor, livin' is a must
then earl comes in and crushes it with these mind-boggling long form patterns that wrap around on each other. he's witty, emotionally raw, and flexing on all you trash rappers only rhyming on the 4. the instrumental is phenomenal as well. it's not easy to make a 6/8 beat with a modern feel but black noi$e did it. and it's not easy to rap over a beat like that but navy and earl nailed it
