By the looks of Hodgy's twitter it's fake. Throwing me off though 'cause unless someone hacked other accounts, I don't see why Tyler The Creator's account has a link to Earl's twitter (which has info about new stuff).
2659640, Nevermind
Posted by lakai336, Wed Feb-08-12 11:06 PM
I'm thinking considering the new song was really posted after 50k..it might be for real this time. It looks like there certainly regenerating the hype machine, being intentionally mysterious and such.

Demanding 50K followers to release a shitty song?

WTF is wrong with these niggas?

This is how you reintroduce Earl?

It's that random spit that I would expect from Earl, hope this is just the tip of the iceberg for his comeback recording career.


2659707, Its a very anticlimactic return

Like, THAT is how you return?

LOL

Its basically a freestyle that any rapper with
decent wordplay could spit

And the twitter follower thing is extremely
corny
2659709, Are you really that mad that Joey likes the song?
Posted by boyoucrazy, Thu Feb-09-12 08:10 AM
2659732, Oh, nah, its just not a very good song
Posted by Orbit_Established, Thu Feb-09-12 09:31 AM

Don't be upset with me

I'm just stating facts

LOL @ this 'return'

Begging for twitter followers and
releasing a shitty freestyle?

LOL

OF aint shit without Earl. Now he's back, they might gather steam again.
2659739, Oh, I agree with you. But this return is Lulz

Yeah, earl is really their only hope to be musically
relevant again, because right now they are a clothing
and entertainment collective, which is fine

But their music has been awful in the past year

Earl is their hope to come back musically

This "song" is a bad look, though

And the begging for twitter followers? LOL

That is as Anti-OF a strategy as there is

We liked them because they gave nary a fuck
about anything but being themselves

There are mentions of this return not being OF-related.

It looks like Leila Steinberg (Tupac's former mentor/manager) and Ray Luv (old-school bay area rapper/Pac and Mac Dre affiliate/etc.) are somehow involved with Earl's "comeback" through a non-profit organization named AIM (Alternative Intervention Models) which visited him in Samoa.
2659876, Honestly this is exactly the kind of return
Posted by Kosa12, Thu Feb-09-12 03:05 PM
that I would expect from a rapper like earl, but you probably came in here ready to hate to be honest.....(No I'm not mad, before you post some shit like that)
2659916, LOL. You're a damn lie

You expect him to return begging for followers to release
a shitty, underwhelming song?

Well maybe I think he's smarter than that

I at LEAST expected a *decent* song

This song is literally worse than anything on the
EARL album

These niggas know they have the popularity to do some shit like that AND know that mad people have been going around like "FREE EARL" and shit, So why not? That said, this song was probably worse than anything on the earl album, but I still thought it was ok.
2659751, I wonder how many fucks are being given right now.

I like the lo-fi sound and the fact that it sounds like something Otis Jack Jr. would produce.
