Dude is grounded and articulate for his age. I appreciate that.
Never said “Free Earl” because I never knew what he did. And im also not a sheep.
Wow. First time I’ve heard anyone from this group talk like they have any sense.
Class Act. This kid’s gonna take over!!!
I totally respect this dude for honoring his mom like that. Doesn’t seem to have the same rebellious atheistic f life mindset his buddies have. GREAT!
Seems like he won’t be in that group too long, and that’s a good thing.
I await the demise of that group quickly. I don’t care about their talent. They are poison.
this is getting good.
that earl is one smart mother fucker.
Maaaannn…….FUCK EARLS MOM!!!!!!!!
He is just worried because people took the time to track down his moms address and phone number already.
This kid is a problem on the mic… Fuck it #getbacktorappingyourehabingtomuch
Is this nigga South African?that face…
Was it not Tyler who started the ‘fuck earl’s mom’ it is on their new website Oddfuture.com
So obviously Tyler doesn’t care too much.
It wasn’t the fans who started that!!
hahahaahahah
when i started reading it i thought earl was locked up or something in jail
but he is sent to boarding school and thats wat Free Earl is abt????? hahahaha man
Hiphop is soooo funny these days lol rapper sent to boarding school and he cant come bak to the game lol KILL ME NOW
Smart guy. Can’t wait to hear from him again.
PUBLICITY STUNT 101! STUPID SHEEPS! THIS IS NO AFRICAN KID! THE ONLY AFRICAN IS TYLER! LOOK AT HIS LAST NAME HE’S IGBO FROM NIGERIA DUUUUUUH!
FREE EARL !
I guess people do believe anything in print!
yeh his grandad was a famous south african poet
nah, man, wikipedia is wrong and wack. keorapetse kgositsile is his pops– an old man, sure, but his pops all the same. the mag found him, spoke with him and the mom, confirmed teh parentage. kids got to let go of this “KK is his grandad” BS. dude is his pops. and his pops is like 72 years old. DAMN!
dude publicist wrote that shit…. also fuck them odd future niggas….dudes are nothing but gimmicks ,shock n bullshit..shout out to frank ocean tho… the only nigga with a future when this wave is over
…goes back to listening to J.Cole and Blu
These new young niggas is too sensitive, they think time and opportunity will wait for them, when in reality they missin the bus big time
Free Remy
Ugh we need to Earl. Goblin was… not that great.
wow… intelligent, articulate, forward-thinking and talented… why is this kid in Odd Future?
Westcoast hiphop is dead!!!!!
FUCK EARL’S MOM! HA!
YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!
GAWT DAYUM!!!! THISNIGGAUGLY
FUCK U FAGS!!!! IM IN JUVIE AND AINT NOBODY ASKIN TO FREE ME!!!!
Earl is the most lyrical young MC in the game…cant wait till dude drops sumthin official
DOPE! Seems like a smart dude.
HE SHOULD HURRY UP CAUSE HES THE ONLY REAL MC IN THE GROUP..BUT I STILL LIKE THEM THO. FRANK OCEAN IS DOPE.
FUCK ODDFUTURE.
Everybody can agree on Frank Ocean and Earl Sweatshirt’s talent, but the rest of the group is trash. Hopefully when Earl gets back from Samoa he realizes how retarded Tyler is, because dudes gonna bring the group down the exact same way he brought them up- shooting his mouth off with no filter on a whole bunch of subjects that hes too ignorant to hold an intelligent opinion on.
Nigga Earl is a house guest at Bin Ladens house.
Intelligent kid.
when Earl comes back to join Odd Future, he’s going to kill the game, and plus him and Tyler will be creating some good music, hopefully better than the music out there today
@ Tsotsi

Thebe Kgositsile (born February 24, 1994), better known by his stage name Earl Sweatshirt, is an American rapper and member of the Los Angeles alternative hip hop collective OFWGKTA.
His father has reportedly been identified to be the famous South African poet Keorapetse Kgositsile.
kid got some sense…its not a good look when people show F EARL MOMS ITS NOT FUN NO MORE…EARL JUST MIGHT BE THE NEXT PAC…lol
free earl
Man he wrote a few fucking sentences BIG WHOOP. im sure if anyone from Odd future wanted to sound educated im sure they have the capability to do so. Free Earl, not because he’s in jail but because he’s casted away from his HOME.
Yeah it does say “fuck earl mom” on their website..no mention of that huh Mr Earl?
My nigga Earl. Only truly lyrical dude in the group, and he so young. Him, Tyler and Frank need to just seperate themselves from the other faggots in the future.
yall do know these niggas are like 16yrs-22yrs. whats up with all the hate? yall old niggas mad cuz they’re doing something you wanna do huh? they’re actually making records instead of sitting at home on blog sites tryna criticize on every post. hopefully earl’s mom lets him return home soon. As a kid who got sent to a boot camp when i was 15 (im 21 now) that shit aint no fucking laughing matter. You’re basically being held against your will because you’re a minor. You fuck niggas always hating on rapradar needa find a new fucking hobby.
tyler athiestic ass probably started this..smh…Wal mart
hmm. okay.
“earl is the most lyrical young mc in the game”
pahaha this made me laugh when i read it. kendrick lamar will have this cat for brunch
This aint ordinary bruh! – MoneyMusic410.Com
honestly I don’t think earl is all that great..but Kendrick Lamar is trash fareal. Nigga sound like a southern bama.

woah!! this site has no odd future sheeps!! actually i haven’t seen an odd future sheep in a while over at 2dopeboyz, did they all finally get the whole no one gives a fuck about your opinion thing? anyways i don’t like odd future BUT Earl Sweatshirt and Frank Ocean are greatness, better than the group itself, Tyler the Creator is dope too i guess
Im’a fuck Tyler’s punk ass up when I see him. Him Hodgy and that half-a-fag lookin manbitch Dj of thiers!!! Earl is my little Pookie-Poo
Why do we hate, why so many “Fuck Odd Future” post in here, what does it matter to you if they succeed or not, Tyler told us all what to expect from his album yet people still have the audacity to say it sucked. What were you expecting? What do you think he gave you? How can you judge something that came from the head and heart of someone else? If you made a album what would it sound like? Has anyone ever told you that true art can not be judged? By true art I am referring to true expression and not some of this stuff that gets passed around as “Hip Hop” music these days. Tyler, Frank Ocean, and the entire Odd Future are raw because they are doing what they want. Sometimes stuff comes from that we all love and other times its not really all that great, but its their music/ art which means that it only needs to be loved by them. In regards to Earl, I applaud his mother for doing what most parents, specifically African American parents, wouldn’t. Which is put her sons overall well-being ahead of the satisfaction of right now. Parents don’t send kids to boarding school for nothing, obviously there are some problems there and she is trying to address them. Hopefully so that he can grow to be a pillar in the african American community, music world, and in their family. Just think, after the music is gone none of you will love him anymore, but she always will.
I know the post that will follow this so let me just say it myself. Fuck World Famous Kev, yes Fuck Me for talking some sense.
^If Tyler th Creator has carte blanche to say whatever he feels, whenever he feels like it, no matter how ridiculous and ignorant it is, then I reserve the right to drop by a webpage every once in a while and point out that hes annoying as hell and his music is trash. Sorry if that offends u, but lets be honest, youre completely oversensitive anyway.

Fuck y’all. Thebe been smart. It’s Tyler that starts all the shit. He’s the one who runs the OF website and the twitter and the one that must have put “Fuck Earl Mom” as the background. Everything about Tyler is hypocritical. He expects that no one dig into his personal life, that’s why he never answers personal questions seriously. But now, this nigga Earl, who’s not even around to speak for himself, has the consequences of Tyler’s stupid actions and statements fall upon his family. Some “best friend” Tyler turns out to be. He should shut the fuck up about Earl’s mom. Period.
It’s kind of funny. If you listen to Earl’s material prior to his joining Oddfuture he was even doper. Nonetheless he is still dope and easily the most talented in the group hands down. He’s just a student of the game. I hope he leaves OF, because he is just too mature, intelligent, and sane for that shit.
Check the OF tumblr they never interviewed Thebe (Earl) that part is complete BULLSHIT! GolfWang!
here is the caption from tumblr site
“( Fuck The New Yorker Shit, That Nigga Played Us On Some Snake Shit, Knowing Damn Well That Ain
I hate how he had to leave man he could have became something big because his rap skills are amazing man when he decides to comeback I hope that he becomes the next big thing so we can show people that Lil Wayne is not the best rapper alive.OFWGKTA
This is foolish!! Everyone’s talking about how smart his is for writing this in such an articulate fashion??? People! This guy is in his teens, what do you expect??? What you meant to say is that he’s smart for a black guy. And I find that a stupid statement! All blacks should be of that standard.
