Thebe Neruda Kgositsile (Earl Sweatshirt) Quotes

I think rap music is rap music. I mean, are there heavy writing aspects of it? Absolutely. In a sense, is it poetry? Yeah. I've heard that so much, growing up in a house with poetry. But I think people like to use that as a shortcut for who's good and who's not. It's like the word 'lyrical' - 'lyrical' is the worst word in the entire world.

I use very close harmonies. I like strong rhythmic ideas, too.
