Earl Sweatshirt Slams Label Over New Album Release (Recap)
. And with the rapper's previous LP debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, expectations of a commercial and artistic continuation of what Sweatshirt has begun are present, both from the rapper and the label. And this might be the reason why the 21-year-old Odd Future member is so angry about the label's botching of the release, because he expected them to be treating the release like it was a big deal. An interview with NPR has confirmed as much. "Brah, I was devastated," Sweatshirt said of the release, which was supposed to begin with just the video for "Grief" being shared, but rather saw everything except the video getting released last week. "I was ready to like kill some--the day I was--it would've been so quiet for any n-- from Sony. I was so mad cause it was like--especially because I feel like this is my first album. This is the first thing that I've said that I fully stand behind, like the good and the bad of it. Because it's just--I've never been this transparent with myself or with music. I've never been behind myself this much. So for them to not treat as importantly as I was treating it was just like--I couldn't help but to feel a little disrespected, you know?" Read more - here.
