"Earl Sweatshirt" (Thebe Neruda Kgositsile) is half of the rap duo Odd Future. (The other half is "Tyler the Creator".) I don't know much about their music, and I doubt that I'd like it, but Earl was recently interviewed and displayed an amusing take on a couple things:
What do you think of social media?
Earl: "Everyone's like sheep on social media, like one person starts making noise, and everyone's like, 'Hey, yeah!' and then you get a whole bunch of people making noise at you."
It's been reported that your dad, South African poet Keorapetse Kgositsile, has not listened to your music. Has he?
Earl: "I haven't shown him any music. Like if I was a plumber, I wouldn't bring a sink home to my parents. I'm not actively trying to bring my work into the house."
loved the odd future shout out, but as a hardcore fan, i must point out that odd future consists of 9+ members, not just Tyler and Earl. ;)
