I think you might be jumping the gun a bit Casey... this is all so recent and crazy I think it's a bit early to be saying that he's not in OF anymore and that him and Tyler will have beef... who knows this AIM group and Ray Luv might be just be using the fact that he's free to leech off him and get a bit of publicity for themselves.
I think we should just be happy for him and his friends and family that it appears he is coming home soon and hope that he graces us with some great, new music at some point in the future.
That being said I am really looking forward to Monday when this Ray Luv dude claims he will be making public statements.
I'm very happy that he's at least back in the US come tomorrow, but if you've been following what the mods on OF Talk have been saying (including Kelly Clancy, on the forum), it's pretty obvious he's not going to be associated with Odd Future, at least for the foreseeable future.
If I didn't have to go to work, I would link you to the forum. It's easily findable, though.
I was kidding about Earl VS. Tyler. I'm sure Tyler is just glad to have his best friend back. I'm sure it's not against the "rules", or something, for them to hang out.
fuck this is getting ridiculous. i saw the tweets from tyler... i don't understand exactly how they can force earl to not do shit with odd future. just because he is signed with a management agency?
hold up... since earl signed the contract when he was 17, he can easily opt out of it at 18 right? i don't really know much about how contracts with minors work. could this just be a way to get him back to the states? and then come his birthday he'll be free free?
I honestly can't weigh in intelligently on the contracts (Juggs!?), but I would assume there would need to be some kind of just cause to break the contract, not just simply Earl turning 18. But again, I don't really have any idea.
Very interested in what Earl is going to say on Monday.
I still say he's no with Odd Future. They'll hang out, whatever, but as far as making music, releasing it, touring, etc.? No way. Earl's mom would not approve. But, now that he's back in the States, and turns 18 soon... he's a legal adult.
All it really means is, for right now, Christian & Kelly Clancy can't manage Earl. So he probably wouldn't be signed to Odd Future Records like everyone else is. In the future, absolutely, he can still sign. But someone beat them to the punch with signing Earl, and buttered up and impressed his mother so much that she took him out of the Samoa program. No doubt in my mind that if these AIM people never got involved (by Earl's doing, if you believe that article), he would still be in Samoa until he was 21. I'm convinced of that.
I really do honestly think that she thinks Tyler corrupted her son, and probably hates every part of his being.
Gonna be an interesting ride, though, now that the Early Man is back~!

Feel like a lot of you guys may have forgotten how little stock to put in whatever an 18 year old is going to do or not do, or how permanent it will be either way.
Radical is seriously the most awesome thing ever. I wish they'd do something like that again. Lots of current hip-hop and a few classics they could go in over. Oh well, the OF Tape Vol. 2 will be awesome.
Apparently Earl is gonna speak tomorrow, so.... yeah.
Right now, the OF albums I'm listening to the most are:
1. EARL (Earl Sweatshirt) 2. nostalgia, ULTRA. (Frank Ocean) 3. PurpleNakedLadies (Syd tha Kid/Left Brain/Matt Martian) 4. Award Tour EP (Mike G.) 5. A playlist of all three volumes of OF Talk's Rare & Unreleased
I fucking love me some Internet. Syd is awesome, when I had my old facebook I had her as a friend and actually talk to her and shit. So cool.
so... shit is goin pretty crazy on oftalk, i don't really know what to make of it. being as pretty much all of odd future hasn't said anything on twitter today (i now they're on a flight from australia but still they're usually all over that shit) i think this whole earl thing might be true
Here ya go. Tyler posted Earl's new Twitter on his page.
@earlxsweat
Frank Ocean and Kelly Clancy are following him. Christian Clancy and the two I mentioned before also posted his new Twitter on their respective pages. Tyler is being a little biznatch and complaining about how he's changed, I guess. Whatever.
NEW MUSIC~! Kinda.
Yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit my nipples got hard with excitement and anticipation. Been waiting for this poop for like, a year and a half.
