Remember when the only thing people wanted to talk about...

[Justin Tonation]

...was Odd Future f/ Tyler the Creator?

We've moved onto Lil B, whose 'I'm Gay' is the best thing out right now

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

When was that? I've never heard of either one of them. Are they bands?

[azaghal1981]

People are waiting for the return of Earl.

[Relaxer]

Yeah, that's a good point. There's a feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop, that the band is incomplete until everyone is back and accounted for. Plus I think Tyler's Goblin wasn't quite the world-changer that people thought it would be and it provided an incentive to move on to other things.

I doubt anybody could have met the expectations so many had for that record. The last hip hop record I remember such high anticipation for was The Marshall Mathers LP.

[Unsanity]

I still want to see them live. Glad interweb hype is gone...or is it?

[Relaxer]

They're touring Europe right now, which is why the buzz has died down here a bit. It's all the rage over there right now though.

[StoneTheCrow]

I doubt anybody could have met the expectations so many had for that record.

Completely agree.  It was good but because the bar had been set so high people couldn't help being somewhat disappointed.

[DeathFromAbove1979]

I still listen to Earl all the way through more than I listen to any one song on Goblin. I liked Goblin, I just thought he was trying a little too hard. I dunno. I wasn't disappointed, it still has it's moments. I think "She" is amazing and their live show is incredibly fun.
