About This Track

Earl Sweatshirt anchors this track with a verse that swings between boasts and self-aware deflation, adopting personas that shift mid-line. The production sits sparse and menacing, letting the vocal sit exposed. Domo Genesis was meant to appear but was away at the time, leaving the spotlight to Earl and a skit outro featuring Tyler, the Creator and Jasper that undercuts any momentum the song builds, collapsing into absurdist comedy. The lyrics traffic in provocation and shock value, mixing references to wealth and street life with crude sexual imagery and racial slurs. It's the sound of a young crew testing boundaries and finding shock easier than substance, though the technical facility in the bars themselves suggests sharper work was possible if the impulse had been restraint rather than excess.

"Blade" is a track by Odd Future, from the album Radical, released 7th May 2010. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Blade

[Verse: Earl Sweatshirt]

Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, throwing chairs, killing shit

I'm half-privileged, think white and have nigga lips

A tad different, mad smart, act ignorant

Shit, I'll pass a class when my dad starts giving shits

But as long as our relationship is turdless

I'ma keep burning rubber and fucking these beats with burnt dick

Who that? Oh, that new-coon John Cusack

A Mecca button-up, shouting, "Bring Fubu back"

Hands full of coke, mouth full of crack Muzak

Odd Future on the do-rag—guess who's back

With no hint, we're egging with no tint

Plus, it's a shotgun under the seat where your ho sits, ugh

The Night Striker, I'm riding her, up-tying her

It's nine Vicodins stuck inside of the windpipes of her

A little bit of sherm sure provokes the fucking fight in her

She started biting 'cause I'm giving cock like it's advice to her

Take that, I'm on top like wave caps

This is grade-A rap—Domo, bring that bass back, nigga

[Outro: Earl Sweatshirt & Tyler, the Creator]

Um, Domo couldn’t be here, so, uh… We’re just… I don’t like talking. Hu— Ugh!

Awww, cuz fell on the floor, cuz! Ayy, call them policemen niggas that, like, help people when they hurt!
