newyorker:

In this week’s issue, Kelefa Sanneh writes about the hip-hop collective Odd Future and its mysteriously missing member Earl Sweatshirt (sub req). In the course of reporting the story, Sanneh tracked Earl down and asked him about the Free Earl movement that sprung up among Odd Future fans after his disappearance. Earl had this to say:

“Initially I was really pleased that all these people claimed that they wanted me released because I thought that translated into ‘they care,’” Earl wrote. “So time progresses and the fan base gets bigger and the ‘Free Earl’ chants get louder but now with the ‘Free Earl’ chants come a barely indirect ‘Fuck Earl’s Mom’ and in the blink of an eye my worry changes from ‘will there still be this hype when I get back’ to ‘Oh shit I just inspired a widespread movement of people who are dedicated to the downfall of my mom.’”

This video rules- Also, my Halloween costume for this year will be almost too easy-
