He shows a more structured display of lyrical ability here. Just his flow, cadence, he seems more comfortable on the track. From the punchlines to the multi syllabics it's just oozing with unbelievable structure, especially considering he was 16 when that was released. I mean, he was 15 on dat ass. The only problem with "EARL" is it's one dimensional, almost mimicking late 90s-early 2000 eminem. Which isn't a BAD thing, every rapper has had an influence. It's just he has a more uniquely developed style in songs like Blade, or like mentioned previously Couch.
