“This is wild as hell, we’re both nervous,' Earl Sweatshirt said
Just before the event's 2 p.m. start time, hundreds of fans lined up outside the MOCA building’s spacious lot, waiting for their turn to step out from under the gray downtown Los Angeles skies and into the museum doors.
After the host’s brief introduction, a timid, gray-sweatshirt clad Earl appeared, helping his mother onto the stage before taking his own seat facing hers, and chuckling into the microphone, “This is wild as hell, we’re both nervous,” as his opening line, to which Cheryl amusedly concurred. Throughout the roughly 45-minute conversation, the duo shed some light on their fragile interpersonal dynamic, while touching on everything from racism to music to social media.
The pair also shared anecdotes about Cheryl’s hesitation to join social media, with Cheryl earning some laughs and applause from the crowd when she admitted to “staying up to date with Black Twitter” despite avoiding making her own account, explaining, “I’m afraid I’ll fall in too deep,” and “Thebe’s taken up all the Internet space.
Earl also took a fan question that asked him if he strives to have his music understood, to which he responded without pause, “Rap music is slave music. Slave communication was encrypted, spoken in code, so really this is the new version of it. Really, if I can understand it, I can teach it. Writing [music] is a meticulous process for me, it’s my own code. It takes a minute to figure out sometimes.
In an answer to a subsequent audience question, Earl again touched on his music-making process, saying, "It [my music] is not explicitly shiny or for sale -- the goal of it isn’t to sell, it's to get it off. Rap helps me figure out life, it’s the medium I use to sort life out."
