Earl Sweatshirt Trolls Fans At His “Doris” Shows By Teasing Frank Ocean Appearance

by

Earl Sweatshirt recently hosted an almost complete Odd Future reunion for the Los Angeles show of his Doris ten-year anniversary trek. Moreover, he also performed in Chicago and New York, and has another show in London coming up on Friday (August 25). Overall, it was quite the tender, nostalgic, and downright heartwarming display for old-school OFWGKTA fans and post-collective Earl fans alike. Not only could the Chicago-born and California-raised MC look back on his career, but he also celebrated his journey with the crew he started with. However, in addition to Hodgy and Left Brain, there was one face from the group whose absence people hyper-fixated on: the ever-elusive Frank Ocean.

The R&B star being off the radar is a law of physics at this point, and doesn’t necessarily have to fix that if it’s what he prefers as an artist and individual. Regardless, the rest of Odd Future’s alumni is aware of this, and Earl Sweatshirt decided to play on that in the cruelest but funniest way possible. During his Doris shows, the 29-year-old has continually teased Frank Ocean’s guest appearance for the track “Sunday,” which he appears on. Whether it’s saying “We’ll get him next time,” fake-announcing him, or bringing out another person entirely, Earl hasn’t forgotten his comedic chops from the “Loiter Squad” days.

Earl Sweatshirt Teases Frank Ocean Cameo To No Avail

Still, the master MC said that he wants to work something out for a future show, so not all hope is lot. All that aside, it’s hard to think of a scenario that Frank Ocean would break his mystique for these days. The closest we got to that was a controversial performance at Coachella and random appearances at concerts or events, but even those were at arm’s length. What’s more is that one online user started a rumor that Earl asked fans to put their phones away and then brought Frank out to perform “Super Rich Kids” at one of the shows, but that’s unverified. Check out some more clips of Earl Sweatshirt’s trolling down below.

More Trolling At The Doris Shows

Meanwhile, the Some Rap Songs creative has been far from elusive, often popping out for his own material, features, and a strong connection to the rap “underground” (because what does that even mean nowadays?). In fact, he just dropped a new single and music video, “Sentry” which features MIKE and is off his upcoming project with The Alchemist, Voir Dire. Hopefully he reunites with his collaborator in a documented manner one day, whether on wax or onstage. With that in mind, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Earl Sweatshirt and Frank Ocean.

During a recent performance at the Novo in Los Angeles, Earl Sweatshirt surprised audience members with a very special guest. The Chicago-born rapper was joined onstage by fellow Odd Future artist Tyler, the Creator. The duo performed “Whoa” from Earl Sweatshirt’s 2013 album Doris, and fans went wild. The performance was in celebration of his solo debut’s 10-year-anniversary, with a few more anniversary shows still lined up for this month. As Tyler, the Creator makes his way onto the stage, attendees immediately erupt into a cheer. It’s no shock that the crowd was pleased to see the performer, as it’s not too often they get together these days. Partway through the song, Earl Sweatshirt approached him, and the two shared a hug.

Tyler wasn’t the only Odd Future associate to come out for the show. A photo began circulating this morning showcasing various members of the collective posing together. The photo features Syd, Taco, Mike G, Jasper Dolphin, and more. With that being said, several fans pointed out that Frank Ocean, Hodgy, and Left Brain weren’t in the photo. It left fans pining for an official reunion, however, in the past Tyler’s claimed it probably won’t happen.

Tyler, The Creator And Earl Sweatshirt Perform “Whoa”

In a 2020 interview, Tyler was asked about whether or not Odd Future would be putting out any new projects in the near future. “Nine times out of seven, no,” he replied. “I would be open to it, but I think everyone is kinda past that. I think some people base it on nostalgia rather than like, ‘Would it actually be good?’ Like, we don’t always need a Bad Boys 5. Even though I like the last one. N***a, it’s there, listen to it.”

Earlier this week, Tyler, the Creator also unveiled the lineup for his 2023 Camp Flog Gnaw carnival. Syd, Earl Sweatshirt, Mike G, Domo Genesis, and Left Brain are set to take the stage at the two-day event. Camp Flog Gnaw 2023 will take place on November 11 and 12 at Dodger Stadium, where fans can also catch performances from SZA, Ice Spice, Rex Orange County, Lil Yachty and, of course, Tyler himself.

Earl Sweatshirt Will Perform His ‘Doris’ Album In Full For Its Upcoming Tenth Anniversary

Earl Sweatshirt most recently released Sick! at the top of 2022, an album that Joe Budden didn’t particularly like. But given its No. 80 debut on the Billboard 200, it looks like most everyone else did.

“Even though he’s grown up, though, there remains an element of inscrutability in his music, a chip on his shoulder that has been reduced in size but is no less embedded in the fabric of his being,” Uproxx‘s Aaron Williams wrote in his Sick! review, later noting, “You won’t be hearing many requests for Earl’s new music at any clubs or parties anytime soon (none you’d want to go to, anyway). But what feels more important is that Earl is in a good place, mentally and emotionally, and that’s translated to art that is proportionately more enjoyable.”

You can hear Earl’s music at The Novo in Los Angeles soon enough, however. He announced on Wednesday, June 28, that he will be performing a one-off 10-year anniversary show at the venue on August 19 to commemorate the August 20, 2013 release of Doris.

“He’ll perform Doris in full for the first time ever,” Stereogum relayed. “Domo Genesis is also on the bill, and it would not be a surprise if some of the album’s other featured guests made appearances as well.”

Doris‘ other featured artists were Casey Veggies, Frank Ocean, the late Mac Miller, RZA, SK Laflare, Tyler The Creator, and Vince Staples.

Earl Sweatshirt To Celebrate A Decade Of “Doris” With Single Show

Ten years is a long time, and that’s how long it’s been since Earl Sweatshirt came bursting onto the scene. His debut album, Doris, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this summer. Earl will be performing a one-night show in honor of the time-lapse, gracing The Novo stage in Los Angeles on August 19th. He will perform the entire album for the first time with collaborator Domo Genesis. Domo is on the third track in Doris, a song titled “20 Wave Caps.”

Milestones like this don’t come around very often. For a decade, Earl Sweatshirt has been a figurehead for the rap game, and Doris is what started it all. Since 2013, he’s released I Don’t Like Sh*t, I Don’t Go Outside: An Album by Earl Sweatshirt (2015) and SICK! (2022). Three albums in 10 years don’t seem like much, but Earl’s sound and precision make it so that when he does release music, it’s game-changing. Doris is a testament to this type of influence, and now the album is getting even more flowers.

Earl Sweatshirt And The Legacy Of “Doris”

Earl made quite the splash with Doris back in the early 2010s. His features on that album included Vince Staples, Tyler, the Creator, Frank Ocean, Mac Miller, and RZA. He dropped the album after a forced stint at a Somoan boarding school. He signed with Columbia Records when he was 19 years old and had the album finished that same year. This came off the coattails of his first mixtape, Earl, which he released in 2010 (Earl was 16 at the time.)

The tracklist totes 15 songs, totaling over 44 minutes of classic Earl Sweatshirt beats and verses. The album received massive critical acclaim, launching Earl to the forefront of the rap game. While he’s an acquired taste for some, others absolutely adore his sound. The Doris 10-year anniversary concert is bound to be a huge rap event, making this summer even hotter than it already is.
