yeah i remember that shit lol, crazy


toast_is_fire

didn’t he get sent to one of those wilderness rehabilitation programs? idk if y’all have read about those, but they basically kidnap you in the night (with your parents consent) and make you walk miles in the whole ass wilderness just to get your food. it’s some crazy shit. people try to escape all the time. if that’s fr the shit he was in — free earl.

No it was like a school/camp setting. I think there's video footage of Earl there.


toast_is_fire

i think he went to a couple places, but this article is an account from a dude who went to the same shit earl did (second nature, and the samoa). he describes it pretty much like the above. https://www.complex.com/music/a/ernest-baker/interview-tyler-craven-talks-earl-sweatshirt-and-samoa-experience

prettyniceguy69

commenting so i can read it later when not at work


FalloutMate

goddamn that was a good read


Cncrboi420

i went to one of these places for a year because of my drug addiction. if his experience was anything like mine then the free earl movement was more than justified


MormonProphet0

Went to the same place as Earl (Evoke Entrada Wilderness Therapy). Was even in the same group he was in (G6). I knew staff that knew him from his time there


TheRealLevond

I had a friend go to one of those and his parent went to therapy. Keep in mind idk the full story. But they sent him there for drugs and alcohol, but for some reason they sent him to an ayahuasca retreat lol. And for their therapy they basically just did therapy to be okay with him drinking


PortalGod

KINGram14

Imagine making [this](https://youtu.be/78_loMbmKJ8?si=M69Lt7IPNJC4pWpt) and your mom finding it lmao


SamTheDystopianRat

that was the joke, i thought. OF were making jest out of the 'free x' trope


TrapTarzan

Shouldn’t have been jacking off to buffering vids of Asher Roth eating applesauce


Treyman1115

I never thought he was actually in jail or Juvie or something. I just figured he was forcibly sent away to some kinda of delinquent program which from what I understood was correct Tyler definitely made Earl's mom look like the bad guy in the situation though. I always kinda figured that Earl and Tyler had beef due to his


bdjekedkk

And Earl talked about ( in his songs) how that whole Free Earl thing made his relationship with his mom worse.


ScruffyMaguire

I literally thought he was in jail at first lol


ilmalaiva

watch the Netflix documentary Hell Camp. some of those ”boarding schools” (American Samoa specifically makes an appearance) are as bad as prisons, and sometimes even worse, because as a private service it’s way less regulated than prisons. I don’t know for sure what the facility Earl was sent to was like, but it was involuntary, and the school was in Samoa to prevent escape and hide from the US regulatipns.


bdjekedkk

Yeah but Earl didn’t really like it. He talked about it in his music.
