It says he's reported to be found, but nowhere does it talk about when he was even missing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.53.50.113 (talk) 08:00, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
missing leads you to think NO ONE KNOWS where they are....his where abouts where known...but at a very need to know basis amongst family maybe friends... but his whereabouts where publically found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.255.33 (talk) 23:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Is there a reference that confirms he was born in Little Rock AR.Questionable pulse (talk) 01:44, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
His father is listed as Keorapetse William Kgositsile. While there's a reference, I noticed that on Kgositsile's page his birth year is 1938. This seems like an inordinately long time gap between the two, considering Earl was born in 1994.
I have a suspicion that something is inaccurate here: either The New Yorker got it wrong somehow, or Kgositsile's information is incorrect. If Kgositsile is actually Earl's father and everything is accurate then that's fine, but I'm a bit thrown off by the gap.

also, if you notice tyler the creator has been changed to Tyler the masturbater at the bottom, lol, i think someones messing with this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.6.99.12 (talk) 06:29, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I think there needs to be a little bit more about Earl's biography, it seems too short, I mentioned that his father left him when he was six, that is just a reference from his song chum. I think there needs to be more about him and his personal life other than his career life. Somuchinsite (talk) 06:43, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
I'm thinking we need to avoid discussing the rumors in the article until there is definitive proof... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.48.54.62 (talk) 02:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
The date is wrong, it says february 8, 2011, instead of 2012*. and i think even if isnt true it worth including because its a bit of an internet/twitter phenomenon right now . and there is a new twitter, that I do believe is his, created on Feb 8th, @earlxsweat. its feb 9th today, and there are like 88,000 followers, he follows 11. His first tweet was "Home." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.2.170.249 (talk) 19:20, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Year changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Perfect is the word (talk • contribs) 06:10, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
New track just appeared on the internet. However tweets by Tyler and Hodgy aren't all that conclusive about the authenticity of it. http://terttlefer.com/ 58.108.188.143 (talk) 04:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
What evidence is there to merit a "TBA (2012)" entry in the discography section? 72.136.175.211 (talk) 00:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
He also said he is going back to school — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.136.132 (talk) 07:08, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Something needs to be added about his producer name, randomblackdude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.43.141 (talk) 04:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

The website should be changed from oddfuture.com to the website he released his new track on. http://terttlefer.com/
It doesn't seem too legit but it was linked to from his Twitter page.

Regarding the last paragraph; it's 2012. 83.145.43.98 (talk) 10:57, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
There is, as of yet, no evidence that Earl Sweatshirt is signed to Odd Future Records. Mongeese (talk) 00:40, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
We, Fox Rothschild LLP, currently represent Earl Sweatshirt. His label information is incorrect. He is NOT signed to Odd Future Records. He is currently on Columbia Records through his own imprint Tan Cressida Records. Please update. Contact me with any questions or concerns. jmoore@foxrothschild.com

The page is categorized as "African American Buddhists." Is there a citation for this? 12.86.94.46 (talk) 03:30, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Right now, Mavi (rapper) redirects to Earl Sweatshirt. Is there any reason Mavi shouldn't have his own page? A quick Google search shows that he has been covered in several major music publications (Pitchfork, Complex, FactMag, etc) WhatsImportantToMe (talk) 14:07, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Hey, I’d like to know if you think it would be ok to remove the (Early) label from Horrorcore on this page. Regarding only the facts, Earl made Horrorcore music for over half his career (this is a rough number). What do you guys think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaybeItIsNotReal (talk • contribs) 17:59, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Yes, because it is the genre for “Earl”, and his albums following have a dark, scary vibe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaybeItIsNotReal (talk • contribs) 03:25, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
this entire article sounds like shit when its read out loud. whoever wrote this mess of an article calls him "Kgositsile" 70 times which is his last name...never once is his given name thebe used and never once is he called earl. by the second paragraph it sounds like a mouthful of potatoes..this needs to be fixed because it sounds so unbelievably retardedand super disrespectful. think about how any one of you would feel if you read your wiki page and it only mentioned you by your last name. nobody wants that.

after the initial mention, a person should generally be referred to by surname only ... or may be referred to by a pronoun. Generally speaking, subjects should not otherwise be referred to by their given name." This is standard practice on biographical articles in Wikipedia, see for example The Notorious B.I.G.
