While Earl is known for being outspoken, he did admit the immediate backlash from his critique came as a surprise.

“I was not expecting that,” he told MTV News before hitting the stage at his Vitamin Water Uncapped performance in New York on Monday. “Because I wasn’t trying to come foul at Jay-Z, it’s just not my favorite album by him, but I f—-ing love Jay-Z. … I stand by the fact that I don’t like that album, but I love Jay-Z. I just thought he didn’t sound like Jay-Z. I’m not delusional enough to think that people don’t change. Everyone changes. I sound a lot different than I did a while ago too and I’m sure there’s people that’s not fans of that and I’m accepting of that.” (MTV)

While Sweatshirt would not take back his remarks, he did recently let people know the situation had been blown out of proportion.

“ill say two things and then ill go away,” Sweatshirt tweeted July 12.

“so many idiots came charging out the woodworks yesterday to defend jay z like i said something offensive about him as a human being”

“all my point was is that this album, in my opinion, was bad.”

“im not gonna speak on that anymore unless its in person cause 140 characters is too restricting”

“now that thats out of the way:”

Last week, Sweatshirt publicly made it known he is not a fan of Jigga’s latest project.

“if you really f*cked with magna carta then unfollow me,” he tweeted July 11.

“im gonna listen to allure and eat a breakfast burrito.”

“i hope that opinions on my material throughout my career are based on the quality of it and not how big my name is”

“hahah welp theres goes the last of the black fans i had”

Jay’s former business partner Dame Dash recently applauded the new album.
