Earl Sweatshirt hasn't had the best relationship with media outlets recently. After going on hiatus for about two years, Earl returned to the US, appeared on a few tracks, and released a single, "Chum" at the end of November in which he criticized parts of the media.
Now, it appears Earl is going through similar problems after the video for the track was released, apparently without his permission.
Well if you can find the chum video watch it. Whatever. This whole process is fucked.

Chum was directed by Hiro Murai, and delayed by The Man

If it's any consolation, Earl, we love it.
