Earl Sweatshirt Performs “Hive” at Vitaminwater & The Fader’s #uncapped Concert Series
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Photos , Videos[3] Comments
Last night, Miss Info hosted the second stop on Vitaminwater x The Fader’s 2013 #uncapped concert series in New York City. Despite a crazy heatwave hitting the Big Apple, an intimate crowd of about 50 people gathered at the Ludlow Autobody shop in the LES to watch Earl Sweatshirt rock a private concert. DJ Venus X warmed up the audience before the man of the night Earl Sweatshirt took to the stage.
Vince Staples was on hand to play hypeman as OF’s most wanted performed mixtape favs and tracks from his upcoming album, Doris. We also got the first taste of “Burgundy,” a track that Earl says is one of his favorites from the project. After the 30 minute set, Info and Sweatshirt sat down in the humid garage for an interesting chat about exploded hard drives, creative bursts and Earl’s views on Jay-Z’s Magna Carta. The full conversation will be released next Monday and more performance footage is on the way. Stay tuned for more information on the next #uncapped event!
Check out Earl’s performance of “Hive” and photos from the event after the jump…

LOL!! Dog, these Odd Future cats are so garbage. Anyone can make them trash rappity-rap songs with no structure or concept whatsoever. Dudes don’t understand that rap is a business. I’m not trying to hear your garbage if you can’t make hot records that evoke some form of emotion out of me. No one in that crowd was moved by that garbage performance at all.

–SOUNDS LIKE U ALL R DISAPPOINTED OVER THIS “STRANGE EARL CONCERT”
–This is a bit LONG. BUT I THINK you WILL be glad U took the two minutes read it!
–The **ACTUAL** –MAIN EVENT** OF THE “#UNCAPPED EARL SWEATSHIRT 7/15 CONCERT” in NYC, IS a *GREAT *GREAT STORY! Please, read on.
OK…there was ONE kid in the crowd THAT BROUGHT THE “DEAD” CROWD BACK TO “LIFE” -HE- TRULY WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE EVENING!(video clip added at end)
Some “college looking/white kid”, in the front row asked Earl if he would let him beatbox–Mac said “Let him”. Earl said “WHY?? is it EVERYWHERE I go..SOMEONE ALWAYS ASKS THAT?” & then he said NO!-BUT- U CAN pick out the next song.
–There were ONLY 50 PEOPLE in the WHOLE audience so it was strangely quiet & VERY reserved for a rap concert–
*I thought the kid had GUTS to ask & I also understood why Earl said no…u NEVER know WHAT kind of kook or HORRIBLE BBoxer you could end up with.
–Well,3 more songs go by & STILL the audience is “DEAD-QUIET”! Earl says, “What do you guys want to hear? U lol WON’T believe this but the same kid yells out “I WANNA HEAR THE WHITE KID BEATBOX!”
**At this point I think Earl would of tried ANYTHING to -move this DEAD/SOUNDLESS crowd- SO Earl hands him a mic & moves over by MAC & starts rapping & the kids starts beatboxing. He looks over his shoulder at the camera, his friend is filming with a few times…he had that, ” WOW, I can NOT believe this is happening” look on his face…Ha…he’s too young for me BUT he IS DARLING!
Earl raps for LESS than ONE minute & mid-flow -he is actually starting to HEAR this AMAZING BEATBOXING.
–He stops the song & turns around & looks at the kid & says, “WAIT..WOW! & WTF ?”
MAC says, “I told you to let him”. THEN Earl shakes his hand & says, “WOW..THAT WAS AWESOME…THAT WAS TIGHT” The kid had GREAT manners, & said TO EARL, “Thanks, that really means a lot to me” He seemed to have NO EGO…JUST HAPPY/THRILLED/GLOWING!
–It was THE MOST NOISE you heard out of those 50 people ALL night! lol IT WAS SUCH A GREAT GREAT MOMENT & ha IT WASN’T EVEN MINE.
I was SO impressed with the kid–I did a little research, not hard to do when there are only 50 names on the list to go through. ha…
*I want to give this kid MAD PROPS* & help him out a little if I can. —AND- asking ALL of u to do the same. He SO deserves it…(clips & channels below)
Turns out his name is Joey Gatto & he is a Youtuber! He has a clip of his BBoxing with Earl on his main channel JOEYGATTOTV (U GOTTA see this/it’s under 2 min-&-VLOG about the whole night & more clips on his -hidden-small-2nd channel-on YT under DemiLeGatto. (look for the vid/VLOG with Earl’s name on them)
IF u watch a lot of YT videos–YES, THAT IS Josh aka thecomputernerd01 with Joey 🙂
OK OK..I admit I obsessively “looked” at him AFTER I found out about his -“hard” home situation-
*MAIN SITE IS THE BEST! There is BBoxing, comedy skits-A VERY funny-“What Would You Do For a Dollar?”, *done on NYC streets–“The Amanda Bynes Interview” is GENIUS (the writing/lines & her BOOBS ha). & MANY more! Also, a new collab channel called SDK “Settle Down Kids” on YT with 5 other channels (busy boy)
He has SUCH a variety of vids on JOEYGATTOTV… MAYBE this is not your ‘cup of tea’, at first glance…give it try and if not–well each to there own!
HE JUST started this channel last January ’13 – April ’13 he had 3,000 subscribers TODAY-July-he has OVER 32,000 subscribers–THAT takes A LOT of work aprox 29K NEW subs in 3 months! wow
**BUT it takes A LOT MORE THAN THAN THOSE #’S TO GET NOTICED ON YT & this kid NEEDS/DESERVES TO GET NOTICED!
-Videos of CATS playing with a toy get 40 million views-& THEN you have someone like Joey (& others) who HAVE talent-use HIGH END cameras & lighting – great at editing…& he worked his butt off to get 31,000 subs–PLEASE help him get to 50K in the next month! PASS THIS AROUND!
EVEN his–Harlem Shake– is the BEST ONE I HAVE SEEN–TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE REST!U have to see the **VERY VERY end of it! Creative!
Check out -The Beatboxing Story-video–very creative as well & his other skits etc.
**PLEASE make sure u SUBSCRIBE to these channels & give them a THUMBS UP/LIKE on the vids u watch–THAT is what helps these YT’ers, that and views.
—This kid has got some RAW talent & I believe he’s got a shot at going -somewhere- fast. (But needs a BOOST)
–I wanted to share the clip but also felt compelled to help Joey. If you watch his “Draw My Life” video, you will see how THIS IS HIS DREAM–but also–he goes to college–helps care for a very sick disabled single mother–NO $-works 2 plus jobs-AND—-NOT– A BITTER FEELING COMES THROUGH…Just an unbelievable POSITIVE GRATEFUL attitude.
I know this was LONG / but it is -A STORY-&-you were all so bummed about how bad the concert was etc…I SO wanted u to know…THERE WAS A *GREAT *GREAT MOMENT THAT NIGHT THAT DID NOT MAKE THE “NEWS”
I will add the links below-but-IF u have any problems with them. Just go to YT and type in the channel names I added above.

**My words for the day…seems to fit the #uncapped Earl Sweatshirt concert…
“In every pile of POOP…ya never know…there may be a diamond hiding in that pile of dung”
CHEERS! I hope on some level via all of you & me & our pals. With just a few clicks on our computers or phones-that we can help a kid’s DREAM come a bit closer to a reality.
Hope you ENJOY, the Earl clips. & I hope you that you too would feel -moved – to… “Pay it Forward”
