Yeah, he's got a spark about him. No doubt. But he needs to separate himself from Tyler the Creator who's just holding him back.
EARL needs to break away and write his own stuff, none of this raping, or setting things on fire or golfwang bullshit. He's got a good flow and understands rhyme structure, he just needs someone behind him that'll let him grow as an artist than someone as immature as Tyler who restricts him and is a negative influence on him.
Aside from Tyler, who I'll give him his props is a decent producer, and Frank Ocean everyone other than EARL in OF is completely useless so EARL associating himself with them is giving him no dividends. I reckon if he cuts ties with the lot of them, moves away from being Tyler the Creator's wingman and gets a production team/co-writers of decent level behind him, he can be a pretty good MC.
