SCHOOLBOY Q

I listened to his record and was unimpressed with it last year, dog. Didn't even know he was BNMed either. You don't have to second-guess everything.

ok so on our original point, 'immediate' means, 'i liked it more right away', but isnt an intrinsic quality of the actual music, but i'm saying that it was more immediate in the pop sense, and that's something i value while you tend to value perhaps a more abstract approach from this partic. artist

blah reword

for you,
immediate simply meant, 'i liked it more right away'

i meant 'immediate' as an actual characteristic of music that was aiming for a more pop immediacy,

for me, this is something valued, while you might place more of a value on abstraction in this particular artist,

and now we have both agreed 2 disagree

what is 'half assed' about it?

schoolboy q just kind of drones, jhene sounds uninvested, and it's really small-sounding, fades into the background easily

xp, yeah, that's probably right

"Kamikaze" and (especially) "Fantasy" are def. my favourite tracks on Setbacks.

"Fantasy" is pretty much perfect, esp. that bit where the beat gets all muted and fuzzy like you're listening from inside the womb.

I immediately loved both Setbacks and Habits & Contradictions

this album really isn't all that

mostly i don't get why everyone is falling all over themselves to talk about how good the production is... i think some of the beats are really corny

if not corny than at least just kinda off-putting... sorta like the danny brown record except without the implicit acknowledgement that some of the beats are supposed to piss you off

(idk beats on the danny brown are great)

like H&C much more than setbacks, probably because of the production...

i feel like the production is more ear-catching on H&C and schoolboy q stretches himself vocally a lot more too - the songs have a lot more unexpected twists and tangents that keep you interested and the beats are pretty incredible.

did u know? H&C is a prequel to Setbacks. Makes you think eh?

otm

I was half-wrong about "Kamikaze" btw, the beat is kinda whatever, but Q's performance is great

there are some awesome flutes on H&C too

nice portishead sample as well

REAL OGS, etc.

i agree w/rev vis-à-vis the two jhené songs though i'm sadly coming to the conclusion that i'm just not that into jhené at all so her presence is kinda negligible to me

ha yeah i totally thought of that thread a few times xp

she's a good songwriter when she has more room to stretch out and she has really good phrasing imo.

I think she'd do pretty well just doing floaty inconsequential rap chorus hooks forever.

SCHOOLBOY THERE HE GO

Love all the ad libs too

Minneapolis. I was literally expecting 150 people there because nobody showed up to the meet-and-greet. I was thinking, "This is about to be a disaster." But that shit was packed out. It was a little overwhelming for me. It was crazy, all white people. There were like three black people in there.

people who wanna perfect their "the album you lames didn't rep for was better" game really need to get into metal, you'll love it

this album really isn't all that

its not like i wasnt on here telling ppl to check it out tho

I think you're overestimating your Schoolboy Q cheerleading a little bit deej. Not that it really matters

funky house septics (D-40) wrote this on thread rolling gun sounds thread on board I Love Music on Aug 24, 2011

the schoolboy q you linked me to awhile back was way more up my alley but i dont think that track is rlly too far outside of what we talk about

that said its not striking me particularly

i can't tell if you're talking about the schoolboy album there w/ that second line

anyway to settle this once and for all it appears as if you posted about schoolboy q once in the r&b thread in 2011 and then not until you posted your year end list this jan (except for when we were talking about asap rocky)

but i didn't go thru all the ilx mentions of the word "schoolboy"

yo nobody gets down with the "the early demos were better" stance than me, I can dig in, c'mon over to the metal side there's a bunch of us haters telling people not to dig what they dig

Deej taking over the metal thread would be so awesome

jesus christ dudes hunting my post history? i included it in the top ten of my favorite albums of the year, which i posted on this board

pretty sure i called 'fantasy' one of my fav songs of the year at SOME point. if i didn't post it i certainly told ilxors on IM just as often. like, anyone who regularly talks w/ me about rap here knows i was telling ppl i liked it

but my only pt was that this wasn't some "the older shit was better" monday morning QB ish

i dunno how i feel about that really. not too excited on first listen; i tend to like ab soul more when he doesn't play up to the 'philosopher of the group' tag he's been given.

"enjoy your mind trip but don't trip on your mind" is awful

enjoying the ab-soul album a lot

i think it might be as good as section.80 ??

i hadn't looked at the tracklist when i first listened to the album and danny brown coming out of nowhere put a big grin on my face

Album IS very good. Got it last week off iTunes, just getting into it.

We are living in an age of genius. I love this song. My ten year old boy with autism loves this song and we let him listen to it despite the industrial cussing. My wife loves this song despite normally hating all things rap. This song is the first one that has united my household! It is The Shit.

I am talking bout There He Go

motherfuckers are still sleeping on the ab-soul record :(

it's alright

motherfuckers are still sleeping on the ab-soul record :(

It hasn't really hit me yet has that one. Gonna listen to it some more.
