"Man of the Year" is still song of the year

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 8 July 2016 14:50 (seven years ago) link

^might be right

im liking this though, not sure i heard a standout killer jam but all m/l was pleasing

johnny crunch, Friday, 8 July 2016 20:03 (seven years ago) link

I had a bit of a stoned epiphany listening to Blank Face last night and have decided it is pretty dope after all.

It hasn't got anything to match some of the bangers off oxymoron, but it is still a fine album.

calzino, Sunday, 10 July 2016 12:20 (seven years ago) link

I'm in love with "Groovy Tony/Eddie Kane."

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 10 July 2016 12:25 (seven years ago) link

the tha dogg pound track bangs p good

johnny crunch, Sunday, 10 July 2016 21:24 (seven years ago) link

record is good. been pretty hit and miss artist for me but this is consistent

moistest hoist (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 July 2016 00:21 (seven years ago) link

This is amazing. Agreed that Groovy Tony/Eddie Kane is something else. Love the Vince Staples and E-40 tracks too.

Even despite the inconsistency of previous albums I still loved 'em, but this one hasn't got a dud track on it and is probably his best album yet. But still my fave ever Q tracks are on habits.. and oxymoron.

calzino, Sunday, 17 July 2016 13:01 (seven years ago) link

I don't know those albums at all - this is my introduction. I'll definitely revisit older stuff on the strength of this though.

Oxymoron is at least half an alltime classic album, plenty on it to love.

calzino, Sunday, 17 July 2016 13:16 (seven years ago) link

John Muir is another cut off Blank Face i keep repeating.

calzino, Sunday, 17 July 2016 16:30 (seven years ago) link

yep

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 17 July 2016 16:31 (seven years ago) link

JoHn Muir is indeed a highlight, classic rider anthem with crisp live drums

You gotta admire the man's dedication to the capital "H" meme

poolboy skew (voodoo chili), Sunday, 17 July 2016 16:51 (seven years ago) link

i don't know what i think yet, it did sound aimless as i've seen said, but strong, likely a grower

j., Sunday, 17 July 2016 21:49 (seven years ago) link

I felt like that at first, it is deffo a grower and has a lot of strength in depth.

calzino, Sunday, 17 July 2016 21:59 (seven years ago) link

good album imo

based stress reduction (crüt), Monday, 18 July 2016 14:46 (seven years ago) link

this sounds great on first listen to me

can't tell if there's anything as good as 'man of the year' or 'collard greens' but there was a huge gap between those 2 and the next best track on oxymoron, this is way more consistent

flopson, Thursday, 21 July 2016 20:11 (seven years ago) link

Yeah this was my feeling as well

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 21 July 2016 21:25 (seven years ago) link

Well I'd put "studio" up there but more for bj the Chicago kid

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 21 July 2016 21:25 (seven years ago) link

"John Muir" is a serious standout for me

Number None, Thursday, 21 July 2016 21:48 (seven years ago) link

new vid for that btw

I can't believe how much better than Oxymoron this is, replace THat Part with the Black Hippy remix and drop the (sadly ignorable) Miguel collab and it's even better

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 31 July 2016 06:15 (seven years ago) link

amazing video

bunny slopes, Sunday, 31 July 2016 18:24 (seven years ago) link

Amazing track as well, it sits easily amongst his finest work

calzino, Sunday, 31 July 2016 18:54 (seven years ago) link

the (sadly ignorable) Miguel collab

um, album of the year?

gospodin simmel, Saturday, 12 November 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link

one year passes...

I can't believe how much better than Oxymoron this is

is it possible that oxymoron is not as bad as it seemed

j., Thursday, 1 March 2018 15:26 (six years ago) link

I like all his last 3 albums, none of them are perfect but they are still totally ace.

calzino, Thursday, 1 March 2018 15:32 (six years ago) link

blank face is kinda perfect to me

gospodin simmel, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:02 (six years ago) link

five months pass...

Was just blasting out JoHn Muir and thinking: another new Schoolboy Q alb badly needed.

calzino, Thursday, 30 August 2018 21:27 (five years ago) link

How popular is he? I really like him but I feel like he ain't talked about as much as A$AP Rocky or anyone from the mumble crew.

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 30 August 2018 21:48 (five years ago) link

two weeks pass...

that's a bit sad, can't wait for the new lp to drop tho.

new album out today--it felt like there was a weird lack of hype for this one, idk why.

mourning joe (voodoo chili), Friday, 26 April 2019 14:52 (five years ago) link

gave it a full listen this morning. feels low-stakes and fragmented compared to Blank Face. some good moments and cool production but weirdly unambitious. some grating hooks, too.

Simon H., Friday, 26 April 2019 14:57 (five years ago) link

yeah, i figured from the pre-released tracks that it wouldn't be as ambitious or eclectic as blank face, but whatever, every artist reserves the right to make minor works every once in a while.

mourning joe (voodoo chili), Friday, 26 April 2019 14:58 (five years ago) link

I don't think he's charming enough to coast through bang average material or something. what a disappointment :(

calzino, Friday, 26 April 2019 15:17 (five years ago) link

yeah, this is pretty listless, with a couple exceptions (5200, Numb Numb Juice, maybe the Cudi collab).

mourning joe (voodoo chili), Friday, 26 April 2019 15:26 (five years ago) link
