SCHOOLBOY Q

This doesn't have draggy stretches like HnC, but the highs are a lot lower

yea the sugar free track is terrible too

few good songs here but idk i dont really get this guy

suga not sugar thx autocorrect for making me look herby

There aint no Hands on The Wheel on it but I still think it is a better album than HnC. Glad to see other people liked HnC, I always thought it was mostly reviled on here.

i didn't really like the song w/him and raekwon which seems like a massively bad sign

"collard greens" is a really underrated single imo, really fun song

It was really underrated! Pretty flawless imo, love everything about it

Yeah I still crank that one every time

A few great tracks, mostly near the beginning, but he should never ever ever attempt sex raps/content ever. Mostly I don't find him interesting enough a character to spend most of an hour+ with.

collard greens >>>>> hands on the wheel

this album is ehhalright

really don't agree with some of you people.

Listening again, but I really can`t imagine how anyone could enjoy "Studio" or "Hell of a Night." There are some half-dece tracks marred by either Q himself ("What They Want," "Oxymoron") or the guest (Tyler on "The Purge").

Hoover Street is Q's most poignant work yet, some of the imagery in there seems very personal. Kinda love it as well, the beats are alltime dark.

"Studio" is my favorite song....

this album is ehhalright

― rap steve gadd (D-40),

yeah I skip around a lot

i really can't get into this for some reason

...yeah, most of this album bores me to tears.

Haven't stopped listening to this record.

good beavis YEAHs

RED DOT, CHICKENPOX TYPE SYMPTOMS

I wasn't that into "Collard Greens" until I heard it out the other night and now I love it

It's kinda like every other SQ album in that the highs are crazy high but everything else is just ok

Hover Street
Los Awesome
Gangster

A few others but honestly I need to listen more

i like the songs i have heard on the radio from this, gotta listen to it soon

Hell of a Night is perfect in it's own goofball way.

this is sounding good.

yea i waay underrated this initially on the weakness of a few awful trax but this has several undeniable jamz

"Man of the Year" is one my singles of the year, "Studio" more problematic.

i think also i was prejeducialist to q bcuz i never thought someone rocking so many bucket hats could possibly be good

How dare you sir

tbf there were basically 20 years between EPMD and Schoolboy Q where the only rapper famous for wearing bucket hats was Tony Yayo

some dude - i'm not interesting in being fair

bucket hats are basically becoming the new trucker hat in the post-odd future/yung lean era though

Is whiney rocking one?

T/F: The best song on Oxymoron is 'Collard Greens'

(t btw; followed by Hell of a Night, Break the Bank, Los Awesome, Hoover Street, The Purge, Blind Threats, Man of the Year more or less in that order)

T/F: The best song on Oxymoron is 'Collard Greens'

― go ahead. make vid where u rap about this new TMNT movie. (forksclovetofu),

True.

Second after "Los Awesome"

One of the things I think is really cool about this album is that when it reaches for an "old school west coast" sound, its model seems to be DJ Muggs rather than Dr. Dre

Second after "Los Awesome"

^^^ agreed

though am I the only one who digs "Prescription/Oxymoron" now?

Never liked that one

"Studio" still horrific, how was "Los Awesome" not a single instead

"Studio" somehow feels longer and slower every time I hear it. Relieved that it's finally fading from radio rotation.

"Studio" is a funny song, like few rappers have ever sounded more "the label needs a single, this'll work" half-assed rapping on an R&B track, his verses all end with awkward trainwrecks, but it's still kind of hot. and went #1 a few months after he practically disowned everything radio-friendly on his album and whined that he wished he never signed with a major.

I don't think Q sounds good on it, but I don't think he's the problem, either. Every cover or mixtape freestyle I've heard of the song has been a slog, too. Something about the beat/pacing just sucks the life out of whoever is rapping over it.

I fux with "Studio". It sounds good on the radio.

Q's always done r&b tracks tho
