| Mac Miller a.k.a. Larry Dollaz & Schoolboy Q – PlaneCarBoat | September 6, 2012 |
Max Bell’s rap name was the Ancient Senator. Probably not. My pants stop sagging in the early-aughts. I realized I was never going to be a rapper and my mother breathed a sigh of relief. Now I write about rap music. Let’s just say her anxiety about my future is higher. I wonder how Schoolboy’s […]
| Skeme & Schoolboy Q: Adults With Guns | August 29, 2012 |
Skeme and Schoolboy Q: two dudes so far removed from reading blogs that they obviously had no clue that The Gorillaz had a huge hit with the same song title. To be fair, they did add a “Z” for a double dozage of pimping. The combo of the Black Hippie and the Inglewood gangsta rapper […]
| Schoolboy Q Just Wants to Party All the Time | August 20, 2012 |
Slava P wrote this while sipping Cabernet out of a Stanley Cup. As part of TDE appreciation week, Schoolboy Q released a new, Kenny Beats-produced track titled simply, “Party.” Now, if I showed up to a party and saw someone who resembled Schoolboy Q posted up against the wall, I would show myself out faster […]
There’s a variety of ways to evaluate rap music. You can break it down based on beat, flows, lyrics,or quality of engineering. You can measure it strictly on whether bangs in your car or not. Or you can get abstract and try to postulate about how much it contributes to the evolution of the genre. […]
Two words: egads. Harry Fraud figures out a way to make even Deen like 2Chainz. Schoolboy Q rhymes Monster Kody with Kony. Woop Woop ad-libs. Domo and Smoke DZA make the case that they are twins, separated at birth. After all, Harry Fraud did make “New York Minute” as did the Olsons. This song is […]
| Ballin’ on a Budget: Schoolboy Q – “Nightmare on Figg St.” | January 27, 2012 |
“The landlord turn your lieutenant into a tenant/and if your rims spinning/your jaws dented.” That barely makes sense and it’s the hardest thing since MC Ren. Sorry Mos Def (uh Yitzhak Bey), this is the diametrical opposite of “Niggas in Paris.” I would be cool with hearing it eight times consecutively at the next Black […]
| Video: Schoolboy Q ft. A$AP Rocky – “Hands on the Wheel” | January 20, 2012 |
Before someone makes the Ice Cube comparisons, understand that Schoolboy Q has never listened to an O’ Shea album straight through. His favorite rapper is Nas, which makes no sense until you actually think about it. If A$AP Rocky is remembered for nothing else: let him be known for being the one to bring Stussy […]
| Quincy, 2012: Schoolboy Q’s “Habits & Contradictions” | January 17, 2012 |
The secret’s been out on Schoolboy Q since he stole the show on LIVELOVEA$AP. So there was a certain futility in playing the “first” game when he dropped Habits & Contradictions over the weekend. After all, what’s special about a rapper like Schoolboy is that he makes you realize how stupid it is to try […]
| You Already Know, Schoolboy Q | December 15, 2011 |
You already know Q has bread, hits, swag, smokes weed, pops tags and jumps in the pool. So I need not explain. The Black Hippy Hoover is nothing if not self-aware. The radar on this clocks 96 MPH. If you hadn’t noticed, Q has entered the mandatory posting point. Download: MP3: Schoolboy Q-“Niggahs Already Know”
| The New Curriculum of Schoolboy Q | November 30, 2011 |
Schoolboy Q has been dropping nothing but snarling bouncy drug raps since at least January, and since I am a man who enjoys a good snarling bouncy drug rap (and the drugs that accompany it), I have pretty much been downloading all of it and not sharing because I am a selfish soul who is […]
