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
― 3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 01:47 (twelve years ago) link
i can't tell if you're talking about the schoolboy album there w/ that second line
― 3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 01:48 (twelve years ago) link
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

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

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

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.

Do you guys have any links to really good writing about anyone in black hippy? yes i've read noz in the fader
there was a twitter discussion tonite about the lack of quality writing about it & i've felt that way about it for awhile; that people seem happy that someone 'raps good' & 'has political ideaas' & it actually makes the music sound WORSE sometimes than it is, imo. like, writers are falling over themselves to make this stuff sound as woefully respectable & firm-handshake (c. ilx via rtc) as possible when the music is actually frequently pretty exciting, if a bit more mediated by kendrick's vaunted 'technique'
― google deeznuts (D-40), Tuesday, 17 July 2012 05:27 (twelve years ago) link
i can't stand KL's rhyming/delivery and find SQ deeply unlikable, which i'd be happy to write about at length is someone was paying me
― some dude, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 10:16 (twelve years ago) link
which is not really what you're looking for but i see what you mean, people that hold their particular appeal inspire some pretty surface-level praise
― some dude, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 10:17 (twelve years ago) link
i like both of them but find the praise overheated & morality-dependent
― google deeznuts (D-40), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
tbh i'm not even sure how i'd go about writing about these guys without falling into the trap you describe (which is why i haven't tried or pitched). that might indicate a flaw in what they do, everything - the beats, the rapping - is fine and often a lot more, particularly in the moment of listening, but it's some way off ~blowing my mind~. it's all, like, the #25 album on your EOY list in a mediocre year
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
but i do like them
i mean i just listened to the new kendrick single for the first time, and i listened three times and i enjoyed those all the way through? but i don't *care* about it?
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
Like I was saying on twitter, I think a most of Black Hippy's best material is the emotional stuff (with Q as the exception, his best stuff is weird techno sex raps), and I think most rap writers are more comfortable writing about the more technical or political aspects of their records. So when that kind of emotional catharsis comes wrapped up in displays of technique or a rebellious political stance, it's the latter things that end up being written about. It's like... the Ab-Soul album is my favorite rap album this year, but the best parts are the songs where he's getting all emo about his dead girlfriend, the rappity-rap shit is just a bonus.
― chain the color of am0n (The Reverend), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
for sure - "Blessed", "His Pain", and "The Book of Soul" are all pretty fantastic imo

I cannot understand why more people don't get excited about Q. He is an extraordinary talent and has produced one of the best albums of the year.

I really fucking love Habits And Contradictions. My 10 year old son loves it and so does my wife, it's so rare have an album that is loved by my whole family. When I am old and dying that will mean something to me.
