Schoolboy Q - Oxymoron: The official discussion thread

[DaveyDave]

why were cats expecting GKMC Pt 2?

there was never anything that would make you think it was a concept album, Q is not the same type of rapper as Kendrick.

Not even that but his talent level (lyrically) is not even up to par with Kendrick. That's why I when cats are saying the bars are ass and what not.

if another member gets close to GKMC (not saying they will) it would be Soul or Isaiah Rashad.

Gangsta

Yeah expectations were bat shyt crazy for this album. The thirst was real for this one!!

Q didn't help by saying my shyt was better than Kendrick's album.

Of course that's Q just talking out of his ass like he always does.

Yeah that was just q being q,feeling himself
But those who truly followed him knew what to expect. So far it's been what I expected Maybe I was expecting a stronger 1st half but the album gets stronger as you go on.

Yeah the second half is fire.

i personally like The Purge for some reason. That joint seems to be getting a lot of flack.

I guess not

 

[Animal House]

Damn that Kdot track made the cut but he canned the 50 feature??
And 2 Chainz was the epitome of struggle bars. Dope album tho, nikkaz were really expecting some classic work huh?
Cant wait for the bonus tracks so i can cut and paste this shyt

 

[Billy Ocean]

Damn @SoulController officially NOT giving a co-sign to one of the most anticipated albums of the year, that features a Wu member? This doesn't bode well, I haven't listened yet but this would be like if @Billy Ocean or @Illeye buckmatic said an album was wack. Should I delete this off my iPhone before I subject my ears to audio disappointment?

Lol. I haven't heard it yet. I'm gonna give it a full listen later today and give my input, Zig

I don't think people were literally expecting GKMC 2 (anybody with a brain anyway) I just think people were anticipating an above average project from a talented rapper who is part of the biggest current movement representing west coast Hip Hop. This was Q's moment to shine and really show everyone that TDE isn't Kendrick Lamar & Friends. Q did himself no favors by saying this album would surpass GKMC either. Like I said, not a horrible album, but nothing earth shattering either. Will be forgotten about in a couple weeks

There is nothing wrong with this album. Nothing mindblowing but not bad.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I have to let this marinate some more... I only listened once. Off 1 listen I thought it was hit or miss.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Haven't heard it yet. Sadly a lot of comments in here have turned me off. I went on youtube to listen to that neptunes produced song and was H&C was meh to me.

Kendrick set the bar high. But his project was guided by Dr. Dre. who was the executive producer for this album? Was Dre involved?
