Schoolboy Q - Oxymoron: The official discussion thread

[Kdot]

do people not realize this is still a concept album, Q said it was going to basically be a history lesson in Gangster Rap from the late 70's to now. Just look at the songs and you can tell what era of rap they're emulating. They all are modern sounding, but are definitely representing different era's.

Gangsta (representation of the whole album, not any particular era)
Los Awesome (late 70's/early 80's)
Collard Greens (mid 80's)
What They Want (every two tracks he throws in a modern sounding track to balance it out)
Hoover Street (late 80's/early 90's)
Studio (early/mid 90's)
Prescription-Oxymoron (interlude, similar to Gangsta as a representation of the album)
The Purge (mid 90's, hence the Kurupt feature)
Blind Threats (mid/late 90's, hence the Raekwon Da Chef feature)
Hell Of A Night (another every two tracks modern song like What They Want and the intro and interlude)
Break The Bank (late 90's/early 00's)
Man Of The Year (mid 00's)

the rest are part of the deluxe and shyt and seem more like they just add the vibe of the album rather than the concept, Gangsta rap kind of ended with 'The Massacre', so the mid 00's is a good place to end the concept.

I wouldn't call this shyt a reach since Q said it himself.

we still getting two-three more bonus tracks

Yup

Well there is Yay yay which im sure everyone got and Californication will drop anytime.

I reckon there will be another bonus track too. Personally i added Banger (Mosh Pit) on my copy, it fits the mood of the album in my opinion
