Schoolboy Q - Blue Lips (Discussion Thread)

Not really feeling this, only song i fukk wit is "Cooties" other than that i'll forget about this album

 

[Piff Perkins]

Album definitely passes the whip test. I was super curious because some of the mixing seemed weird on my first few listens at home. Thank God 4 Me gonna go insane at shows. Get that man some festival spots.

Too all over the place for me, bit of an exhausting listen

I've had a few drinks so I thought maybe it was just me but I came away with the same feeling

Not within 24 hours after the album came out. This obsessive need to compare something after one listen to an artist magnum opus isn’t the best way to consume art. IMO

Not everyone considers blankface his MO, plenty of people still hold H&C in that respect. But yes, it makes sense to compare it to the last album you liked from him. Plenty of people in here even comparing it to crash talk - the highs and lows of both albums.

Production wise this feels like leftovers from a Danny Brown session (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Will take more listens buts it's okay so far.

More than half way through out of the album and I fukk with it

I was going to make this point....this is some Danny Brown shyt with a orange hoover rag esthetic over it....I don't mind Q stepping into different lanes as a fan I mean 15 years into a career that's what you should be doin..but I just hope he sticks the landing better execution wise on the next album...some of these "songs" just sound like concepts still formulating...maybe that's the vibe he wanted but it does leave something to be desired musically

I agree with the bolded but come on man, you're doing way too much in here. It's natural to compare the new joint to the last good one. I mean what's the alternative? "Compared to the last 4 years of no music this album slaps" Please

Im hoping this more like blank face instead of crash talk

 

[The War Report]

I like all the features on the album. Gibbs killed his verse.

 

[Ribbs]

Grimy and thoughtful. Good mix of aggressive and calm.

Q cooked all over this one. Definitely going to stay in my rotation.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

This is majestic as all fukk

Schoolboy byke with that pop a wheelie music

 

[JayStarwind]

Wasn't feeling it initially because I'm used to more cohesion from Q and this album is not that but it's getting better after each listen. Some songs are too short.


Why not just put this version on the album?

If he would have made an album full of songs like
Yeern 101, Pop, oHio, and Movie I wanted to hear Gibbs spazz on the beat switch

 

[Sauce Dab]

all of his albums are over the place lol

The only one that wasnt was Blank Face but yeah all his other albums are definitely all over the place especially oxymoron

 

[Redwing80]

Playing this shyt properly in the gym. First 4 track sequence is incredible. Wish Rico Nasty wasn't on track 2 but Q has come back focused.
