Schoolboy Q: "I Don't Wanna Relate To Kids At 37 Years Old"

[murksiderock]

His reasoning makes sense but he also isn't rapping much different than he was 12-13 years ago, if you've followed his career. I guess the difference is sure, he's not actively looking to demo like he's a younger rapper...

 

[I'm Blackman]

I agree.....


....puts common album back on

 

[bordeaux]

“Marijuana, hydro, p*ssy, ho, ass, titties”

 

[Sad Bunny]

Drake could never.

 

[African Peasant]

“Marijuana, hydro, p*ssy, ho, ass, titties”

such a kiddie topic

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

tbh this kinda varies

like the shyt i related to/liked as a teen was not adults rapping about teen shyt. they were rapping about adult shyt

yeah i see this as a point of confusion with consumers who got turnt out early on the explicit entertainment. like chris brown for example, when he sings about sex a lot of people like to say he's being immature or whatever. nah nikka you just burnt out lol. that's mature content

So why you name your schoolboy Dumbass?!??

He's right.

He spoke about this recently in an interview too, saying too many rappers who are damn near 40, are trying to sound like 19-24 year old rappers. And it's true. Too many old dudes are trying to act like kids, when they should be leading and being way more innovative.

I was at the barbershop a couple weeks back, and they had Spotify on shuffle and a Benny the Butcher track came on, and dude was flowing like Ice Spice and the whole shop was cracking up. If you're older, act your age. Ageism isn't just older rappers being judged for being older. It's also older rappers trying to act like the younger ones and looking and sounding stupid as f*ck. Be yourself!

Blue lips is his current life ? Also a 37 year old actively promoting gang life and violence even in his tweets .

It is actually.

Bro's on the album talking about not living in the hood anymore, spending more time at home, and taking his daughters to soccer and sh*t like that. He talks about how mass shootings need to stop and how he keeps his kids at home because of what he saw when he was a kid. The album is about wanting to get away from street sh*t and focusing on mental health and dealing with the trauma of losing people to prison and death. Whole sh*t is easily his most introspective.

You’re gonna have to post that song here, cause I’ve never heard a Benny song close to that

He does that sh*t on a million songs, lol.

You know that flow I'm taking about. Nas got caught up in doing it too. There's a name for it but I forgot what it's called.
