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

[maxamusa]

I love how Q don't give a fukk......every interview or time I hear him speak he sounds like he's just being real.


I wasn't feeling the new album; might need to give it another shot

Its called branding ( with a pinch of autism ). Hence the reason you can say he capitalizes his H. Nevertheless, he sees music as an evolving expression of ideas and lived experiences. There is time, effort that goes into that craft which he hopes speaks beyond the superficial. There's a reason Taylor Swift, Arianna, One Direction Trap Rappers etc are seen as bland. Its churning music accesisble to the largest possible demogragphic with zero substance. Artists dedicated to their craft grow and create material to reflect this and it goes beyond sonic diffrences. If the subject of Album 1 and 7 are the same, your shyt is stale and tired. Which Q is right to feel.

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

something something “the culture” something something “keeping it real” something

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!

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

Yea... Bro gonna have to bring forensic evidence for that statement.
We ain't letting that slide

[KnickstapeCity]

That dude is one annoying son of a bytch fakkit




Just go play golf and shut the fukk up, fakkit

 

[boogers]

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.

i know you didnt mean to, but thank you for actually answering my question

anybody fw his Blue Lips album? just copped it off soulseek

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

That's irrelevant howabout make an album like blank face again and everyone will fukk with it

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Realistically nothing he’s doing at this point is going to attract new listeners, whether they’re 14 or 41…and has nothing to do with the “maturity” of his content (if generic OG gangbanger cliches is what we’re calling maturity)…he has what’s remaining of his peak fanbase, and they’ll rock with him for another project or so until he starts a podcast to gossip about random bullshyt like every other washed rapper

 

[Big Boss]

I'm in my late 30s and tbh, half the ish that was playing in the clubs 20 years ago like the Lil John, East Side Boys, Lil Scrappy ish... back then it brought me energy, but now? I kinda feel how my parent's likely felt back then overhearing that ignorant ish

So whatever it is kids are on these days, i don't judge it because we were listening to our share of dumb shyt in our hey day (amidst the wholesome and conscous stuff). But yea, i can empathize with Schoolboy Q's point because trying to channel yourself into the 2024 version of that type, when you're 10-15+ years removed from that.. just may not feel authentic for an artist.
