SCHOOLBOY Q - OXYMORON (REVIEW)
THE LONG AWAITED AND MUCH ANTICIPATED FOLLOW UP TO HIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED, "HABITS AND CONTRADICTIONS: IS FINALLY HERE.
OXYMORON IS THE MAJOR LABEL BIG BROTHER (VERSION) OF "HABITS". WITH ALMOST TWO YEARS TO WORK ON THIS PROJECT SCHOOLBOY COMES WITH THE HEAT AT US THIS LATE WINTER.
BY TEASING US WITH A FEW TRACKS THE LAST YEAR OR SO HE KEPT US FIENDING LIKE SOME OXY ADDICTS FOR THE NEXT FIX. SOME OF IT WERE GOOD AND SOME WERE UGH. YOU KNOW HOW THESE THINGS GO.
WITH A MUSIC INDUSTRY THAT IS ON ITS LAST WHEELS, SCHOOLBOY Q, TDE AND INTERSCOPE GIVES US OXYMORON.
OXYMORON STARTS OFF WITH THE BRAGGADOCIOS "GANGSTA" WITH AN ANGRY QUINCY HUMMING COMING ATCHA WITH ALL ANGER AND SPITS OVER A MID TEMPO BOUNCY ASS BEAT. THIS ALREADY SETS THE TONE FOR A GREAT RIDE IN THE WHIP THOUGH THE EYES OF QUINCY, LAID BACK.
PHARRELL WILLIAMS THE MAN OF THE MOMENT AND GRAMMY NOMINATED PRODUCER OF THE YEAR CONCOCTS THE BOOZY NOISY AND RIOT INCITING "LOS AWESOME" ALSO FEATURING JAY ROCK.

THE BEST BEAT/SONG MUST BE THE KENDRICK LAMAR FEATURED COLLARD GREENS. IT IS JUST CRAZY/LOCO. IT IS LIKE WHEN JONAH HILL MASTURBATED WHEN HE SAW NAOMI THE FIRST TIME. SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU SAW R.KELLY LICKING THAT GIRLS BUTT. BOUNCY BOUNCY BOUNCY. KENDRICK KILLS THE TRACK. HE KILLS THE TRACK HE REALLY SHOWS HERE WHY HE IS ONE OF THE BEST. VERSATILE MC THAT HE IS.
I JUST LOVE THIS TRACK MAN. YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO. I ACTUALLY DON'T LIKE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I PLAYED IT SO MUCH.
MIKE WILL, SURFACES WITH THE SINISTER, "WHAT THEY WANT" FEATURING 2 CHAINZ. ONE THING YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS ALBUM WAS NOT PROMOTED BY IT'S FEATURES. QUINCY CAN HOLD HIS OWN. HIS PREVIOUS ALBUM WAS HIGHLY RATED AND ADMIRED.
"HOOVER STREET" STARTS OFF LIKE A JAM SESSION WITH SOME LIVE DRUMS ETC AND THEN FLIPS INTO A FULL ON NEW SONG. " ... GOT ROACHES IN MY CEREAL MY UNCLE STOLE MY STEREO ...."
ANOTHER EXCELLENT BEAT/SONG MUST BE THE GENIUS OF A TRACK CALLED, 'PRESCRIPTION/OXYMORON" PRODUCED BY SOUNWAVE. SHEER BRILLIANCE OVER HERE. IT IS SPLIT N TWO LIKE "MURDER 2 EXCELLENCE" IT ALSO FEATURES QUINCY'S DAUGHTER DOING SOME TALKING. HIS DAUGHTER IS ALSO ON THE COVER OF THIS ALBUM AND ON THE 'GANGSTA'. THIS TRACK IS REAL REAL REAL DOPE. PRODUCTION IS TOP NOTCH EXCELENTE. THE "OXYMORON" PART OF "PRESCRIPTION/OXYMORON" HAS A MORE TRAP BEAT FEEL TO IT. IT WORKS. I HATE TRAP BEATS.
"THE PURGE" FEATURES TYLER THE CREATOR AND KURUPT. WITH TYLER ON BEAT DUTY. ONCE YOU HEAR THE BEAT YOU WILL KNOW IT IS A TYLER BEAT. OFF CENTRE. JUST BEATS AND SNARE AND QUIRKY SAMPLES IN THE HOOK. IT WORKS. DO YO THINK IT CAN WORK FOR YOU? WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT RAP? BEATS IS GOOD IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO LISTEN TO. IS YOU MAD? OR IS YOU A DOO DOO CHASER?
SHOUTOUTS TO TORONTO.
RAEKWON MAKES AN APPEARANCE ON "BLIND THREATS"
DJ DAHI COOKS UP THE LOVELY "HELL OF A NIGHT"
the alchemist cooks up "break the bank"
nez & rio cooked up "man of the year"
OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO TRACKS WERE RELEASED AND I WAS NOT REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ALBUM. BUT NOW THAT IT IS HERE I ENJOY IT. I LIKE IT. I WOULD BUMP IT. MAYBE NOT A CLASSIC. BUT IT IS WORTH THE MONEY.
