ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron is slated to be the next release from Top Dawg Entertainment’s camp.
Following up Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A..A.d city is no easy task. However the Black Hippy emcee believes he’s up to the task.
“It’ll probably be out in a few months,” said Q to MTV News. “We gon’ get these singles right, get ’em together and place everything in order. Then we gon’ get it crackin’ from there. I haven’t leaked a record yet, so I don’t wanna say too much yet until I leak the record. But Oxymoron is definitely coming this year and we gon’ have some fun.”
ScHoolboy Q explained that he essentially played it close to the vest in terms of collaborations. “I worked with Pharrell on the album, I worked with Kendrick on the album, you know, like the homies, A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown,” he said. “I just kept it real in house with my homies. This my first album; it’s real special to me. I don’t wanna be messing with this dude, with this dude, this dude. It’s all in house, it’s the same Q. Like the fans, I’mma give ’em what they want.”
Q elaborated, explaining that the lyricists he grew up listening to inspired him. “We caught that era in the ’90s where people was rapping like Jay, Big Pun, Big L, Pac, Biggie, we was there in that era, so we like heard a lot of that stuff. We just studied the game. Like, I’m 26 years old — I can’t be out there rapping no weak stuff. I gotta go out there and be serious. You gotta paint that picture, you gotta see the music. We actually see the music like paintings and pictures, like for real, not just saying that. When a beat come on, it’s like a color in your head and it’s like a movie or some shit, a camera just guiding you through what you need to say. That’s just how it is.”

great news, Q never disappoints
he be lucky to sell 10k
U got no knowledge
His album wont sell….He looks too scary and too “black” for white people. Kendrick has that nerdy, hipster, appeal that makes white people comfortable enough to buy his record. Maybe if it was late 90’s, early 2000’s it would sell, but these new kids are different. Jay Rock will flop too.
Cosign!!!
You kinda have a point but album sales don’t really mean shit. Every artist has their fanbase whether it’s 50k or a million. I’d rather have 50k real fans than a million people who bought the album off hype.
na…
theres white kids always trying to black
it will get sales
but not close to Good Kid Mad city
he’s still underground
so u cant really compare sales
Jay Rock already put out his debut way before Kendrick. You’re late as fuck lmao.
Nah’s post was so full of shit, dude has no idea what he’s talking about. And no, Q is not underground WTF?? He’s signed with TDE, Aftermath, and Interscope you idiot.
as far as i’m concerned i’m pretty fucking white and i’ve been down with Q for years
man im a whiteboy and black hippy is my shit, though i guess im not the typical white boy
FIG GET THA MONEY YEAH, FIG GET THA MONEY YEAH

schoolboy bout to sell out
everytime, EVERYTIME, a new rapper starts to get a little appeal or about to release their major label debut, idiots like you say that stupid shit.. how about you wait and hear the damn album before you start making stupid assumptions?.. remember everyone was complaining about kendrick selling out before his album even came out, now look at it.. gkmc is one of the most critically and commercially successful albums out right now, and kendrick didn’t compromise himself.. so again, wait until the album is out and decide for yourself..
with out a black hippy album there not hip hop
Lame ass hipster faggot
FIIIIIIG SIIIIIIIDE
and yes this album is gonna sell…just like section 80, habits & contradictions, control system and good kid maad city, ya bish
