ScHoolboy Q - Blank Face LP (July 8, 2016)

Since 2011, Quincy “ScHoolboy Q” Hanley has released four full-length albums, all of which were met with varying degrees of critical acclaim. This seems downright quaint in this day and age, when rappers are more concerned with gaming streams and chasing the money by releasing as much product in as short a time period as possible, thereby increasing the likelihood that they will become irrelevant even faster than usual due to overexposure and a lack of quality control. This isn’t a concern of Quincy’s: he tends to take his time with crafting projects, and limits his own guest appearances on other people’s albums to folks he actually likes. He wants all of the money, obviously, but doesn’t want to do the chasing: he feels the money should pursue him. That’s my interpretation as to why his fourth album (and second for a major label), Blank Face LP, features seventeen tracks, but doesn’t have a deluxe edition or a Target-exclusive version with additional tracks: Q wanted to ensure that every listener had access to the same set of songs.

My Gut Reaction: ScHoolboy Q - Oxymoron (February 25, 2014), Plus Some OtHer Stuff

A fun game is to bury yourself in work, declare that said work is a “project” that needs to be completed in a timely fashion, and then you keep pushing the deadline further and further into the future as you add new work on top of said “project”. Today's post is an example of such a phenomenon, with a twist: although it will appear as though I'm adding Schoolboy Q to my list of artist catalogs I need to complete, I'm also fucking finishing it.  Today. 

Yep. You should probably get a snack.
