11/30/2022 0 Comments Schoolboy q crash talk zip![]() If “Numb Numb Juice” is the eagerly taken shots of Henny then “Drunk” is the inebriated ex-boyfriend/girlfriend call at 3 a.m. It’s the short and sweetly sinister “Numb Numb Juice” that keeps the album from flat-lining before it even really begins. Then there’s the second single “CHopstix” with Travis Scott which looks good on paper (especially with Jake One and DJ Dahi on the beat) but turns out to be a half-baked, cookie-cutter radio hopeful with a bland chorus. “Tales” nonchalantly details the trials of his past and present hood endeavors (a story we’ve heard from Quincy many times before). DJ Flu and J-Bo deliver a heavy-duty beat on which Q pleasantly raps a “whole lotta fucking gang shit” but from there the tracklist quickly unwinds. The 14-track album opens with “Gang Gang” which, for all intents and purposes, bangs pretty damn hard. Naturally, the hype and lofty expectations surrounding this album need to be taken into consideration but even still, Q’s zany aggression and heartfelt ghetto gospels are shells of themselves. In fact, for the past seven years, the “Q” could have stood for quality but that module has taken a detour this time around.ĬrasH Talk, Q’s fifth official album, doesn’t quite hit the creative, catchy or Crip-tastic pinnacles his previous projects effortlessly hurdled. The proud Hoover Street Crip waited nearly three years to drop a follow up to Blank Face LP which would seem to be a non-issue given Q’s impressive consistency across only a small handful of projects. The Spurs have won five NBA championships and TDE has just as many classic albums thanks to their quality over quantity model especially when it comes to star player ScHoolboy Q. Both are terrifyingly tactical entities that don’t move without careful consideration and laser precision. It’s becoming clear that the Top Dawg Entertainment may be the San Antonio Spurs of Hip Hop. ![]()
