Man Of the Year

Schoolboy Q is taking over the rap game. One track at a time. Oxymoron has hit the streets and everyone who's anyone has tuned in to what Mr. Q has got to say. I personally fell in love with Schoolboy in 2012 when Habits & Contridictions hit the airwaves. Even though that was a great album, it did not get the recognition it deserved. This time around Schoolboy is back with a vengeance. Schoolboy takes you through a walk in his shoes with each track. He even threw in the time when his uncle stole his cereal and Gramma couldn't do anything about it. In my calm objective opinion: This is what real rap sounds like. I could damn near see what he was describing as if I was watching a movie. Yeah he has his moments where he talks about bitches and hoes, but let's be real. What hood nigga don't have bitches and hoes? Exactly. But besides that, Q talks about things regular people can relate to: drug addiction, hustlin' to feed his family, and trying to get his life right before hustlin' leaves him with no family. Real life issues. Not to mention he has features from some of the best in the game right now: 2 Chainz, A$AP Rocky, Tyler the Creator, and we cannot forget his sweet daughter, Joy, who starts off the album saying: "Fuck rap. My daddy's a gangsta." Between Schoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar, the era of music that speaks about things that us regular folks cannot obtain nor know anything about will, hopefully, soon be a phase of the past. We love you Q and may you always remain a real nigga.
