Maybe songwriting as PD mentioned, but he still has far and away more instances of that being done well than poorly. Q is great because he leaves some of the grimier shit with rough edges to keep that street feel.

Flow? S tier.
Lyricism? Wouldn't benefit his style, he's good when he's introspective and doesn't need to be rapping like Busta to become inherently better, it might even take away.
Delivery? S tier.
Hookwriting? Could be better, is not bad or mediocre in any respect currently.
Track presence/swag? S tier.
Content? Could use more variety, but it hasn't hurt his music when he has songs that talk about the same shit and they still go hard as fuck. We'll also probably see more variety now that he's changing as a person. He fulfills his niche perfectly.
Features? Fuego.

you know you're a stanley when you're saying that lyricism doesn't suit a rapper


Another failure of the American education system.
 
this kid's like double the size of young doughboy in boyz n the hood lmao.

future's great. he shouldn't be listening to either rapper though. give this brat some mini pop kids or some shit.

edit: disco the hypocrite. i listened to rap at the same age too.

Part of Q's appeal, is his vibe to a song. Gangster, hard west shit is what I expect. Or things I can turn up to. All 4 of just tracks thus far capitalize on that well.

Doesn't need a GKMC.

And what is selling well? Like Q ain't going gold or plat, ever.

What's the name of that Hemsworth mixtape everyone has been hyping?

I haven't heard anything from Hemsworth before but I need something to jam to tomorrow.

That entire festival is booty.

On Friday I'd leave after Kanye...Saturday looks mostly okay, Sunday is garbage besides Outkast. Ellie Goulding? live? Garbage

Since Enzo revived the battle rap OT we're gonna move that shit in there.

I know some of you aren't messing with battle rap, or the culture, but still I urge you to subscribe and at least peak in once in a while to read a little bit about it. Getting into it has been awesome and changed my perception of rap music itself, the culture, and the business. So come and join in. Ask for recommendations.

I only check them out whenever we have a night on Plug dedicated to rap battles, but they are always fun to watch with everyone here. I'm going to subscribe to the thread
 
J. Cole brought out Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z at his show tonight.

Damn that must've woke the crowd up.


Maybe Cole/Kendrick's project will actually come out.

Cosigned. It's really something to get into, you can't just watch one battle and understand everything, but I really think it's a worthwhile investment and tons of fun to watch.

bruhs I been doing a lot of thinking and I am convinced "Oddisee - Tangible Dream" was the album of the year..... Yeezus Was a Mortal Man is the best song I heard in a minute. Like the lyrics, the beats,.... Its what Drake should of been if somebody told him to act like a man after comeback season and while he was doing that stop all that damn singing....

Alchemist and Kendrick probably linking up in the future.

Tyga ordered to pay $200k for stolen jewelry.

Jay gave Cole his original Roc Chain. That's pretty awesome, actually. Footage of him bringing Jay out in there.

Thanks bros.

Hey SoCal brethren, what would be a better venue to see Q at, Observatory (Santa Ana) or Worldbeat Center (Balboa Park). I've never heard of the latter at all.

Tickets go on sale Friday. Not until April though.

I completely missed this. I really liked People Hear What They See, so I'll be checking this out.

Where you stay at fam? After seeing probably around 20-30 rap shows at the Observatory I can tell you now the crowd is always fucking wack. It's nothing but kids from the OC that get way too drunk too early in the night and cause drama. I can't speak on the worldbeat center as I've never been but if you live closer to San Diego I suggest going there.

If they're equal distance Worldbeat @ Balboa Park, easy. Stage puts him practically with the crowd. Can get some of that flab sweat up close and personal.

If it's a long drive down though it might not be worth it unless you make a day out of it. You're closer to Observatory right?
