Yea just push the album back a bit more

Nah, just not my style. You're saying Q after several pushbacks, no cosigns or truly successful tours, and with no single will outsell Dierks Bentley, a guy whose last album went gold three times over, and The Fray who've gone plat several times before. Im right, you're wrong.

If it's so free, then you might as well do it amirite.

But they are succeeding. They are talked about by most all bloggers, internet music sites, and without releasing any major project were still talk of the rap industry. Why all the gloom and doom? Its as if you are going out of your way to project their demise only to say "told yall so".

What moves could have they have really made short of Kendrick releasing a follow up that would have done better for them? People who loved Kendrick might check out Q but the majority won't. That's not on TDE, that's just how the industry works. Again unless he releases a super cross over hit.

I realize the rest of the label won't reach Kendrick level but even ASAP Mob has had success outside of Rocky. Ferg had a couple noteworthy singles that get heavy club play, for instance. When I look at the singles Q has released, they don't even sound like major label releases. They're mixtapes records. Hence why I wondered why they don't get a Mustard beat, or go to Mike Will, etc.

I don't expect TDE to outsell Young Money, I just feel like they can be doing better. Bloggers love them sure, but bombing on Interscope is a blueprint on how to get dropped from a label...

Talking about no promotion, I would love to see album art at least.

Supposed to come this week (or within the month) with the track list.

 

[Cheddahz]

I went ahead and made Schoolboy Q an album cover, since he hasn't released one (or hasn't made one) yet

 

[Esch]

damn. that makes me feel better about my GIMP skills. gotta use the intelligent/scissors/wand edge fitter dude.

Queen Latifah says that Outkast is working on something, I need a better source.

It only makes sense. They got to be making new music, the tour is just to get their name back out there.


Hopefully this is their album they wanted to call '10 The Hard Way' where its getting back to mostly rap music.

If Q does six figure sales... Id be so happy. He had my AOTY last year. I wish the singles had clicked more with me, but I still think Oxy will be dope af.

Well we know it will have weak drums regardless.

Maybe he bought some new sample packs with that cash from his album sales.......................

Bruh that was almost two years ago. Like a another week or so.

Currently playing the best Yeezus ripoff track you'll ever hear in PLUG.DJ

 

[CountBlack]

Some dude I've never heard of called Kid Ink just sold 50K first week.

If his unknown ass can do it, Q should be able to do 80-100K at least.

Not his fault, Q's lazy punk ass backed out concerts with Cudi, which probably hurt his pockets a bit.

If you don't think Cudi could help Q craft an awesome second single you've fucking lost it...And I'm not even a huge fan

Nah, there's the one Alchemist song, which is probably what we should be worried about sucking the most.

Maybe like, MOTM 1&2 Cudi... not Indicud cudi. I could barely remember the name of the album let alone a track of that piece of shit. I had to google "kid cudi album" to figure it out.

Plenty of catchy tracks on Indicud. Haim one in particular comes to mind.

Man of the Year is a good ass song tho

Damn, it must suck being Qs daughter. That girl prolly got a face shaped like a football

 

[Snuggles]

I don't really care for any of the Oxy Q singles so far. I wanna hear something with the laid back vibe of My Hatin Join or There He Go. That's when he fits the best. The Oxy singles have all been mostly boring attempts at club bangers, which I can dig when they work but I don't think they do with those beats and his lethargic delivery.

I agree with you, Q is aiming for a lane he doesn't belong in

 

[Tokubetsu]

I know this is mainly for me and tguy but still. Really looking forward to Don Trip's "Randy Savage" tape which drops on the 24th. Wasn't a big fan but most of the quotable from Step Bros 2 that I can think of are from him. Looking forward to this one.

I think the beats Q picks fit him better than Kendrick or Soul on their beats, tbh. He matches his beats pretty damn well.

To be fair, Kendrick's flow is garbage on 80% of his songs.

There's a few pretty hype tracks on that Waka tape from last year.

Can't wait till he does a project with the right EDM producer. Based on flow alone he's
my fave rapper right now.

I can understand criticizing Kendrick, but seriously? Seriously? Flow is the last thing anyone can criticize Kendrick for. And he's constantly getting better.

Lonk?

 

[Esch]

Toku is just being toku of course, but a lot of people had issues with Kendrick's off beat flow. It's the reason lots of people weren't really fuckin with him until after s80. He's much more orthodox now, and his flows pretty dope as a result. Unlike ab soul, who's deteriorated verbally more in a short period of time than any artist I've seen in my life.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Even during that Section 80 run people were still criticizing his flow which I personally never understood because he sounds great on that album.

 

[Cudder]

I wonder if Kendricks second album will be better than Section 80..

Nah. Probably not.
