Listen to ScHoolboyQ's 10 essential songs (critic's picks)
The opener for Q’s 2011 debut albumfinds the rapper reflecting on the inner workings of Figueroa Street, the L.A. strip he calls home. Rapid-fire verses about the liquor stores and laundromats accompanied by the old drunks and sex workers roaming Figueroa are draped over a smooth jazz-inspired production by LordQuest. According to Q, when it comes to legal and illegal hustling, no one tops the residents of Figueroa Street.
On “Oxymoron,” Q flips the script: he is now selling the drugs that he abused on the previous song. The song takes on a darker vibe as he makes it clear that he’s experienced in this line of work. The track ends with Q feeling like the world is delusional when it comes to drugs so he’ll keep on trapping out of his Nissan. The overall message becomes clear: whether you take them or sell them, drugs offer nothing but a dark path.
The summer of 2016 became one of Q’s biggest when he aligned himself with Kanye West for the booming record “THat Part.” On the track, Q and Ye boast about their cars, women and respective statuses as living legends. “THat Part” placed Q in elite company, as he earned himself a Grammy nomination for best rap performance in 2017.For this celebratory cut, ScHoolboy Q revels in his newfound fame: bottles are being popped and the girls are surrounding Q at every turn.
