As previously documented, the formula for ScHoolboy Q videos seems to be pretty straightforward: dark, cloudy visuals abound, with vibe and atmosphere favored over technical trickery. The clip for Q’s menacing “NigHtmare on Figg St.” follows in the same vein, with the understated visuals adequately capturing the raw gullyness of the track. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes music videos are elaborate. Other times, they’re comprised of drinking OE forties and breaking down an ounce of popcorn with some ladies, then edited accordingly. In the case of this freshly-cut visual to ScHoolboy Q’s and A$AP’s exceptional “Hands On The Wheel,” there obviously wasn’t a budget for lowriders or shutting down any streets Read the rest of this entry »

“Wait hold up
Back up in this motherf*ckin’ b*tch once again

Don’t let your logical reasoning trick your brain into thinking that gangstas don’t have a soft spot for a 5’2″ fair-skinned stallion that smells like she knows all of Victoria’s secrets.

A cult rapper if you will. Well, that went out the window and now Schoolboy Q, a man with an equally unique mic presence, is at bat and dropping the (presumably) final, K. Dot-featured single entitled, “Blessed,” Read the rest of this entry »

Think again if you’re expecting another ignorant weed anthem from the always Green Peace supporting ScHoolboy Q. “Sacrilegious” is a record that travels quite the different road than what we’re used to from the TDE rapper. It’s a dark, twisted song that explores unrelenting paranoia, betrayal and retaliation that’s sure to incite a good amount of fear with each pound of the bass. Read the rest of this entry »

If you couldn’t control yourself last night and the side effects are still lingering, you may want to hold off on watching Schoolboy Q’s kaleidoscopic video for his anthem of inebriation, “To THa Beat (F’d Up).” Directed by Jerome D. and featuring half of your favorite rappers, the visual finds the Top Dawg Ent. crew letting loose in what appears to be a Hollywood Hills highrise, and does an excellent job of giving life to the spacey feeling the Setbacks single omitted initially.

Following Jay Rock home may not be a good idea if the idea of a thug’s life frightenens you. If you’re scared of the otherside of the track, the fabulous life of money, hoes and crimson clothes await you. Ever seen a snapper that comes back to you no matter which way you throw it out? What about a click of homies that can actually rap and keep the gat on them at all times? Read the rest of this entry »
