Well maybe they do but Q insists on it so aggressively that these days I can hardly seem to touch her.

Somebody needs to have girlfriends. Or else Schoolboy Q wouldn't have anything to rap about.

there's a bit of a "it feels like a bag of sand when you're touching it" to kendrick

2 Chainz turned cuckolding into hip hop's new national obsession

Yeah, that's gotta be part of it. DJP, that Ying Yang song is, like, comically over-the-top. It's like death metal lyrics, but about a vagina. It might make me be a little "whoa there", but I actually find it way easier to digest than the BH stuff in the vein of what longneck's talking about. You feel like Q cares more about the fact that the girl is taken already than that her ass is hot.

72 hours seems like an awful long time even if you're really into it so that line is a little confusing to me

yeah i think for a lot of these rappers it's not that they're having sex with a girl but that they're having sex with YOUR girl, which is a) a dominance alpha-male thing, i.e., i'm so sexually desirable that your girl wants me more than she wants you but also b) really insecure, like you have to have girls who already are taken wanting to fuck you too? are you that in-se-cuuurr about your masculinity that you must encroach on the partners of other guys? that's supreme douche move there...

Well, 2 Chainz sounds as if he's having fun when he's taking advantage of my girl. Q is just doing it to be nasty.

Schoolboy Q is def some of the most unpleasant and joyless 'smart' 'good' rap i've ever heard, can't stand that guy
― Victory Goon (some dude), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 22:56 (eleven years ago) link
Part of the problem for me, I think, is the sheen of "realness" or no-bullshit-ness or kind of endearing honesty that the crew can exude (something that, I'd wager, also is a factor in people throwing out the "backpacker" thing in relation to them, just like upthread). The problem is, if you buy into that as being part of where they're coming from, when faced with stuff like Q's other-dudes'-girls obsession, you have no choice but to admit that the person in question is actually just, well, kind of a fucking prick.

"joyless" is a good way to put it. There's a sort of surgical, pathological detachment in the way he describes his sexual exploits that goes beyond joyless and into the realm of creepy for me.
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 30 October 2012 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
Q is pretty goofy a lot of the time tho! I mean, if you're listening to "Druggy's With Hoes Again" and going omg so serious I think you need to take a step back for a second.
― thraeds of life (The Reverend), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 23:13 (eleven years ago) link

I don't mind Druggys Wit Hoes, really, but that detachedness is there in full force. You get the sense that sex doesn't really make him exuberantly happy, that it's not a life-affirming thing for him. Coochie anhedonia.

whiney 242k was always a lot of records - if you think there was this "if it didn't go gold it doesn't count" mentality in the 70s you're wrong. there was a brief overinflated blip around the Nirvana boom when people started talking like anything under a million didn't count but those people were morons, if you scan 242k at any time in the soundscan era then you have sold a fuckin lotta records

yeah i mean the fact that he sold 20% as many units as Taylor Swift last week is pretty remarkable for almost anyone besides Taylor Swift, especially a rap album and especially a debut album

whiney, it's the best first-week sales since Eminem in 2002, and anyone who considered Em's an anomaly then was inured by Backstreet Boys-Nsync.
