“"Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta," shouts Los Angeles rapper Schoolboy Q right off the bat, offering one more than N.W.A.'s "Gangsta Gangsta" ever did. With tough-as-nails beats (via Pharrell, Tyler the Creator and more) and boundless energy, Q's major-label debut positions him as the hardened triggerman in Kendrick Lamar's Black Hippy crew. "Fuck rap," he says, "my shit real." Truman Capote-level realn”
“L.A. rapper Schoolboy Q specializes in hairpin turns from cautionary street tales and remorseful reflection into wanton bacchanal. His Interscope debut Oxymoron is essentially a volleyball match between his warring proclivities.”

“Schoolboy Q might not be an amazing lyricist, and his new album might have a handful of filler hooks, but Oxymoron also shows him riding a variety of beats with an impressive level of precision.”
“A solid gangster rap album from ScHoolboy Q, beat selection and production is on point and Q’s distinct and harsh flow works amazingly over the west coast gangster vibes. A lot of really great and iconic hits on this album as well. Top songs for me are ‘Gangsta’ ‘Los Awesome’ ft Jay Rock ‘Collard Greens’ ft Kendrick Lamar ‘Studio’ ‘Man Of The Year’ ‘Hell Of A Night’”
“love this album, a amazing piece of music by schoolboy q, the rapping performances here are unmatched, the production is great and the lyricism is amazing too”
