I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t really impressed with Earl’s
previous album, Doris. This one is much darker and it fits his raw rhyme style.
The song Grief seems to set the tone for the whole album. Fishy n**gas stink,
they eatin off of hooks” is just one of the many clever lines off this album.
The album is pretty short, at only 30 minutes, but honestly its great. The
beats are the weak point but they’re not bad. I was a little surprised this
album was so good due to the lack of guests. It’s a win.
Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93
