What We Learnt From ScHoolboy Q's Reddit AMA

We can expect collabs with Tyler, The Creator and Raekwon, apparently.

If you spent your Saturday evening watching teenagers dreams being repeatedly smashed in front of a baying mob of thousands on The Voice, or face-down against the side of a Night Bus, then you’ll have missed ScHoolboy Q’s AMA. Because the secondary purpose of the internet is now to report on the internet, here’s what we learnt.

EVERYTHING THAT WE’VE HEARD SO FAR IS NOT ON OXYMORON

Kanye West started it with GOOD FRIDAYS, Drake continued it with his pre-Nothing Was The Same drop off of “Girls Love Beyonce” and “The Motion”, and now ScHoolboy Q has stated that everything put out prior to Oxymoron will not feature on the record. Meaning, “Yay Yay” and “Banger” will almost definitely not be packaged with the record. However…

TWO SONGS WILL BE INCLUDED

If it’s not “Collard Greens” and “Man on The Year” then I’ll [insert laborious self-harm metaphor here].

SCHOOLBOY Q IS JUST LIKE US!

Like a socially awkward teenager, ScHoolboy Q spends the majority of his downtime playing Call of Duty and smoking weed. Team Deathmatch?

A COLLABORATIVE RECORD WITH MAC MILLER AND A$AP ROCKY COULD BE IN THE WORKS

Mac Miller, wrongly considered by many to be a frat-boy who smokes a bunch of weed and writes songs to drink out of red cups to, has put out a plethora of mixtapes. His Larry Lovestein EP delves into lounge jazz and his Delusional Thomas alter-ego is scattered with pitch-shifted vocals. The majority of projects that he’s put out in recent memory are all wildly different and hearing ScHoolboy collaborate on one of them could be a possibility. When asked who he’d like to collaborate with, Q replied: “Rocky!!! Me and Mac wanna do a alternative album but rap keeps me tied up.”

HE OWNS 300 BUCKET HATS

“How many bucket hats do you own?” asked a Reddit user, to which ScHoolboy replied, “about 300”. I’m trying to imagine where he keeps them all, maybe he’s like Tinie Tempah and has so many clothes that he keeps some at his aunts house.

THE UGLIEST RAPPER THAT HE KNOWS IS…

And… Ab-Soul without glasses.

THIS IS HIS FAVOURITE AD-LIB

Obvs, but also can totally imagine Q making his own version of this while zoning out in the middle of a Free For All session.

THE RECORD WILL FEATURE A TRACK FROM TYLER, THE CREATOR, MAYBE RAEKWON TOO

When asked about the favourite song he’s made so far, Q stated a track called “Blind Threats” which features Raekwon. The same user also asked about a track with Tyler, The Creator, that’s been rumoured for a while. Q confirmed this, typing “song wit tyler is on my album FEB. 25TH”, which makes me want to make a joke about Trap Lord being in stores now for almost five months, but TBH, everyone tired that joke out long ago.

THE BEST PERSON HE HAS EVER SMOKED WITH IS HIS MUM

Plus Snoop! Aaaaaaaaand…

THE TRACKLIST FOR OXYMORON WILL BE OUT IN A FEW DAYS

Yup. With production work from Clams Casino confirmed.
