Ballin’ on a Budget: Schoolboy Q – “Nightmare on Figg St.”

“The landlord turn your lieutenant into a tenant/and if your rims spinning/your jaws dented.” That barely makes sense and it’s the hardest thing since MC Ren.

School Boy Q ft Ab-Soul “Druggys Wit Hoes” (Official Video) from Ramses Perryman on Vimeo. The official video drops for one of my favorite songs of last month. Compton rappers finally expanding beyond the G-Funk/Aftermath gangsta rap cliches. No skinny jeans either. Ask Curren$y, smoldering stoner rap is the new riding with that K. You… Continue reading »

Schoolboy Q, throwing his hat in the ring as an early contender for song title of the year. Making up for the fact that his name involves the word “Schoolboy.” Download: MP3: Schoolboy Q ft. Ab-Soul-”Druggy’s Wit Ho’s”
