ScHoolboy Q - Oxymoron FULL ALBUM REACTION!!! (first time hearing)

[@joshuaedwards5778]

I hate using classic, but I think this album might be a underrated classic

[@paco1022]

collard greens and man of the year take you back for sure.

[@kobi3153]

OK Glacko What They Want as well

[@marcobazan4187]

It really is an album that defines this decade but isn’t as acclaimed as say gkmc. I agree

[@robertoramos8257]

Classic to me also

[@thegreat8662]

Absolute classic

[@oliverhed2655]

Now you HAVE to do Blank Face LP, a gansta rap magnum opus

[@auggiedoggie4968]

Nah. It may be my least favourite of his catalog!

[@JoshV_TX]

Auggie Doggie Blankface was great. Eddie Kane/Groovy Tony >>> . His last album was eh

[@auggiedoggie4968]

@@JoshV_TX It just didn't grab me like Habits or Oxy. His last two have definitely disappointed me. I'll give Blank Face another try.

[@JoshV_TX]

Auggie Doggie no I get that. I problem need to go back and listen to because I do remember fucking with it the first time I listened to it.

[@Fangot247]

Blank Face is one of my favourite albums period. So so good

[@thisisSPARTAorsprite]

Honestly my time in Highschool really was the golden era of rap Kendrick , Drake, schoolboy , acid rap, Kanye , Jcole, ASAP , Joey , Tyler. Just all dropping GEMS

[@PICKLEEEJUICE]

I wouldn’t say golden era but a good era nevertheless You missed Eminem, 50, Dre, OutKast, jay z, lil Wayne, Nas, madvillian, early Kanye’s work, Akon, etc.

[@pleasedtomakeyousmil]

Fun fact: the "whoahhhhh" you hear intermittently in the background throughout Break the Bank, for example at 20:53 and 20:15, is actually a sample from Mario Kart 64 of Toad yelling when he falls of a cliff. The Alchemist is such a sick producer.

[@smeeg848]

pleasedtomakeyousmil watched something one time where alchemist was talking about how he gets pissed at himself when he gets tired cause it means he has to stop making music and sleep, and that he often will stay up in the studio for 2 or 3 days straight just making beats, dudes an absolute legend

[@gamestation130]

[@aldenhattlestad4512]

I had no clue, that's sick

[@skelata]

Finally man, top 5 favorite albums ever, my favorite rapper from the 2010's, Oxymoron and Blank Face LP are his masterpieces.. glad you enjoyed it

[@metsglukh]

Vilim Šepl every single word you said is absolutely true

[@skelata]

Daniel Bagdasaryan hahaha I mean it's my personal preference 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm glad you agree with it

[@theoneandonly25]

CrasH Talk is pretty good too

[@Ibr_k47]

ScHoolboy Q will never top Blank Face LP. its a masterpiece.

[@remivicious]

This was when Q was at his darkest time He mentioned in an interview that he hardly even remembers recording half these songs because he was so fucked up on the drugs. You can hear if you listen to his discog that hes happier in crasH talk as he released Blank Face not for his own joy when it flopped sales wise you can hear the change up. Great artist none the less and Blank Face is a Q classic imo. Great great project if youre looking for more. Sorry about the ramble

[@remivicious]

Also talks from his personal experience considering he used to be a pimp back before music

[@gamestation130]

Remivicious Could u give me a quick breakdown of what Q is about and what order to listen to his albums in as a new listener? I don’t know a thing about him but wanna jump into his discography. Thanks buddy

[@justmyopinion1098]

Idk why schoolboy thinks Blank Face LP flopped, the album went gold and is on its way to platinum

[@skelata]

Yeah, unfortunately, even tho it's an ok album, crash talk doesn't stand a chance against his previous 3 albums.. Blank Face and Oxymoron definitely classics, H&Cs also up there.. plus he's said he's dropping another album this year

[@MrA8m]

[@cheehee808_]

Schoolboy Q has some of the best beats in the industry imo. As a former pill addict, his beats evoke the exact feelings of being f*cked up on substances perfectly

[@DOOM_glazer]

Well he was on alot of shit when making oxymoron

[@chubbypencil]

BTW the regular version of the album actually ends at Man Of The Year. the only bonus track that wasn't on the deluxe album was Yay Yay which was the promotional single

[@David-dt9en]

ChubbyPencil Good gravy was taken out as well

[@batbygobstople7210]

and Californication ft. A$AP Rocky

[@zakk2153]

You have to do Habits & Contradictions from Schoolboy Q, such a great project. Thanks for this reaction, stay safe Jon!

[@williamdevine9307]

His best album by far

[@dirtybirdxx]

When Q was hella Hungry

[@claudiagarcia_]

Yesss best album from Q !!!🔥

[@blakekirby9149]

Jon is too good. Perfect reactions to What they want and Prescription/Oxymoron. Prescription/Oxymoron is one of Q’s best. Groovy Tony/Eddie Kane is on a similar level.

[@Whooooooops]

Oh man just saw you hit 100k! Huge grats man! Been with this channel since the very first video and was with rock reacts from 10k before that. Keep it up man, always gonna support you! 🔥

[@wavychess]

I feel like Jon would love this album

[@jamesmcguire89]

Would love any FBZ

[@ezraprzytyk]

You should do Saba - Care for me. I think you'll really appreciate that album its beautiful.

[@jimmyxoo3222]

yesss!!!!

[@dylanbavan1085]

💯 one of the greatest albums of the last decade, shit hit different

[@ezraprzytyk]

Dylan Bavan i agree and very underrated. saba is just an amazing artist all around. i got to see him open up for a JID performance in montreal last year and their energy was untouchable.

[@ayedonp9484]

Care for me is good but people think it’s his best because it went semi mainstream. Check out comfortzone it’s on his soundcloud, been listening to that since 2014 and haven’t stopped since.

[@MyPimpinAfro14]

absolutely. such a smooth and calming album with excellent songwriting and storytelling

[@blasecorrea8350]

Finally, you’re getting your hands dirty Schoolboy will always be my favorite rapper, totally balanced at every aspect that makes rap so unique

[@teejayx6scammedmeilovedit448]

I'd love to see your reaction to Ab-Souls albums cos his new album is supposed to come out this year. Imo he's the best lyricist in TDE (Kendrick is better in making concept albums, but as far as pure lyricism I feel like Soulo is undefeated) I think it's good to get into his albums either in the chronological order or start with Control System, then Do What Thou Wilt, then These Days and Longterm Mentality for last. I'm telling you that you won't regret it. Still to this day I catch some bars and metaphors that went over my head before.

[@boom9661]

Kanye East man, book of soul is a great song

[@teejayx6scammedmeilovedit448]

@@boom9661 Soulo is such a genius

[@07Lmadrigal]

Yes please!!! I love Jay rock but everytime John mentions that he's the most underrated I always think of Ab-Soul... They gotta stop sleeping on him

Brandon Wells every Tyler album before flower boy is bad

[@thedonlifewithtjuan1250]

Nebiel I Wolf is a great album. Goblin definitely didn’t age well. And we wouldn’t have a Flower Boy and IGOR if it wasn’t for Cherry Bomb. I feel like that album gets a lot of hate because of a few songs.

[@therealbwells2024]

@@thedonlifewithtjuan1250 yeah, I actually like Cherry Bomb, but I definitely understand why people didn't like it, especially with the title track and its very distorted bass. But yeah, I agree with that.

back in the days, before Kendrick blew up, Jay Rock was considered the biggest black hippy member.

first TDE Member as well

[@genesisosuna]

I dont know, Kendrick was already kind of big off of singles such as ADHD and Swimming Pools, and that was 2011 and 2012. This was 2013/2014, but he "mega" blew up after To Pimp a Butterfly (rightfully so)

Prescription/Oxymoron is one of the most underrated tracks of the decade imo, Q hasn't been able to match that ambition since

Thank you jon denton for reacting to this artist 💓. Schoolboy q and the weeknd are my favorite. I hope when you have over a million followers you still comment on your fans comments. I pray you have much success. I watch all your videos. It helps me keep a balance in my life. Even tho i dont know you i can relate to you. Wish we were friends

[@Aaron-fi6sm]

You should check out Blessed by schoolboy q as well. It's not on streaming services but it's on youtube.

[@gamestation130]

Your reactions are amazing John. You’ve grown so much into your own personality recently I think and you offer such genuine reactions. You have such a good balance of breaking down bars but then also giving your interpretation of it and spinning your own thoughts but then at the same time just getting on with it and listening. Not sure how long you’ve been listening to rap but your love for hip hop just comes through so clearly and it’s so genuine and real. Keep it up man !

[@jraking2136]

You should do some Flatbush Zombies or Joey Bada$$ or anybody from the Beast Coast I feel like you would really enjoy them😎👌🏻💪🏻
