SCHOOLBOY Q DÉJÀ À LA MOITIÉ DE SON NOUVEL ALBUM !

Très bonne nouvelle, alors qu’on était habitué à un rythme d’un album tous les deux ans, ScHoolboy Q semble plus inspiré que jamais et va peut-être nous sortir un nouvel album dès cette année, vu la qualité de chacune de ses sorties et l’excellent Blank Face LP, on est pour !

Sortant à peine du studio, il est passé chez Zane Lowe donner quelques news, plusieurs infos, en résumé :

– Il annonce donc avoir déjà enregistré la moitié de son album et être plus inspiré que jamais :

“I just left the studio like 3 hours ago, I’m 12 hours a day right now. I’m hard in it right now. I’m halfway done with it already. I’ve never been this inspired this soon. As soon as I got off tour, I was inspired. I was even inspired on tour. I brought a little studio set up for the bus and laid ideas down, came back and finished them off.”

– Il va nous raconter sa vie après le succès, l’album sera moins focalisé sur sa facette gangster mais plus sur le père et l’artiste heureux et accompli :

“This is more so my life after I made it to the point of ScHoolboy Q, I gave you me on past projects, but I never gave you the other side of me, the father, the dude that’s actually happy, the dude that doesn’t be in the hood just hanging out, the dude that’s trying to put his homies in position now.
I’m not a deadbeat father anymore, I’m in my daughter’s life. She lives with me, I’m in actively, I pick her up, take her to school every morning. It’s just a whole different Q. I want to give people a whole different side of me.
It’s hard for me to really talk about my street side. Don’t get me wrong. I’m gonna always have that aspect of my music, but not so much how I used to be where I was just straight street, street, street, street…It’s a little different.”

– Il n’ira pas aux Grammys parce qu’il sait qu’il ne gagnera pas parce que sa musique est trop street :

“You see the type of rappers they put in the Grammys, they don’t put rappers like me. With me just being nominated, I won…You see Chance, Kanye, Drake, De La Soul. None of them are street rappers. Rap music came from the streets. Not knocking them. I love Chance’s music. I love Drake’s music. I love Kanye’s music. I’m a fan. But they never want to acknowledge that other part. The fact that 50 Cent, Snoop, Nas, none of these guys ever won a Grammy, 2Pac didn’t win a Grammy, Biggie never won a Grammy. Why the artists like us never win the Grammy?
We never get to walk up there and grab that Grammy, everybody else do it, people that’s nice, people that’s kid-friendly music. You gotta have this whole little smiling thing about you. You gotta show up everywhere and shake hands and everybody gotta love you. What about the music though? What about the life? We are putting our life in our records.
I’m not a suit type of person. I’m not like a mingling…The smiling [expletive]… Nah, I don’t wanna do that. I made it here without doing that and I’ma stay doing me.”
