Schoolboy Q – “THat Part (Black Hippy Remix)” (Feat. Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, & Ab-Soul)
Today, Schoolboy Q releases his long-awaited Blank Face LP album, and it’s good. It’s really fucking good. It’s a jarring, ferocious, paranoid G-rap album with the same sort of cohesive, sonically expansive intensity that Q’s friend Kendrick Lamar brings to his own albums. And today, Q has shared something else: A remix of “THat Part,” his Kanye West collab, that features fellow Black Hippy members Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul. It’s the first time all four Black Hippy members have been on a song together since Jay Rock’s “Vice City” last year. And all four of them absolutely come off. But the remix, and even the entire album, could be overwhelmed by a few lines that Q spits on the remix: “Gangbanging like we stand for something when Alton Sterling getting killed for nothing / Two cowards in the car, they just there to film / Saying Black Lives Matter, should’ve died with him.” So. Yeah. Whoa. Listen to the remix below, and, while you’re at it, stream the entire album via Spotify.
Blank Face LP is out now on TDE/Interscope.
