By 2016, anything associated with the Top Dawg Entertainment/Black Hippy crew was considered "highly anticipated" by the hip-hop faithful, but no one in the posse had come close to the crossover success of superstar MC Kendrick Lamar. Team member Schoolboy Q was the crown prince, although his mix of gangsta rap and left-field production had failed to make him a household name, something The Blank Face LP holds dear. This sprawling, cumbersome, and often psychedelic effort feels like a glorious clearing house for the diverse and deep rapper, offering giant, cinematic, and challenging efforts like the Anderson Paak-featuring title track and the opening epic, "Torch," then shifting gear and getting flippant with oddball throwaways like the ultra-nasty "Studio" sequel called "Overtime." "Overtime" at least goes off-the-charts, sounding as if R&B porno artist Blowfly was mimicking R. Kelly's or guest vocalist Miguel's sexy styles, and while the beat Tyler, the Creator crafts for "Big Body" could be his silliest to date, Tha Dogg Pound still act if it's prime strip club stuff, and it's as fascinating to hear as it is odd. If "By Any Means" sounds like an important anthem for a year when race relations are at a new low, it begins "You can f**k my b*tch/You can have my ho" and goes more gutter from there, and while that makes it arguably disposable compared to the proud anthem "Ride Out" or the wonderful rumination called "Kno You Wrong," this 17-track, almost-mixtape is no slog on first listen. Fully-formed stunners like the Jadakiss feature "Groovy Tony/Eddie Kane" and "Tookie Knows II" are cold-blooded classics, and even if return visits require some dropped cuts, there's an awesome, tight album hiding inside this set of tracks, a set where the B-sides sneak in. As a release born firmly in the age of streaming, playlists, and The Life of Pablo, it's a sprawling album to argue about and examine. In Schoolboy Q's discography, it's the experimental LP with an attitude, and a giant Magical Mystery Tour that will dazzle his fans. ~ David Jeffries

商品の紹介

2016年7月にリリースされたLAサウス・セントラル育ちの新世代MC、Schoolboy Qの新アルバムがLPで登場!
発売・販売元 提供資料(2016/10/20)

Spin - "BLANK FACE highlights a charismatic street survivor and boasts production that's easily among the year's best -- the doomsday brass on the Vince Staples-assisted 'Ride Out' and the stardusted catharsis of 'Black THougHts,' for starters." Entertainment Weekly - "[W]ith an impressive range of sonic and lyrical styles and numerous highlights, BLANK FACE LP stands as one of 2016's most engaging rap projects." -- Grade: B+ Pitchfork (Website) - "Q's unpredictable flow, as likely to morph into a bizarrely appealing sing-song melody as it is to shift to sneering double-time, has returned. With it comes a collection of catchy, urgent gangster rap songs..."

メジャーからは2作目となるスクールボーイQの新作は、前作『Oxymoron』に比べ、より私小説的にかつスリリングに〈ストリートの内側〉を描き出す。2パックに敬意を払いつつ〈リッチなクリップス(所属ギャングの名称)はスヌープ・ドッグだけじゃないんだぜ〉と息巻く"Str8 Ballin"など、ギャングスタMCとして凄みを感じさせるラインが各所にてんこ盛り。カニエのトリッキーなフロウが話題になったシングル"THat Part"やアンダーソン・パークを迎えた表題曲など、サウンドの核を担うのは所属レーベル=TDEのインハウス・プロデューサーであるサウンウェイヴ。プロデューサーとして一部にケンドリック・ラマーが参加している他、スウィズ・ビーツやアルケミスト、そしてタイラー・ザ・クリエイターらもトラック面で手腕を発揮。加えて、ヴィンス・ステイプルズやジェイダキスといた辣腕ラッパーに、E-40やドッグ・パウンドらヴェテラン勢らまでもが加勢して、よりリアルなストリート絵巻を紡ぎ上げている。
