Rapping technique

[edit]

In an interview withComplexmagazine,he stated he "got [my rhyme-style] from Jay-Z. If you really listen to Jay-Z, he has a new sound every time he raps. It's never the same. He might use a little swag, but it's always like a differentflow.So that's all I try to do. "[68]He says he chooses to not always do the traditional style of rapping, having no restrictions when he raps: "But at the same time, it's just a feeling I can't really explain. You got to be wiser to stay on the track, but there's no rules. When you start rapping with rules, it's when you start sounding boring. You may hear me fuck with my voice, you may hear me do a two-bar pause, you may hear me do an odd 33 bars instead of 30. Give you 14 bars instead of 16."[68]Schoolboy Q has said: "what I get from 50 [Cent] is a lot of aggression", in a 2012 interview, adding "he basically birthed my whole style".[72]Schoolboy Q has been called very versatile with his rapping, as proven on his albumsSetbacksandHabits & Contradictions.Writer Rebecca Haithcoat articulated the rapper's aesthetic circa 2012, around the time of the release of the albumSetbacks:"His style had begun to take shape, with his penchant for stretching vowels likeSilly Puttyor slurring a word and then snapping back into double time.
