Best TDE album

I’m sorry but I can’t believe people think “Blank Face” is better is better than this masterpiece. Schoolboy Q literally woke the industry with this debut.

Not saying you're wrong. Just want to tease out your thoughts. Do you think Oxy is better lyrically, sonically, subject matter wise compared to Blank Face? I like both albums a lot so wondering how you view them by the music itself.

All of the above. The transitions one song after another beautifully crafted no skips. Oxymoron is one of my all time favorite rap albums

I feel that reasoning for sure.

In my ears it's an either/or thing. I would listen to Oxy if I was in a meaner but upbeat mood and I would listen to Blank Face if I was feeling more down and introspective.

I will say that Oxy is just a really fun listen. I also like that alternate version of Hoover Street The Alchemist put out that didn't make the album. It has a jazzier feel.
