Schoolboy Q’s Take on Rapper Safety in Los Angeles

In a recent episode of Drink Champs, N.O.R.E. broached the topic with Schoolboy Q, asking whether he views Los Angeles as one of the most perilous places for rappers. The response was candid and insightful.

The TDE artist comprehended the gravity of the question, attributing the danger to the prevalent practice of “checking in” with individuals.

“Absolutely,” he affirmed. “Because, I mean, everybody be checking in. That’s y’all favorite thing to do: check in with somebody that’s gon’ rob your stupid ass.

“You think that guy that you don’t know muthafucka in California got your back? The guy that got beef with other hoods and all this, you checking in to that dude?

“Bro, just go to the hotel, get you something to eat, go back to the hotel, go have some fun where shit is fun. Why do you wanna go over there? For what?

“Don’t call me. Muthafuckas be having the nerve to call me sometimes. What are you talking about, bruh? I’m playing video games. My daughter got a soccer game tomorrow, bro.”

He further emphasized, “Grow the fuck up. I’m not about to drive over here to Beverly Hills and drop you off an ounce of weed, cuh.”

In essence, Schoolboy Q’s perspective sheds light on the risky dynamics at play for rappers navigating the streets of Los Angeles.
