Schoolboy Q - “What They Want” (Feat. 2 Chainz) Video

Schoolboy Q’s great new LP Oxymoron is the #1 album in the country, but it’s also a rough and clattering rap record with precious few concessions to Q’s new Interscope overlords. Even a track that would seem to scream “next single” — like “What They Want,” which has a Mike Will Made-It beat and a 2 Chainz guest verse — comes out fractured and tense. And Q’s new video for “What They Want” fits the song’s tone. He filmed it in New Orleans, looking extremely blunted in a strip club and wandering dessicated post-Katrina wastelands and hanging out with skull-faced reapers.
