ScHoolboy Q Speaks on Top Dawg And Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Lack Of Albums

SZA has released three albums in the last eight years. When Kendrick Lamar was on TDE, he also went years between albums.

Some folks attribute this lack of production to TDE boss Top Dawg, who can be a bit of a perfectionist.

TDE rapper ScHoolBoy Q pushed back on that in an interview with the 4HUNNID Podcast and said the real issue is with the rappers.

Schoolboy Q dispels rumors that Top Dawg is responsible for the infrequent album releases of Kendrick Lamar and SZA.

“I’ma be honest, that’s us. You think Top is telling Kendrick and SZA you can only drop one album in five years? Two of the biggest artists? He ain’t gonna get no chicken," he said. “I think we just cuckoo in the head, bro. We all got similarities and it shows.[Isaiah Rashad didn’t drop in five years, I didn’t drop in five years, SZA didn’t drop in five years, Dot didn’t drop in five years, it done hit five for Jay Rock. We have something in common and it’s not Top. I don’t see how he gains anything from doing that.”
