ScHoolboy Q has shared a new interview with Charlamagne Tha God. The nearly-40 minute session covers the creation of his new album CrasH Talk, sobriety, and the deaths of Nipsey Hussle and Q's close friend Mac Miller. ADVERTISEMENT The death of Nipsey "fucked me up bad" Q says. "Nipsey was one of the realest niggas, bruh... one of the first niggas when my album [2011's Setbacks] dropped to tell me congratulations." The new record CrasH Talk was originally supposed to be released in November, but was pushed back after Miller's death of a drug overdose. "To this day I don't understand how I can't call my nigga no more," he says. "Losing a soul to gangbanging is way different than losing a friend that's like... an innocent kid... super pure." He did have a chance to play Miller CrasH Talk before his passing — Q says the last time they spoke, they discussed working together on a music video. ADVERTISEMENT The rapper discusses getting off codine syrup and pills to make the new album. "I woke up one morning, I was 250 pounds," he says before marveling, "How am I still here, fool?" His drug use has been longstanding, and bled into the creation of his 2014 album Oxymoron. "The whole [Oxymoron] session, nigga, I don't have one memory from that." Explaining how his drug abuse affected the title, Q says "I was a fuckin' dopehead that was telling you I sold dope. That was the oxymoron." Watch the entire interview above.<doc-sep>ScHoolboy Q is opening up like never before. While promoting his new album CrasH Talk, the TDE rapper got candid about everything from the loss of Mac Miller to the birth of his second daughter during an in-depth conversation with Lenard “CTHaGod” McKelvey aka Charlamagne tha God. For the first time, Q revealed that he welcomed a baby girl on Jan. 4. “I want all girls,” he said. “Ain’t nothing like a little girl. Since a kid, I just wanted all girls. Not on some weirdo shit, but I just love little girls.” Q, who also has a 9-year-old daughter named Joy, is looking to grow his family even more and would like a third daughter. “I just like cute little girls. They’re just precious. I just always wanted little girls and I’m getting blessed with it.” When it comes to his daughters, Q is leading by example. “When you have a daughter, you really gotta go home every day,” he said. “You gotta set the example of what type of man she needs to get. My daughter need a ni**a like me. I’m not taking nothing less.” He also got emotional while discussing the death of his friend Mac Miller. While he has shied away from speaking about Mac on social media and in interviews, Q broke down in tears during the interview. “Yeah, that Mac shit. To this day, I don’t understand how I can’t call my ni**a no more,” he said. “Losing a friend to gang-banging is way different than losing a friend that’s an innocent little kid that’s super pure.” He recalled their last conversation on FaceTime while he was in the studio. “I played him CrasH Talk before he passed,” he said. He delayed the album, which was originally due in November, because he was grieving his death. “Man, that’s my ni**a. I got memories with that ni**a, bruh. I can never write a song…” he said before walking away as he wiped away tears. During the nearly 40-minute conversation, Q also spoke about staying sober and his decision to quit drugs. “I woke up one day, bruh. I was 250 pounds,” he said. “I was drinking so much lean, I was on so many pills. How am I still here, fool?” CrasH Talk debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 81,000 equivalent album units. While Q admits sales aren’t everything, he does like to see the fruits of his labor. “I work hard, my ni**a. I sacrifice a lot. I want to see my shit go No. 1. I deserve it.”<doc-sep>
ScHoolboy Q is fresh off of the release of his latest project, CrasH Talk.He did his rare press run last month ahead of his new album but he recently caught up with Charlamagne Tha God for an in-depth conversation about his new album, the death of Mac Miller, mental health issues and much more. During Charlamagne's recent conversation with ScHoolboy Q, the rapper opened up like never before to the radio host, mainly because of the fact Charlamagne advocates for raising awareness on mental health issues. Over the 40 minute interview, ScHoolboy Q opened up about the death of Mac Miller. "Yeah, that Mac shit, bruh," Q said. "To this day, I just don't understand how I can't call my n**** no more. Losing a friend to gangbanging is way different to losing a friend that's, like, an innocent little, like, little kid that's just super pure," he added before speaking on his last conversation with Mac. Q began to doubt whether he'd include that bit in the interview after getting emotional. "I don't wanna look like I'm exploiting the situation," he said. "I got an album out and then I'm, like, crying and shit." Charlamagne comforted ScHoolboy Q before they got back into the conversation. Q then discussed Oxymoron, sobriety, and more. Q later revealed for the first time that he had a new daughter in January. "Yup, new baby. I never even spoke of that either, it was born January 4th," he said. "Little girl, I asked for it. I want all girls." Peep the full interview below.
