I also liked this a lot better than Schoolboy Q's last, although some of the beats on Habits and Contradictions are pretty damn awesome (ala hands on the wheel). I haven't really been too impressed with what I've heard from Kendrick but I've never delved too deeply into his stuff, any recomendations for a good album to start with? Are Section.80 and Overly Dedicated his only full albums?
Regarding Control System, I agree in a sense that there's not a lot new but it does seem like he has the potential to grow in the future, Pineal Gland is a fairly unique, orignal track imo. Terrorist Threats is also great, reminded me a little bit of Public Enemy in some ways. Like you said though (Sparky) the feel of the album is really awesome, I think that's what got me excited in the first place but after a few more listens I'm a little less impressed by each track itself. Still my favorite Black Hippy release so far though.
