To Buy Into The Memes, Or Not? (SchoolBoy Q's New Album Cover Says "Buy In")
Sigh. I'm not even sure what to say at this point. I think the memes have gotten the best of us, people. I mean using the crying face Jordan as a joke here and there, okay, but as a fucking album cover for your next project? To define your next album by putting the picture above as your album cover? It makes no sense to me.
If this is your first time seeing the above picture, then get used to seeing it, because this is the album cover for Schoolboy Q's forthcoming album Blank Face, which is due out on July 8th. Blank Face is preceded by it's first 2 singles, "Groovy Tony" and "THat Part" featuring Kanye West. I must say taking advantage of a meme that has taken over the entire internet can either be something that REALLYY hurts you, or REALLYY helps you, let's hope for Q's sake that it's the latter. Use the crying face Jordan for good Q, maybe something useful will come out of it. If only. Check out the music videos for Schoolboy's first 2 singles below.

*Update*
Turns out Schoolboy Q was just trolling people with the announcement of the crying Jordan cover. You can see the real cover below.
