Peter A. Berry

Back at it with Peter A. Berry, writer and editor at large who has bylines in XXL, COMPLEX, Pitchfork, Okayplayer and more. We talk about how we connected via my reaction to an Uncle Murda video clip that Peter put a wild spin on and how it lead to this unique episode diving into one album that has made a significant impact this year already which is Schoolboy Q's 'Blue Lips.' We expand on Peter's review of 'Blue Lips' for Stereogum and the singular themes that show up on the project (that typically don't show up on rap albums). We break down what makes it special on several levels; whether or not the lack of an anthemic single matters, and Peter flexes his basketball-stat expertise to make a case for how Q is the rapgame Jimmy Buckets. We also get into how Q is a weirdo in the best way possible and why an album of this caliber is a biproduct of time in the game without becoming a crotchety old man.
