Regardless of the heartwarming reunion, it’s unlikely that Black Hippy can be reuniting on a file anytime quickly.
Again in April, ScHoolboy Q appeared on an episode of The Danny Brown Present, throughout which he was requested if he noticed himself reuniting along with his fellow Black Hippy compatriots.
“I’m not making no Black Hippy shit,” he responded. “Hell no. I’ll by no means try this shit. ”
When Danny Brown pressed, asking if he would think about doing it “for the tradition,” Q snapped again: “Fuck the tradition. Ain’t no tradition. What’s the tradition? What’s rap tradition? What’s the fucking rap tradition?”
On a extra severe word, he continued: “I believe we’re all type of on our separate paths proper now. Dot is doing his personal factor with pgLang. I’m doing my very own factor, curating a brand new artist. I did that half already, I gotta have this second half ’trigger I acquired like 18 extra albums to make.
“So it’s like I’m tryna work out this section earlier than I get to the third section. And Ab-Soul, he’s working, Jay Rock‘s working. I simply don’t see the place we’ll ever have time to.”
