    The Sex Obsessed, Weed Smoker Himself, Released This Album. That Seemed To Be The Theme Throughout the whole album, and I can't say I'm a huge fan of it. The title of the project is 'Habits & Contradictions' so before i listened to this album I thought the theme would be about his or someone Habits & Contradictions. But when i listened to it, It did not seem like that, I mean Q seems toThe Sex Obsessed, Weed Smoker Himself, Released This Album.

But when i listened to it, It did not seem like that, I mean Q seems to have a made a some sort of an attempt at addressing those habits, but instead he just sounds excited at all the "Habits". Another thing that I don't really care for about the album is that, the only thing that's mainly talked about is Sex and Weed, which I never really mind that a rapper talks about sometimes because that's just part of being a rapper, but when it's the main to only thing you talk about, It kind of just gets boring and repetitive. And that applies too alot of things, If an album was talking about one person for the most part, it can get kind of boring. But there were still some good tracks on this album, the production overall was alright, lyricism was decent in some places, features were pretty good too, It's just that 75% of the songs failed to really interest me. My Favourite Tracks Were: 'My Homie', 'Blessed', and '2 Raw'… Expand

    Q's energetic, exuberant delivery is frames by some impressive and varied production throughout. [Jun 2012, p.108]

    Habits & Contradictions is less like a label-released full-length and more like an amateurish mixtape, a work in progress.

    Habits & Contradictions is a pleasurable listen with head-scratchingly pretty samplings and lyrics more or less liberated from value care of Q's devotion to "weed and brews" and the delirious enjoyment of something so simple as saying "fuck" a lot.
