Background[edit]

On January 21, 2014, Schoolboy Q released the 'Break the Bank', as the third official single from his major-label debut album Oxymoron.[1][2][3] It was also made available with the pre-order of the album on iTunes.[4][5] The song was recorded in 2012 around the release of Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, m.A.A.d city, being one of the older records featured on the album he raps: 'Tell Kendrick move from the throne, I came for it,' referencing Lamar's recent rise to superstardom. This was one of the first records recorded for Oxymoron.[6][7]

Composition[edit]

The song is a six-minute eerie, rattling song, produced by The Alchemist.[8] The hook which includes the line, 'so now we 'bout to break the bank, money be on my mind,' sets the tone for the song as Schoolboy Q raps about how he's earned his living.[9] He also counts the spoils of his most recent 'rap heist'.[10] The production was described as, a 'jarring blend of droning piano and old-school, truck-rattling bass' by Consequence of Sound.[11] The music was sampled from 'Something is Happening' the fifth track on Man's 1976 album The Welsh Connection.[12]

Critical reception[edit]

'Break the Bank' was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. David Jeffries of AllMusic called it an accessible highlight of the album.[13] Lizzie Plaugic of CMJ referred to the song as one of the album's essential tracks.[14] Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound named it one of the album's best tracks saying, 'The most ambitious moment on Oxymoron, is the six-minute “Break the Bank”. Produced by The Alchemist, who hasn’t had a better, higher-profile showing this decade, it’s all inchworm piano runs and vinyl crackle, taking the 'If you ain’t talking money...' cliché to new heights. The song starts as an ode to the promises of wealth. [...] It’s a wildly drunk-sounding song, but it’s all sober thinking.'[15] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard said, 'ScHoolboy Q's lock-step rhyme schemes and ping-ponging intensity -- every time you think he's about to fly off the handle, he dials his energy back down and powers up for another peak. Q is less concerned with fashioning a radio hook here than nailing the internal rhymes of the second verse, but he accomplishes his goal and then some.'[16]

Josiah Hughes of Exclaim! called it a 'hard-hitting hip-hop throwback' that puts 'the rapper's high-energy delivery on display.'[17] Maya Kalev writing for Fact praised the song's production.[18] Craig Jenkins of Pitchfork Media said the song, 'follows suit in affixing the happy ending to Oxymoron’s war stories while serving up the album’s most memorable hooks.'[19]

Complex named it the twenty-seventh best song of the first half of 2014. Angel Diaz commented saying, 'This beat is monstrous. [...] Those drums and the piano in the faint distance are just filthy. And ScHoolboy goes the fuck off on this track, making it hard to play this song only once. It's also very hard not to break your neck when this joint comes on.'[20]

Commercial performance[edit]

The week of its release, the song received numerous streams on multiple platforms. It was the most streamed song on hip hop website HipHopDX that week.[4] It was also the sixth most streamed song of the week on Spotify.[21] In its first week of availability the song debuted at number 33 on the US BillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, receiving 27,000 downloads during the week.[22]

In common parlance, to “Break the Bank” means to spend till you haven't got a dime left. On his latest feature, ScHoolboy Q uses the idiom in the exact opposite sense: once his major-label debut finally drops, the influx of currency into his account will be so massive that the vault storing his cash just might burst at the seams. Coming on the heels of the official video for Man of tHe Year, this fresh song release finds the TDE fast-riser chronicling his transformation from young hustler to budding rap superstar, and looking forward to the licit fortune he'll soon accumulate thanks to his musical talents. West Coast mainstay The Alchemist handles production, backing the Black Hippy rhymesayer's inimitably grimy flow with boom-bap percussion and tension-fraught piano loops. Feeling it? You can download Break the Bank for free with a pre-order of Oxymoron, which drops February 25, via TDE/Interscope.
