"QBC Stomach" has a video now, three months after the album it comes from. qbc bklyn queenz day a joint record credited to qb rap p and bash came out in the middle of August: fourteen tracks, most of them produced by Rap P himself, skits placed between the songs like a tape rather than an album. The track is number three, and the album version runs four twelve against the video's three. The hook does the work and it's a good one: "Eyes be too big for they stomach." Rap P takes the idiom about ordering more than you can eat and points it at rappers who have taken on more than they can carry "Rap cats don't keep it a hundred," over and over, until it stops being a boast and starts being an indictment. The second half of the verse turns reflective: "I left the childish games alone and start living / I put down the drugs … Invested in property, conscious decisions. / I love hip hop but the love is missing." That last line is the one worth sitting with, because it's the only moment where the record stops prosecuting other people and admits something. Rap P's delivery is clipped and conversational, and he's working in the register where the point is the argument rather than the flow. No director credit is listed for the video. Rap P records out of New York, and this is a solid entry point to an album that didn't get much of a press cycle in August.
