Actually it's awesome, yeah
I just pray that "grown up" isn't the lyrical template for this album

I'll reserve judgment until I hear the finished track

I'm kinda scared that Old won't even touch XXSince that mixtape I've been mostly underwhelmed/disappointed by his tracks/guest spots
― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 20 March 2013 03:52 (thirteen years ago)
yeah i'm not too sure about this

I like it, the beat reminds me of Ayo Technology.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 20 March 2013 05:20 (thirteen years ago)
mmmm. i may need another listen.

somehow i completely missed Hottest MC when it came out; it took Spin's list of the 40 best songs of the year so far for me to find it
now i can't stop listening to it:

can someone tell me the name of the This Heat song is that's apparently sampled here, according to Spin?
― alpine static, Thursday, 30 May 2013 04:37 (thirteen years ago)
the big sample there is not this heat but vangelis (more precisely, aphrodite's child)
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Thursday, 30 May 2013 19:19 (thirteen years ago)
yeah This Heat was sampled on "Adderall Admiral" on XXX

loving Old (late to the game, I know). the second half is crazy. love the reappropriation of "Da Dip" in 'Dip'.

Anyone managed to get a copy of the 4xLP LE for Old? Amazon has it listed as backordered :(

Should I go and see him? Always a bit wary of live hip hop...

this should be good. i find his 'trad' rap stuff kinda dull for the most part.

Looking forward to the new one, Old has become a slow burn favourite of mine.

I loved "When It Rains."

going to see him tonight!

Ooh, and it's already on Spotify, thank god

it's uh, also on tidal

"tell me what i don't know" is stunning
like the more natural delivery, his really antic, hyper voice wears on me
― Pull your head on out your hippy haze (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 19:54 (nine years ago)
tbh hoping for the antic wild stuff live, though
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 19:55 (nine years ago)
M@tt otm, best when he finds the balance between the two voices. May be why I still prefer The Hybrid to anything else he's released since.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 20:04 (nine years ago)
gripes about the voice aside...man...this album is really something huh?
― Pull your head on out your hippy haze (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 20:44 (nine years ago)
this has been a problem for me from day one. love everything about Danny except those songs.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 21:11 (nine years ago)
imo the "natural voice" stuff is mostly a framing device for the "here comes danny brown!" moment when the lyrics fall back into the depression/paranoia.... drugs/pussy/no sleep/AHHHH lyrical breakdown
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 21:19 (nine years ago)
Today has some 'Kast BOB flow/cadence going
― Spottie, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 22:21 (nine years ago)
album kinda dropped off in the middle but the ends are great
ungh I think the openers have short sets so they threw a really perfunctory dj out. maybe should have shown up later -- I usually like to see openers but this is padding wtf
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 01:42 (nine years ago)
first thoughts are all "omg this the best shit ever" hyperbole. it's obv not perfect but i don't see my opinion dropping much!
i can see some of the backlash coming already - look, he made an artsy noisy obtuse album for ppl who don't like street rap/ppl who dont like popular rap/hipsters/insert strawman here - but every indication of his personality makes me feel like he made exactly what he wanted to make, and hear.
(overwrought metaphor coming) it feels like distorted sonar dispatches from someone traveling through the inside of his head. (overwrought metaphor that i nonetheless believe complete)
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 03:50 (nine years ago)
only getting to listen to this in small chunks but it's great so far. i don't always like Paul White's production but it works for a cohesive sound across the whole thing (the beat on 'Pneumonia' though, i'd be ok if Evian Christ did every track).
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Friday, 30 September 2016 15:03 (nine years ago)

really excited that paul white is back producing on at least some of the new one. tbd which tracks, but i'd bet that's him on the first released tune "tantor." either way it's fantastic. can't wait for the rest.

genius video, banger track
― assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 20 November 2023 03:32 (two years ago)
loving this - feels like it has more variety & space than the last couple might be down to the two distinct voices he uses & how on some of these tracks he has simplified his rhyming to i guess suit the primal grunt of the emotions he was experiencing some of that stuff reminds of scarface love ypb / jenns terrific etc but the whole thing i think is gold
― Hinklepicker, Monday, 20 November 2023 07:23 (two years ago)
it never would have occurred to me that he would be the perfect host for a spin on Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

supposedly gonna have features from jane remover, frost children, underscores, quadeca, etc
― gestures broadly at...everything (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 23 September 2025 15:14 (eight months ago)
So almost every track credits such a collaborator! "Copycats" (with Underscores), now on Bandcamp, is a bit less interesting than that title track, to my ears.

Arriving to the venue and thinking “is this the right show?” because the audience skewed pretty young. sign of a robust fanbase.
remembered I’m the same age as Danny Brown and felt centered
