    Danny Brown – Old (2013)

    1. Side A [Old]: 6/10. Referencing the “old” Danny Brown, but the progression is so interesting. Cutty reference Easter egg. 2. The Return: 6/10. Dark and haunting. Fitting to have Freddie Gibbs on a song about being gangster. 3. 25 Bucks: 7/10. The beat is so full and encompassing. Love the story. 4. Wonderbread: 6/10.…

    Danny Brown – XXX (Deluxe) (2011)

    Conscious choice to skip “Hawaiian Snow” as I am skipping collab albums. 1. XXX: 6/10. We’re back to excitable Danny. Some fun references. 2. Die Like a Rockstart: 7/10. Loving the haunting/spooky beat. Great lyrics for the concept. 3. Pac Blood: 5/10. Chorus references are hilarious. 4. Radio Song: 5/10. Great message and play on…

    Danny Brown – Browntown (2010)

    Conscious decision to skip “It’s A Art” and “Black and Brown!” as I am skipping collab albums. 1. Save My People: 6/10. Kind of a shout-out track. Chill vibes. 2. Track 03 (Cocaine Cowboy): 6/10. Same song from DSOM2, same rating. 3. Broke $#!T: 5/10. Same song from DSOM, same rating. 4. Demons and Angels:…

    Danny Brown – The Hybrid (2010)

    1. Greatest Rapper Ever: 5/10. Alright intro for the debut album. Showing some aggression and funny lyrics. 2. Need Another Drink: 4/10. Not a fan of this beat. Don’t like how he flows on it. 3. New Era: 6/10. Love the beat. Feels anthemic, but a little long. 4. Exotic: 4/10. Didn’t mind the feature.…

    Danny Brown – The Hybrid Cutting Room Floor (2010)

    I unfortunately fell back into my old habits and got overwhelmed from the thought of listening to the new album, Stardust, so I paused listening to music again. 1. 8 Mile: 6/10. Very chill but feels very intro. Makes me wonder how the rest will proceed. 2. Jus Chill: 7/10. Love the beat. Almost a…

    Danny Brown – Detroit State of Mind 4 (2010)

    1. D-Boyz: 5/10. Danny sonically sounds so different compared to features. I didn’t find this as hard as I was expecting. 2. Keeps It 100: 4/10. Not a fan of the effect/echo/layering on the voices. The hook is a little too busy for me with the angelic sounds in the back. Trick Trick’s verse wasnt…

    Danny Brown – Detroit State of Mind 3 (2009)

    1. Intro: 6/10. Great hype opening, anthemic beat. Can feel his flow is becoming his own style. 2. Way It Goes: 7/10. Head bobbing track. Loving his life story pieces. 3. Sittin’ So High: 6/10. Same track from Hot Soup, same rating. 4. Get The Message: 4/10. Something about the mixing on this one, doesn’t…

    Danny Brown – Detroit State of Mind 2 (2008)

    1. Last Donut: 5/10. Great flow to start off the tape. 2. Mash: 5/10. Amazing lyrics and flow on this one. Beat a little out of sync for me. He’s still talking about his cutty, which feels like an easter egg at this point, it’s been 3 mixtapes. 3. Cocaine Cowboy: 6/10. Hilarious lyrics on…

    Danny Brown – Hot Soup (2008)

    1. Intro – no rating 2. Dance: 7/10. Love this vibe, fun lyrics again. Definitely feels like a production upgrade already. 3. What up Doe: 7/10. “Matter fact popped Prince way I smoke purple.” Some hilarious lyrics. Love the beat on the verses, wish it had some hard bass on the hook. 4. Ten G’s…

    Danny Brown – Detroit State of Mind (2007)

    1. Intro: No rating – skit. 2. Get Down: 4/10. I know the beat of this. Seems so tame to the Danny I know. 3. Broadcaster: 6/10. Hard cadence, great lyrical content. 4. Don’t Give A: 5/10. First showing of his versatility. Giving bling era (which is my favourite). 5. It’s a Discription: 6/10. The…
