In a game with a billion generic voices.. it's refreshing. He also does it from the heart, so it doesn't sound too forced at all...basically, he pulls it off.

I like it, Danny Brown is one of my favorites doing it now.

I'm just sayin' ... for the casual viewer, I get it. I played XXX in the whip and all my homies (some hip hop heads, some more mainstream listenin' people) all were like :huhldup:

I tried to make it through XXX multiple times but couldn't.

He did on the other hand absolutely destroy "Terrorist Threats"

if you listen to XXX (the song) and Die like a rockstar and think he doesn't have bars maybe you just dont like rap...i can DEFINITELY see you not liking his voice though

Danny Brown - 30 - YouTube

This is the appeal. You have a guy spitting some heartfelt rhymes, with a unique flow, unique voice switches, and creating an insanely dark atmosphere. He throws some pretty cool jokes in there to lighten the mood as well.

Excuse me while I get my rhymeking on

Sent ya bytch a dikk pic and now she need glasses
Turn your bytch Slick Rick right now if I flashed it
Ate a couple pills took the bud out the plastic
Flicking bogey ashes bytch I stay blasted
Microphone Cassius, magic with the sick shyt
'posed to been dead but bytch I’m still up in this bytch
Verbal herbal poison, words I contortion
fukked a pregnant bytch, save money on her abortion
I feel like Billy Corgan in a church playing organ
Covering Too Short, smoking a Newport
Hurt hope the drugs will help the pain to go away
But all these thoughts up in my head made the sane go astray
Step inside a mind that revolves around the rhyme
And every time he close his eyes see visions of white lines
Dying in the arms of a blond blue eyed 20 something
Don’t know her name but the paramedics chest pumping
30 something black male OD'ed off of pills
That he wasn’t prescribed but they took his life
Let behind a daughter that doesn’t really even know him
Cause her momma thought he wouldn’t make a living off them poems
But it was a long journey on a rocky road
Had a hoody and a jacket on the bus in snow
Walking in the cold on the way to the studio
Smoking on a loosey that was just a couple years ago
Dropped a couple free mixtapes on the net
And nikkas tried to front like it wasn’t all that
But guess what bytch I’m coming back
Guess what bytch I’m coming back
Signed to Fool's Gold and everything’s all gnarly
bytches want my number just to get up in party
Came along way from extension cords in the window
Borrowing neighbors power just to plug up the Nintendo
Where the ovens never closed and stoves never off
Every winter so cold nikkas sleeping wearing scarves
But I would always tell myself that it's gone get better
You know who you is, you the greatest rapper ever
So now the pressures on 'em to prove that voice right
Some people never know they goals he know his whole life
So now his turn up fixing up to bat
Pitching singles to the label when I use to pitch crack
Never learned to rap I just always knew how
So ever since 8 I knew what I would now
When I turned 28 they like what you gone do now
And now a nikka 30 I don’t think you heard me
So the last ten years I been so fukking stressed
Tears in my eyes let me get this off my chest
The thought of no success it got me chasing death
Doing all these drugs in hopes of OD’ing next, Triple X


He doesn't have bars? There are little to no wasted lines on this song, while telling a complete story and still keeping the multis up. If you don't feel this song on some type of level man, what can I say?:manny: When was the last time you heard the pain in someone's voice like that? Go back and look at his old videos and you can see how real this dude is.
^^^^^
My first time listening to a full Danny brown song

I wasn't feelin it at first cause of the annoying voice...then that nikka switched it up :ohhh: ,that was pretty cool..

Dudes tight tho

Danny brown is dope as fukk but I understand if you can't get into him. His voice/delivery is unconventional.

if you not into detroit/street/underground to commercial based horrorcore.

danny brown, may not work for you.

i like king gordy but him and danny brown.

are not accessible to people who are not into horrorcore past of even the most accessible gangsta variety.

i recommend van dyke and harper for people looking for a detroit streetbased gangsta rapper of crack selling variety content wise.

as that is the only gordy or horrorcore detroit street rap accessible record for mainstream listeners.

danny brown is for people who appreciate non conformity.

coupled with his hood intelligence and his ability to still relate to a common man, simply shining through all his zany labryniths.

most people who listen to rap as gateway fans are not that evolved for danny.

when danny is a good gateway rapper for a little more edge street and horrorcore wise.

danny is like what 2chains could be.

if he was capable of going there and above what is expected of him in a mainstream context,..but way better.

danny won't conform to the mainstream production either.

pkus he can carry records.

whereas a regular mainstream hopeful is all biter and production to get a rise out of you.


art barr

art.........when i can understand what your saying you be speaking the truth and be on point :myman:
