He nails a perfect first line on his albums

This rap s*** done saved my life - and f***ed it up at the same time

I’m sweating like I’m in a rave; been in this room for three days, I think I’m hearing voices

Colder than the grits they fed slaves; me to rap is like water to raves

My homie a magician with the tec, make your chain disappear and reappear on his neck

Just instantly hooks you in and sets the tone and expectations for what the album is gonna be. His craft is insane

Finally listening to this, saved it until it got dark out and I could get some drink.

First song is crazy good, might be tied favourite Danny opener with Downward Spiral

Jean's Terrific Vacation into Down Wit It is peak music

The production, flow and tone of Celibate feels so similar to Mac Miller & Mike Jones - Uber

I haven’t listened yet but does pitchfork hate all rap music nowadays? they gave this album the lowest score he ever got

How did he kill the vibe?

Damn that album was way more beautiful than I expected. Only parts that took me out of that experience was Bruiser Wolf (just didn't like his voice) and literally the last 2 seconds of the album with the "Quaranta" voice and really quick awkward fade out. Last song had me floating until that happened

STH is barely a Danny album and I’m a huge fan lol

well yeah, there's no jpegmafia on here to ruin this

It’s crazy how well he managed to recapture the vibe of XXX, just, evolved.

After back-to-back trips through XXX and Quaranta, albums sharing your perspective on life around 30 and 40, I’m curious what you’re going to be doing on the 50 and 60 albums. You could have a Redd Foxx, Rudy Ray Moore kind of career if you wanted.

I feel like Quaranta is pretty much the part two to XXX, and it’s the end of the book. I’m moving on to something else now. I feel like I’ve made these kinds of albums for a minute, but I’m at a happier place in life. I want to make music that reflects that now. I didn’t understand the power of that emotional s***. People would hit me up about certain songs, like, “That s*** really helped me.” I’d be like, “Damn, I was f***ed-up, and that was a sad song.” I just want to make music to make people happy now. I’m on that art imitates life. I’m not saying it ain’t going to be bars, because that’s what’s always going to be there. It irks me when I see an artist that never grows and continuously makes the same song and sticks to that. I almost feel like I’m being scammed. Me and Peggy had this joke while making the Scaring the Hoes album. A lot of these rappers are like Fortnite. We’re the f***ing Dark Souls of the s***. You gotta be listening to hip-hop for a long time to fully really understand this s***. You gotta be a professional

Great interview btw

Not a knock against the album or songs in any way, but Dark Sword Angel is the only one that gives me strong XXX vibes

I feel like the rest is half UKWIS vibes, and half a totally new vibe for him

Bass Jam is something else man, got me teary eyed

It’s mad similar I wonder 🤔

STH overproduced

Boldy James shoulda been on featured here man

He also from the D, and imagine what he’d sound like on Celibate or Shakedown

Boldy on Celibate would be f***ing insane

Thank god MIKE went as hard as he did

He hadn't barred up like he did on Dark Sword Angel since XXX.

Just blacked the f*** out for no reason.

Two different generations of Detroit, two of the best

Wonder if we’ll get a follow up record sooner given how long this has apparently been done.

Witit

To

Down wit it

Might need to listen to xxx and this back to back

I love Danny Brown

Damn this was an emotional listen

he said 3 albums this year but I wouldnt keep my hopes up
