PLAYAZ GANG WYA?!?

[@fckle2225]

this is a little personal but one of the things i love most about danny brown is the way he's one of the most outspoken allys of the lgbt community in rap. as a queer rap fan i find myself feeling ostracized a lot of the time from homophobia and transphobia that a lot of rappers possess, but danny is one of the few who really make me feel like i have a place in this community so i love him for that ❤

[@BalloonSeasonArchive]

him & Peggy been on dat gay shit fr 🙏 Vince Staples and Kenny Beats are also great w that and take the rest of this w a bit of caution cus idk for sure for every individual person but odd future obviously, tde, dreamville and griselda are also all great collectives of lgbtq allies and fantastic artists

[@fckle2225]

@@BalloonSeasonArchive hate to ruin it for you but westside gunn is transphobic :/ He tweeted this just a few months ago: "On another note, Kanye West is a genius/.🐐U don’t know wtf he going thru Hollywood is a sick place. I prayed for him last night he lost his mom and now his kids have to call their Grandfather ‘GrandMa’ but that’s not krazy huh?" it sucks cause i love gunn so much but i just have to accept shit like this as a fan of the genre. I will say though from what ive seen of the griselda community they seem cool as hell and ive seen very little homophobia/transphobia and have seen more support than a lot of rap communities which is awesome.

[@BalloonSeasonArchive]

@@fckle2225 Jay Versace is openly gay so theres that for Griselda but damn that Gunn shit is corny af i didn’t know abt it. it’s crazy too cus like A. of all people to be transphobic about it’s like the most famous trans person??? but B. she’s also a horrible person 😭 so it’s like i get the lack of respect but it shouldn’t be on the basis of her being trans. I also don’t think he would be incapable of change, and maybe thats copium but again he is surrounded on all sides within a lot of the rap circles he’s in by people who are trans allies so i’m curious at the least to see his potential development because his music is fantastic.

[@gunnar4915]

@@fckle2225Yeah that’s a big problem in low income communities(transphobia in general) bc of the medical process the transition requires it’s not as common place for the low income population. So many kids will grow up with misjudgments and stereotypes that the person has to either try to shake, or learn the truth through life experiences(Kendrick Lamar’s Auntie Diaries is a perfect example of this) So the best thing we can do is show the real side of LGBTQ community, voice your opinion like yourself and share your story, it may not open everyone’s eyes but helping one person realize that their idea of the LGBTQ is wrong, is a huge step forward imo

[@BalloonSeasonArchive]

@@fckle2225 i just looked into it a bit the wsg shit was three years ago. that doesn’t mean he’s learned, or maybe he just learned to shut up.. but Lil B used to b transphobic and has since went on to become a very significant trans ally in hip hop, that is to say it’s certainly not impossible for wsg to grow as a person from then but also not who knows. I think Freddie Gibbs is still transphobic probably. Maybe all bald people,have like a mushroom-esque brain web cus Dave Chappell really was out of his bag on that shit that he like quadrupled down on 😭

[@mangofarm123]

One of the greatest hip-hop albums ever, so overlooked. Used to listen to it a lot when I was stuck in the grips of active addiction. Captures the craziness and insanity so well.

[@shaanraval5374]

Dive into the lyrics even more when y’all have a chance. All of Dance in the water is actually a metaphor disguised as a twerk anthem. It’s not him encouraging a girl, rather it’s his conscious under the influence encouraging him to push himself to the max. If you notice, he never actually mentions a woman or anything sexual. Just lyrics that could easily be interpreted as a twerk anthem. Essentially, It’s his conscious telling him that he can continue dancing in the water without getting wet. Basically, living in excess and not facing the consequences. It’s basically a deep dive into someone caught up in the whirlwind when abusing drugs and not caring about the aftermath. Also there’s just crazy imagery across the whole album: “Octopus in a straight jacket, savage with bad habits.” “Staring in the devil’s face but you can’t stop laughing.” Literally all of Downward Spiral and Get Hi. Loved the review!

[@LiamCorey-xz5nt]

[@tukoijarrett9155]

Earl's verse on Really Doe is so good, but his more recent stuff has a way different vibe that's also great. He's really nailed saying a lot in a short space of time. Lot of short introspective songs.

[@samwrightarchive]

Jonah Hill actually directed a music video for "Ain't it Funny" and it does a super good job tying into the themes of the album if any of you guys wanted to check it out on your own time

[@c0nplot325]

W, this album is also one of the greatest experimental albums of all time, next time Veteran

[@mangofarm123]

Doris by Earl Sweatshirt is a must listen record if you're looking for something more accessible by Earl. Bro was 18 or 19 when he made that album.

[@jordand431]

Y’all are definitely ready for Death Grips (The Money Store or No Love Deep Web). Excited to see your Veteran reaction tho, the production from Peggy on that is incredible.

[@chopstickingstylus]

Yall are living my dream rn. Imagine just coming back from a long week of work and needed some time to relax, and you do that being in a house with your chillest friends listening to albums together just having an awesome time

[@playazreview]

It’s the best 🙏🏽

Fuck yeah guys you’re killing it. Death Grips next ;)

[@sumo._]

Like a typical pale skinned individual, I often credit Tyler the Creator for getting me into hip hop fr back in 2013. But honestly, Atrocity Exhibition was the first album I heard in the genre that truly blew me away and led me down the rabbit hole back in 2016. Thanks for reacting to this one, I love seeing Danny’s artistry be shared.

[@playazreview]

🙏🏽

[@catswork]

the pale-skinned hiphop journey always starts with tyler

[@eggnotegg]

@@catswork my pale-skinned hiphop journey personally started with x, however i cant even listen to that shit anymore cuz its just ass tbh

[@lo0nyt0onz]

Mine started with Bone thugs n harmony e1999 eternal and Warren g G funk Era. I'd also throw in Spice 1- Self titled and the Chronic. This album is a grab bag of insain influences . The album is literally named after a Joy Division song lol

[@catswork]

@@eggnotegg thats how i feel with tyler i started with him but now his fanbase makes his whole disco ass fr

[@LiamCorey-xz5nt]

Yes....so glad you have reviewed this album. First album of his which got me checking his other work out. This album is fantastic

[@matthewviq32]

Glad y’all did this one. It’s definitely a lot to take in first listen but the experience is definitely worth it

[@XBeamChannel]

Just found this channel. Y'all are sick. If you want more Danny I'd highly recommend XXX that album is soooo good

[@braedenb5943]

Danny's artistry is unmatched if you know what he's going for. Downward Spiral is one you have to get used to, but trust me, it will become one of your favorites. Dope video

[@brianscli9567]

Ay glad to see this uploaded, love the production on this album so much and Danny spits crazy on every song. Great vid guys, I def echo the sentiments of anyone saying check out his earlier mixtape XXX, especially if this one is sticking with you. Danny is just a good dude w a massive personality, and he has a lot of super real shit to say. & he picks amazing beats to rap over so bonus. Keep it up, guys!

Haven't listened to this album for at least 4 years, amazing how well it aged.

[@RupturedBaby]

Its funny cause yall were talking about artirst making their best music off drugs and thats the meaning of the album title. Fans want artists to go through tough times and be off the drugs because thats when fans think they make their best music. An exhibition of the artritocities artists go through.

[@tonydigital808]

Everyone loves Earl’s verse on Really Doe. When Earl wants to bring it, he can fucking bring it. I don’t know if his albums would make for a good reaction on this channel just because of the depressing vibes but he’s one of the best regardless

👍 Enjoyed

[@aesthetic4829]

Once you’ve had to depend on any kind of substance just to make it through the day, or had one too many bad trips that’s when this album makes complete sense. In my opinion it’s the best rap album I’ve ever heard, an incredibly personal album for me.

You guys should react to Death grips the money store or exmilitary

This album is one of my favourites ever, in any genre.

Danny said on his podcast witt Jpeg that both of them got 2 more albums this year so hopefully we actually get them cause bro... if we do I dont need anything for about 10 more years ya know

Have to react to XXX by Danny Brown soon. A while album of him just spitting it’s perfect, one of the best rappers of this generation.

unfortunately can't fuck with this album... tried to listen to it a few times, maybe in the future i change my mind great vid btw guys! looking forward to the veteran reaction, best peggy album

ya'll gotta check out some Earl if ur not already hip to him

[@felipepelaez2324]

idk if anyone has mentioned this but Jonah Hill directed the Aint it Funny music video and it’s amazing

[@differentbutsimilar7893]

Will it sound good without JPEG? I'd say yes. JPEG himself thought it was so good that he continues to cite Danny as an influence to this day, even though they're now buddies and worked together. Probably why they work so well together. Peggy knew Danny long before he ever met him. Though to be fair, this is like, a national-treasure-level album as far as experimental hip-hop goes. EVERYBODY who makes the stuff knows and learns a little something from Danny Brown albums. Like, so much of it just sounds like this lol.
