open.spotify.com/album/6idVoB...
Ta13oo (stylized TA13OO and pronounced Taboo) is the third studio album by American rapper Denzel Curry. It was released on July 27, 2018, through PH Recordings and distributed by Loma Vista Recordings. The album serves as the follow-up to Curry's second studio album, Imperial, released in 2016, and the 13 EP, released in 2017. Ta13oo features guest appearances from Twelve'len, GoldLink, Nyyjerya, JID, JPEGMafia, ZillaKami, and additional vocals by Billie Eilish. Production was handled by FnZ, DJ Dahi, Ronny J, Illmind, Charlie Heat, and Mickey de Grand IV, among others.
Ta13oo was supported by five singles: "Sumo", "Percs", "Clout Cobain", "Vengeance", and "Black Balloons". The album received widespread acclaim from critics.

[@Flamerunner451]

No hate but I really don’t get the intense love for Sirenz from most people, the beat’s nothing special and the hook sounds generic to me. But the mediocre songs on this are better than a lot of albums’s best songs

[@dirtmcgirt7578]

@@Flamerunner451 I think it’s JID’d best verse ever, even still to this day. I love denzels intro. Billies iconic background vocals during chorus. I truly love it. Other fav song would easily be vengeance

Please do more Denzel!!❤ Ps: the woman singing on the chorus with denzel on Sirenz is actually Billie Eilish

[@xdlmao42]

Black Balloons has got to be one of my favorite songs ever I still don’t understand how that didn’t become a huge hit for Denzel

[@shotaturava3296]

Me too man, that song is absolutely amazing

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

That was one of my favorites along with sirens

[@th3thiiird3y3]

I disagree respectfully. That song is a honorable hit without it being a radio/TikTok darling. I can imagine the video has top 10 views within his own released work. They even dropped remixes for it... What more do people want? If he flies too high, he's too _"mainstream"_ . Denzel is at a great spot within the rap world. Music isn't even made selling music itself anymore. Now if his touring and his loyal fanbase dissipates, then that would be a problem.

[@xdlmao42]

@@th3thiiird3y3 I’m just saying it has the makings of a huge song with the infectious chorus and great features. I’m not saying I would prefer it to be a TikTok song I’m just saying it seems like it should be bigger than it is.

[@th3thiiird3y3]

@@xdlmao42 I understand that and to clarify: I never assumed you preferred it in that vein (of being known via TikTok). Amongst his listeners, I believe Black Balloons to be quite a popular song. If anything, I wish GoldLink's last couple of albums received more attention. *HARAM!* was a bit odd at times, however, he has a few gems on there. I do hope Dad & Son give *At What Cost* a listen. A must for the modern DMV scene.

[@dzikowy7]

Ok so... I've seen some confusion in video and I don't mean to be the nerd emoji here but let me just clarify one thing. It's very easy to overlook and I feel like Denzel kinda did it on purpose but the "acts" of the album don't really refer to the sound of the songs (or at least not only). The split is kind of more suposed to symbolize Denzels state of mind in the greater context of the story told in TA1300. Let me explain: In songs from ACT 1 (like Cash Maniac and Black Ballons) Denzel raps about a lot of drug/fame related problems. In ACT 2 songs focus on various problems connected to his personal life but also life as a musician. ACT 3 is kinda supposed to show how he's dealing with the problems (or how he dicides to take action). So... in short, the meaning of the acts would look something like: The Act I: Light - Not being able to recognize the problems around you/numbing the pain with drugs The Act II: Grey - Realization of the problems The Act III: Dark - Taking action/Revenge on people who are the source of the problems Of course you don't really have to understand the meaning of the acts to enjoy the music. I wanted to clarify it just beacuse I feel like the whole concept of the album and the execution of it is not noticed and talked about enough by the general audience. Anyways, loved the video. Ta13oo is one of my favourite albums of all time and honestly, Denzel is just so underrated man. Can't wait for ZUU reaction

[@turningthetables]

this comment is great thank you my dude. honestly had no idea always just assumed it was the sound.

[@dzikowy7]

@@turningthetablesThanks guys. Absolutley love your videos, some of them are almost nostalgic for me lmao. Can't wait for more Denzel (and also it would be amazing to see an Exmilitary reaction)

[@WakeUpGeorge]

@@turningthetables I feel like "Denzel Curry's Misunderstood Masterpiece" a video by The Manic Pineapple expands on this really well, 100% worth a watch

[@gavinwilsdorf9374]

Imo the acts are divided up by tone/outlook of the issues he talks about. In act 1, while yes, he talks about issues, his outlook is relatively positive. Denzel has hope that they can be fixed. For example on black balloons “suicides not a mission” and hopefully one day the pain will stop. Act 2 is less hopeful and he has a less positive view on issues. It’s hard to give example here since it’s kinda an in between Finally on act 3 Denzel curry is not hopeful. He’s lost faith in the world and has resorted anger and heavy emotions

[@omb1357]

Important to remember a lot of the motivation for him becoming the 'Black Metal Terrorist' and taking revenge is the murder of his brother by police brutality

[@drujackson4930]

Can we get a video on Smino??? He’s a BEAST

[@slackstarfish8133]

Such a good fucking album. Denzel has a better discography than 80% of rappers. Hes gonna go down as one of the best rappers of the 2010s 100%. He just does it all. His production is way more immersive than most rappers, on the level of a Travis Scott while his rhyme schemes and vocal diversity are on an extremely high level. Hes also great at catchy hooks and his pen has gotten extremely sharp in recent years. His albums are extremely replayable yet all different, and that’s one of the most impressive things about him. Not a single album sounds the same and that can’t be said for most rappers. I heard a lot of these songs live and shit was incredible. Dudes an unreal performer, he doesn’t miss a single beat or take a breath it’s kinda insane.

[@sho-m-er5194]

So underrated man, I really hope he never feels like he has to act a clown to gain more traction (which is a bit ironic considering my pfp maybe)

[@hrulius1777]

Love this channel man, especially the vinyls in the background. My dad was the reason I got on Daft Punk, Wu-Tang it can't go wrong from there. He worked a lot in the DJ industry and he sadly passed when I was 11. Im glad you have this going with your dad, both music fanatics that care a lot about it while listening and afterwards. Glad to see how far you have come, and I'm sure I'm not the only one watching your videos with a similar backstory :)

[@6PathsGohan]

Such an amazing project

[@lukemagyari6226]

Denzel really is underappreciated in the fact that he has had major influence as far back to raider klan, with spaceghostpurrp, coming up out of Florida with X, being apart of the most iconic XXL freshman class, and being a prominent figure in todays "conscious" rap game, while still being under the age of 30, he really doesn't have a single project that's just average either (okay I'm done glazing)

[@MachHommyFan18]

You guys HAVE to react to Westside Boogie. Hands down my favourite rapper atm. More Black Superheroes is his newest album but Everything's for Sale is amazing too. He's signed to shady records and has had Eminem on his songs but he's still criminally underrated.

[@DasZakhaev]

I think that omnipresent sound effect on Sirenz is a rattle, and given that the lyrics carry tones of "when I stand up against the man, stand with me," my pet theory is that the rattle is meant to carry the same symbolism as the rattlesnake in the "Don't Tread On Me" flag from the Revolution.

I think Denzel curry goes under the radar and under discussed because of the type and style of music he makes reaches smaller demographics than the majority of styles we usually discuss i.e. storytelling/lessons which makes it hard to place and categorize him as an artist especially when he can go from an album like this to his unlocked projects and the variety in his art
