Contrarily to what the title of this record suggests, my girl has been trying to put me on to Peggy for a while now. She's always saying things like "Please let me peg you" and "One of these nights I'm going to be pegging you, you know". This review finally convinced me to let her do it tonight. Thanks Antonio!

[@luigimurri4237]

I'm surprised I didn't like this one a lot. I couldn't hear them most of the time, but I don't know if that's because of the mixing or my car speakers. I feel like I missed a lotta good raps. While I like albums that are sonically adventurous and light on hooks (Earl's "Some Rap Songs"), I think the non-linearity of the songs here makes it hard for me to remember them as well as something like "Atrocity Exhibition." I do agree that instrumentally, this album is on a high level. I'd earnestly listen to an instrumental version if available. (I haven't tried a solo JPEG Mafia album yet, but I'm very interested after hearing this! Where's a good place to start?) I liked the middle 5 or 6 songs a lot, but I wished I liked the whole thing. I'd give it a strong 6. I'm still glad I tried it. I'll take the songs I like and return to it someday. Also Danny Brown could rap over a baby spitting up and sound on-rhythm. That skill is always impressive.

love love love this album. danny and peggy continue to outdo themselves everytime. i can’t thank you enough for putting me onto these guys way back when, fantano. changed my life fr

[@deezwaffles6678]

I've probably listened to the album like 10 times already since it's release.

[@jisookwon5787]

a wise man once said: "the best song wasnt the single"

[@IFeItYourShape]

but you weren’t either⁉️⁉️⁉️

[@NoahIsThaGOAT]

The first single is actually the worst one

[@zappymango2046]

Living in ladera heights

[@dmoore4520]

Love Danny, and Peggy has been growing on me. But holy shit I can't quit listening to this one. Orange Juice Jones is my favorite track. Love the production throughout

[@madeleinep.828]

Never thought a song called Steppa Pig on an album called Scaring the Hoes would become one of my favorite songs of the year

[@naska98]

no mention of orange juice jones? loved danny's delivery over this incredible MJ sample.

[@DatDaDatty]

the yellow flannel balaclava goes super hard

[@geeteejae]

No memes Goddamn this project is nuts. Always got me second guessing. Peggy's production is I N S A N E, along with him and danny being at the top of their game. Happy seeing the yellow flannel :)

[@bandlitt]

seriously one of the best produced albums ive heard in a long time. Peggy took it to a new level and i think DB is the perfect rapper to rap over Peggy’s unique beats

[@benjiusofficial]

That they were doing this on a 404 is commendable. I fuckin hate that thing because my friends are Dilla worshippers with a background in 'lofi hip-hop beats to study to' type shit.

[@paullemay6596]

5:20 Just to let melon and anyone else know, the aesthetic of Burfict! is very much "NFL Football". Vontaze Burfict is a very controversial, but undoubtedly talented and rough af NFL linebacker. Those "insane horn samples" are very reminiscent of the NFL themes on ESPN and Fox Sports, but it especially sounds like NBC's theme for Sunday Night Football, music that any NFL fan will be very familiar with.

[@lonersdreamworld]

oh wow i didn't know it was classics week already! thanks ant knee! this is one of the albums of the 1980s and im glad youre acknowledging it again you snuffy bear :3

[@zojaXII]

durring this review I cried, I laughed, I smiled, I screamed, what a great review for a great album 6/10

[@jimcroce8210]

This album is fantastic, they compliment each other so well! Been waiting for new Danny Brown music since forever one of the best

Definitely a fantano type album, well deserved rating👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

directly up his alley

[@SplendidCoffee0]

I love that Melon saw the podcast. This means that he has at least heard of Cyraxx, lmfaooo

[@AQGOAT24]

The clapping noise on scaring the hoes is actually a sample "Untitled"-Dirty Beaches

[@hugobecookin]

Glad Anthony spoke about redveil ! Knowing their past it’s refreshing to hear some good words

[@RigoVids]

Fentanyl Tester goes hard ASF I will die on the hill that it’s the best banger here, and should be the most popular by far.

[@nightmare-nightmarenightma1147]

I've listened to the album probably 5 times so far and cannot get enough of it. Also that cover is top tier

[@sinaklsindre2831]

I have listened to it 20 times and it gets better every time

[@cloudunknown]

The merch is even better

[@liambutreal4919]

The first time I listened to this I was taken back by the chaotic nature and sound of this album but after going through a second listen I absolutely fell in love with the production, themes and overall sound of this project. There was so much personality humor and creativity to ignore and I absolutely adore this album

[@ieggsavior]

I've listened to this album at least 3 times a day since its come out. Peggy has yet to miss.

[@elik031]

the plaid baclava was the most effective use of a thumbnail i've seen all year,, i was only intersted in his explanation for putting that on. IT NEEDS TO MAKE A COMEBACK.

[@dompicc888]

Okay at first I was like uh I don’t like this at all, then continued to listen to the whole album and eventually got the theme and the vibe of this album. Burfict might be one of the best songs this year and Scaring the hoes was great here too.

[@pilkmaster]

god loves you is possibly one of the funniest songs i’ve heard in my life

[@patp.7110]

Honestly I didn't expect to love pretty much every song because Peggy albums have always had a skip here or there for me but here we are

[@jennifersalome]

I'd never listened to either of them before (though I knew about them) and played this on a whim. Idk if that was a good or bad idea, but it was chaotic, and this is one of the best albums I've ever heard.

[@dunnowy123]

First off: This album is so fucking 🔥. It's a perfect synthesis of both of the guys' talents, so weird, but so full of amazing bangers. I was never THAT big a JPEG fan, but this album may have converted me. Also, on the point about the "underground and the mainstream collapsing on top of each other", I don't think it's to the extent where underground artists are as big as mainstream ones, but underground artists, trends, and styles EVENTUALLY bleed into the mainstream, but only aspects of them are actually accepted. Als

[@pngCOATS]

crazy how i can predict fantano scores, im inside his mind. i always enjoy his reviews tho good work fantano

[@stealthpoint]

Albums like this are the ones you need to listen to multiple times to fully appreciate it

[@vxxiii4160]

Agreed!

[@boost24]

i gave it 9.3 upon initial listen

[@mannynoneya7143]

thought it was wack the first time, but on thrid listen i fuck with every track to some extent

[@ramshadify]

The beats are perfect for Danny. They really compliment his style

[@danejohnson6823]

This album really confirms that Danny is at his best with chaotic beats. He kinda sounded a bit flat on 'You Know What I'm Saying', and I blame the more 'standard' production that was on that record

[@Dappis]

Kingdom Hearts Key legit one of my all time favorite beats

[@SpinSurgery]

The 404 has made a bit of a comeback lately w producers. It’s mad fun to use cuz it’s a sampler that’s mad Easy to sequence and get super quick results compared to a computer dAw and you can do some badass fx and sorta play it live in real time or record some of the tweaks. It’s an awesome tool, I like it better than an MPC for getting shit done quickly. But it’s def limited compared to like Ableton Live or whatever. Idk! Try it if u make beats! Not too much $$$

[@Tongue2Flagpole25]

Couldn't believe my ears when I heard part of the Escaflowne opening theme used as the melody on Kingdom Hearts Key. What a time to be alive.

[@TheDrewDella]

the album was immaculate they both my heroes i hope to work w them. n when tf did everyone become an engineer talking ab the mix so deep lmao
