Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition Album Review | DEHH 

Beezy's least favorite turns out to be Mike's Favorite Ain't it funny how it happens?

I'M LIKE KUBRICK WITH 2 BRICKS

danny brown watches these reviews, so imagine how he gon feel during the part feefo his comparing his voice to the one of a chihuahua 😂

This is the best hip hop album of the year.

"Fear and loathing in las vegas put to music" Alright thats perfect.

Danny grew up playing the trumpet and his style and voice resembles that of a trumpet solo. I get that some cant vibe with Danny's delivery, but his authenticity is what makes him as an artist. Danny is a genius IMO

What, no mention of "White Lines"? That was my joint!

"At the end of the day, its just something that I really took my time with," adds the rapper. "I know this day and age, a lot of artists can't really take time off to make music … they'll get replaced. With me, [I'm] somebody that's able to sit down and be able to take my time, 'cause aint nobody gonna be out here sounding like me, ain't nobody gonna be out here doing what I do."- Danny brown

Damn, Feefo's got some tiny-ass ears

Damn only Mike truly emphasised how mind blowing a track Aint It Funny is. Easily the centerpiece of the album and the more I listen the more I'm convinced it's the defining song of the experimental hip hop genre.

Shouts to Ken for pointing out that jazz connection

The "dance in the water and not get wet" line is a reference to drug use and the risks associated with it. Danny is saying that he is using these hard drugs (dancing in the water) but not suffering from the problems that could come with it (getting wet).

AOTY

Can we just applaud Beezy for not reaching over the table and smacking Feefo for shitting on his boy Danny Brown?

Danny Brown is a fucking rockstar!

Someone said one time to listen to Danny's albums like a story where the high voice is him when he's high and happy, and then his normal voice is him after he's come back down and his depression has started consuming him again, and I feel like this album really benefits from listening from that perspective, it really helps paint a picture of just how stuck he is in this endless loop of getting high to escape his depression and anxiety, but then coming back down and being worse than ever, and having no other way to remedy it than just repeating the cycle. I also feel like it's really beneficial to understanding the album to read Danny's depressed/anxious/suicidal breakdown that he had on Twitter a couple years back, it really helps to paint a picture of the kind of dark stuff that's going on in his head.

"If jazz artists rapped this what they would sound like" Dude hit the nail on the fucking head

I slept on danny brown for 2 long but this album woke me tf up. 1 of my favorite projects of 2016 top 10 at least

Anyone else love White Lines

I'm praying for Danny Brown to do an album with El-P. Who else thinks that shit would be bananas?

Earl Sweatshirt verse of the year, between him and 3Stacks on Blonde.

Danny brown has now set the bar for experimental rap!!! This will go down as a classic in its due time!! Chaeeeck!!!!

Dance In The Water and Not Get Wet

paul white needs to be commended more for this album

I wasn't shocked when a lot of my hip hop friends just couldn't get into this album, Danny Brown really went all out with that post punk vibe on this one, love it, definitely agree with Myke. It may not be super popular today, but it'll go down as a classic.

Feefo reviews for the ppl that listen to the basic radio station hip hop

In my experience the people say Danny's voice is annoying are the same people who think it's dope when Kendrick does that high-pitched type shit he does on tracks? "It just adds more to the track!" Man just stop it.

I can't take swisher sweets serious anymore after that last episode of Atlanta.

Got emotional listening the Myke's praise

Who else starts laughing when they laughing even tho u don't know what they saying

I didnt sleep for tha whole night...and i was just about to...and then i saw this..FUCK

I think "When It Rains" is one of Danny Brown's best work so far, no beat? His vocals constantly match with the synth backrounds. Unless you really like other music other than just rap, then youre probably not going to like his creative nature.

Was I the only one waiting for a Schoolboy verse on pneumonia?

Hip-hop album of the decade so far. Squeaks past RtJ2. This shit is insanely inventive. He made a true sequel to XXX. This is Mania: the Album. Danny sounds like some demented carnival barker on "Ain't It Funny"... that Alchemist beat on "White Lines"... the mixture of post-punk and Detroit techno... I could go on all day. I agree with Beezy and Myke on this one. And I didn't even catch that "B.O.B." reference... but it makes perfect sense. Look at Dilla's "Donuts" turning 10 the same year that another Detroit artist drops this album; "Atrocity Exhibition" has me excited for hip-hop's future.

Myke on point with this one

Danny Brown told the Red Bull Music Academy last year (or maybe the year before) that he wanted to make the hip hop equivalent of Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral. I love the continuing marriage of industrial drums and rapping. Danny Brown is pushing the genre forward.

Knew Feefo wouldn't like it.

album of the year. Feefo is trippin

YO THEY GOT THE SWISHER SPONSORSHIP.

Ain't it funny is the hardest track ever, indisputably! That flow, that "beat", it just surges your ear drums with an unbelievable amount of energy

Definitely hip hop album of the year so far, I enjoyed this even more than XXX. Amazing album, agree with Myke completely Browns gonna end up being a legend.

I agree 100% with Myke. This album still blows me away everytime I listen to it. Honestly think him and Kendrick are the two most unique 'new' artists out right now

This is the withdrawal after the high of Old

kinge has been making really great observations and interesting points about albums recently

Best album this fucking year.

Excellent review as usual, DEHH! Danny Brown captivates me as one of the most unpredictable and eccentric artists around. His energetic delivery and flow over the off-kilter production, syncopated rhythms and dark atmosphere create an immersive experience that's truly unique. This is the best work I've heard from him and is a strong contender for album of the year.

I think this is Danny's best album. He is such an original artist, his flows, lyrics, and cadence he is such a unique artist that sounds like no one else.

Myke is right, 'Ain't It Funny' is a monster.

I fell in love for this album when I heard It Ain't funny, craziest beat I heard all year, and the way danny flows on that was fucking dope. This album was great, top 3 2016 easily.

I don't mind Danny's voice really doe!

DEHH on point this month. I was rocking my 5 year anniversary T shirt today at L.A. Taste of Soul. Keep up the good work y'all.

That was a GREAT point, Ken. Showing that people like Miles Davis wouldve been rapping about drugs too if they were rappers is a very nuanced viewpoint

that "bump in the whip" guy is getting mocked i feel sorta bad for him.

I'm like Kubrick with 2 bricks!

Any experimental rap album: "Look ima give him credit where credit is due, okay, look I appreciate him as an artist okay look...."

I really loved this review. You guys are so fantastic at what you do. Thank you so much.

SHIIIIT! when myke made that fear and loathing in las vegas connection! Gah Dam thats accurate af

Great review! I already really like the album, but the points made in this review made it click with me even more. esp. C-towns commentary. Keep it up!

Earl gave the most dangerous feature I have ever heard on this album and this should never be forgotten

You know who else has a high pitched voice in rap K Dot

Always love these reviews , nice video guys

really appreciate what you guys do man, just thought i should say that

This album is crazy! I couldn't stand his voice but once I got over that i love it. I never listened to Danny brown until you guys did the really doe review, but I'm gonna check the rest of his stuff out because this project is dope as hell.

kinge was really on point in this review, i didnt know about the jazz artists being drug addicts or about the book atrocity exhibition till he mentioned it

Took over my #1 album of the year..this album is ridiculously dope.

Ken always wearing that damn steelers shirt smh

DEHH Stepping it up quality wise and Modest Media Camera Work is just getting better

Thanks for postin this been waiting for it

This album is the only album release of September that went above and beyond and surpassed my expectations. Travis Scott - Mediocre Mac Miller - underwhelming Vince Staples - forgettable Mick Jenkins - eh Isaiah Rashad - Cool But this album here is Amazing, With a fucking capital A my nigga.

6 years later and its still probably in the top 5 or 10 best of the decade

Downward Spiral... definitely going to make it on to my list of favorite songs of 2016.

The production on Ain't It Funny is immaculate. Reminds me of a Justice track

Their Swisher Sweets sponsor reminds me of the last Atlanta episode lmao.

my fav songs of the album were 1. Aint it funny 2. When it rain 3. White lines 4. Dance in the water 5. Lost

I dont see how one can hate Thug's voice but love Danny's voice

i just got around to listen to the album....and its the best of the year for me. while i was listening to white lines...i just realised i had smile on my face...that song was so good.

Longtime viewer, loved to see y'all make the same connection from Three Stacks to Dany near the end of the video. This album has made me wonder if Danny Brown is the spiritual successor to Andre 3000, and I would love to see y'all tackle that question some day!

Awesome review, I loved this album.

XXX it's still one of the albums I listen to the most after a few years, Old was good but it just didn't reach that lever. This album will definitely be on playlist for years, probably my favorite of this year.

Incredible album, my favorite of the year!

Feefo got his dream sponsor lol

Been waiting for this review. 10/10 for me, album of the year.

Damn you DEHH.. its so late lol, but your videos are worth it.

This shit was so random God dammit Dead end I wanna try to get enough sleep for once!!! Great album though basically all in all a perfect album for me. Ain't It Funny is a fucking trip, and that Pnemonia video is probably video of the year.

Spot on when he say Danny will go down a legend. 💯

"You know who you is? You the greatest rapper ever."

Ken you hit it right on! I took it as like the Doors kind of sound and I absolutely love it

At first I didn't like his voice but it eventually grew on me and when it did I was able to enjoy how creative and dope this guy is This album is definitely AOTY along with blank face lp and imperial

fr tho, got feels listening to myke praise this and danny. he right on.

Swisher Sweets? DEHH is movin up in the world!

did myke really call pneumonia a trap song lol

I just started listening to Danny Brown. His XXX album is phenomenal.

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW!!! I'm with Feefo on this one. I respect Danny's creativity to the MAX and he's definitely one of the most original artists out right now, but I can't get with some of those beats and his voice. I completely get why people love this album though. It's different!

First off, the 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' comparison you made Myke is incredible, I totally agree. This album is awesome, for sure in my top 5 of the year without a doubt. Easily my favorite Danny Brown album and I've been a fan since XXX, but this elevates him to the next level. If I was just a fan before because I thought he had two great albums, now he is one of my favorite artists with one of my favorite albums. Incredible, I saw this coming when I heard "When It Rain" and I think that song might be the best on the album, it is unlike anything I've ever heard. Which is something that can be said for much of this album. I think "Dance in the Water" is brilliant, even with the verses being sorta sparse, it is still one of my favorites. This whole album is unreal. "Ain't It Funny" "Golddust" and "White Lines" are so fucking dark, not that the rest of the album isn't but those really encapsulate it and mark what the album is when you get to them. Funny that they come after "Lost" like at that songs point Danny is just lost in his trip and "Ain't It Funny" is when he starts thinking about shit and shit goes downward fast, and the last five songs are kinda like aftermath mode where the biggest horrors are over but you are just melancholic dwelling in dread, but you roll up some weed at the end and say you'll live another day. Incredible fucking album, really, the sound and everything is so perfect, big shout out to the producers for this album. It is so outstanding, I'd say he for sure beat Death Grips on the experimental hip hop front this year. That is saying something because I friggin love Bottomless Pit. Great review guys.

We need a Danny brown and Andre 3000 album- Andre 3000 would be the "conscious" and Danny would be the "lifestyle". Andre would have the verses of "ok, I'm gonna quit" or "okay I'm stopping, if I don't I'm going to die" but Danny is the "I can't stop, I won't stop ," I feel it would be interesting.

To 'dance in the the water and not get wet' is an analogy for his life. He's playing with fire and not getting burnt, he's living his life in a way which could ruin him at any moment. It's one of my favourite songs on the album.

shit got me listening to the album for the 20th time or something, props to y'all

Atrocity Exhibition, Bottomless Pit, and Honor Killed The Samurai were 3 of my favorite 2016 rap albums.

For me, the first time I heard the album, it clicked with "Ain't it Funny". Before that I was enjoying it, but it wasn't clicking with me, hearing him wilin' over those hardly even a beat hooked me, and from that point on everything sounded amazing. Pneumonia was also an instant love, weird ass trap is brilliant. Today I was enjoying, and then he says that André 3000 line and I needed to re listen to it. When it Rain was also one of my early favourites. Now it's one of my favourite albums of the year. Seriously sick what he did.

When it Rain was lowkey the best song on the album. Also, the sample, Pot Au Feu by Delia Derbyshire, is really good by itself.
