I wasn't able to get into Danny Brown at all (expect I enjoyed his feature on Piñata) but Atrocity Exhibition I enjoyed the living shit out of. I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out. Its one of my favorite albums in the past years, its just so different from anything else I've heard.
About tension without the jump, that's exactly how I felt the first time I listened to when it rain. The tension builds and builds but then fades, leaving you in a permanent stage of tension without the burst. It's similar to the feeling of throwing up but you never throw up. The wait is never finished or relieved. Only you can make that burst on your own.
3:50 i got fucking goosebumps. i heard this opening in my head while you were in the middle of the sentence. i knew exactly what you were talking about before you gave the example. holy shit i never even consciously realized that about the track
Deconstruction, hyperbole in various states of self (awareness), hedonistically tinged nihilism at times- how it relates also to his city of Detroit. Love nods to things like NIN, in downward spiral song title. He is always seeking interesting things, such as grime or whatever. Realizes the role the internet plays, spinning that in different ways. Rather than introspective "conscious" blah blahs. Ah man. He is anything but derivative. Plain fucking cool. Thank (little g) god for Danny Brown in rap.
@@fuzzydunlop4513 this was a weird take. I'm pretty sick of people trying to make force paralells between rock and rap like "___ is the ___ of hip-hop"
I love DB and AE is great, however, I wonder if this review is deeper then he really intends. I hope he puts this much thought into the rhyme's and if he does I think he will remain one of the goat!
Mad props to Scott Green, I love the people you analyze on these breakdowns . It's like you choose my favorite performers in all the different genres of music . In other words you have great taste 😊. Hope you break out and have tons of success . Take care
Insightful video, I'm starting to understand Danny's music in ways you are describing. I had to listen to Atrocity Exhibition a few times just to start understanding what he's saying.
The contents good but if you want to improve it I’d make it more visually stimulating (Like for quoting rhymes, you could do a bottom top scroll and then highlight the line being rhymed) so itd catch people’s eyes more often. Like Guthrie said to a young Bob Dylan; You got the writing down, you just need to work on ‘playing that guitar’.
Traditional rock is pretty much dead and that's okay! Rock and roll lovers should recognize that danny and other rap artist are carrying on soul of rock and roll. More old people who cant get over classic rock need to appreciate rap.
This review is too deep. You've created an overspiritualized concept for us to delve into but honestly your perspective sounds too contrived. Your analysis almost ends up making no sense because the complexity of your content stretches so far away from base reality that it sounds abstracted... either this or youre trully flying over heads because your review sounds like the vocal idea of earphones being so tangled up that people even become discouraged to use them But thumbs up regardless though because its dope 🤘👽
