    Enjoyed the album a lott.
    Danny is great with them bars, some really hilarious lines on this album too.
    Delivery is less erratic. Which is great.
    Kind of disappointed with that Peggy x RTJ x Danny track and that another Peggy collaboration produced by Flying Lotus and Thundercat but they're still great. Just expected something other worldly.

    Favorite tracks: Change Up, Theme Song (whoever put that violin needs a raise), Savage Nomad, Best Life, Shine.
    9/10.

    I love old. Mainly the first half though. It's hard for me to listen start to finish. This is just more cohesive and seamless start to finish. Still letting it settle in though.

    My first reaction: not as good as ---/Old/Atrocity but better than Hybrid...which still makes it a very very good album.

    some review of the album: https://www.theskinny.co.uk/music/reviews/albums/danny-brown-uknowhatimsaying

    Executive-produced by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip – who Brown credits with pulling him out of writer’s block – and starring a revolving cast, uknowhatimsaying¿ has Brown unable to sit still. Much like his previous record Atrocity Exhibition, moving from one mind-boggling canvas to another effortlessly. The noirish psychedelia of Change Up gives way to vintage crackle on Theme Song; he is equally comfortable rhyming off foul-mouthed sex-capades on the William Onyeabor-indebted Dirty Laundry as he is over jazz-funk fusion (with a little help from Flying Lotus).

    Joined by provocateur of the moment JPEGMAFIA on two tracks, we get the best of both of his worlds: once with him at the motherboard manning a seasick rhythm (3 Tearz) and again providing a memorable hook (Negro Spiritual). Dev Hynes shows up to lend gravitas to the introspective Danny on Shine, and Nigeria-born Obongjayar’s husky rasp is a wounded spectre on the ghost train ride of Belly of the Beast.

    Most dazzling is Brown’s ability to ride these beats – even those that verge on, well, beatless. His technical proficiency is a marvel. In fact, on the Run the Jewels collaboration 3 Tearz, Killer Mike and EL-P are fine, but they seem battle-drunk from fighting with production that refuses to stay still. The duo are no strangers to beats that defy the mainstream, but they’ve rarely been found on something so hazy and psychotropic. Brown utterly schools them.

    Never got into Danny, his voice annoys me. But I like sole produced albums so I'll prob give this a go when it comes out.
