'Walkin, ' is also was one of my favourite songs as well. The lyrics really got me in encouraging me to keep going on despite the hard times. I've used it as gym motivation, to get out of depressive thoughts. Honestly one of my favourite songs. Was a bit sad you didn't mention the Kenny beats tape as that had some impressive artistic visuals along side his rap. It's an absolute experience watching and listening at the same time for that piece of work.
he is so laid back and chill. If he did something crazy on social media that people who don't listen to his music could meme about he'd be up for all kinds of music awards and talked about as top tier.
Denzel is one of those artists where he really puts his all into his music and uses his platform to really push others up with him and I respect the hell out of him genuinely one of the most amazing rap artists by far I've always been a fan of his and I'll continue to
I seen Denzel in Toronto 2018, was in a pretty small bar (Maybe 200 people max or less). He had no backtrack and killed every song. I loved his music before hand and after that I had nothing but pure respect for him. Best show I was to so far
Denzel has been my number 1 artist Since late 2018 early 2019, I don't even know exactly why, his music just feels and hits on a completely different level to my ears and in my eyes.
My parents got me tickets to the chicago show for my bday and he pulled me on stage for walkin. That was the best moment in recent memory bro my favorite song ever i was on stage for. He really is a gem
An artist who’s really underrated is K.A.A.N. I understand that most of his tapes do not have a real concept, but his music usually has a really nice sound to it. He honestly deserves to at least have 1 million streams on spotify.
@@KingBenny Yeah, I haven’t really heard his music since that one rap god remix. However, I just recently remembered he existed and has apparently dropped 30 projects since 2015
I got into him this year cause of melt my eyez. It’s one of if not my favorite album this year. I recently heard taboo and Zuu and realized what a great ear he has for beats. I put him up there with Big Krit in terms of quality music and being underrated.
Denzel is one of those artist that online I see oceans of (well deserved) praise. But when I ask someone in real life they've either never heard of him or only know his name.
This video is soo good!! Really captures his genius 😭 his albums stay sooo solid. He kinda reminds me of Kurt cobain for real, because he’s so adamant on not being viewed as like an icon but if and when he blows up, it will be inevitable.
Admittedly, I didn't decide to start listening to Denzel until I heard him on a track with another artist named JPEGMAFIA, and realized I missed out on a few years of really, really good music. Both are currently ruling my playlist lol
Ay, shoutout to this guy for using the “hate will never win” beat at the end, it’s one of the most interesting X songs I’ve heard and if you haven’t heard it, go listen to it right now.
Melt my eyez probably the most refreshing rap album I’ve heard in a very very long time. Creativity off the fucking charts the amount of pop culture references in the song is an Easter egg in of itself. As someone who loves Kurasawa films, the album made me watch his movies again and I’m talking a full marathon
The line from Percs still applies to him to this day. He should be up there with Kendrick but nobody is realizing this. Everyone talks about Kendrick and Cole but Cole honestly shouldn’t be there. He’s good but Denzel is far better.
Being underrated is the Sacrafice he had to make to be independent and have full creative control. He’s not signed to a major label taking all the profits and control his image
Maybe underrated? But that's only because we haven't thought of the term for those greater than the greatest. Also, shout out to JID. These 2 guys are the future of rap, hip hop... Music. Whatever you wanna call it.
Rumour has it that one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
Best in the game, hands down. Denzel and Kendrick are so far and above any other mainstream cats it's insane, but for my money, this man is the best. He can do it all.
when i think of 2010's hiphop, i think of tyler, kendrick, ye, & denzel. people really need to start putting respect on his name as one of the best rappers atm
Man I resonate with this analogy fully. I've been telling friends about how Melt My Eyes See Your Future is an excellent album but I keep getting a mild response. I feel like Denzel is a bit of a niche hip-hop artist who excels in doing his own thing, you either like it or you don't.
I use to think "yeah denzel curry is appropriately rated. Idk why people are saying hes underated." But after dropping tabboo zuu unlocked and now melt back to back i truly think he deserves much more praise in the mainstream. I think similarly to MFDOOM hes an artist that is really for the fans who are in love with the craft rather than the casual rap listener.
Saw him at Leeds festival and he was like the second act of the day, which usually means the act is small time. My god he had the crowd going like he was the main act of the night. Was the first rapper I ever saw that had an actual mosh pit.
Denzel is one of only a handful of newer rappers I listen to. But even in saying that he's probably in my top 5 all time rappers. His flow and beats are top notch and can listen to him for hours on end.
I feel like Denzel Curry is falling into a spot similar to MF DOOM or Aesop rock being underrated but so influential and critically acclaimed by juniors peers seniors and everyone that's actually in it
Denzel Curry doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody. He has not had one bad album. He is a top inspiration for me in terms of concept, artistry, and energy.
When i saw him live last month i became a bigger fan he killed the show, and is a great artist to see live, and his openers were crazy. He is slept on fr
side note this dude made a cover of a beloved nu metal song and somehow gained the respect of metalheads .... those dudes dont accept hiphop ppl doing a cover usually let alone of such an iconic song. A lot even said he did it better than the original.
Walking is the best song imo as well. Like it's his culmination of his skills and talents to make a truly badass song and one that I listen to frequently
Long story short, denzel basically says that even thought there’s different sections of the album, “Everything that I see, yeah is Taboo.” On the light side of the Album, the opening line, “Welcome to the darker side of Taboo.” Which contradicts things, because taboo is everywhere.
Its sad that even in a video about denzel his imo best album 13lood 1n + 13lood out isnt mentioned. Yes i know it never got released to streaming services (exept Evil Twin with ZillaKami) and is super raw but its still a masterpice.
He may be overlooked, but he's never underpaid
hi Dolan
Real
this duck is the biggest denzel fan i swear
AHAHAHA 😂😂 That's the song with Zilla. . . I think. Good song👍🏻
PERCZ
As Denzel said in PERCS "I may be overlooked, but I'm never underpaid"
Hopefully he wins at least 1 Grammy this year
And take it back to dale
grammy for what? Worst rap album?
@@mikec5400 what an L
@@mikec5400 Major L
@@mikec5400 wow i can understand if you don't like it but calling it "the worst" you just sound like a hater
He became one of my favorite rappers in the last few years.

For sure he should have some sort of chart success

Very well done. You spoke so many of my thoughts here. He’s truly unique and talented. Melt my eyes was everything I was hoping for.
thank you... i think melt my eyes wasn't the perfect denzel album because i think he got something better coming up
I listen to Doing It Stealthy when I'm experiencing existential dread. It makes it worse but... I just can't stop.
Ultimate was the anthem for all the bottle flippers
zel is on of the best rappers of this generation. if MMESYF doesn’t win a grammy i’ll cry
Kendrick taking whatever Grammy you think it'll win ngl
wasn’t even nominated, grammys can’t be taken serious no more
This video is soo good!! Really captures his genius 😭 his albums stay sooo solid. He kinda reminds me of Kurt cobain for real, because he’s so adamant on not being viewed as like an icon but if and when he blows up, it will be inevitable.
comments like this is literally the main reason why i still make videos if im being honest
@@KingBenny keep going king!!
@@weekendlani9968 I will :)

JPEGMAFIA is off the walls but shoutout to him
@@KingBenny definitely an acquired taste for some lol
Veteran is crazy, that album means a lot to me.
Bald?
Same here... Lol.
Been rocking with Denzel since 2013, it’s been a wild ride watching his career from the sidelines. Best rapper of our time, even JPEG mafia said that
Ay, shoutout to this guy for using the “hate will never win” beat at the end, it’s one of the most interesting X songs I’ve heard and if you haven’t heard it, go listen to it right now.
Teo-Selfless did it first/better. I love X shih tho still
Bro since imperial he was dope at least since every drop from that point on I have never been disappointed
there was a couple of drops from 2019-21 that i didnt enjoy as much but yeah... Denzel is still pretty consistent
@@KingBenny I enjoyed zuu and the project with Kenny beats
He's been putting out great music for more than 5 years, almost a decade now since Nostalgic 64
Melt my eyez probably the most refreshing rap album I’ve heard in a very very long time.

The Big 3 of Post 2016 rap (artistically not commercially) are Denzel, JID and I think Peggy technically counts
I love JID aswell as Zel. But Really dont understand how JID is getting 30 Mil a month and Zel only 8.
first person other than me that ive heard him say hes underrated. The mans flow changes are unrivaled, he burned everyone on that 2016 freshman list.
Being underrated is the Sacrafice he had to make to be independent and have full creative control. He’s not signed to a major label taking all the profits and control his image

JID, Denzel, Black thought and Kendrick for sure dropped album of the year. 2022 was a good year for music.
Walkin is my favorite rap song to release this year. I have replayed that track so many times. It really helps me stay focused whenever Im feeling low
when i think of 2010's hiphop, i think of tyler, kendrick, ye, & denzel. people really need to start putting respect on his name as one of the best rappers atm
He isn’t the best “rapper” at the moment though
no j.cole and kendrick is wild
Unlocked and mmesyf are the two projects that PROVE zel is MAAAAAD underrated
Unlocked is arguably my favorite album/EP of all time, i dont even skip the interlude track theyre all bangers
Man I resonate with this analogy fully. I've been telling friends about how Melt My Eyes See Your Future is an excellent album but I keep getting a mild response. I feel like Denzel is a bit of a niche hip-hop artist who excels in doing his own thing, you either like it or you don't.

Listing to "please forgive" if you like denzel
I appreciate the Lupe fiasco kick push song in the background
JID....
Westside boogie....
Joey Bada$$...
The goats are becoming underrated
Joey not so much I wouldn't say... personally I think
He is a monster and can go against the greats
Sirens is amazing
Saw him at Leeds festival and he was like the second act of the day, which usually means the act is small time. My god he had the crowd going like he was the main act of the night. Was the first rapper I ever saw that had an actual mosh pit.
He hasnt been underrated since he dropped Imperial...
zillakami is underrated too, but his style of music is very specific so it's hard to reach a large audience for him
In my eyes he’s undefeated. Never released a single thing that wasn’t good
I not sure this guy understands what the term “underrated” means
Loved Denzel since the beginning, great video man!
Thanks a lot
I agree with you on Walkin', I listen to it every morning on the way to work, it is super motivating!
If you see this, listen to '13lood in + 13lood out". Talk about underrated. The ultimate hidden gem of his discography.
I heard Kick Push play in the beginning, and you immediately had my attention
shoutout lupe
Never listened to a single DCurry song but for some reason I respect him a lot
the same effect with his friend IDK. wayyy too overlooked for the skill and bangers he drops
Man I’ve been in love with denzel for 5 years now and he legit does not miss. Def underrated
Walkin was my favourite song of the year
He's up there for sure
Unlocked Album with Denzel and Kenny Beatz was iconic! Surprised you didn't talk about it 😭
Taboo is phenomenal, nobody talks about it enough and it confuses me
People gotta talk and listen to Curry’s music when he was in Raider Klan especially with the help of SpaceGhostPurrp I’m the real fan.
denzel curry is my 2nd favorite rapper right now, thanks for making this video lol
thanks for checking it out
Best new artist is crazy ontop of not even getting that. should’ve been nominated for taboo too
great video man, im always glad to see denzel get recognition as he’s easily a top 3 music artist for me
For sure... shoutout to Khaled
no love for unlocked
basically
Shoutout to BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT!!!! that tape is my fav DC project
Fun fact, ski mask the slumpgod is on the cover of Imperial before he was famous
Denzel is one of only a handful of newer rappers I listen to. But even in saying that he's probably in my top 5 all time rappers. His flow and beats are top notch and can listen to him for hours on end.
Melt is of my favorite albums of the year. A masterpiece. We need more Denzel & JID
Denzel Curry is my favorite rapper
I feel like Denzel Curry is falling into a spot similar to MF DOOM or Aesop rock being underrated but so influential and critically acclaimed by juniors peers seniors and everyone that's actually in it
I genuinely never knew Denzel curry made ultimate so his music did a full circle for me because now I’m a huge fan of him
walkin' is my song of the year so far
One of the best out right now
As a curry fan didn’t realize that was him on ultimate
Bro imperial the album that got me into rap, that tape is everything to me
Denzel Curry doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody. He has not had one bad album. He is a top inspiration for me in terms of concept, artistry, and energy.
When i saw him live last month i became a bigger fan he killed the show, and is a great artist to see live, and his openers were crazy. He is slept on fr

Cuz metal elitists are all white 🤣 no wonder they hate hip hop same as when R&B music was introduced white people hated it
I honestly don't think he's underrated. He can come off as a corny rapper. He's in his spot.
Imperial is my favorite album ever
I love how we talk about underrated rapper while playing over a lupe beat! Mad respect!
Denzel can rap with the best of them
Dende and marlon craft are really underrated. Everyone knows denzel and he doesnt even drop heat every song unlike these two above
nah im actually so happy to be following zels journey fuck i love the guy
Also songs he’s doing in collab with other artists have been insane lately. His flow on GOATED. and on Talk about me were both insane
Curry is super underrated and keeps getting better with each release!
Walking is the best song imo as well. Like it's his culmination of his skills and talents to make a truly badass song and one that I listen to frequently
Walkin is like my 3rd best song this yr for me
@@KingBenny what's the other two if you don't mind me asking?
suprised he didnt talk about unlocked, i honestly thought some of his best songs came from him working with kenny
when he said "got Ms all on my belt/ feeling like I'm Majin Boo" I could feel my mind reaching new heights
Lmao
TA13OO is one of my favorite albums
In the words of the dad screaming about Lebron “THAT’S WHY HE’S THE GOAT!…..THE GOOOOOAAAAT!”
I actually wonder what game was making him yell like that.. I think it was 2018
Denzel is a beast
Zenith is a masterpiece
the kick push by lupe fiasco in the background is amazing
Love lupe... someday ill make a video on him ngl
Long story short, denzel basically says that even thought there’s different sections of the album, “Everything that I see, yeah is Taboo.” On the light side of the Album, the opening line, “Welcome to the darker side of Taboo.” Which contradicts things, because taboo is everywhere.
I still remember the first time I heard Denzel, ultimate was on one episode of on my block on Netflix. I just remember it going waaaay too hard
I honestly quit looking at underrated or overrated as a whole. It's either good or bad, I could care less if it's popular or not
Its sad that even in a video about denzel his imo best album 13lood 1n + 13lood out isnt mentioned. Yes i know it never got released to streaming services (exept Evil Twin with ZillaKami) and is super raw but its still a masterpice.
He's an absolute GENIUS 💯
Nostalgic 64 was a legendary album by Denzel. My fav album of all time period👏🏽
Saying the tapes don't matter is crazy can't lie
People just don’t recognize good music anymore. I’ll make them.
