At one point, Danny was living life very fast and unpredictably. That’s why it makes me happy to see him at age 40, happy, healthy, making music, streaming and running Bruiser Brigade. He’s an elder statesman and I feel like we don’t have to worry about seeing the crash and burn that comes with rockstars. He made it. 💐
He was living life fast? That reminds me of.. “Living life fast, seen many die slowly Unhappy when they left so I tried to seize the moment Funny how it happens who ever could imagine Jokes on you but satan the one laughin 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹”
I think XXX is one of the greatest hip hop albums of the 2010’s and honestly one of my personal favorites of all time. Danny is goated, as a fella and an artist.
I remember when Danny spoke about Melon to ASAP Rocky back in the day in some Noisey interview, cool to see it come full circle. Love mans energy, good dude.
I'm so glad to see Danny brown in such a comfortable place. One of the greatest rappers of our lifetimes and he's made so much incredible music it's not even funny. But at this point more than ever in his career he doesn't have to prove anything to anybody. Anyone that's a real hip hop fan in the last 15 years knows this man is special.
Easily one of the most complex, creative, unorthodox and unique artists I’ve ever heard.. I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen Danny live five times since 2012. Easily one of the most animated artists. The growth has been incredible to witness. Awesome job, Fantano. Salute.
There actually are a lot of albums like these, it's just those albums that didnt really catch up to the audience. Maybe it's just essentially, too unique music
@@akuu193 That’s a great way to put things. I agree. There’s a ton of artists who are 100% themselves and don’t need to follow trends. The real music heads find them. Salute.
@10:20 Fantano, you put me onto so many experimental black artists that I would've never found through any streaming recommendations or word of mouth from fellow African American, experimental hip-hop listeners. Keep up the good work!
I love how they mentioned DOOM (I mean of course they would) but just knowing Danny went from listening and not understanding to being a feature with DOOM on an Avalanches song is an amazing perspective
XXX is my favourite hip hop album of all time, out of hundreds and hundreds that I love. I've never known another project that has so much replay value...and the creativity, lyrics, flow is just...if you know music then you know how special it is.
I’ve followed Danny ever since I heard the hybrid on DATPIFF then I saw him in xxl , he’s always been himself and is an extremely important musician ... Danny brown is an example of being human , fucking up , going hard and development . .... Danny brown is an example of laugh through the tears and it’s meant a lot to my life for the past decade . Thank you sir 👏
Danny was a major, major fixture of the early 2010s hip hop scene for me. He was right there in the scene alongside A$AP Mob, TDE, Mac Miller, Odd Future, Action Bronson, Flatbush Zombies, Pro Era, the whole thing. And for what it's worth he's made some of the most memorable music from that era. I'm happy for him and happy to see the evolution of his life and career.
Been a Danny Brown fan since the Hybrid (my man N8 tha Gr8 put me on... shout out to the CUF). This man is a TRUE artist and a hip hop treasure. One thing that always really stuck out to me... you can tell Danny REALLY cares about people, for real. Even when he was selling drugs he understood how he was hurting his customers and wasn't okay with it. ("Looking like the world fell on her/and i pushed it"). Heart is literally bleeding through his music. He does songs about the most unglamorous but real shit ever, like "scrap or die." Pretty much any song where he's using his subdued voice is going to be an emotional journey.
idk bout anyone else but music changed my life n hella grateful for this n how accessible it is n my homie showin me his dads studio n just blew my mind n fell in love , played trumpet before haha ig shit changes
It was really funny how he says uknowwhatimsaying multiple times while talking about making the album with q tip. And finding out that he was actually super fucked up at the time and being around the legend q tip contributed to him seeing a better path. Danny is such an genuine and funny person, and it comes out in his art.
Danny is such a cool and awesome guy. Just recently, I came across his art and it’s 🔥 I'm glad he's in a better place now I feel blessed to hear more from him. The interview and the way the conversation was conducted are also interesting and thoughtful. Thank you, Mr. Fantano
I do not at all have shared experiences of Danny, culturally, or other but the rawness and humility with which he created Atrocity Exhibition has been so comforting to me as I have been fighting my own demons this winter.
“i wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if i put out a hit song that i thought sucked.” that alone says volumes about danny’s character compared to a lot of artists out there rn
Such a fantastic interview, I loved it Danny is such a cool guy and that laugh is iconic. Unrelated but can we talk also about how funny it is chat has to be blurred out it's hilarious most of his twitch community are fucking nutty, genuinely one of the worst chats I've ever seen second only to imdontai of my knowledge
Fun Fact: This is his 5th time interviewing an artist he gave AOTY to (Robin Pecknold/Fleet Foxes, Tim Hecker, Alexis Marshall/Daughters, and either Lingua Ignota or Spelling who got 10s in 2021) Its the 9th if artists that got EPOTY counted (Milo, Rina Sawayama, Kero Kero Bonito, and Tkay Maidza)
That's so funny, I FINALLY got to listening to Atrocity Exhibition TODAY after putting it off for a long time and immediately after fantano uploads this lol
When he opened up about going to see Mac Miller and hearimg about him dying on the way there is fucking heartbreaking. I hope Danny’s okay. R.i.p Mac miller.
Danny is just sweet and great. Which isn't something that would be said as a compliment about a rapper, But i definitely mean it as a compliment, Glad to see him laugh and doing well. Appreciate the interview!
You think so? I remember it being unanimously acclaimed when it dropped. Either way it’s a fucking incredible album. Probably my favorite other than XXX
XXX is my favorite mixtape of all time. I’m happy to see Danny is one of the few rappers that made it through tough situations. He deserves his flowers.
Danny brown is a god damn legend. Drops classic after classic album and now hangs around top shelf comedians, and often times he ends up being funnier than them. Top tier human being
That is crazy the day Mac died he was going to the studio with him. I can't imagine how heavy that weighs on Danny. I never guessed two of my favorite artists were so intertwined.
Danny laughs like a prospector who has just found gold
best description of his laugh hands down

For sure, even what he said about not releasing a lot of music and preserving himself shows that

Danny Brown's laughter is one of the most wholesome things ever, it's even hard to believe it's from the same guy that made Athrocity Exhibition
It’s one of the most contagious I’ve heard 😅
Ikr
i made a track in 2k13 sampling his laugh. wanna hear it? also samples the movie KIDS 😝

Crazy how it went from him asking you to review his work to you wanting to interview him about it. He has really come so far, love Danny.
Fantano,
You need to tell Danny that 30 is by far a legendary Hip Hop song. Brings me to tears every time I hear it.
my favorite song of his. that last verse is so powerful.
@@ffwlpe The passion in his voice gives me absolute chills.
Nah frfr. Shit majorly classic

His vocal range on that song... the lyrics... the fuckin horns on the beat. So good.

That’s how I found Anthony
I still watch that noisy interview that o terries might just the single funniest interview I hav ever seen!

this episode is a gem. not really an interview but just two buds chilling and having a good time.

Damn this was probably my favorite interview so far, so genuine and interesting. Danny’s the goat and interviewing skills keep getting better
Danny is GOATed for playing Persona 5 on stream
I can’t help to smile every time Danny laughs lmao his laugh is so contagious
Danny Brown, for me, is one of those rappers so iconic that each one of their albums feels like a moment in time.
I can’t tell if this is Fantano’s best interview or if it’s just Danny Brown being the best human
Perhaps it's both!
i love the contrast in colors between fantanos setup and dannys
“XXX” is a timeless album much love to danny brown !
