16.BarsTV recently caught up Danny Brown to discuss his yet-to-be titled debut album with A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold imprint. During the interview, he discussed his love of electro and grime music. He explained that he grew up around house music because his father was an electro DJ in Detroit, and said that he’s extremely influenced by grime as a result.
“My father was a house DJ, I was raised on that music so it was just ideal to be there,” he said. “I love playing those shows where it’s just me, the rapper, and everybody else is electronic shit, mores than just me being on a set with a whole bunch of rappers. ..to me, grime music is Hip Hop. I don’t see it [differently], it’s Hip Hop to me…grime is the reason I’m here. I wouldn’t be here; it totally influenced me, it’s totally is the reason I’m here.”
Danny also spoke on his relationship with Harlem upstart A$AP Rocky, who also directed the video for his song “Blunt After Blunt.” He said that his and Rocky’s friendship isn’t even based on music, and that it takes last precedence when they hang out together.
“That’s my brother [A$AP Rocky],” he explained. “A lot of this rap shit be fake, a nigga will send you an email [and] a beat, and then you rap, and that’s what it is. That’s my bro; when we’re hanging out, the last thing we’re talking about is rap music. If we make some music, it’s gonna happen organically, where we’re just in the studio and it happens. It’s like when we hang out, we ain’t tripping on no music…we understand each other ‘cus we all going through the same shit.”
Check out the full interview below.
Danny Brown needs to make an appointment with the dentist and get that fucked-up grill fixed then head to the barbershop and get a new hairdo. The fuck is this nigga thinkin’?
hes a crackehaed man ,, chilllll
^^^ Danny Brown has never done cracked. He’s said so in the The People vs Danny video on YouTube.
Instead of everybody talking about what he looks like why don’t you talk about this mans Music Catalog because it’s better than most rappers out now. Danny to me is the best rapper out right now or at least one of the best,dude has mad styles witty lyrics and content. No matter what he looks like he really knows about his craft and takes it seriously. And on top of all this he’s mad funny. If you need proof buy Hybrid and XXX or download Detroit state of mind 4.
I think it goes without saying that Danny Brown is not the best rapper out right now.
Danny Brown is definitely one of the best in the game right now no doubt
Everybody knows that A$AP Rocky is the corniest rapper in the game. He’s better lyrically than Wacka Flacka, but he’s way cornier. A$AP has never lived the street life which he talks about. He will be broke as soon as his signing bonus runs out.
I know you ain’t trippin on these no talent havin hatin ass niggas man. Keep doin ya thing. Highly anticipating anything you drop.
Fuck the motherfuckers who hate based solely on appearance. Danny Brown is one of the best rappers out right now no doubt. Get ya shit together HHDX, his upcoming album is his 2nd on Fool’s Gold.
