Danny Brown posted several Twitter updates regarding drugs, depression and anxiety yesterday (February 10).
“I can’t sleep my anxiety is at an all time high but don’t none of y’all care about that shit .. Y’all just want me to be goofy,” Brown said in a Twitter update.
The Twitter updates also discussed Brown’s drug use, which he elaborated on. “Depression is serious y’all think I do drugs cause it’s fun … I would no other way to escape,” he said. “Nobody cares if I live or die .. That’s the bottom line .. Y’all want me to overdose just don’t be surprised when u get what u asked for.”
Brown deleted many of the Twitter updates he made yesterday and ReTweeted followers’ well-wishes. One of those Tweets of encouragement came from Andrew W.K. “STAY STRONG, DANNY!!! Keep on going!!! So we can party together again,” Andrew W.K. said on Twitter.
Brown released Old in 2013. The album released a 4 out of 5 X rating on HipHopDX. “Simultaneously targeting fanatics who believe Danny Brown can do no wrong and traditionalist skeptics who show up for highlights like the Oh No produced ‘Red 2 Go,’ Old requires the patience and empathy one would lend to a friend suffering from a bipolar disorder,” HipHopDX said at the time. “Its primary shortcomings stem from ambition gone awry (examples include the pop flair of Purity Ring on the off kilter ’25 Bucks’) and experimental beats that don’t necessarily bring the best collaborative efforts out of ScHoolboy Q (‘Dope Fiend Rental’), Ab-Soul and A$AP Rocky (‘Kush Coma’) to no fault of their own. Notable attempts to unmask Danny’s conflicted facade, ‘Clean Up’ finds him detailing the tolls that being on the road so often have taken on his well being and ‘Float On’ rationalizes his psychosis as the result of pressure to create compelling art. Whether the enigma of Danny’s ongoing identity complex is an elaborate ruse he controls in efforts of not being boxed in has yet to be determined, but the most exhausting aspects of his routine manage to convey an occasionally exciting tale of instability.”

lol this lunatic, stop using drugs
you’ll feel much better
its so funny when rappers delete their tweets like someone aint screen cap that shit already
I cant believe I let Nas down
I listened to your album, farted and shit my pants….swag
not a fan of the guys music but i just gained mad respect for him for keeping it real and being himself. so many rappers put on a act all the time and never show the public the real them.
It took a while to get here now I depend on these drugs.
i actual like danny brown. the black and brown with black milk i thought was pretty dope, but the “old” album, i thought he tried to go mainstream or something. wasn’t feeling it. Dude just needs to work with dope hip hop producers like alchemist and such. I really thought that black milk showcased what danny brown could do.
But on another note, what kind of drugs is this guy doing that he would overdose on? whatever it is, stop it.
So 25 Bucks = one of the “primary shortcomings stem from ambition gone awry???” WOW. That track is one of the best on the album if not the best. HipHopDX and its editors can suck 1,000 dicks and die. You pieces of shit ARE whats wrong and are fueling the fire to the wack shit going on in hip hop today. Would rather listen to officer ricky or young thug on some lying ass no originality bullshit than promote ART AT ITS FINEST. Eat me.
co-sign
I was thinking the exact thing as I was reading… wtf? how is that song a short coming to them
I hope he recovers from whatever he’s going through. Most entertainers are treated like machines that are expected by their fans and their record label to be a well oiled machine functioning at all times. I have considered killing myself many days. I haven’t done it yet because I fear it will break my mothers heart and I fear hell.
Danny if your reading this right now just hang in there man. It gets better if you have people to talk to.

He’s like Hopsin on drugs.
C’mon son ain’t nobody want to see you six feet beneath the ground on some Seymour H shit. Cut down on them drugs b. Spend some time wit ya fam. You a grown man nigga, pull yaself together.
Danny Brown is one seriously talented dude. Ain’t nobody care what old ass Nas have to say anyway, this nigga spending all his time on some pseudo-Rastafarian shit n drinking bogus ass Cognac.
I never really cared to fuck with his music but hope he recovers from this. Depression is a bitch and a lot of people don’t really understand it. Hope he finds the help he needs and gets it sorted out…a lot of people would kill to be in his shoes.
most people are fake and danny brown is real.. go listen to his old music if you don’t believe it. he has the realest rhymes i’ve ever heard no exaggerated bullshit in his lyrics
Don’t be ignannt… I know a happy white guy who likes to say “ignant”

He looks gay but hes music is fucking dope, I bought all hes albums, this dude got talent!
Eminem should sign this dude to Shady records!
SIgn to Em and end up like 50? No thanks.
yeah fuck being worth hundreds of millions thats lame.
Cant entirely blame Em for 50 falling off. He got blackballed out the industry for being too outspoken and fucking up too many niggas money.
Tell this bitch to kill himself and make room for real artists.

This nigga sucks n as weak as babyshit. Go ahead n kill yoself. Suburban ferndale ass nigga
His emo crybaby behavior is perfectly matched to his weirdo style and 12 year old kid before puberty voice. Dude is just an all around bitch
kinda like you but with money
Lemme get this right, he admits that all that was just a cry for attention but calls anybody who didn’t reach out fake? That nigga really is anxious.
The dudes kill me. They intentionally target the weirdo fan but then get mad because people call them a weirdo rapper. Drake does the same shit. His music targets girls and then he gets mad when people call him a girl.
dope fiend rental the best track on that motherfucker.
donald keeps it 100 all the time. mad respect for that.
