Danny has released many free projects over the web, the most popular being 2011’s XXX. Brown released the album "Hawaiian Snow” with G-Unit’s Tony Yayo and several mixtapes (Detroit State of Mind 1-4, Browntown, It’s A Art (with producer Mainframe) and Hot Soup). Brown has found much success on the internet through the support of the music blogs and social media and the decision to release “The Hybrid” online as a free download.
Danny has worked with many artists in the Detroit hip-hop community such as the late J Dilla, Black Milk, Elzhi, Guilty Simpson, Trick Trick, and T3. Also known for championing up-and-coming artists, Danny has worked with lesser known acts such as Oakland, California's Main Attrakionz and is know for promoting these types of underground acts via his twitter.
Brown spent most of the summer of 2010 touring with G-Unit, and a few months later released “Hawaiian Snow” with Tony Yayo. Due to lack of promotion the sales were disappointing, however through the G-Unit connection Brown was able to experience firsthand the rigors of touring and the workings of the music industry as a whole. The experience served to jade Danny to the concepts of being on a major label and committing himself to appealing to an urban audience who he felt rejected him because of his look and style of dress which consisted of skinny jeans and vintage tees as 50 Cent refused to sign Danny Brown to G-Unit because he didn’t approve of his distaste for baggy denim. No longer concentrating on appealing to any particular audience, With this new found freedom, Danny delved into making more experimental music based on influences like UK Grime and Progressive Rock.
His experimental sound melded with traditional street narrative has brought about attention from progressive press such as Pitchfork.com, Fader Magazine, Spin Magazine and the like but no press more satisfying than making the cover of the Detroit Metro Times, his hometown’s alternative art’s and culture magazine.
Danny’s music later found a home on Fool’s Gold Records, the independent label helmed by internationally heralded DJ A-Trak and his partner Nick Catchdubs. The label and the artist having the same mindset, the two parties are now focused on releasing his upcoming projects, a free album that released Summer 2011 entitled “XXX” and his untitled Fool’s Gold records debut coming subsequently after.
His albums that followed also received positive feedback (Old, Atrocity Exhibition, U Know What I'm Sayin?).
He then sadly dunked on anyone else who had the misfortune to drop in the calendar year 2023 by dropping album of the decade Scaring the Hoes Vol. 1 with JPEGMAFIA on March 24th. It tragically received praise from disgraced music reviewer the BallDrop, but contrarily to this otherwise mark of disgrace from the worst person we all have the displeasure to be aware of, the album actually fye asl.
You know he had to go two for two on the DLC of Scaring the Hoes on the sacred national holiday of 7/11. No skips all Ws and is not mixed like shit for the "aesthetic" anymore, and JPEGMAFIA dodges the corny allegations by making Danny audible. Great news all around.
On October 17th, he began the rollout for his highly anticapted sixth studio album with the single Tantor (fire as fuck).
Outer Space
Danny Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(It makes you feel like you're there in outer space)
(Beneath the seas)
It's the Adderall Admiral
Writing holy mackerel
Your bitch say my dick long like the strap on a satchel
I took me a capsule with no hassle
A prodigy like bullets that hit your left clavicle
Melt sweat suits and paint the avenue
You have no clue like toy stores without board games
But when I paint pictures, I'm dipping brushes in war paint
(Meet the future face to face) woo
I'm a mothafuckin' mothafucka
Fucking on your mother with two rubbers, I do fuck her
No cover just her booty on a pillow (uh)
Your bitch said my dick tastes like (what it taste like?)
Tropical fruit Skittles
I am bumping Bill Withers (Withers)
Swishers on Schwarzenegger (aah)
Matter fact, nah nigga, they on Boa Constrictors (yeah)
They'll choke a nigga
These niggas ain't rappers (rappers)
They mothafuckin' characters
Caught your baby momma horny then I stuck a carrot in her
Then you made a salad with her, ate it for dinner (ah)
I don't want that skinny bitch look like that ho from Thinner (Thinner)
Swore she played soccer, she was real good with headers (header)
Had me yelling, "Goal!" (Goal), while I was sitting on the dresser
Give the bitch a hat trick, smoking on the cat piss (smoke)
I keep the bitch wet, around you she's a cactus (style)
I got them Penis Poems for your Vagina Monologues
Love a feminist bitch, oh, they get my dick hard
So no apologies for all the misogyny
I just want your company to come and watch some porn with me
My oral orchestration causes manipulation
The way these hoes be chasing though I had the tongue of Satan
But I just gave 'em dick to get more for conversation
Why you niggas tricking, giving your obligation
You safe havens, I'm Wes Craven with X cravings
Fuck a bitch mouth until her fucking face cave in
Hidden cams in her house, I caught her masturbating
Extorted her for the cash, now your ass paying (nigga)
You Captain Save-'Em-ass nigga (nigga)
I don't give a bitch shit but hard dick and liquor (yeah)
So, so nice to meet you, I hope that you safe
(Meet the future face to face)
(Stop)
(It makes you feel like you're there in outer space)
(Beneath the seas)
The opening line of "Outer Space," "Meet the future face to face, it makes you feel like you're there in outer space, beneath the seas" sets the tone for Danny Brown's typical abstract and unconventional style of rap. He comes in with rapid, cocky delivery backed up by a beat that sounds like something extraterrestrial. Danny talks about his proclivities for Adderall, sex, and porn while incorporating many references to different types of fruit, technology, and weaponry.
He describes his drug intake as "taking a capsule with no hassle," which amplifies the idea of ease and nonchalance about drug consumption. Danny's lyrics about sex are often explicit and certainly almost offensive to some. He tells the listener about his sexual endeavors with different women and how he takes no responsibility or feelings towards them. He describes himself as a predator, "[he's] Wes Craven with X cravings" and "fuck[s] a bitch mouth until her fucking face cave in."
Throughout the song, Danny Brown also uses the imagery of paint and feathers, playing on the theme of artistry. He says he is dipping feathers in a castle and dipping brushes in war paint to emphasize his style and uniqueness. Additionally, the last line of the song, "Stop", contrasts the overarching theme of fast and aggressive approach that characterizes the entire song.
