Danny Brown Drops 'Side A' Off 'OLD', Releases Teaser For New Album [LISTEN]
Danny Brown has had it with so-called fans who don't want him to grow and change as an artist, and he lets them have it in "Side A," a new track from his upcoming album Old.
Whoo. Brown scorched the haters, essentially asking "Are you guys only happy if I'm broke, unsuccessful and in danger?"
Check out some highlights:
They want that old Danny Brown
To bag up and sell a whole pound
Might have to go and get my braids back
Matter of fact, go and bring them AKs back
...
In the kitchen, oven open for the heat
Got my young, white-skinned ho rollin' up the tree
Wearin' jackets in the house, it's the Michigan way
Boiling water on the stove, Ramen noodles for dinner
...
Standin' on the baseline, Scottie Pippen pivot
Needles in they arms just to keep the lights on
Shit, fuck around, be on hardcore porn
Tryna get this shit off, the winter, we snuck in
Won't live for anything, but might die for nothin'
(It helps to know that "baseline" is Detroit slang for 8 Mile).
Danny Brown even went so far as to name the album in honor of these fans who only seemed happy when Brown was struggling. OLD both acts as a reference to Brown's age and a kiss-off to fans who don't want to hear anything new. The "Kush Coma" MC has also dropped a teaser trailer for the long-awaited release.
What do you think of "Side A"?
OLD drops September 30.
