Weekly updates


In case you missed it, and in case you’ve been stuck under a rock, Detroit’s favourite son Danny Brown dropped his long-anticipated new record Atrocity Exhibition yesterday.

This came after months of expectation, which included some next-level single releases in the likes of ‘When It Rain’ and ‘Really Doe’, which featured an insane trio of guests in Ab Soul, Earl Sweatshirt, and Kendrick Lamar.

Atrocity Exhibition was scheduled for release on September 30. However – in all of his oddball extravagance – Danny Brown decided to drop it a few days early.

Naturally, shit hit the fan. And when shit hits the fan where’s the impact zone? Twitter. We’ve been keeping an eye on the social media juggernaut recently and it’s fair to say Twitter (including the man himself) had plenty to say about the Adderall Admiral’s latest effort.

Here are some highlights.

Yes, you’re not dreaming. Danny Brown just created a new genre.

Not sure how I feel about Danny Brown being put in the same sentence as the guy who slapped Speeding Bullet to Heaven in our faces then called it a fucking day.

This is why you must always distinguish your “roommates” from your “friends”.

Attrocity Exhibition is the result of Danny Brown being strapped up in that eye-widening apparatus from Clockwork Orange, then being forced to read Nietzsche excerpts and watch Death Grips videos on repeat. If he wasn’t embodying creativity he’d be dead by now.

You can never be too thug to openly shed tears, just like you can never be too thug to post a screenshot of your album’s placing on the iTunes chart. Bless up.

I agree with the melon. From one socially inept music elitist to another; how do I genrify this? Browncore? Rapwave??

Honestly, when was the last time an artist told everyone to chill the fuck out about their new album? Furthermore, when was the last time you saw an artist urge fans to ignore the hype and actually take time to grasp the album’s message and form an impartial opinion?

This is the kind of artist who drops fire ass records and still gets mad as hell when Pitchfork give it a 9.2.
