Danny Brown – The Hybrid (2010)

1. Greatest Rapper Ever: 5/10. Alright intro for the debut album. Showing some aggression and funny lyrics.

2. Need Another Drink: 4/10. Not a fan of this beat. Don’t like how he flows on it.

3. New Era: 6/10. Love the beat. Feels anthemic, but a little long.

4. Exotic: 4/10. Didn’t mind the feature. Some hilarious bars but did not like the flow, very nursery rhyme-like.

5. I’m Out: 5/10. Nothing really stood out but the hook got me singing.

6. Re-Up: 6/10. Loving the aggressiveness and flow.

7. Nowhere 2 Go: 5/10. Again, nothing standing out.

8. Shootin’ Moves: 6/10. Head bobbing track. Some fun references.

9. The Nana Song: 5/10. Not a fan of the sample but the concept and verses go hard.

10. Guitar Solo: 6/10. Don’t like the actual guitar solo but love the concept.

11. White Stripes: 4/10. Again, do not like the beat but the verses are hard.

12. Juno: 7/10. Love the sample. Similar concept to Guitar Solo but love this move.

13. Thank God: 6/10. Fun, slightly sad storytelling. Still sweet in some way.

14. Drinks On Me: 4/10. The little guitar riff is very distracting and offputting to me.

15. Generation Rx: 6/10. Love the concept. Especially knowing the Danny I know, it’s very interesting to hear this perspective and know his trajectory.

16. S.O.S.: 5/10. Laid back flow with another Cutty reference.

17. Cartier: 6/10. Hilarious concept.

18. Great Granddad: 7/10. Noxzema shout out. Some hilarious lyrics, dirty beat, and great cadence.

19. Lincoln Continental: 7/10. Waka and Gucci adlibs? Fun lyrics.

Overall Mathematical Score: 5.5/10

Does the heart agree?: Yes. This did not feel like the debut album. The Cutting Room Floor felt more put together and clean.
