“Then I went to jail and then once I came out of jail I already had the mindset….” Jail to rapping to betting “your whole life” on making it out there in the game. Danny Brown is a tough mo-fucking emcee. On the microphone he’s testing wack emcees, spilling about his sixteen-year-old aspirations come true and swishing around a near-finished shot glass. Oh, and chiefing buds too. XXX his upcoming album isn’t some crap-ass mixtape, nor is it NSFW. It’s his damn job and he’s 30. “I’m going to be 60 and I’m going to be buzzin’ bars because I don’t know what else to do.” Hopefully he keeps that haircut until then too, shit’s crazy. [via]
