Danny Brown - uknowhatimsayin¿
If there is an overarching concept behind uknowhatimsayin¿, Danny Brown’s fifth full-length, it’s that it simply doesn’t have one. “Half the time, when black people say, ‘You know what I'm sayin',’ they’re never saying nothing,” Danny Brown tells. “This is just songs. You don't have to listen to it backwards. You don't have to mix it a certain way. You like it, or you don’t.” Over the last decade, Brown has become one of rap’s most distinct voices-known as much for his hair and high register as for his taste for Adderall and idiosyncratic production. But with uknowhatimsayin¿, Brown wants the focus to lie solely on the quality of his music. For help, he reached out to Q-Tip-a personal hero and long-time supporter-to executive produce. “I used to hate it when people were like, ‘I love Danny Brown, but I can't understand what he's saying half the time,’” Brown says. “Do you know what I'm saying now? I'm talking to you. This isn't the Danny that parties and jumps around. No, this the one that's going to give you some game and teach you and train you. I've been through it so you don't have to. I'm Uncle Danny now.” Here, Uncle Danny tells you the story behind every song on the album.
