Best Of Danny Brown 2012
We didn't see a mixtape or album release from Ol' Danny Brown this year, rbut that doesn't mean rrhe wasn't busy. He gave us plenty of material this ryear to hold us over til his highly anticipated rrfollow up to XXX is released. These are my 18 favorite Danny Brown singles, collaborations, and rrfeatures rof 2012. |
| 1 |  | Ab-Soul
Control System
Ab-Soul - Terrorist Threats (feat. Danny Brown and Jhene Aiko). This is probably
Danny's hardest hitting verse all year. "Cause I ain't got shit but an EBT card from a
fiend That owe me and it's in her daughter name." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?

| 2 |  | Evil Nine
You Can Be Special Too
Evil Nine & Danny Brown - The Black Brad Pitt. An awesome track with a hilarious
hook and a crazy beat courtesy of UK DJ duo Evil Nine. "Begging for the semen from
the demon with no tooth. Getting head in the back seat, reflection on the moon
roof." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3G-i7z_Ysc) |
| 3 |  | Danny Brown
OD
Danny Brown - XXX Deluxe Edition Bonus Tracks, also released as OD EP (Baseline,
Witit, Shouldn't Of). Decided to add these to the list because all 3 tracks are
awesome. here's Witit. "Bitch so freaky suck a dick through the drawers. Halls in
her mouth just to hum on the balls" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=zbrJCKzPZg0) |
| 4 |  | House Shoes
Let It Go
House Shoes ft. Danny Brown - Sweet. Some really harsh delivery here that sounds
like his older material. The music video is really cool as well. "Like the third little
piggy stacking up bricks. You the big bad wolf blowin on sticks"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f18n-Nm0ag) |
| 5 |  | RZA
The Man With The Iron Fists
Pusha T, Raekwon, Joell Ortiz & Danny Brown - Tick Tock. A real smooth, slow
track. Everyone's verses are great and they save the best for last. "Nigga I'm your
majesty, show up with a bag of weed. Rolled a blunt so perfect, thought it came up
out a factory"(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1471AIFWus) |
| 6 |  | ASAP Rocky
LongLiveA$AP
ASAP Rocky - 1train (Feat. Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown,
Action Bronson & Big K.R.I.T.). Yeah this hasn't even come out yet but i'm including
it anyway. Danny is great here, but amazing verses from Krit and surprisingly
Yelawolf kind of outshine him. "Bitch pussy smell like a penguin. Wouldn't hit that
shit with my worst enemy's penis." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?

| 7 |  | Araabmuzik
Instrumental University
Danny Brown & Araabmuzik - Molly Ringwald. 2 min of Danny going crazy over a trap
beat. what's not to like? "Poppin' pills get 'em brought to my door like Avon. This
that silk suede leather. Y'all niggas polyester and rayon
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9S74e1dLIs) |
| 8 |  | Darq E Freaker
Cherryade
Darq E Freaker feat. Danny Brown - Bluberry (Pills and Cocaine). Danny rapping over
a hard grime beat. "Now shake that ass for a hipster nigga. PBR we sippin'
nigga" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-92qAjbGDo) |
| 9 | | Danny Brown
Danny Brown - Grown Up. A nice change of pace for Danny here and my favorite
music video of 2012. "Scribbled in my notebook and never did homeworExplaink. Low
attention span, guess these Adderall worked" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=gkHFFBzhF0A) |
| 10 |  | El-P
Cancer 4 Cure
El-P - Oh Hail No (feat. Mr. Muthafuckin' Exquire and Danny Brown). Danny serves
as a great closer to this awesome track, but Exquire steals the show here with the
best verse I've ever heard from him. "I'm shitting on their writtens while I'm pissing
on their freestyles." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ed5osQYvU) |
| 11 |  | Childish Gambino
Royalty
Childish Gambino feat. Danny Brown - Toxic. A great track that samples the Britney
Spears track of the same name. Gambino can't quite hang with Danny though.
"Flow so pneumonia, yo bitch want my boner. I take her round the corner then I
gave the ho a bonus." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i9a1zzmMvk) |
| 12 |  | Heems
Nehru Jackets
Heems ft. Danny Brown and Mr. Muthafuckin' Exquire - You Have To Ride the Wave.
Really great beat here. Probably my favorite song off of this mixtape. "Smoking on
some haze got me looking just like 'em. Head in the hotel, watching Teen Titans"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gkCsd5XafE) |
| 13 |  | Purity Ring
Shrines
Purity Ring - Belispeak ii feat. Danny Brown. Definitely the weirdest artist Danny has
ever collaborated with, but somehow he kind of works over the electro pop. And
fuck yes, this has AUTOTUNED Danny Brown and it's insane.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpdyGFmct78) |
| 14 |  | The Alchemist
Russian Roulette
The Alchemist - Flight Confirmation feat. Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q. A fun
short track with 2 of my favorite rappers to hear on a feature. "Now I'm on some
bruiser, hair looking yakuza. Jeans extra tight and ya bitch got a ruler"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGEiaIgV7_4) |
| 15 |  | A-Trak
Tuna Melt
A-Trak feat. Juicy J and Danny Brown - Piss Test. Another bass heavy electronic
beat that Danny works really well on. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=PpllaoGUzDU) |
| 16 |  | MHz
MHz Legacy
MHz feat. Danny Brown - Spaceship. Interesting song produced by Harry Fraud.
"Fuckin hoes like my dick made of polyurethane." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=uOk3WFU5TVg) |
| 17 |  | J Dilla
Rebirth of Detroit
J Dilla feat. Danny Brown - Jay Dee's Revenge. Danny over a posthumous J Dilla
beat. Not sure if the rest of this album is any good, but this is a solid track. "And
teeth like this? And a face like this? It's like a sign around my neck that say 'I like
to lick clits'" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjbSRDtlOdo) |
| 18 |  | ASAP Mob
Lord$ Never Worry
ASAP Ant, Danny Brown, Fat Trel, & Gunplay - Coke and White Bitches. Can't have
coke and white bitches without Danny Brown. This is one of the better songs on
this mixtape. "Smoking on them cookies, dropping ashes on the Balmain. Ain't talking
'bout hooping, when she say ball game" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
