    For a project that could have held unreasonable expectations, it overdelivers time and time again. Both parts of the duo are on their A-game in equal parts.

    It's crowded, confusing, ridiculous music, but despite its scary intentions, the album's renegade production and impressive performances make it more exciting than frightening.

    Fortunately that art is unbelievably fucking dope, and that's mostly because of the significant drawcard of this production: the production. ... There is a level of hip-hop reflexivity here that I haven't heard since RTJ4.

    Like deciphering an ancient cassette tape, distorted right up to the point of destruction, Scaring the Hoes is, in fact, a little scary. And that's what makes it so compelling. The chaos makes way for clarity.

    I also really like the album, and I would give it 4 bags of popcorn.

    On Scaring The Hoes, Brown and Peggy sound great together while offering few artistic revelations. [May 2023, p.52]

    A bold, energetic collaborative record. ... If another project were on its way with a bit more polish and focus that would be ideal, as the two certainly have a madcap chemistry that deserves to be explored further.

I have not heard an album yet this year that took everything that makes an album, production, lyrics, cohesiveness, replay ability, and ramp it up to the highest. Some of the best instrumentals on this album are top notch. Burfict, the incredible horns and hard hitting trap drums make me want to destroy the world. But its not always hype, it reflects every human emotion in the book. Garbage Pale Kids has one the most unsettling beats that makes me want to squirm, and yes it did. God Loves You is easily my favorite tune on this entire album. The hard hitting base, the insanely catchy sample flip, the apsolutely mindblowing drumwork, Dannys performance? It's all top notch.

    One of the best albums of the current decade, and although it is no easy feet, it might be my favorite Jpegmafia album so far in his career, unbelievably beating All My Heroes Are Cornballs.
