His gleeful love of words not only elevates some pretty heavy subject matter; it also helps distinguish XXX as one of the most compelling indie rap releases in an already strong year.

XXX is by far one of the most compelling albums I've heard in a while. Danny Brown may have an annoying voice to some. If you can get past itXXX is by far one of the most compelling albums I've heard in a while. Danny Brown may have an annoying voice to some. If you can get past it (I certainly did), you really do get some great music. Lyrically, Danny isn't a wordsmith. But he is oozing with personality, humor, wit and compassion. The production is minimalistic for the most part and it kinda reminds me of Lil B's style of production. But Danny sounds right at home on some of these songs like I Will, Radio Song, Lie4, Outer Space and Monopoly. These songs don't rely on MBDTF style production to get a reaction out of you. They rely on Danny's lyrics to convey the message. And what's the message exactly on this album? Basically, that Danny Brown is a 30-year old, drug abusing weirdo. But once the song DNA hits, the album turns a new leaf, Danny is rapping in a much more quiet voice and he talks about how his drug abuse has been herreditary and that it runs in the bloodline. The next few songs have him rapping in that voice and a lot more somber production. The last song has him rapping in his higher pitch where he's pretty much having a meltdown, he's taking more pills and trying to OD. That's how crazy it is, Danny Brown isn't really glorifying drugs in the same way Lil Wayne glorifies codeine. He just says that this is part of his life and he has no choice but to act that way. This album is funny, witty, tragic, strange and overall a blast to listen to. My only gripe is that the middle kind of drags a bit. But overall, this album is great. And totally worth looking into.…Expand

I like it.
I wasn't really that into it until I got past his voice and realised how many great songs there are on the album. The beats go hard on the first half to match Danny Brown's crazy shocking lyrics and they're really spaced out on the second half to match the melancholy lyrics about drug abuse. Brown has a few memorable lines throughout. Ironically I can only remember one at the moment; "you've got no clue like a toy store without board games". Maybe not the most impressive wordplay ever but it highlights the Adderal Admiral's weird personality. I don't know wether I love it because of the fact it's a concept album or because of how unique he sounds or because of any number of reasons but I find myself returning to it on a daily basis.
