i was in the bus on the way to the campus while hearing this, jpegmafia and danny are on whole another game, i was so blown away. Peggy must be one of the most talented producers of these 2 decades.
6:00 danny is saying this not as a “bring back the good ol’ days where autotune was everywhere!”, but more as a meta-referential quip on the idea that most mainstream listeners are not going to be used to this abrasive and abstract style/aesthetic. i understand and share the sentiment that this line was a little corny, but not because it sounds like an “oldhead boomer” take, it sounds more like a “we’re unique and edgy” take
I also think that whole is song is irony or satire and is clowning on all the people who unironicly think they are not "like all the other boys" because they have a "unique music taste".
From what I understand Danny was having a hard time with alcoholism at the beginning of the project and it was difficult for them to get through songs. Part way through the project Danny was sober and was able to deliver much better (this is at least what I heard from one of Dannys podcasts). The songs definitely reflect that imo, and its cool they left the songs as they were rather than re-did them after Danny stopped drinking.
That's interesting, but also 90% of Danny Brown's music was made from the depths of addiction & alcoholism (same thing). It's obvious if you've listened to XXX, Old, Atrocity Exhibition... Or watched the "Ain't it Funny" video. His struggles with substance use are tightly intertwined in his music and his success at it. His whole career comes off bittersweet and tragic because of it. I do hope he can finally get past it for good, it's very difficult.
I actually find myself really enjoying the muddy mixes on this project. It feels like a revival of DIY in that they are less focused on the studio level mix, and more into focusing on the creativity and heart of the music. I also will never pass up an excuse to focus on Jpegmafias revolutionary production. I also want to throw in that while some songs are absolutely imbalanced in terms of danny and peggys verse lengths, but i genuinely appreciate when artists have the maturity to step back and let their collaborator take the forefront on a song that they feel that person rocks more than they would.
Pinning the shoddy mixes on a "DIY aesthetic" doesn't really erase them for me. Both of these artists are extremely detail-oriented, which, for me, pushes it from "potentiality intentional" to just plain weird. Edit: I did really enjoy this album tho, definitely an AOTY contender for me right now.
it’s just inconsistent though. it sounds like half of the songs were recorded completely separately (and far worse) and than others. I think once the hype dies down people will be far more open with the albums downsides.
Yeah I don't really get why one would watch a rip on UA-cam and then complain about the mixing. I was also disappointed by lean beef patty when it was released, but the album version on Spotify fixed any issues I had with it.
Just heard this album. I'm with Brad, this is awesome. I don't have a ton of expereince with Brown or JPEG, but Scaring The Hoes is such a unique, versatile, crazy project that does so many things and succeeds at all of them, supported by stellar production, great vocals, and unique lyrics. My personal favorite tracks are Lean Beef Patty, Fentanyl Tester, Garbage Pale Kids, and Jack Harlow Combo Meal. Also, Hotel Ugly just released their new album, Ugly Duck. Check it out, it's really cool!
@@ImpendingRiot83 you're confusing ghost pop tape with dreamcast summer songs. dreamcast summer songs is the album that's credited with "inventing vaporwave" and was released the same year as floral shoppe (2011)
I think Danny's inclusion was good but I really wanna see a Denzel Curry + JPEG project. I feel like Denzel's rapping would be so fun over JPEG's mixing. I mean they could even do some triple threat and throw JID in there that would be too good tho.
@@RegisteredLate123 to get to "that level" you have to literally shape and warp the game through the artist's work, and both Kendrick and Ye have done that. Peggy hasn't
Poet nerd conspiracy theory: this album’s mixing and production are completely intentional. And they’re done that way to actually highlight and elevate Danny, who Peggy is pretty open about deeply admiring as an artist. The mixing makes you keep seeking out Danny’s vocals. I remember being super off-put by them the first time I heard this album, especially for the first few songs. By the middle of the album Danny’s voice is what I was always listening for! I feel like on almost every beat, Peggy figures out a way to draw you in to everything Danny is saying, and creating moments of frustration with the mix so you wanna hear him again and again. Which I was doing completely by “Steppa Pig.” And then Kingdom Heart Key is just this beautiful sonic ritual where two older gens of rappers hold up this young artist to shine light on his taken. I kept replaying this song to hear redveil. Anyway, that’s my goofy, artsy theory ✌🏼
God Loves You is the best beat on the record. Maybe even the best song. It blew my mind and has soooo much soul. I haven’t felt that way about a track in a minute.

The mix on this record isn't to be pushed aside. This album is undeniably amazing, but a mix this spotty coming from two extremely detail-oriented artists such as Peggy and Danny is just plain weird.
brad's massive expectations of the album clearly having some negative impact on the listening experience, or maybe he feels obliged to have nitpicks idk. this album is dope and i just enjoyed the ride
I like how Peggy takes production styles from all of his past 3 albums, you can hear the instrumentation from LP! On many songs and other songs have the melodies from all my heroes are cornballs, and a lot of the songs are just as experimental in their sound as veteran. I think this was intentional as he also brought back the producer tag from veteran and the “I like jpegs” thing from cornballs. You can totally listen to every beat and locate exactly which Peggy album or even song it has the same style and instrumentation as.
This kind of reminds me of IGN reviewing the latest Call of Duty or Mario game where they just endlessly point out its flaws then give it a 9.0 and say “it has a little bit of something for everyone”
For me Lean Beef Patty was perfect as a lead single, my expectations were sky high and it basically tempered them, especially with Danny kinda taking a back seat in the project overall which is what we heard on LBP. Not saying I'm disappointed or this is the best they could've done, but it's more of a vibe than some huge groundbreaking collab.
This album is ridiculously good. It’s like ADHD-core but so well put together. The fact that a song will switch beats like six times but they all work together is just really enjoyable and keeps you interested waiting for what’ll happen next
the main issue i have with this album is how little it feels like a collab. danny never returns for a second verse and there's never a back and forth. It almost feels like a jpegmafia album with posthumous danny brown features
i think this ended up way better than her loss on a colab level its much more balanced peggy has slightly more but its not like drake with a couple great and mid 21 features
“The jack harlow chicken” and the “bitch like the army” line among others just gave me real laugh out loud moments at my first listen! Just that alone is hard to do and deserves some credit. Balls to the walls album, not too familiar with either Jpeg or Danny but enjoyed this a lot!
important to mention is that jpegmafia produced this with an SP404 rather than a DAW. obviously with the magic of modern sampling there's a lot he can do, but the fact that he was using production tools from 2005 shows how insane this album is
"Where the auto tune at" is meant to be sarcastic. The whole concept of the song is how they keep making songs that are "Scaring the Hoes". So in line with that concept, Danny Brown is calling out main stream cliche tropes, such as auto-tune. He's saying it as if he's a main stream rapper, "yo, where the auto-tune at?"
@@ts4858 Why? You like the fact that most modern main stream hip hop is drowning in unintelligible auto tune garble?? Yaaaay! Please make my hip hop sound like two robots are fucking inside of a washing machine!
My expectations were too high for them to be exceeded but I knew that going into it. I love this thing regardless but I should’ve had more realistic expectations
I’m predicting a strong 6, I hope it gets a better rating than that but I don’t think it will since it’s got such rough mixing (even tho it’s a great stylistic choice imo)
Yeah i kinda think the same, Willing to bet he gives it anywhere from a strong 6 to a decent 7. Based on his complaints about LBP dude probably gonna be a little disappointed seeing as how most the album does feel like JPEG tracks with Danny as a guest rather than a two way 50/50 collab, Which I'm totally fine with tbh cause Peggy always kills it, But i guarantee Fantano will take issue with this, He's a huge JPEG fan but he's also a huge Danny fan as well and Danny's high pitched vocals sometimes not meshing together quite right on Peggy's production is gonna bother him. Overall I think he's gonna enjoy it but guarantee he's gonna nitpick the hell out of this thing lol
Much of this was done on a 404, which apparently compresses vocals into the rest of the mix aggressively. That said, this is gonna be hard to top for aoty for me.
Even though some awful pop songs have come out this month, today alone we got Peggy x Danny, Quinn, and Navy Blue off the top of my head so that makes up for it imo
also I'm sure Brad has realized already but I wouldn't review leaks since the streaming version has at least minor differences and better mixing 90% of the time
based for the quinn mention, even if i didn’t rly like the tape that much tbh. shoutout to feardorian for the prod credits tho cool to see bro getting more recognition
I did not understand Danny's "Eat that ass like Canibus" line before, but after looking it up, i have to inform you guys that this might be the funniest line ever written, and i urge you to look into that too :)
I completely agree with your take about how this sounds like a fucked up 80s movie. Some of the tracks here (RTJ, WYGYCF?, etc.) sound like something straight out of pulp fiction. Makes me picture Peggy and Danny in the roles of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson.
its weird hearing someone say Danny doesn't shine on this project. which i never heard this mix until now, also, where his vocals are a little diminished, i guess, but i thought he had the most standout parts of the album like over and over again lol.
Was so happy to see this project drop, JPEGMAFIA is always a joy to hear and Danny Brown is so versatile and skilled. Really loved this album, Peggy's production keeps getting more insane and impressive. Crazy, fun, absurd, already on repeat
At first I was gonna say something about Brad not listening to the album on spotify and that the youtube version was gonna ruin it, but nah just some minor mixing differences. Fantastic album Once you embrace the madness of the music its just a flawless tracklist of bangers
i think retrospectively, had this album not had danny on it, it would've suffered for that. regardless of mixing or placement, danny really is the cherry on top of the album and some of the top moments are his moments, like Orange Juice Jones, God Loves You and the Outro song
I seriously disagree with your take on Danny Brown. His flows are on point as always and matches these beats PERFECTLY. Especially the most chaotic songs like Where’s Ya Get Ya Coke From? and Run The Jewels. I found Jpeg also blends into the beats a lot, for example on Burfict! he is DROWNED by the beat and both sound more like instruments than a centre focus
Peggy's sample game is crazy on this. Remember how Danny talked about how much money he had to spend to make Atrocity Exhibition? I think we need to hold Peggy accountable as an enabler
My favourite song on this album is Garbage Pale Kids, it just has the most Danny Brown 1-liners and I'm all here for it 😭 also the production goes hard & Peggy's flows are insane
Off first listen I definitely liked it, loved tracks such as garbage pale kids, burfict!, and kingdom hearts. But after second listen everything just snapped into place for me. Even tho I do wish Danny was mixed better on some tracks, it didn’t take away from the overall amazing experience. Production is out of this world. 9.5/10
I've never heard so many complaints for an album you ended up giving a 9/10 lol

its weird hearing someone say Danny doesn't shine on this project. which i never heard this mix until now, also, where his vocals are a little diminished, i guess, but i thought he had the most standout parts of the album like over and over again lol.
"blah blah blah the mix" -🤓🤓🤓🤓
Its great but aahhh the mixing🤓🤓🤓
hey new zealand here you're welcome
Please react to Lana Del Rey’s new album
Was so happy to see this project drop, JPEGMAFIA is always a joy to hear and Danny Brown is so versatile and skilled. Really loved this album, Peggy's production keeps getting more insane and impressive. Crazy, fun, absurd, already on repeat
I listened to that yt upload and the mixing was dramatically worse than the one that peggy himself uploaded
Classic whiny Brad review 😞
25:00 glad my awful super chat made the vid
Gotta say, I was not expecting to hear the Escaflowne theme sampled in a rap song.
At first I was gonna say something about Brad not listening to the album on spotify and that the youtube version was gonna ruin it, but nah just some minor mixing differences. Fantastic album
Once you embrace the madness of the music its just a flawless tracklist of bangers
24:55 "They need to buff Danny's mix in the next patch." 😂🤣
i think retrospectively, had this album not had danny on it, it would've suffered for that. regardless of mixing or placement, danny really is the cherry on top of the album and some of the top moments are his moments, like Orange Juice Jones, God Loves You and the Outro song
Wow perfect timing. Just searched to see if you had posted :)
I seriously disagree with your take on Danny Brown. His flows are on point as always and matches these beats PERFECTLY. Especially the most chaotic songs like Where’s Ya Get Ya Coke From? and Run The Jewels. I found Jpeg also blends into the beats a lot, for example on Burfict! he is DROWNED by the beat and both sound more like instruments than a centre focus
Steppa Pig is literally my favorite song on the album
steppa pig sounds like something that would be used in minecraft letsplay intro
had this on repeat all day at work. about half of that time was just replaying Kingdom Hearts Key
I've know redveil personally for about 3 years!
is he cool
Mixing shmixing. It’s punk baybeeee
This is the best cover art of the year
100%
This review felt like it was leading up to a 7/10 and not a 9
Cause it was a low 8 and after multiple listens it was changed to a 9
0:48 im still waiting for the 5 hour long ronnie radke interview
This album grows on me everytime I relisten through.
Run the jewels should been longer man
Amazing album. Eagerly awaiting the disappointment of Fantano's 6/10 rating
EDIT: Hot DAMN, am I happy to be wrong!
Fantano will give it a 7 or a 3
I swear to god if Fantano gives this a lower score than that godawful Yeat album...
ayo a new black eyed peas album dropped
wow and brad loves it
ppl saying the micheal jackson sample song is a filler?!?!?!!?!? crazy LMFAO
Its okay if you don’t like this album, Peggy is dropping 2 more this year 😁
Agreed, awesome album, I was able to grab a vinyl
!!
I’ve heard people call this “TPAB for neurodivergent people”
Peggy's sample game is crazy on this. Remember how Danny talked about how much money he had to spend to make Atrocity Exhibition?
I think we need to hold Peggy accountable as an enabler
Calling your viewers "hoes" and sending threats to them just so you can scare them for 27 minutes straight doesn't count as a review, Brad
My favourite song on this album is Garbage Pale Kids, it just has the most Danny Brown 1-liners and I'm all here for it 😭 also the production goes hard & Peggy's flows are insane
my fav track was either burfict garbage pale kids or fentanyl tester. That guitar riff in garbage pale kids is so awesome imo.
When the burfict horns came in creamed
Danny Brown carries hard on the rapping front upon further listens
Jpegmafia NEVER MISSES! he is a god
alr bro
glazing
Off first listen I definitely liked it, loved tracks such as garbage pale kids, burfict!, and kingdom hearts. But after second listen everything just snapped into place for me. Even tho I do wish Danny was mixed better on some tracks, it didn’t take away from the overall amazing experience. Production is out of this world. 9.5/10
ive watched this like 6 times
This album is perfect
Yeah. The title track is the only one I don't fully click with, but otherwise, awesome!
