About Dead End Hip Hop:
No scripts. It's pure unfiltered hip hop conversations and album reviews. No politics. No BS. We Are The People. 
Entertainment
I'm 100% sure Danny Brown can rap over any beat ever.
And Myke would be hyped to know they did make a mini-documentary!
w
definitely a must watch if you love the project
When Myke said “I wish I had a Danny & JPEG when I was 15”. Mans preaching.
“She letting anybody in she like the army” had me crying
Never catched that😂, which song was that on?
@James Westwood "Where Ya Get Ya Coke From?"
@Kae sound m8
@James Westwood “where ya get ya coke from?”
The production is sick on this. Hip Hop needs music like this.
Absolutely! Bring this kinda fire back
No trap drums. No boring verse, chorus, verse structures. Unique & varied bass? Not just spinz & zaytoven 808’s? Please god more of this
@Post Nut Clarity There’s some trappy drums, but the instrumentals are so eclectic and chaotic that you barely notice it. “Burfict!” for example is pretty trappy.
@Post Nut Clarity there's def trap drums
@Blu I.X. nah you’re definitely right. There’s elements that are almost Deconstructed Trap music. I just meant trap in its most common form but I def could’ve worded that bettwr
Rod sounded like someone discovering punk rock for the first time. "It's chaotic, but overtime you start to enjoy the chaos..."
This album will end up being a cult classic in ten years, definitely gonna be a top ten album for this year
If there was ever a “instant cult classic”, it’s this album.
@DJDevinstation I'd agree but for the masses I just thought to give it a lil more time
It's a cult classic now fs
Aoty so far lol
Oh it definitely will be a classic. What makes it great is I didn't know I wanted it but they gave it to me. Never heard rap like this.
Cant believe no one mentioned garbage pale kids, that beat and sample is crazy. Cant believe they even managed to rap over something like that
Hopefully this album will plant a seed in producers to start giving us more fresh & adventurous stuff. We so tired of these slidy 808’s, lex Luger hats.
Tired of getting excited for albums just for them to sound like they could’ve came out in 2015
Oh man. I'm sick of the DJ Spinz 808s used in every mainstream track too 💀
Shouts to Beezy for being so into production.
About time..
This is one of the WILDEST and most creative albums ever made!! JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown's chemistry throughout the whole album was freaking phenomenal!! Also, I personally think these are JPEG's best beats he's made!
Yeah easily his best beats
Someone needs to lock Run The Jewels, Jpegmafia, Danny Brown, and Clipping in a studio for like 6 weeks and just let them cook.
That's like a list of my favourite artists. I'm down for this even if we have to kidnap them all🤣🤣
If Vol. 1 was the last time Peggy’s using the 404 I can’t wait to see what kind of thing he’ll go for in a next volume. I feel like this is gonna be a series where he embarks on some of the weirdest and most left-field limitations and conditions he can think of.
This, exactly this! Would be a great connecting thread between albums.
he said that he's done using it in the album notes on Bandcamp
Scaring the hoes vol 2: made entirely on the ps2 using mtv music generator
I'd love him to use a tracker. Really get glitchy with his beats
@Kae What I mean to say is that every volume should be centered on using/learning to master a different machine.
I knew feefo wouldn't be on this one 😢 he wants none of scaring the ladies 😂
Feefo allergic to bars
You can tell that Feefo perfers that mainstream plastic autotune sound.
@Shuhei Hisagi which is needed in a group like this lol
It doesn’t bump in the whip
@KB Kingdom hearts key always bumps
This probably my biggest dream collaboration of all time. I've been telling dudes Danny top 5 rappers rn and Peggy is top 5, but in artistry. This really was how music can be when you go all out with no restraint. When you think about how much they probably paid for samples alone. They simply did this for the fans and that's the dopest part to me
Best part of the album is that it’s only volume one.
@Harmony Olivier Baker I saw that vol. 1 and almost caught the spirit lmao
peggy is like kanye but better at rapping and better at producing
@Jack Hedeman calm down
Shout-out Myke for fucking wit Danny Brown's podcast. That shit is PURE gold.
boof boyz
kia boiez
Every Tuesday we stay ready
This is the album i been waiting Peggy to make where hes able to bridge the gap of his more unqiue “weirdo” sound to a more accessible level and its masterful as hell. This is gonna be a lot of year end lists for sure especially with how much grows on you even though it still rips so hard. Good to see you all enjoyed it well
Danny Brown really is a bridge between the experimental world and the mainstream world. I hope Peggy gets more attention and success from here on out.
They finally made an album for Myke
the production on this album is absolutely incredible, i haven't heard anything like it. It's like if El-P and Odd Future had a baby and fed the baby cocaine for breakfast lunch and dinner and only let it listen to Metal and Death grips😂😂and that only touches on 40% of the influences you can hear in this chaotic jungle of noise I love it
I LOVE THIS ALBUM, it's my AOTY so far.
Same
Album of the year for me. Production is otherworldly. 🔥 Edit: album of the year so far. Danny and Peggy are both supposed to release solo albums this year so I can’t wait to hear those.
Man I love the fact I love this album. Reinforces why I love myself
Dope review. Danny brown was quiet but he had so many stand out moments. His flow on heaven on earth was next level.
“Embracing the chaos” is just a perfect way to explain being a Peggy and Danny brown fan
Can’t stop listening to this. The guitar sample on Garbage Pale Kids (lol) has been on repeat in my head since I first heard it
Peggy confirmed that it was him on guitar playing that guitar piece!
Same here, all day for the most part, lol
Shout out to everyone at Dead End Hip Hop for how passionate and articulate y'all are about hip-hop. Thanks for another great review. And also big props for how far you've come in terms of production value, even though I sometimes miss the "standing around in a parking lot" days lol
PS: This will probably be my AOTY, absolutely genius collab
This album is so dope, got it on repeat eversince it came out, Peggy really killed it with the production, Danny Brown was on fire, the mixing coulda been better on him but its better on bandcamp, cant wait for them to drop a physical copy
I’m so here for this album . Your right the more you listen it def grows on you . Genius production by Peggy (all on SP404) , really some next level shit and Danny just compliments the chaos so well . One of my fave albums so far this year for sure. Also totally dig the BandCamp title “404s and Headaches” 😂
This whole album is producer goals! Fun review as always, guys
it really does grow on you every time, I’m really loving this album from not getting it at first
Gald to see this channel review this album. I wouldn't say it is the best music Jpeg has made.
Other than that, Jpeg keeps topping my expectations with his great work at this point.
If he fails, I would cherish the art he's giving up till now.
Here's to the great music 🍻
Always nice to hear Beezy give his perspective as a producer. The beats on this album were crazy
They have a documentary out of them making this album. It’s on JPEGMAFIA’s Clip-Share channel.
Ask and you shall receive
I’m only 20 seconds in but Ken got the iPad out so you know he wasn’t scared
What does that mean? What does the iPad represent😂 ?
@Suavis' cat it usually means he liked the album lol
I wasn't expecting to like this album since I'm not a big fan of electronic music, but JPeg did his thing on this one.
Didnt watch any other reviews on this amazing project until this one, here we go.
Knew i was right, what a great review to compliment my favorite project of the year so far 💯 still have the doc to watch too! Man shoutout to peggy and danny for giving us this great experience
the samples on this album r crazy
Def one of my top albums so far this year, can't get enough
Love the review. A fave tracks section woulda been dope I like it when u guys breakdown lines/beats in those
The canibus line had me rewind like 5x laughing my ass off.
This absolutely blew me away. Every listen I got stuck on a track that I kept repeating
I'm surprised no one mentioned the only feature. Redveil was a great little highlight, and he also dropped an incredible album last year. Dude is def on the come up.
This was an amazing album, my AOTY... so far.
Production on this album is crazy. Garbage pale kids is one of the craziest beats I’ve heard.
"I NEED A B1TCH WITH LONG HAIR LIKE MYKE C TOWN!!!"
Still so sad Myke wasn't in the music video
Album of the year for me so far.
1. JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - Scaring The Hoes
2. Oddisee - To What End
3. Neak - Die Wurzel
4. ICECOLDBISHOP - GENERATIONAL CURSE
5. Skyzoo & The Other Guys - The Mind Of A Saint
6. AJ Suede & Televangel - Parthian Shots
7. Four Elements & Beyond - Clock The Chemistry
8. Recognize Ali - Back To Mecca II
9. Logic - College Park
10. Skech185 & Jeff Markey - He Left Nothing For The Swim Back
Geez a lot of names I don’t recognize at all. Just when I thought rap couldn’t get any more expansive
I want to hear more jpeg productions with other active rappers
I loved this album. Can't wait to watch the documentary. I agree with the mixing but I understand it.
How did none of y'all not have Burfict for favorite tracks? Shit is wild.
Omg, when Peggy comes in, shit getsme hyyyyyyped
Fav track. Easy.
Was thinking the same! I heard that song before the album and played the whole thing right away 😂
Danny Brown's rhyme scheme on that is crazy
best track on the album for me too
I’ve never felt addicted to an album before
i like it a lot. the production is closest to El P in my ears which is a huge compliment. i have no idea what the hell theyre saying half the time. folks seem to get mad when you mention that 🤷🏾♂️
Strong RTJ1 style rollout, I would love to see this have a similar RTJ run.
One of best of 2020s so far easily, JPEGs best album imo
My dream is to get reviewed by Dead End. I'm working on an album now and you guys reviews have always inspired me.
When Beezy mentioned that JPEGMAFIA used the 404s for the drums and they started making fun about it...that part didn't sit well with me. Should have allowed him to nerd out about it because that's one of the reasons this album is what it is.
At the top of my albums of the year list.
I was really curious how Danny would fair Jpegs production and he rode those beats !
AOTY BY FAR......PEGGY PRODUCTION WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD.....JUST A DIFFERENT VIBE THAT NO ONE ELSE IS IN.
Feefo and Rod are never going to be in the same room after the Jay-Z v Wayne loss
This album is like Watch the Throne for people who don't shower (mean that as a compliment)
Remind me of how this dude said "Jessie Reyez look like she stank but in a good way" 😂 which is funny af cause I agree
Best album of 2023 so far easily. My top 3 are Scaring the Hoes, UGLY, and This is why
Garbage pale kids just has one of those samples that digs into your ear as soon as it comes on, when the beat comes in it’s just magic
This album be scaring feefo apparently
Myke was right, the Clip-Share version of “Lean Beef Patty” is a different mix from the album version. Jpeg confirmed that before the album even released.
I think they updated the release with the vocal mixing already fixed but wasnt sure it made it out in time for this review.
That kingdom hearts beat is insane
Scaring the feefos
If you ain’t down with this album….GET TA STEPPIN
14:15 Mike is right actually they did fix the mixes for the album
Chat GPT on the beat machine is crazy Ken lol. Great review y’all, love this project
Yo Myke you might have already seen it, but they actually released a documentary of them making the album!
Im glad you guys did this one
Jpeg did fix the mixing of dannys voice on leen beef partty after the initial release so you are right myke. He even tweeted it
Danny's verse on God Loves You 😭
honestly i wish more hip hop vocals were mixed this way. it lets you lean into the song to try hear the lyrics more and the music brings you in more. the super upfront vocals we are used to are great for the first time you hear a record, but the lower volume and distortion on the vocals on this record make relistening to it way better
There's a song with Danny rapping over an Al Green sample hopefully it makes it on vol 2
I think both Danny and Peggy are mixed the same, but Danny typically enunciates his words strangely, so it’s harder to understand him. That being said, I still think Peggy should’ve mixed Danny higher for that exact reason. His mixing may work better for his voice, but not for Danny. Danny can never be backseat to any beat. Either he’s dominating the shit out of it or he’s oddly in harmony with it. You can’t just bury Danny.
Agreed. It doesn’t feel intentional to bury Danny.. it was clear after Lean Beef Patty was “fixed” that JPEG hadn’t mastered mixing Danny’s vocals compared to his own.
I think it has a lot to do with their voices being different and behaving differently in the mix. I'm not a producer but Danny's voice is higher so it seems to get more easily buried by the loud synths that are in around the same frequencies.
Only thing keeping this from being Myke’s nº1 album of 2023 would be the release of RTJ5, and that’s not even for sure.
“Off that CasaMigos, got her taco dripping on the floor” 🤣🤣🤣 fuckin love Danny Brown
When i ordered my cd i dont think they had the regular cover up they only had one with like tweets as the cover. I dunno if i should just buy the poster or the other cd with the regular cover since bandcamp has the trump/kim jong un cover😅
I feel like the ODB sample he did on ‘real nega’ back on veteran was a slight preview of what was to come with these sample flips
album of the year for me
SAME HERE!!!
I know this album is right up Myke’s alley.
We need more reviews!!!
JPEG did mention he was gonna fix the mixing in “Lean Beef Patty” before the release of the full project. Sadly the whole project was tough to hear Danny’s vocals.
Thanks for getting this out; Clip-Share been dry today! Still have to check this out
I swear Kingdom Heart Keys has the best anime sample flip ever
The thought of Ken listening to Steppa Pig makes me laugh
A lot of songs sounded more like a DJ mix where the vocals were from another track than the beat
I'm sure the bandcamp version sounds considerably different to spotify (but maybe I'm imagining things)
The Spotify version recently updated and the vocals sounds much clearer now!
the bandcamp album cover is crazy lol
They do have a documentary for the album
6:50 The album cover is great, but the alternate album cover on Bandcamp is even better.
I think the low vocal mixing was very intentional. My theory is that in the mixing process, they were basically just treating the vocals like any other instrument track and just mixed them to where they thought it sounded the best, disregarding whether you could understand everything clearly. They wanted this album to be about chaos and hard ass music. The vocals being mixed low, smothered by effects, cutting in and out, dipping from sidechains, it all just adds to the wild, chaotic vibe
Hard agree. Peggy a mixing genius. Every track feels alive, breathing, warping.
“Should be in a psyche ward for what i do with vocal chords!”
I'm so glad I'm not the only one confused by the vocal mix. I can't hear Danny's voice. Of all of Peggy's weirdo production tactics, I can't agree with that one.
Just realized in burfict danny said “like nascar nigga you better not go there” that was hilarious 😂😂
Everyone's chimed in about the Kelis sample, but I think if you listen closely on Fentanyl Tester, they also sample the wii music.
I must have forgot Beezy didn't mess with Peggy beats in the past! That's strange to me
8:50 finally someone acknowledged this. No one was talking about this
He did updated the mix on Lean Beef Patty. Your not crazy! 🤣
Myke rocking a Humanity is the Devil tee. I see you, bro!
