*Click here to go back to the beginning of the countdown* *Click here to go back to #25* It’s taken me a while to become a Danny Brown fan, you could even say I’m not fully there yet. While he doesn’t necessarily have the rhymes that typically draw me in to most rap music, his style,…

*Click here to go back to the beginning of the countdown* *Click here to go back to #25* Looking at the track list to this album on paper, I initially thought it was going to be a disaster. 10 out of the 12 songs had guest features, and with only a couple exceptions, most of…
