LET'S ARGUE: Danny Brown's Voice Is Annoying 

LET’S AGREE: the editing and humor of this video series is only getting better and better

Danny Brown has the voice of an angel

I used to think Danny’s voice was annoying, however it slowly grew on me. He also switches it up on songs like Tell Me What I Don’t Know

the fact that Danny Brown sounds like "Tell Me What I Don't Know" and then sounds like "Really Doe" is part of what makes him so good

Danny’s laugh is honestly S tier Can’t wait till next Tuesday for the next pod

Danny's voice is the best part because it can instantly turn off anyone who isn't going to enjoy his music anyways.

Danny Brown's laugh adds a day to your lifespan and that is a scientific fact

Danny brown's voice is similar to westside gunn's voice. They are super unique and instantly stand out on a track they are featured on. I for sure would have not liked them back then due to their voices but i like them a lot now

I have never been more attracted to Anthony than when he was explaining blackened death metal

No fuckin wayyy man. Danny has a few different voices he uses in his songs. 1) Aggressive (Blunt After Blunt) 2) Obnoxious/joking (Shouldn't Of) 3) Soft spoken (Party All the Time) I could see someone hearing a couple of his songs, maybe listening to his podcast and thinking his voice was annoying... But ya gotta give the man some credit. His voice is more versatile than a lot of rappers out there imo.

The first time I heard danny browns voice I couldnt decide on laughing or hating it. Think it was his verse on Hey Kids. But the more I listened to him the more I got used to it and the more I realised hes crafted his own unique sound. Love the guy now, his internet presence has only made me appreciate him more

Danny’s voice was annoying for one to two tracks when I first listened and then it immediately grew on me. So unique and cool

What's crazy to me is that Danny Brown's low-pitch voice is so good too.

I can see the comparison between Snoh Aalegra and MJ to an extent, Aalegra has certain vocal inflections in her mid range similar to Jackson's midrange. but the overall timbre even in that midrange is hardly mistakable (yes, even with your eyes closed)

2:26 Big props to the editors. That was the hardest laugh I had all week

Danny Brown’s voice is so soothing and delicate, his soft voice is comforting to the ear

Danny browns voice used to turn me away from enjoying his music when I was younger, but now that I'm older and have expanded my musical horizon even more, I appreciate the uniqueness and creativity he has alot more than I used to. Danny is dope.

2:35 the funniest part about this take is that the co-producer of Watch The World Burn (Tyler Smyth) has literally made music for the soundtrack of several recent Sonic games, including Infinite’s theme and Find Your Flame. Just saying, maybe this take is way more accurate that you think 😂

Prince's halftime show was incredible. Still a medley but he brought a furiously fun energy that stole the spotlight of the whole event. Plus dude did an unforgettable cover of the foo fighters that NO ONE saw coming

i can tell anthony had a lot of fun making this episode. love the energy on this one :)

6:08 The Cyber Grind is an endless wave shooter set in a modular, highly-configurable arena. Most enemies from the main game also appear in the Cyber Grind, including some bosses Come on, Anthony, it's common knowledge!

To be fair, the whole point of musical genres is to broadly group together songs that have a similar sound or a similar composition (like the guitar bass drums of rock) and when you go back 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. years the only similarities that hold up across the pop genre was it being music that appealed to the lowest common denominator

A Cybergrind is the bonus arena mode in Ultrakill. But generally yea, I'm firmly in the camp of "genres are stupid" . As the internet has opened up musical spaces to diversify but letting riskier more experimental stuff to get to the surface they become progressively smaller in the range of artists they catch.

I liked Danny's vocals a lot in The Hybrid and XXX era cos he was flipping in and out of his yelping stylings on the same track. When he brought out Old he sort of separated out the two styles into front and back halves. He also changed his flow up completely as he moved away from more 00's punchstyle rapping. I think while he got more 'technical' he sort of lost some of the flexibility and expressiveness in his delivery post 2013. When I saw him live his vocals were completely blown out as well because he was trying to rap in that turnt to 11 tone the whole way through the set. His music is still good but it's not as wildly brilliant as it was 2009 to 2012 or whatever.

Dannys voice and especially his laugh is angelic i love it makes his music even better

I love his voice actually. It feels almost nostalgic for some weird reason

Danny is similar to Cypress Hill in terms of timbre of his vocal rapping style on most of his music, I get that it's a love or hate type of sound but his skill is undeniable. Also he's absolutely hilarious, check out his podcast The Danny Brown Show it's great

That was a pretty funny cavity joke Anthony. Feeling a strong 10 to light 11.

Danny Brown is an acquired taste worth acquiring. Much like Death Grips, you probably won’t like it at first, but after a while it clicks, and then you’ll know...

Nothing is wrong with Danny Browns voice.if anything I miss rappers who's voice in this case quite unique who I can actually hear. Also it helps alot with blocking outside noise with the noise canceling headphones. Also I heard songs on his album and he doesn't sound that way you think he does in ALL his songs.

I can see how people think his voice is annoying, but I love it I find it cool af. I used to kinda feel that way years ago, but now I LOVE it.

The editing absolutely killed in this video

As a fellow Metal lover, i just appreciated the break down on "Blackened Death Metal" Thanks Anthony! Can you tell me what "Post Metal" or "Post Punk" is?

imagine publicly outing yourself like that. DANNY THE GOAT

At a time I thought Danny's voice was annoying, it's an acquired taste that becomes part of the appeal because mf is one of my favorite artists now

that last one really resonated with me. I'm going back and listening to old rap rn, and i've piled up so much stuff from videos or my friends and i dont have a lot of time to listen and focus on an album properly

You don't actually disagree with the PhD guy. He was just presumably tired of pop music not being ascribed specific categories and people being unaware of how broad a term "pop" actually is

Let’s argue: Danny trolling Chance Wilkins, aka Cyraxx, is his finest work in years.

Danny Brown’s voice is so enjoyable, i can’t imagine Burfict without it

Danny brown is a national treasure!! His podcast is also fucking hilarious

Anthony I know you dismissed it, but I tried the Snoh Aalegra thing and if you close your eyes and picture Michael Jackson singing, it legit kinda works

LETS ARGUE: Anthony should start putting lets argue on the community tab.

You attempting to "explain" death metal just proves the guy's point.

Closing your eye’s definitely changing how things sound and vice versa. Ever been driving with someone who needs to turn the music down when they’re looking for a house or a turn that’s coming up?

They say the annoying voice thing about so many vocalists I like - Björk, Billy Corgan, Alanis Morissette, Courtney Love, Geddy Lee to name a few lol. Often times they just don't like the style of music or the tone of their voice and they equate that with being a "bad singer" which just isn't true.

This is not like a criticism and I don't mean to come off as someone who is looking for things to be mad at but the guy at 8:00 has some pretty serious sexual allegations against him right now, just a heads up.

Danny browns voice has put me to sleep, made me stop crying, made me crying, made me laugh, and so much. Thank you Danny browns voice 🥲

You get used to it very fast and realize he has good raps. Its not anonying just different lol I like his deep voice raps are cool too

I feel like you either love Danny Browns voice or hate it. I would play Danny Brown all the time in college and my roommate couldn’t stand it. Also have a friend that hates Lil Wayne because of his voice. 😂 Rappers with really unique voices can be very polarizing.

LET'S AGREE: Melon should start putting timestamps on his lets argue/agree vids.

I like it and when he switches to his "normal" voice it sounds so dope. In The return ft Freddie Gibbs his flow is smooth as hell

I’m not a big fan of Danny brown’s atrocity exhibition because his voice gets really grating for me but I do like his voice when he does features with other artists because of how unique it is, I also enjoy xxx and haven’t heard his other albums yet

I always enjoyed Danny Brown’s voice. Especially when featured in a song with multiple artists (for example 1train) he’s one of those artists who has such a unique voice where you KNOW it’s him. Can’t be replicated.

Danny Brown's voice is very flavorful. Work on your palette if you can't stomach it. You're missing out otherwise

It's true. His OLD album was mixed properly to hide the annoying moments, that's how it always must be done.

For just being carbon monoxide poisoning, he’s pretty good at rapping.

let's argue: anthony fantano is actually the mustache and he took control of this poor guy's body

Metal subgenres are pretty easy to understand even for a newcomer. I mean if I said "industrial death grind" you can easily break that down into "death metal with a more industrial sounds and some Grindcore influence" and that's not that hard to understand

Danny's voice is awesome. It's unhinged

Pop isn't a genre, it encompasses certain genres throughout eras.

This is the closest we have gotten to a thatistheplan video in quite some time. Thank you melon.

I always thought Danny's voice is really funny. I enjoy his music and I think sometimes having to chuckle at his voice along with some of the absurd lyrics just adds to the enjoyment. That doesn't count the more deeper songs he has where he really tones it down.

Danny Brown’s voice is perfectly fine imo. I’ve always enjoyed it and how he can switch it up on songs like Clean it Up or Tell me what I don’t know. He also has an amazing discography so

When I first heard Danny I wasn’t a fan of the voice but now I love it lol

I've been forcing myself to listen to his albums again and again in the last few days so I could get used to the voice and enjoy the peggy album😭😭

Danny Brown's voice *should* be annoying, but he pulls it off well. His voice reminds me of blue cheese.

it's what makes him original.Dannys voice is great

"...smellin' like cool ranch Doritoooooos!" Danny Brown is a dulcet toned poet.

Re: French electronica, I'm waiting for Melon to talk about L'Imperatrice. Their album Tako Tsubo is a masterpiece from start to finish.

i think his voice is what makes atrocity exhibition so good

Wasn’t expecting so much praise from Fanthony Antano for the new “Falling in Reverse” song by the GOAT Ronnie Radke who made such bangers like “My life is like a video game” and “why do good girls like bad guys” but he was spitting straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

i love the danny brown party bangers, Dip? Dubstep? Smokin and Drinkin? Kush Coma? but low key songs like Lonely and Clean Up where he uses a very subdued ‘normal’ voice are some of my favorites

Danny has the most nasally, shrill voice ever and it's awesome.

Almost any song can be improved by envisioning it as a theme song for Shadow the Hedgehog

Pop music and popular music are completely different things. Pop music, in my attempt to define it, is music made with the intention to be catchy, widely accessible and generally (but not always) unchallenging, almost always in verse-chorus-verse structure, while popular music is basically every genre that started since the widespread popularity of recorded music that you don't need formal musical training to make, including Pop, Rock, Dance music, Hip Hop, Metal, r&b, etc.

The fact that we talked about the French saving Electronica and there was no mentions of Jean-Michel Jarre, like bruh they've saved us THREE times!

danny brown has the voice of an angel.

Lets argue, you need to upload these way more often

I would like to know your take on Japanese OBI strips & how artists charge more for records packaged with them

I have always found Danny's voice a bit abrasive on the beat, and it made me not ever want to look into his music all that much, but his voice is perfect for comedic riffing and I would recommend everybody to go check out The Danny Brown Show!!

Definitely wasnt expecting Anthony to be almost a foot taller than me when I met in IRL a couple of years back

As a french canadian, I take this as a call to action. Tous ensemble, vers l’avant!

You completely forgot to mention that the French saved electronic music a third time with David Guetta!

Danny Brown could Rap over my Alarm clock and it will still Sound dope. He can Rap in every beat, which is a talent in its own.

3:03 Taylor Swift does this everytime with every release and it's just pandering to her wild cultish stanbase, there are entire video essays and articles about how she's affecting vinyl production and distribution with her shenanigans. And then we get surprised why she carpet bombs the charts with every album

Danny Brown's weird-ass voice on the Gorillaz track 'Submission' is how I got into rap.

I'll even take a French Canadian at this point had me rolling

Anthony said the word “anal” twice in this video

I love Danny Brown's voice. Reminds me of Adult Swim for some reason.

Danny browns feature on submission from humanz is one of my favorite songs from the album. But I can’t act like it isn’t an annoying voice lmao.

A lot of my friends say the same shit about Danny brown and it bothers me so much 😂

Danny Brown is the songbird of my generation.

that last question was really thought provoking i wonder who asked it

Danny’s voice is one of the best in hip hop

I'm not a fan of Danny Brown's voice, but I don't think that it makes his music worse. People just confuse "I don't like this" for "it's objectively bad."

Danny has one of the best laughs in the world.

Danny Brown is the Karen Carpenter of our generation.

I'm pretty sure Danny Brown sang at Fozzie Bear's birthday party last week so i'm pretty sure that makes him a good singer

7:27 hasn’t this already been happening with L’Imperatrice (tbh I still think they need to touch more international listeners for this to be better known)

The halftime show is nothing more then a break to go on a beer run.
