“Experiment so much it’s a miracle I’m living,” Danny Brown unapologetically exclaimed on his appropriately named and critically acclaimed 2011 breakthrough, XXX.
Since his explosive fame began, Brown has officially established himself as the most uncouth rapper in the game. He gladly sports a haphazardly constructed hairdo, he is missing a front tooth, and he rhymes constantly about experimenting with offbeat prescription drugs — i.e. Adderall and Xanax. While a crazed female fan recently fellated him on stage, it’s unsurprising that he continued rapping as though such an incident was somehow a part of his outrageous lifestyle.
“Kush Coma” rolls, so to speak, all of Brown’s extremes into a weed-induced nightmare. Its bass thumps like a racing heart of a drug-addled psycho underneath shrieking synthesizers. The track’s beat is almost revelatory in the sense that it entirely legitimizes what Brown raps.
But not even the man who claims to have been “smoking blunts since high school” can escape this hellish experience. “My forehead’s sweatin’, my eyelids heavy, feeling like I ain’t goin’ make it,” Brown says after smoking copious blunts filled with codeine, molly, and whatever explicit substance is within reach. Even reading the description opens one’s eyes to such a horrific display.
“Kush Coma” isn’t so much a bragging statement but rather an autobiographical account. Brown clearly couldn’t give less of a fuck about public relations. He legitimately wants listeners to gain access to his “Kurt Cobain type of mind frame.”
Doooooooooooooooooooope!
