Old

"Brown's muses are easily separated, but they aren't mutually exclusive. He shows this in less intricate ways, as on "Dubstep", which takes sonic cues from the polarizing genre but more notably puns on its name (i.e., "I had them dubs on the step"). But the overlap is more subtle on the covertly depressive ASAP Rocky collaboration "Kush Coma". Being too rearranged to function is not something everyone views as a positive, after all, and Brown is getting old (haw!) enough to honestly survey all this debauchery. He's still a countercultural figure himself, veritably, but he's achieved self-actualization. Old won't let you forget it".

"Danny Brown's XXX was a concept album about desperation; "If this shit don't work, nigga, I failed at life!" he wailed on the opening song. Old is a concept album about existential confusion. Danny Brown has not failed at life-he's independently successful, with a fervent fan base both inside and out of rap. Now he's got to sort out how to best continue living. It might not be as dramatic a subject as flaming out, but it's more relatable to most of us, and it's maybe no accident that it resulted in the best and most resonant album of Brown's career".

"Som titlen antyder, er 32-årige Danny Brown allerede gammel. Og med uregerligt hår, en manglende fortand og hysterisk energi har Brown længe haft rollen som hiphoppens klovn. Men på ' Old' viser den balstyriske rapper med de lige så kaotisk energiske beats en mere reflekterende side frem ... Der er stadig masser af Browns sitrende vildskab, og man skal gøre sit for at lære hans abrupte stil at kende, men i den sidste ende er det de personlige linjer, man husker".
