16. "RE: Danny! - Payback Album Discussion" In response to In response to 0
After listening to it all day, here are some thoughts:
I love the Timbo nods, but dude definitely overdid it. I think this album does not really showcase his production skills as much as previous albums.
I'm disappointed "Silly Me" was totally scrapped, but at least he released it and it's available. The new myintrotoletyouknow is very dope though.
"Get Up" was my fav song on the original, I'm disappointed slightly by the new version.
"Speed" is just as good as the brilliant original version, and is one of my fav songs on the album.
"Keep Your Head to the Sky" got me through a lot of hard times these past few months, and I'm ecstatic that he didn't change anything about it. One of my fav Danny songs.
I think if I never heard the original version of the album, I would like this version more. I do think the OG version is better, but I'm happy it got released. I will say that I don't really miss any of the guests that were taken off the album other than John Legend and Talib Kweli. I just really hope Danny! gets more shine from this album. Dude definitely deserves it, and this album will definitely be somewhere in my top 10 in an incredibly strong 2012.
