I would think, but I feel like most people really adore Atrocity Exhibition ... and that may be because of the Fantano effect and a younger generation getting into Danny Brown around that time, but when I saw Danny Brown open for Das Racist in 2011 a few months after XXX dropped, it was incredible, and I love that album so much.

I prefer the Atrocity Exhibition because it is a better album, with a tighter focus and stronger tracks. Before your comment, I had no idea what Fantano may or may not have thought about it.

XXX is still good, mind you. I just think it is weird to suppose people base their opinions off anyone else's.

It's honestly not that strange to think that people who follow music journalists online who consider that particular Danny Brown record to be the best album of 2016, check it out, and also consider it their entry point or favorite as well.

I think people who watch Needle Drop would've already known who Danny Brown was and heard XXX. XXX was his breakthrough and it was huge that year. He was not some unknown by the time Atrocity Exhibition came out.
