Background

Denzel Rae Don Curry is a rapper from carol city, florida, He was made popular by florida rapper SpaceGhostPurrp. Denzel Curry'sTA13OO is Denzel Curry's third project, his others being 32 Zel and Imperial. The album is split into three parts or "acts", the first being Light(The Beginning), the second being Gray(The Middle), and the third being Dark(The end). The first three acts represents the three stages of his life.

Track By Track Review

ACT 1

TA13OO:

This is a nice and melodic song from Denzel Curry, has a nice beat and has a vibey but catchy hook. In the song, he welcomes the listener to the lighter side of the TA13OO as this is the first track of the first act(light). This song talks about molestation and he talks about a girl who was grown up suffering horrible abuse. In an instagram post, Denzel Curry reveals that he was also a product of child molestation. Throughout the song, he talks about her not being innocent from the age of 5 and that he offered her a shoulder to cry on. Overall, this is a great opener to the TA13OO album.

13LACK B13ALLOONS:

BLACK BALLOONS is track that features R&B artist Twelve'len and rapper GoldLink. In this track, he makes a lot of references to the 2017 horror movie "IT". An example of an reference is "Taboo and I are on the same boat, what's said from pennywise, i guess we float". He calls the girl from the previous track "taboo" and talks about how they are very similar. When I listened to the album the first time, I couldn't figure what the black balloon represented. I looked on genius, and they said that the black balloon represents "pain" and was shown in the clout cobain music video.

CAZH MAN1AC:

CAZH MAN1AC is a track about all the money that Denzel Curry has made in the past few years. It also slightly shows the suffering that comes with all this money. In this song, Denzel Curry makes a lot of pop culture references including B-Rabbit, Peter Grffin, and Aladdin.

ZUMO:

ZUMO is the last track of the light part of the album. The track is produced by Charlie Heat who have previously produced songs of the life of pablo . The first line of the track is him saying that his pockets are too big and comparing them to a sumo wrestler.

​

This song has one of the catchiest hooks in the album, and production might be at a all time high for Denzel Curry.

ACT 2:

ZUPER ZA1YAN ZUPERMAN:

ZUPER ZA1YAN ZUPERMAN is the first track of the gray act. In this song, Denzel Curry compares himself to the super saiyan from the popular show Dragon Ball Z, which is the unstoppable form that the main characters turn into. Denzel Curry is trying to say that hes's unstoppable in his rapping skill.

ZWITCH 1T UP:

In this track, he talks about mental health as the hook seems like its alluding to bipolar disorder. Also in this song for a small part, he talks about the new rap generation that does anything that will create hype. Overall in this track, he addresses all the mental health issues he's seen in his life.

MAD 1 GOT 1T

This song is the first song that starts to switch to the darker side of the album as this song feels more moody and has a more depressive tone compared to the other songs in the gray section of the album. In this track, he talks about how his popularity has ruined relationships with his friends because of their jealousy.

Z1RENZ:

This song features JID, the up and coming rapper from J.Cole's record label Dreamville. In this song Denzel Curry talks about politics in America. He goes into issues such as police brutality and gun violence. This song is one of personal favorites as I love JID's part and also denzel curry's chorus.

CLOUT COBA1N:

CLOUT COBA1N is probably the most popular song out of all the songs in the album because of its catchy hook and beat. In this song, he makes references to the late guitarist of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain who died from suicide. He talks about how some rapper's clout could be a downfall to them.

ACT 3:

THE 13LACKEST 13LALLOON

In the first track of act 3(dark), Denzel Curry talks about his family. In this song, he talks about his brother, who was tased to death by police. In chorus of this song, he talks about how his death felt like a "horror movie" because it didn't feel believable. He even sets up the next song percs, by talking about anti depressants and how they could cause school shootings. This song really feels moody compared to the previous song as it's the first track of the dark act.

PERCZ:

In this track, he talks about how he doesn't need percs unlike other rappers in this current generation. This song is mainly made to adress the new rappers and how they pop xans and make music videos with cole bennet to be big. This song sounds the most cold blooded out of all the songs in the album due to his anger fueled voice throughout the track.

VENGEANCE:

This track talks about violence thoughts towards his enemies and even talks about getting rid of the body by putting it into cement. In his chorus, he talks about wanting revenge and mainly talks about the things he wants to do to his "enemy".

13 M T

This track is also a very cold blooded track. The chorus is alludes to his song "ULT" from Imperial, his previous track. The song seems to take a style like the style from his most popular track "Ultimate". Overall this song is a very good outro with very strong bars and sick flow.

​

Conclusion/My Thoughts:

Overall, this project is very ambitious and honestly one of my favorite albums to listen to. In this album, he talks about every aspect of his life including family, money, friends, and also other rappers. I think the reason why this album was overlooked by many people is because Denzel Curry doesn't do anything that catches people's attention outside of his music

'Surviving R. Kelly' Executive Producer dream hampton: 'I'm At War With R. Kelly'

Posted: 03 Jan 2019 09:20 AM PST

Interview

Here's some excerpts:

The six-episode Lifetime series tells the story of the R&B singer through the experiences of his accusers, including his ex-wife Andrea Kelly, who shared allegations of pedophilia and physical and sexual abuse perpetrated by the singer that span decades. "We have evidence of him raping underage girls, which is what sex with underage girls always is," hampton said of what's presented in the docuseries.

"There are whole systems in place: housing, runners, rules," hampton said. "There are women decades apart testifying to the kind of rules that they were subjected to living with this man, dealing with this man; there are hundreds, probably thousands of tapes made of them [by R. Kelly] without their permission. He's also deeply manipulative; these are women who didn't know each other, 20 years apart, and they'd be talking about being made to sign false confessions and he'd say, 'This is my insurance that you don't hurt me the way these other women have hurt me.' So, I knew we were dealing with someone that we may not want to dismiss. He's dangerous," hampton said.

But when hampton asked longtime collaborators and friends to speak on-camera for the docuseries, many of these highly influential people declined.

"John Legend was the only one," who participated, hampton said. "I asked Jay-Z, I asked Mary J. Blige, I asked Lil Kim, Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle..." But they all said no. "I mean, most people just don't want to touch it. I remember Ahmir ["Questlove" Thompson] was like, 'I would do anything for you but I can't do this.' It's not because they support him, it's because it's so messy and muddy. It's that turning away that has allowed this to go on."

'Surviving R. Kelly' premieres on Lifetime on January 3.
