Genius Annotation

This song divides Danny Brown’s Old into two sections: Side A (the songs before this, more experimental hip-hop) and Side B (this song and further, upbeat electronic-fueled bangers).

Danny explained in an interview w/ NPR that this particular song was the bridge between sides A and B of the album:

I had too many different types of songs at one point in time. It was like, “How am I going to be able to put all these type of different songs on one album?” So I ended up finding one beat that I felt like married it together… That was “Dope Song” by Rustie ‘cause it was a — you could consider it to be a trap, but it has a 30-second intro and outro and the song is only two minutes in general. It’s only like one verse and the hook, and then an eight-bar verse and the hook, and that’s straight punk rock to me though.
