While production was originally helmed by an unnamed former ally, the final version of ''Where Is Danny?'' was entirely produced by Danny! and contains few known samples. Much like the lyrics, the sound and production of this album differs greatly to Danny!'s other releases. After introducing a style fusing [[jazz]] and [[lounge music]] with ''And I Love H.E.R.'', ''Where is Danny?'' relies on old funk loops, big band samples, children's music and even French noir soundtracks. Many songs end abruptly with [[field recordings]] from the 1950s, crowd ambience or industrial stock effects (such as a minute-long jackhammer sequence at the end of "I Ain't The Walrus").

Untitled

Danny!'s sixth studio album, previously known to the press as Project X[1] and later changed to Where Is Danny?, is the successor to the rapper's heralded And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The record—being marketed primarily as a lo-fi "anti-album"—is a milestone in Danny!'s career, as it is his twelfth release (amidst a vast catalog that also includes instrumental albums,[2] compilations and an EP) yet only his first for Interscope Records after being signed to the label for a little more than half a year.[3] Danny! mockingly alludes to this on Where Is Danny?'s "The Dozen Album Club", naming himself the "sole inductee" to the fictitious organization.

Where Is Danny? holds the distinction of being the first album in Danny!'s discography to not feature an image of him, his likeness (à la Danny Is Dead) or even his name on the record's cover art, opting instead to use the iconic "Pistol" by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein in an effort to not only assert his status as an artist but to emphasize the album's brash, "in-your-face" content;[4] the 2011 official release used an alternate "smoking gun" variant that was previously commissioned by Time Magazine for their 1968 cover story on the prevalence of guns in America.[5] Where Is Danny? has been confirmed by the newly-revamped VIBE[6] as being a sharp deviation from the post-Charm output that has since become Danny!'s definitive sound. In early 2009 Spin echoed VIBE's sentiments, reiterating that the record would be less of a departure from Danny!'s musical direction but more of a return to original form, sounding "[as] over-the-top as The Slim Shady LP a decade ago[7]".

Where Is Danny? would go on to receive overwhelming acclaim, ultimately winding up—much like his previous three studio albums—on the shortlist for the following year's Grammy Awards nominees[8].

Overview

Conception

According to the Village Voice, the title Where Is Danny? is intended to serve as an allusion to the mystique surrounding both the album's frequent delays and Danny! himself,[9] whose documented reclusive nature has raised questions on his whereabouts from fans and friends alike. Danny! would go on to clarify that the name of the album should be interpreted not only as an inquiry on his physical location, but his mental and musical one as well, of which music critic Robert Christgau has quipped "could be anywhere".[10] The primary objective of Where Is Danny?, according to the rapper in an interview with mtvU, is to "say the most fucked-up shit" to see how much he can get away with:

"It's borderline retaliation, knowwhatI'msayin'? [laughs] Like, people will praise my [music] production...[but] when it comes to my lyrics it's always 'well, Danny! may not be the most complex rapper, but...' or 'Danny!'s beats are amazing, but his lyrics...' blah blah blah, and I've grown quite sick of it actually. This album will change all of that. I'm well-aware that people love my conceptual, story-type albums but I wanted to show that, like, I wasn't overly-reliant on that. [I wanted to] remind people 'hey, I can rap too y'know!' I only hope that I don't alienate, like, the fans who became hip after "Café Surreàl" or "Fly", but true fans will definitely appreciate it."[11]

Danny! later reiterated the same to PopMatters, saying:

"I’m going to take everything about Danny! that is good in a different direction. A lot of the reviews don’t mention my rhyming schemes. They talk up my production but they say my lyrics aren’t as good. I put a lot of work into my rhymes. My next album is going to be similar to the minimalism of Madvillainy. I’d like to get more credit for my rhymes and talent as an emcee. Hopefully that’ll happen."[12]

Development

It is not known when production on Where Is Danny? first began, given that there has been minimal coverage on the album's release from both the media and Danny!. However, material from the album (namely, the first of a two-part song entitled "Sloppy Joe") was performed during an Atlanta concert with Canadian rapper Drake in May 2009.[13] The album is intended to have an unorthodox feel, lyrically and sonically, throughout its entirety; Danny! revealed that some tracks would be a minute long, some less than that, and others as long as seven minutes. Presumably this is an effort to further distance Danny! from his previous noteworthy albeit formulaic material, bordering on blatant over-exaggeration.

The initial artwork for Where Is Danny? featured Roy Lichtenstein's "Pistol". The album's official 2011 release featured an alternate version of the same image first used by Time Magazine.


Though the record was slated for a Definitive Jux release (and later an Interscope one), Danny! would jokingly threaten to self-release the album independently, just as he did with Danny Is Dead and And I Love H.E.R., should either label begin to pull its support.[7]

Postponements

Official release dates for Where Is Danny? have been listed as early as June 2009, but the record had yet to be shipped to retail. The record's frequent delays marks the second time in which an album title by Danny! became ironic, the first being 2006's Charm. A clean version of the album leaked to the internet in late August, but was swiftly removed. An unmastered beta version would later leak in late November. Where Is Danny?'s frequent delays caused a minor chagrin among fans and writers; an exasperated Impose Magazine questioned whether or not Danny! was still relevant despite having released an album the year before and an instrumental record in mid-2009.[14]

In 2011 the release date for the official version of the record was announced. The release would feature only production from Danny! himself[15] following a legal dispute between himself and the album's original producer.

Style

Lyrical Content

Unlike his breakthrough albums Charm and And I Love H.E.R., both of which had lyrics made to fit with an overall storyline[16], the lyrics on Where Is Danny? are largely random. Danny! told PopMatters that "[Where Is Danny?] is going to be similar to the minimalism of Madvillainy"[17], referencing the acclaimed[18] collabaration album between MF DOOM and Madlib, where DOOM rapped abstract lyrics over short songs[19].

The lyrics cover a wide range of subjects. He often references individuals who have nothing to do with the situation he's rapping about; in "Manic! At The Disco" he states "I sell heroin to Ellen DeGeneres' kids", and also "I've got that Boutros Boutros-Ghali/Dalai Lama flow"[20]. He references numerous people on the title track, including Megan Fox, Robert Frost, Scarlett Johansson, Kevin Federline and rock band Green Day among others[21]. In "I Ain't the Walrus" he says "I think I'll prank Akon and Lady Gaga some more". He also incorporates comedy and shock humor into his rhymes, such as in "Still Got Love", where he says "Yes, my third album (Charm) is still certified wood", joking on the music sales certifications such as gold and platinum. Also, at the end of that song, after confessing that he has "still got love for you girl", the song stops briefly and he says "psyche! Get the fuck outta here"[22]. On "Where is Danny?" he claims that he is "Ghost writing for Drake", a reference to the abandoning of them doing a duet together [23], and he also says "I'm the one that leaked Vanessa Hudgens' nudie pics"[24].

Danny! also uses satire on some of the song titles, changing some letters in famous songs or band names to create new words. Examples include "Manic! At The Disco" (Panic! at the Disco, band) and "I Ain't the Walrus" (I Am the Walrus, Beatles song).

Music and Production

The album was entirely produced by Danny![25], and contains few known samples. Much like the lyrics, the sound and production of this album differs greatly to Danny!'s other releases. He had started his career with a production style similar Kanye West, and had later broken into media attention with a style influenced by jazz and lounge music; However, Where is Danny? took a totally different approach musically. The style of the album has been compared to The Slim Shady LP by Eminem[26] and The Mouse and the Mask by Dangerdoom, because of the cartoonish style of vocals and seemingly random samples. Also, there is influence from Madvillainy by Madvillain[27], because of the short songs and abstract lyrics. Also, many songs, such as "I Ain't the Walrus" change throughout, ending with Field Recordings or conversations (similarly to his previous album And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)[28]. Danny said that he was "quite sick" of people only praising him for his production, and wanted to remind people that he could "rap too y'know!"[29], so the minimalism in the music and lack of melody and choruses reflected on this, allowing more focus on his raps. Many of the songs make use of brass instruments[30]. The album is exactly an hour long, following the fashion of his other albums such as Charm, which is exactly 73 minutes long[31].

"Just Friends" was the first official single released from Where Is Danny? and, since Danny! was signed to Definitive Jux at the time, was offered as both a downloadable song on the label's website in March 2009[38] and as a featured track on the 2009 compilation disc Definitive Jux Presents: Time Travel, Vol. 1.[39] Though "Just Friends" suffered from mixed reviews from critics and a lack of promotion, the song managed to enter the Billboard Hot 100 charts at # 88.[40] In contrast, the energetic "Manic At The Disco" was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback once it leaked four months after the first single. Though the song has yet to chart, it has managed to receive a considerable amount of plays on HipHopDX. To date "Manic At The Disco" has been listened to over 11,000 times[41] on the site, making it one of the most played tracks during the month of July 2009. In response to "Manic At The Disco"'s unexpected popularity, Danny! has stated that the song is far more indicative of Where Is Danny?'s overall sound than "Just Friends", and that the latter single will likely not make the album. As the tentative release date loomed closer another song, the aforementioned "Sloppy Joe, Pt. 1", was leaked by Danny! through his personal Twitter page. "Sloppy Joe, Pt. 1", its sequel and the Von Pea-featured "Hoedown Showdown" have also garnered positive reviews, further restoring interest in the oft-delayed project.

Upon its release the reception was mostly positive. Taking note of Where Is Danny?'s "anti-Top 40" aesthetic, Prefix Magazine called the album Danny!'s "fully realized epic" and a "gigantic middle-finger to the music industry, to boot".[42]
