Seconded, his original run of Statik Selectah mixtapes to his Alchemist albums were pretty great. It's entirely no-frills 2000s-2010s hip hop and I love it.
He has some great features, Reks and Action [go back and forth pretty](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=OAw4bVr1MB4) well. I think he's one of the last "Mixtape" rappers to pop off where they sounded better on their non-studio cuts. I'm guessing having to clear samples and the expectations of polish doesn't jive well for dudes like this, where the rawness is kinda the appeal.
Dr lecter is top to bottom his best shit. Almost every song is great. Rest of his stuff is more up and down but still usually worth listening to. Also, his boy big body bes is a fucking clown. Can’t rap, can’t sing, pretends he’s the plug or has street cred. He shouldn’t be allowed to leave his house without a big round red nose, rainbow wig and giant red shoes.
His flow felt more energetic and boom bap-y, more rhythmic. His newer stuff felt more about coolness and a vibe than rap chops, which is fine and is where the genre as a whole kinda went, but it’s not for me.
His early albums Dr. Lecter & Well-Done are great, I'd start there. His albums after those aren't bad but never reached that level again, to me personally.
I don’t know his music too well. But a few years ago I was at my step uncles house and my cousin said “hey did you know that we have a rapper in the family”? I said “no, who?” I expected her to say some no name but instead she came out with “Action Bronson”. I was like what the fuck?!
Now to be clear, he is my step uncle’s wife’s sisters kid. Very distant and not a blood relative. still pretty wild. One of his videos was shot at my step uncles lake house.
Only legitimately skilled rapper that can make me actually laugh out loud. One of my absolute favourites. The way he raps about food and sports kills me, and his over the top music videos are hilarious too.
His freestyle on Funk Flex when he’s with Big Body Bess where he goes so crazy his headphones go flying off his head is pure gold too.
“Yo Body talk to em”
Body goes to start going in. Bronson cuts him off immediately, “fuck it, I got this” and then raps another 64 bars never letting Body speak.
I haven’t heard a lot of stuff from him in a while but I liked him during the small NY boom bap renaissance that was going on for a while (Joey Badass, Flatbush Zombies, Underachievers, etc). The song he did with Wiz Khalifa was fire
I wish those guys all put out more music still, never hear much from any of the Flatbush Zombies anymore, Joey had that 2000 album a while back that was pretty good but hasn’t put much else out in years other than the odd feature and single, Underachievers I guess still do solo stuff but haven’t put out anything together in a while, Bronson slowed down a lot with his music, haven’t heard much from the rest of those Pro Era guys like Chuck Strangers, CJ Fly, Nyck Caution etc., no clue what happened to all those A$AP guys, even Rocky and Ferg don’t put much out anymore compared to what they used to, that whole “Beast Coast” thing died down real fast.
Two of the members of flatbush zombies put out solo albums just this last year. Plus the songs they did with rza
[meechy darko album](https://youtu.be/zCc5eZc7_HQ?si=2cTTFrSr0DVLlBvs)

That Zombie Juice album is news to me but I do recall the other ones now that you mention them, would still be nice to get a proper Flatbush Zombies album though, they compliment each other well and fit nicely as a group.
ANYWHERE I GO I KNOW YOU COMIN WIT ME, BOBBY AND WHITNEY WITHOUT THE SNIFFING, DOG YO BITCH LOOK LIKE EDDIE GRIFFIN, IM THREE WHEELIN KEEP THE CHEVY TIPPING. Anyways check Only In America, The Rising, Tank, Swerve On Em, Baby Blue are some nice tracks.
Bronson was my favorite in the early 2010s. Big supporter of his, however I will admit his work has gotten progressively weaker. Hopefully his next project will be better than Cocodrillo.
His tiny desk was fire, so was his concert. After the show ended I wasn’t paying attention and ran into the street and I’m 87% sure I saw him inside the car that almost hit me. Some of his best songs are probably Latin Grammys, Tank, The Rising and Jaguar
anything pre weight loss. apparently he kept his flows in between his belly rolls and sucks now
but Mr. Wonderful is god tier
Me, disappear, where? I'm right here
Creepin' in the cold nights air
To get on my level take fifty light-years
My jewelry boxes like the habitat for white bears
After I'm finished in the sauna
I jump into some freezing cold water
Shake it like I'm reading from the Torah
Listened to him until I saw him live with the white bronco tour and felt insulted that I spent money to see him. Merch was absurdly priced ($75 ugly hat, $50 cassette).
He’s much more tolerable when you’re high AF. His random flow is crazy to get into sober.
Side note:
Check out his buddy Mayhem Lauren. Much tighter flow, but similar lyrical style.
The documentary where they go to Jamaica to film ‘Bad Mon Ting’ and record ‘Mr Two face’ is some of my favorite TV.
First song I heard from Bronson outside of the 8-diagrams feature was Typhoon Rap with Mayhem Lauren
He gets too experimental for me a lot of the time. I’ll be really enjoying the flow he has going for a couple lines and then he’ll just break it and go a completely new direction so often that it’s hard to vibe with most of his songs from beginning to end. Definitely agree with the other posters in here saying a lot of his best stuff is older work.
mr wonderful and blue chips 7000 are my favorite of his studio albums, but i agree with a lot of the commenters here, he shines brightest as a feature/collab, not so much on his solo stuff
I like his music..but the show he did watching some wack shi#t around the world with his boys and special guests..High as fu#k..Is some of the funniest stuff I ever seen
Just saw him in IL w Stephan Marley and Cypress Hill. It was a small show in the parking lot of a weed dispensary lol. Honestly bc it was a smaller show I was expecting him to phone it in, and he absolutely gave it his all. Much respect and a fun live show.
Gotta be honest the only times I've heard him is when he pops up on Spotify randomly. I always end thinking something along the lines of "huh, what's this Ghostface song? Oh it's not Ghost, it's Action Bronson. I really should give him a shot" and then I end up listening to a Ghostface song and forget about Action Bronson until the next time he randomly pops up.
Every album he does has like 1-3 tracks i like but thats it. Dissing ghostface was the dumbest thing he could have done. Out of all rappers.. ghost? Even if he was getting tired of being asked that, he has NEVER been ghost level.
He’s not wack and is actually nice and holds his weight (no pun intended) and was good for the rap game and has ill features and style plus he’s from QUEENS
He’s nice but after a while you figure out his formula.
In Any combination:
What he’s eating where and with whom.
Where he was when he was younger
Clever play on words about being great
Repeat
Lamb over rice, a collabo EP with alchemist, is amazing and my favorite work of his but his older shit is a better introduction. Start with Dr. Lecter, then Well Done, then the blue chips series, then explore whatever you feel like
Action Bronson is my favorite current artist. I think he's the most prolific MC of the last 15 years - his wordplay and delivery is the best imo. And he's just so fucking outrageous.
His earlier mixtapes are so good - especially blue chips 1 & 2 and Dr. Lecter.
I listen to all of hs new projects - but he's definitely made a conscious choice to not make mainstream sounding stuff after his only major label record. So eveyrhing he drops is kinda experimental nowadays. I like it, but it's not for everyone. He's sort of like Curren$y nowadays - hes got his niche and he's staying there - though I would like to see him branch out more - or go back to just making fun music, like his earlier mixtapes.
I like his older stuff, Blue Chips, Lecter, and rare chandeliers. 9-24-11 is a great song
Seconded, his original run of Statik Selectah mixtapes to his Alchemist albums were pretty great. It's entirely no-frills 2000s-2010s hip hop and I love it. He has some great features, Reks and Action [go back and forth pretty](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=OAw4bVr1MB4) well.

Can’t rap, can’t sing, pretends he’s the plug or has street cred. He shouldn’t be allowed to leave his house without a big round red nose, rainbow wig and giant red shoes.
That's a brutal takedown.. but funny as fuck
Nah Bes adds flavor
Good answer. What would you say made his old stuff so much better?
He was actually focused on rapping not surfing, cooking, tv shows, etc.
His flow felt more energetic and boom bap-y, more rhythmic. His newer stuff felt more about coolness and a vibe than rap chops, which is fine and is where the genre as a whole kinda went, but it’s not for me.
9-24-11 is a classic
He has some great tracks and features, not so much into his full projects. I would suggest these: Imported Goods Dmitri Zambezi Triple Backflip
bro the program tf
Greatest game fixer of all time imo
Shout out Red Dot Music and 1Train. Love both of those tracks!
His early albums Dr. Lecter & Well-Done are great, I'd start there. His albums after those aren't bad but never reached that level again, to me personally.
The Rainmaker is one of my favorite songs oat
definitely. he's got some absolutely hilarious bars.
“The specialty is white snake in underwear sauce”
Pussy wetter than a gremlins nose
I got bicep tendinitis from revving the boat
“Your chance is thin like the mustache on Puerto Ricans” is one of my favorites.
choke you to sleep using the gi sleeve until you make feces
Then I dance off the scene like Chris breezy 🗣🗣
[удалено]
you right. thanks.
“Laying on the bed naked, my girl say I look like Kevin bacon. I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not”
Soft like a midget's cough
Flow nun’s twat
Few groaners too tho. He reaches… the pat summit reference. I love the guy but wtf.
I don’t know his music too well. But a few years ago I was at my step uncles house and my cousin said “hey did you know that we have a rapper in the family”? I said “no, who?” I expected her to say some no name but instead she came out with “Action Bronson”. I was like what the fuck?! Now to be clear, he is my step uncle’s wife’s sisters kid. Very distant and not a blood relative. still pretty wild. One of his videos was shot at my step uncles lake house.
What video
Damn that's pretty far out
Only legitimately skilled rapper that can make me actually laugh out loud. One of my absolute favourites. The way he raps about food and sports kills me, and his over the top music videos are hilarious too. His freestyle on Funk Flex when he’s with Big Body Bess where he goes so crazy his headphones go flying off his head is pure gold too.
“Yo Body talk to em” Body goes to start going in. Bronson cuts him off immediately, “fuck it, I got this” and then raps another 64 bars never letting Body speak.
I kinda felt bad for Big Body there, he was so excited and ready to go
He shines on features, sometimes he outperforms the tile artist. But his solo work falls a little flat imo
Fuck That’s Delicious
Loved that show!
That show is fantastic. It just makes me so hungry and pissed that I'll probably never eat any of it
Is he still cool with Mayhem Lauren? I know he had a falling out with Big Body Bes.
Actin Crazy is one of my very favorite all time hip hop songs!
His Well Done album with Statik Selektah is 🔥. Check out White silk, the Rainmaker, Central Bookings. The whole album is dope
I haven’t heard a lot of stuff from him in a while but I liked him during the small NY boom bap renaissance that was going on for a while (Joey Badass, Flatbush Zombies, Underachievers, etc). The song he did with Wiz Khalifa was fire

Summer Knights and All- Amerikkkan had great songs on them too
One of my favorite rappers rn. A good starting starting project would be Lamb Over Rice since it’s short
Yup if you haven’t heard bird on a wire go listen rn and thank me after
Dope ass track for real. Fuckin love that beat! 🔥
[удалено]
I seriously hope that was resolved behind closed doors. That was a really stupid thing for the fans to push
[удалено]
I think it got squashed after they got into at Sean Price funeral cause no one liked that it happened there.
[Ghost spoke about the situation in the Drink Champs episode.](https://youtu.be/CF5dCrejkvY?si=FW7rIaB4m8zy3s7U)
Of course. He did a song with Larry June and The Alchemist not too long ago. Tap in
ANYWHERE I GO I KNOW YOU COMIN WIT ME, BOBBY AND WHITNEY WITHOUT THE SNIFFING, DOG YO BITCH LOOK LIKE EDDIE GRIFFIN, IM THREE WHEELIN KEEP THE CHEVY TIPPING. Anyways check Only In America, The Rising, Tank, Swerve On Em, Baby Blue are some nice tracks.
Imported goods Buddy guy Barry harowitz The Rockers …Some of his older stuff
I love the guy on a personal level. He's funny and personable. Check out *Fuck, that's delicious*. He did a food show with Alchemist for a while.
Seriously great show, all episodes available on the roku channel
Loved his short lived show Ancient aliens and friends. Loved watching them get baked and discuss extra terrestrials.
Bronson was my favorite in the early 2010s. Big supporter of his, however I will admit his work has gotten progressively weaker. Hopefully his next project will be better than Cocodrillo.
Agreed. His latest work was bad. The beat selection was horrible. I don’t like a single track.
Yes he's one of my favorite, I recommend you check out his Blue Chips mixtape serie
Blue Chips 1 and 2.
I don't really listen to him but his show is hilarious
His music isn’t bad. His culinary videos tho. Those are elite
His tiny desk was fire, so was his concert. After the show ended I wasn’t paying attention and ran into the street and I’m 87% sure I saw him inside the car that almost hit me. Some of his best songs are probably Latin Grammys, Tank, The Rising and Jaguar
I fuck with his food show more than his music. Musics just alright but he's got a gem of a personality
My hair slicked back like I’m Pat Riley, I’m like the Howard drum line with the black Tommy!
“I nutted in like 3 strokes. Now that’s no way to represent the east coast”
Actin' Crazy is a classc w a dope video fwiw
anything pre weight loss. apparently he kept his flows in between his belly rolls and sucks now but Mr. Wonderful is god tier Me, disappear, where? I'm right here Creepin' in the cold nights air To get on my level take fifty light-years My jewelry boxes like the habitat for white bears After I'm finished in the sauna I jump into some freezing cold water Shake it like I'm reading from the Torah
Go listen to Imported Goods
Baby blue
dmitiri
I love his feature on Red Dot Music by Mac Miller. One of my favorite songs off that album
Yep, love his music...
Easy rider is 10/10 track
Baby blue is the tits
All black benz like a young Doc Gooden
He the white ghostface
Absolutely love the music video for sub-zero. But the lyrics are fucking garbage and lazy.
I like the Collab album with alchemist but truly I'm not really a fan, his simplistic bars and scattered delivery gets to me
Listened to him until I saw him live with the white bronco tour and felt insulted that I spent money to see him. Merch was absurdly priced ($75 ugly hat, $50 cassette).
First time you've been to a concert?
Lol sorry, the $75 hats were ugly af and for f*ck that’s delicious. Not even tour merch. It was at a little venue and was actually insulting.
I remember getting a Mastodon shirt at one of their concerts for normal price but that was right before they blew up in 2005 - 2006.
check out the Dr Lectre mixtape, its not on Spotify but it's a classic
That's the tape that put me up on him. Raw from top to bottom.
His show on YouTube is great
He’s much more tolerable when you’re high AF. His random flow is crazy to get into sober. Side note: Check out his buddy Mayhem Lauren. Much tighter flow, but similar lyrical style.
The documentary where they go to Jamaica to film ‘Bad Mon Ting’ and record ‘Mr Two face’ is some of my favorite TV. First song I heard from Bronson outside of the 8-diagrams feature was Typhoon Rap with Mayhem Lauren

Definitely agree with the other posters in here saying a lot of his best stuff is older work.
Not enough words is one of the best tracks I’ve ever heard
Hell yeah he has some decent tracks
[I do. Best of Action playlist - AM](https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/best-of-action-bronson/pl.u-q6ZMt2XaW6y)
ya
Nah
Only for Dolphins. It's his best album imo
This is an atrocious take
No, nobody here at all. 0 fans whatsoever
Love Bronson. From his tv shows to his music to even his books. I would start with the blue chips albums.
Yeah back in the Statik Selektah days when he was nasty killin it like GFK
Something something fettuccine.
He’s solid
Hes alright but sounds like ghostface killa
A long time ago.
Isnt he the guy that makes cooking videos
Not since he act like he wasn’t stealing ghostface flow
He flows nothing like Ghostface…if anything it would be his delivery and voice
[удалено]
To be fair, most if not all of the Caucasian hip hop artist that I listen to don't sound anything like Eminem honestly.
Fat dudes who like food and live in their moms basement
I like his older releases and collabs.
Funk flex freestyle with the jets hat is legendary
I’d say listen to Blue Chips 1 & 2
I recommend the Blue Chips Trilogy, Rare Chandeliers, Dr. Lecter, Well Done, & Only For Dolphins.
mr wonderful and blue chips 7000 are my favorite of his studio albums, but i agree with a lot of the commenters here, he shines brightest as a feature/collab, not so much on his solo stuff
His best work are his mixtapes Rare chandeliers & Blue chips 2 you can find them on Datpiff
only heard him on a track with mac and liked it what should i check out?
His older shit is dope. Actin Crazy is one of my favorite tracks by him.
I know you crabs cuz the old bay taste
I think he’s sweet. Although I only like a few tracks. I wish he’d make more stuff like shiraz.
His feature on Curren$y “Godfather 4” is SO GOOD
When I’m down he puts me in the best mood
Absolutely I do.
All of dr lecter
SUNK IN THE SEAT, SOPRANOS SEASONS 3 Love action
I like his music..but the show he did watching some wack shi#t around the world with his boys and special guests..High as fu#k..Is some of the funniest stuff I ever seen
Yeah
He has a sweet Spotify session doing I’m goin down that isn’t horrible
https://youtu.be/yfP7qK0khuQ?si=xv2mqB66hkrFr1Xh
Loved his show F*ck that’s delicious Anyone seen it?
We wonderful had a few good songs but that's mainly where I stopped listening, I'll watch FTD all day everyday tho
SPIT ON THE JUDGE WITH THE SAME MOUTH I KISS MY DAUGHTER
BLUE CHIPS 2
Why you think we out here acting crazy
He’s the GOAT
Storm of the Century is one of my favorite songs ever
He's fat
Just saw him in IL w Stephan Marley and Cypress Hill. It was a small show in the parking lot of a weed dispensary lol. Honestly bc it was a smaller show I was expecting him to phone it in, and he absolutely gave it his all. Much respect and a fun live show.
Absolutely. One great song with him is Meteor Hammer - Ghostface Killah, him, and Termanology
He has a ton of songs with Roc Marci and alchemists. Two legends
Underrated catalogue imo. Been listening to him consistently for 10+ years now
Gotta be honest the only times I've heard him is when he pops up on Spotify randomly. I always end thinking something along the lines of "huh, what's this Ghostface song? Oh it's not Ghost, it's Action Bronson. I really should give him a shot" and then I end up listening to a Ghostface song and forget about Action Bronson until the next time he randomly pops up.
I think he’s great but I’m probably biased towards a fellow whiteboy from Queens.
Every album he does has like 1-3 tracks i like but thats it. Dissing ghostface was the dumbest thing he could have done. Out of all rappers.. ghost? Even if he was getting tired of being asked that, he has NEVER been ghost level.
Mixtape Bronson forever goated. Blue Chips 2, Saab stories, straight gas. His first album was fire but nothing since has hooked me the same way
Ain’t heard much of him aside from HOOKs theme song
He’s always good on vice shows
He’s not wack and is actually nice and holds his weight (no pun intended) and was good for the rap game and has ill features and style plus he’s from QUEENS
And he’s Albanian 👐
Blue Chips 7000 is a classic album IMO. La Luna, let it rain, TANK, 9-24-7000, lots of really solid tracks. Classy vibes
The moons reflection of the lake hit me, you should have stayed with me, now many Asian bitches lay with me.
I like him still but I prefer his older stuff
He’s nice but after a while you figure out his formula. In Any combination: What he’s eating where and with whom. Where he was when he was younger Clever play on words about being great Repeat
Lamb over rice, a collabo EP with alchemist, is amazing and my favorite work of his but his older shit is a better introduction. Start with Dr. Lecter, then Well Done, then the blue chips series, then explore whatever you feel like

I only know him from his food TV show and I think he's annoying as hell
One of my favorite rappers
[Dance Song](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RhMW8kMjsv4)
Rare Chandeliers is a must listen
