this

although it's a lot more punk rock + a bunch of other things, i definitely get a shabazz palaces vibe at times (mostly in the lyrics + flow, like on "culture shock" for ex).

anyone know if the drums on 'thru the walls' are sampled from something?

haha

really loving this!

sorry to laugh, just that ZH is kind of non-human and sampleable

oh nice, didn't know he was involved. jesus.

damn son

also, is it just me or does dude sound like an aggro slick rick at times?

I think he sounds like rza, especially on Spread Eagle Across the Block.

yeah that too. some of the vowels definitely have this british thing though.

Ok I'm 10 seconds into this and lmfao that this starts with a Janes Addiction sample

this is otm

has anyone brought up atari teenage riot yet? cuz i'm getting a whiff of that

morelike RIYL: Techno Animal, Kill The Vultures, k-the-i???, etc.

but yeah

the gif in the op is perfect visual accompaniment to this music

ha totally

atari teenage riot ... Techno Animal, Kill The Vultures, k-the-i

finding death grope a lot more enjoyable & fun than any of those precedents. like it sounds like it ought to feel oppressively angry and "harsh", but it doesn't. good times album imo.

and yeah, OP gif couldn't be more perfect

@DeathGripz
Death Grips
this beat like you about to throw yourself down the staircase but then you smell the blunt and now you are the staircase #spiral

like it sounds like it ought to feel oppressively angry and "harsh", but it doesn't. good times album imo.

yeah this is the crazy part to me. i thought it would get grating, but like i'm sitting here vibing with the windows open on a summer evening

Its weirdly positive right? And the diversity of approach from song to song means it never bogs down.
Interesting that this is garnering straight up yes or NO responses.

Can anyone id the "it goes it goes it goes igoes" sample that plays prior to guillotine on the tape that appears to have inspired it?
We gonna rockdown to whiney alleynue
And then we take it higher

Yeah, it's definitely in this SP/Spaceghostpurrp/Blunt Fang nexus of sonically abrasive underground rap, but way more aggro vocally than any of those. Anyone know where this guy is from?

sacramento presumably

That really explains everything.

nice site geebs

i like those g-series ones, tasty

lets all like this instead of odd future

^^^^was waiting for that post

in a perfect world, you and me could jump around and scream these lyrics at each other all day instead of going to work.

agreed

there's a new one o_O

just listened to it in fact -- and it's yet another good, relentless Death Grips record. Most consistent band on the planet, really.

will be on this very shortly, q excited. rym is going mad for it

no one fucking cares, Louis

I shouldn't have snapped at u

u_u

sorry, lj

lol

Whiney acting the Hot Head in honour of the incendiary second track

new track is pretty fun, stripping back the noise a bit

and they say music can't change the world

lol nice. year of the snitch was probably my most listened-to album of the year. it didn't bowl me over at first, but its endless parade of off-the-wall ideas--coupled with its uniformly hazy, blunted sonics--kept pulling me back in. i don't think i've seen it on a single year-end list :(

would love to see them go deeper into the psych-prog zone of dilemma

Lol I had completely forgotten that death grips are the greatest band in the world

Fuiud

:D

exmilitary is still the pinnacle but ilx def underrates them

I was way too late getting into these guys, no love deep web prob my fave

money store is the one i listen to most often but ya easy best band of the last decade

I should have absorbed more DG by now. Really, really, really liked The Powers That B or whatever the two-disc thing was officially called. The juxtaposition of the two not-very-similar discs somehow added something in itself. I even bought a physical copy fercrissakes, which is noteworthy for me nowadays.

But I have no recollection of hearing the stuff since then, nor NLDW for that matter. I've no real excuse...

Definitely a band that felt uniquely important and new. An actual next stage of punk. Seeing the crowd that showed up to their shows kinda ruined some of it for me though. Looked like a 4chan meetup.

ha, i heard someone describe them as incel music and i was like ewwwwww but i still kinda like them

Yeah I don’t put that on them, just kinda made me re-evaluate. Gotta really suck to have an unexpected fan base like that though.

lol saw them in london c. money store and the crowd wasn't particularly gross at all? money store is the best imo.
