Death Grips

Death Grips are by far one of the most unique groups I have heard in a VERY long time.

The best way I can describe them are... Barbaric, incomprehensible hip hop of pure terror on top of a barrage of noisy percussion and a swarm of extraterrestrial sirens.

Here, just listen yourself. Youtube the song "The Fever (Aye Aye)"


Their album The Money Store, released on Record Store Day (and officially yesterday) is being talked about left right and center. It's being called refreshing, intimidating, inventive and just plain addictive. Hell, L.A. Reid even signed them based on their mixtape and this album debut is off of his label (which I find incredibly bizarre but hey).

What do you think? Is it really that outstanding?

I was gonna start this thread >:]

tbh tho, i can't really get into The Money Store as much as I did Exmilitary. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I freaking love the money store.
However I have not only heard better albums, I have heard better albums this year. I still think it's a pretty sweet album, but by no means one of the best we've heard in a while.

All the p4kers and due and gangis are blowing it. I've gots to side with rev and say it's hella overblown.

I thought Due was a p4ker?

I've been listening only to Death Grips and Modest Mouse recently. It's been weird.

What a weird combination =P

"Hip hop does not always have to be just simple beats and a dude rhyming'. It can be a dude rhyming', but he's rhyming' his shit by yelling' at yo' ass." -C Town of DEHH on Death Grips

I'm not a p4ker, but I love Death Grips. I liked Exmilitary much more than TMS. I liked Fantano's explanation of them as "Taking every one of hip hop's stereotypes to the extreme."
