just a heads up, death grips are chill as hell with copyright. the only song ive seen people have a problem with is lost boys for some reason but all their other albums theyre chill as hell about cuz they went independent after this album and the one before this one technically wasnt even released properly cuz it had too many uncleared samples lol.
They've had a guitarist on tour at concerts recently and he plays the vocal sample in the hustle bones chorus. The crowd went crazier that song than the rest of the entire show except maybe for Hacker. They're on tour until mid October see them if you can it's wild
As long as you go into death grips with the openness of their music growing on you beautiful things will happen. I would encourage you to check out some of their live performances it elevates their shit to a whole new level
Tbh i got into Death Grips because everybody i knew hated them so much after i heard Takyon and started throwing it on. People still ask me if i like DG ironically, and i'm still like 'kinda, but this shit slaps.' Seeing them live is awesome. Got to mosh to No Love and lost both shirts i bought.
Also man, I don't think you gotta see it live in order to like it, but maaaaaaan if you do, it's a fucking life changing experience I saw them after they released their double album The Powers That B, I can't even explain how much shit was going around with them at the time but one of the things was they had cancelled several shows on that tour right before showtime so everyone in there wasn't even sure if they were actually even gonna play, and they started almost an hour late When i say the pit was so intense and packed that there were times i was moving without even moving, as in i am 6 foot 5 and i was literally lifted off my feet and moved several feet over essentially being lifted by my waist because it was just a massive wave of people moving, i lost my shoes 20 minutes in and my feet was getting stomped on repeatedly but I was so filled with adrenaline I didn't even care, the show was like 2 hours long and i kept trying to take breaks but by the time I got to the door they'd be playing another hit and id be like aaaaaaaaaagh fuck 😭 and turn back around and dive back in, I've never been to a show where literally the entire floor was the pit, greatest show of my fuckin life man
loved this video so much, you warring with yourself whether you could enjoy it or not was hilarious, I’m glad you liked it and I definitely second everyone else saying exmil is a good next album. if you wanted a one-off track to check out from another album of theirs though, “Streaky” from Year Of The Snitch is a super catchy one I’ve had in rotation a lot recently
If you like the higher energy stuff off this album just know that this is the "accessible" one, so get fuckin ready for the rest of their catalog you're gonna love it.
DG concerts are _unhinged_ , you rarely see a fan recording of one that doesnt end with the camera suddenly flying across the room from an errant limb flail 😂 I saw one that ended abruptly where the camguy explained in the description that the cam was fine, he just didn't know stage diving was allowed until everyone was rushing the stage so he quickly stashed the cam in his pocket to join the mob, cause he got priorities 👍 1:09:00 fun fact: the melody for this track (and a few of their others) is sampled from a collection of ringtones for an indian brand (iirc, i forget the name) of flip phones
i saw these guys live this year and couldnt tell you what song was playing at one time haha shit was chaotic but the beats were loud and immaculate and he be screaming into that fucking microphone like he was a prison inmate. it was incredible
Bruh, i´m telling you you´ll love bottomless pit, shit´s a lot more intense than this and there are a few hits over there, i think that it´ll be a good follow up to death grip´s discography.
It's dope to see a first reaction to this album like 10 years after it dropped. It took me over a year for it to click with me cause I thought it was just some hipster shit and I kept resisting to it but I let my curiosity take the wheel even though the shit felt like a car chase with the wheels falling off. You really gotta read the lyrics slow and try to get the big picture for each song. Like sometimes it's a vibe but it fits with the other concepts. Money Store in my eyes is about living the lifestyle of scamming/hacking and being addicted to the power but also getting crazy paranoid as the price you pay. It's also about being lost on the darkest parts of the internet and that shit negatively affecting your day to day but you just gotta learn to live with it. Like you start to feel too different and feel like you relate to people less and less. But the upside is you can find your tribe of people who really get you after all that Also the part about relating less and less to people connects to heavy drug use especially shit like ketamine, dmt, molly and a bunch of other shit. Every album has songs about tripping heavy on drugs
You should definitely listen to “Niggas On The Moon” (The Powers That B) it’s one of my favorite experimental tracks of all time. I bet you’ll like this, along with exmilitary
@@aidanharris6821 imo niggas on the moon would make a great impression for a first listen of death grips, seen others in the comments agreeing with this. I understand it but don’t at the same time. This album was the whole point of their genre of experimental hip hop/rap And really defines them in general
Death grips not comparable. They’re their own. Real as fuck. This is good example to separate fan base stigmas from music. There’s a reason why a lot of people like it cause theres good shit. The people that hate usually don’t listen deeply into discographies and rely on singles and hits.
im a huge fan of death grips since like 2014 and i do have to say seeing them live is way better i saw them like in may this year definitely the best experience ever. you should check out their live performances sometime! edit: the exmilitary album is also a really good listen
It's so funny cuz the first time I listened to the album I wasn't really vibing with it until Hustle Bones and now I love this shit lol, reacting to that track didn't disappoint it goes so fucking hard.
i pretty much would only listen to the same type of music before i found out about death grips, they introduced me to the concept of experimental music and it changed my world forever
kinda wild to see you fw lost boys out the gate, feel like thats a skip or a sleeper for most ppl. no idea which dg album you should do next tbh, but reacting to em does numbers on here so you cant go wrong on that front 🙏
If you liked the way this album ended, you’ll love the way The Powers That B ends. It’s a double LP so it might be something to do in two parts, and the first half might be a bit weird, but the second half has some of their most powerful sounds. This was a fun video man, I appreciate the good vibes
You gotta react to a band called clowncore each of their albums are 10-20 minutes long and the videos & lyrics are some of the funniest shit ive seen in music
if you’re into Death Grips and want to listen to them without the annoying BS (i personally like Double Helix but i understand songs like that aren’t everyone’s cup of tea), i would recommend listening to No Love Deep Web, if you prefer their more minimalistic instrumentation and MC Ride’s traditional-style rapping. i’d also recommend Year of the Snitch, which was my personal introduction to them and is their most melodic and accessible album imo. all the people who keep saying that TMS is their most “pop” album are fucking weird or lying lol. i honestly thought you’d hate The Cage since it took me multiple listens to appreciate it. a little tidbit about The Cage is that the weird synths in the background are police sirens spelling out an anagram for “cage” (E, A, G, E, C#)
It's so weird how many reactors who don't listen to this type of shit will be like "get got was too much but the fever was better" like the fever is so much heavier lol, to me at least, get got seems way more accessible, it's cool ppl like it, it just confuses me every time lol
they like to reuse their sounds in all their albums so like when u listen to tha others youll see its kinda cool it helps them have their own sound even when they are alr so crazy
I suggest if you wanna a more regular rap experience then you should listen to exmilitary, bit if you want the more crazy shit The powers that B got you covered
W reaction watched the whole thing, but I gotta say u def needa listen to bottomless pit by them. The production is much better it’s so good and the weirdness is toned down a bit compared to this album. Only if u want to tho I just think u would enjoy it more 🤷♂️
46:58 lmao dawg they sampled that from a compilation of "music from saharan cellphones" its super hard unironically 😭😭 trust me dude its gonna grow on you
ngl this album to me is death grips worst especially for getting into them and knowing ur taste i knew u wasnt finna be a big fan of it u should def listen to bottomless pit instead wayyyyy better and got some bangers u def would like or no love deep web and exmilitary
can i request ka- honor killed the samurai ? be suree to pull up the lyrics. he got bars for days. but the production is minimal yet still retains that grimmy nyc shit. if you wanna listen to something off of that project try the first song off the album, conflicted. it kinda has samurai theme to the albums and ka relates the samurai code and life as a samurai to the street code and growing up in brownsville.
just a heads up, death grips are chill as hell with copyright. the only song ive seen people have a problem with is lost boys for some reason but all their other albums theyre chill as hell about cuz they went independent after this album and the one before this one technically wasnt even released properly cuz it had too many uncleared samples lol.
bettttttt
its prolly not even DG having issues wit lost boys its prolly Epic Records hating ass
it is 1000% Epic@@memphiskash
'Cause fucks fail to understand they,'re just like Eh!
reno always pick the real fan favorite tracks on first listen. constantly checking the door fit the vibes too bro noided
lmaooooo
U def gotta listen to their project called Ex Military, you gonna fw it heavy
Yes absolutely!
punk weight gotta be my favourite off of this project, play it at like max volume goes crazy especially the drop at the beginning
the sample just blew me away the first time since i spoke that language
what's it say?@@samionyt
He said “it’s special” 🤣🤣
He said it so romantically
They've had a guitarist on tour at concerts recently and he plays the vocal sample in the hustle bones chorus. The crowd went crazier that song than the rest of the entire show except maybe for Hacker. They're on tour until mid October see them if you can it's wild
is andy morin still not playing at shows?
@@voth4033 idk nick reinhart might still be preforming with them in the next upcoming shows
The Money Store is probably their most pop and easily approachable album tho it's a rly good one glad you enjoyed it gng
Eh
id argue Bottomless Pit is more accessible
@@DJGLOSSI100% actually minus hot head and maybe the first track
@@DJGLOSSITake out the first 3 tracks and yeah
in my opinion If you have to take out tracks from a album to make it more accessible, it isn’t accesible
I saw em live in 2013 in LA and I just saw em again in LA in 2023
still the hardest thing out there
Saw them a few weeks ago and was easily the craziest concert ever
which set? im seein them in Boston in a few weeks
@@beErEy2324HOW WAS IT
@@beErEy2324 we need a awnser how was it
Death Grips are definitely live set specialists
As long as you go into death grips with the openness of their music growing on you beautiful things will happen. I would encourage you to check out some of their live performances it elevates their shit to a whole new level
Exmilitary got less of the "random" shit going on. Based on the songs you liked like Hustle Bones, you're gonna fuck with exmilitary bro
"cause im bustin for no reason" holy shit you had me cryin man🤣

The sample for Get Got is from the album Saharan Cell Phones. I guess DG just likes there phones alot

Fr it's probably the safest option to continue with dg
54:40 that is a sample of Serena Williams. I am not kidding
You should've not slept for 3 days, drank only coffee and redbulls and watched a marathon of Ed, Edd and Eddy and Scooby Doo before reacting to this

Fun fact bald critic Anthony Fantano gave this album a 10 and called Hacker the best song of the 2010s
Dude Your humor is sick.
people in these comments lying to themselves saying he’ll like their other albums 😭 Reno ima be real with u, u won’t

He might like exmilitary, but thats it i guess

i actually saw them live in DC early August and I went from someone who liked em a lil to a superfan. you are 100% correct about that
