Happy Easter/April Fool's Day/Sunday everybody! Here's a video on some guys that I really hope you check out (if you haven't already). Let me know what you think!
you might think we love you for your money but i know what we love you for it's your excellent taste in music and underrated channel
Deathgrips is neither rare or underrated. Everybody on the internet listen to them and think they are edgy or special.
Zz Or hey fun fact i said his channel was underrated, not dg.
eeehhhh
Zz Or DG is rare and underrated. Barely anyone on the internet listen to them and have no idea how they sound. (Like you you don't listen to dg)
Both a Bob Dylan reference and a Death Grips reference at the same time.
Death grips concert veteran here. They are insane and they do put everything into their performances. Not even talking about the crazy shit they do. You can tell they care because they didnt stop playing music, they were dedicated to maintaining a constant flow of entertainment. It was an hour and a half of constantly being noided. Thats what i tell people about when i talk about that experience. It blew me away the most.
Aidan Hanson i agree, I remember I went to one of their concerts in LA and Zach hill did NOT stop drumming through the whole concert, it was amazing
2 shows - 2 nights - forever with me
saw them two days ago at the barrowlands in glasgow and i think it was the best gig ive ever been to, it was just such a different experience from any others ive been at
"Seen crazy shit man crazy shit"
They don't spare a second of the stage time that they are given.
deaf grapes is best rapers
Barry Benson I only liked your comment because of your Fantano pfp
@@ABC-nj1jn fantonhy antfantao
Yrs
That extra p is crucial to the execution of your statement
@@ABC-nj1jn boy that's a possum
It’s one of those bands when you hear them at first, you kind of feel the need to listen to them several times before really liking it.
Farhan Marco it's either this or people outright hating it
I really like their albums. Though, I have to agree with your statement. This band is not going to be for everybody.
Farhan Marco a
No shit
Yep
Right on the money
I liked their popular hits from a distance(mostly just the hits off of exmillitary and Money Store, but didnt understand their other stuff.
I bought tickets to a show just to experience them earlier this year and forced myself to listen to YOTS. Buy the third playthrough I was hooked. And then came the love for Bottomless Pit, No Love, Gov Plates etc
incredible emotions, including "angry yelling" and "louder angry yelling"
Bruh how can you say that (even jokingly).
ON GP is one of the best emotional songs ever.
the melon man will be happy with this
Deathony Gripstano
HEY BUDDY DID YA HEAR THE NEWS?!?!
it's track reviewzzzzz
Monthony Storetano
Rip filthy frank
I honestly don't remember what life was like before Death Grips.
TheSatch10 been a fan since 2012 so I can honestly say the same 😂
Simple, boring
same
Very boring.
I don't wanna go back to it
True Fans Watch Death Grips in 144p.
The far cry 3 villain profile pic really fits to the comment :D
MC Ride looks like evolved Ameer Vann
Rafisqi Adhaputra
Dude, I was thinking the same thing. GET OUTTA MY HEAD
NIGHTMARE-NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE-NIGHTMARE imagine DG and Brockhampton somehow working together to make HEAT-ish style song.how badass it could be! Love BH but they need to make more aggresive songs
If Ameer was homeless. Lol
Ameer van looks like a devolved NC ride
Rafisqi Adhaputra that’s what i was thinking wtf
death grips isnt something you just cant get into for me its something that just clicks thats what happened to me
Feistaro exactly what happened to me, and after that click I couldn't stop listening
Man, I was saying that yesterday
I know what u mean
I feel u
Feistaro exactly it’s not good the very first time you listen to it but if you just keep listening you’ll finally feel the meaning of the deegees
the first time I listened to the money store I thought it was garbage lol. But a few weeks ago I decided to listen again and here I am
I always tell people: "Imagine if Nine Inch Nails was screwing around in the garage with random loops and a homeless war vet with no shirt and PTSD stumbled in and started ranting."
10/10 best band ever.
As a NiN fan i immediatly loved death grips
"It's really interesting, you should give it a read." m8 it's a 140-page graduate thesis.
in hothead, stefan is saying "blo blo blo blo blo blo blo blo oh no blo blo blo blo blo blo blo blo hothead oh no that pedagogue grab the microphone ease back up blo blo blo blo blo blo blo blo oh no"
Yeij thanks kanye
kanye is welcome
tysm for this, I've tried introduceing friends to Death Grips and it usually gets awkward
Yes and jpeg
The video for 'Eh' is actually shot on an app you can get for a dollar or something lol
lmao that's great
Lmao I think that makes it better
Alfo Media and also wrong, sadly. they most likely used some very cool plugins for adobe after effects over footage of live actors (including the director himself, sean) to create the video: trapcode form and trapcode sound keys. the app this person is probably referring to (glitche) is MUCH more limited (i own the app) and would not be able to create the effect in that way.
Do you know what app because holy shit yes
Ride is the beast I worship.

Althony Mediatano here
No love deep web’s cover is just Zach Hill’s weenie
And it's fckin M A S S I V E
its P I N K too!
& with the words "NO LOVE DEEP WEB" written on it with a sharpie
BRO YOU LEGIT MADE A VID ON DEATH GRIPS LETS GOOO. Can't tell if this is for april fools or not but esketit
APRIL FOOLS I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU
Alfo Media AHHH
YUH
NICK I WAS GONNA TWEET THIS @ YOU CAUSE YOU AND ALFO SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME
I hope that *"esketit"* was Your prank..
The majority of Hot Head is an absolute mess, yep. But what still makes it worthwhile is that all the jumbled noise in the first part transitions into a catchy as fuck-hook that makes up for all the insanity beforehand.
^^^^^ a good point
I groove the fuck out of that song.
My cobra head draped in mota
Thats how i used to feel, but youd be suprised how many people like death grips. Or at least people who know them as a meme, but you can teach them, that its actualy good, with enough time
Are you that guy from the album of the year reviews?
It took me forever to like them so whenever I show someone a song and they hate it I practically have to force them to try 3 songs and read lyrics. Everyone said Money Store was the most accessible. But I thought they were shit when I heard that album. No Love and Guillotine were the songs that made me say "wait this is actually pretty good". And then I went back and loved Money Store.
Christian Rogers yeah took me many listens as well. I quit on them but something made me come back to them and then I finally fell in love lol
i swear i see you on every death grips related video, good job
Not gonna lie, I started listening to them ironically and slowly started to like them.
I don’t think I’m angry enough to enjoy this type of music
Individual Situation hahahaha that's hilarious, I think you do have to have a little flame inside of you to really enjoy this heavy music 😅😂
You don’t have to be. All it takes is being OK with music to touch you in places that you maybe uncomfortable with. just allow it to take you to a place you’ve never been. This not just with deathgrips. This is with any band that puts emotion into their music. Death grips is like a horror movie of music.
If you're more for a more pop-centric experience but with a similar level of experimentation, I recommend SOPHIE. Her music is more pop/avant-garde, but her songs Not Okay, Whole New World/Pretend World, Ponyboy, Faceshopping or L.O.V.E. are more on the more Industrial/death grips-y side.
COME UP AND GET MEEE
@deven woznick yeah im not into it or get it at all either...
My girlfriend loves Brockhampton, Rex, Gus, and many other artists you've covered. So hopefully this will convert her
update:
the girl I dated at the time was never converted to death grips, although this wasn't the reason for our relationship's end, it was certainly a factor.
Those dudes are polar opposites of dg
@@FireDreamShow Well his gf seems like she's becoming pretty open.
Luca P brock go hard
Imagine have a girlfriend
@kdkfh oh yeah I'm a huge fan of BH as well, I put her onto them in fact. I was just giving some examples of artists alfo covered that are very unlike dg.
I'm not sure if they're all THAT underground anymore. They got featured in a Bojack Horseman episode alongside Courtney Barnett.
Neckbeard Jones what episode?
@@natogorp23 it's in season 1 If memory serves. Its the episode where Bojack and friends do all the drugs.
Lol, I didm't know that
what song?
I just discovered them a couple months ago. But I'm old aka 34
NOIDED
For real though, good video, Death Grips is one of the most refreshing groups I’ve ever listened to and I’m so hyped about the new album. Also the fact that they just know everyone in the music industry is fucking hilarious
I've seen footage!
IMPOSSIBLE to not sound pretentious when talking about death grips I swear
Someone I know went to a death grips concert and came back with someone else’s blood all over their shirt
Least violent death grips concert
I actually really like "Hot Head". The song is genius because it's totally nonsensical at first but then becomes this awesome and totally chill reggae song.
You have to sit through the "Bla bla bla bla, Oh no" chops to get to the good part. That's exactly what the album "Bottomless Pit" is all about. It's like a pile of garbage that has gems in it.
That's the best way to describe it, really.
In the best way possible
no cause it’s literally the song that made me fall in love with death grips
Bedrooms, Spikes, Houdini, Bubbles, Hothead etc all Bangers 🔥
Bottomless Pit is probably in my Top 3 from DG
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
Death Grips > UK Grime
DG and Grime are entirely different things.
'A Category Error' is what you have just offered us.
Modern grime scene yes but early 2000s is completely different to modern
DG sounds to me like something from the UK in the 90s or oo
That’s because it is boring
Dudecactus Death Eyes Grips Dragon
DG is the most important group in modern music
100%
they actually embody a full genre and movement just as a band
i almost feel like punk rock is dead and death grips fully revitalised exactly what punk stood for/ was meant to be and no other band have done the same
SEPHA. exactly.
Lg *y e a r o f t h e s n i t c h*
"One of my favourite groups in all of music is admittedly difficult to talk about with the average person." This is my problem with everything I listen to.
I relate to that statement too much
Oooof look at me I listen to music that isn't in the top 50 charts
DiscipleOfSound omfg ur so cool
Same. I listen to a lot of experimental music. Plenty of techno, ambient (the countless subgenres within those) etc. Ambient is this great ocean of tranquility revealed by sunlight, but not piercing the lovely and terrifying darkness further down (dark ambient that is)
I agree 100%
Girl lemme play you some shit you've never heard before *blasts death grips and brock Hampton while wearing needle drop t-shirt*
+1
I think she has almost defiantly heard Brockhampton. Play her some Injury Reserve instead.
Lloyd Nix hell yeah! Brockhampton is good but I think injury reserve are underrated. They need more attention on them forsure .
I give your comment a light to decent 7
this hurt me
Death Grips mashups on UA-cam are a good way to introduce new listeners too. A lot of time pop songs give a context to his flow and make his lyrics clearer. It just goes to show that Death Grips fans don't take themselves to seriously.
Is it possible to claim MC Ride as an SCP, he’s so fucking badass
I've been a fan of death grips for around 5-6 years now, I've only met one other person who's not family who listens to them. Death Grips is definitely one of my favorite artists as of now in my life. I love sharing music with people and opening their minds to stuff they've never experienced. Fantastic video.
Knowing that MC Ride is in my area gave me many sleepless nights
got ready to hear mc ride in the intro and i got all tense and then the copyright claim struck this was the worst eargasm ever bahsnfngm
zach hill is probably one of the best drummers in the world. he's always been experimental too. watch him drum on his old bands song. it's called "biblical violence" - by Hella
HA! GABE! His drum solo on The Horn Section is fabulous as well
No fucking way, I added that song to my playlist last month not even knowing Zach was a part of that. Crazy
I hadn't realised how many of my favourite videos on music came from this channel until now! The Brockhampton break downs and now Death Grips? Consider me subscribed and thirsting for more! 💖💖💖💖
Thank you dude. I was wondering for the longest if/why people liked this band. Now I can appreciate their uniqueness. Thanks again!
This is truly one of the most important groups ever. And will be missed.
I don't think they collaborated with Bjork. Weren't they just sampling her vocals?
"i am proud to announce my vocals landed on the new death grips album ! i adore death grips and i am thrilled to be their "found object" ! i have been lucky enough to hang and exchange music loves w/ them and witness them grow !! epic : onwards !!"
this is a quote from her Facebook page. it's not exactly sure how she contributed to the album, but a lot of people (myself included) think she did some production too
Bjork sent them samples, asking them if they wanted to use them, and they made an entire album out of them
They sampled Lionsong before that song was out, or likely even finished.
Could have at least mentioned that ‘you might think he loves you...’ is the exact lyrics from Dylan’s song ‘leopard-skin pill-box hat’.
Nice vid tho
Oh shit this is going down boi! Anyone else noided? 🚀
Lie Likes Music I've seen the footage
No Love.
Lie Likes Music I hope you make a video about them, maybe after the new album comes out
i found you again
5:00 OH NO I LEFT MY PHONE AT ARBY’S DAMN IT
"Death Grips was a huge inspiration for his last album Black Star" so that explains it
Talking about one of my favorite bands ever, what a treat intro to this channel, I’ll sub
Yung Death we need more people like you
This was a really incredible intro to Death Grips. I have to say though, I find the More Than The Fairy video the most unsettling. Something about Ride's low growl, Les' frantic bass riffing, and the flashing banana on a cord all combine to make the perfect fever dream.
I'm definitely subbing. Glad I stumbled across this.
Death grips is the dark souls of music
When I describe Death Grips to people, it's "A group that is obsessively dedicated to delivering the sound of being on every drug at the same time."
i describe them as rap but not rap at the same time
Saw them live back in November and gotta say that was the best live show I ever seen man
I accidentally discovered them and HOLY SHIT , I am glad I did . I generally listen to death metal and other sub genres , occasionally I’ll delve into extreme metal . This group is exceptional. The music just makes sense , if that makes sense ? Lol . I have no words just admiration for what they do
Everything about your channel is perfect!! Your music taste is so similar to what I'm listening to at the moment and just feeds me information in a way that only makes me admire the artist more!. I love music so much and your channel puts into words what I wanna tell people about bands/artists and the industry. Thanks again. Also my Fav death grips song is hot head and bubbles burried in this jungle : )
thank you sm!
You know, I think it’s interesting: Most folks I’ve met who come to Death Grips from a hip-hop background find them overwhelming or maybe a bit too intense at first, before eventually coming around. On the other hand, noise/experimental, metal, and punk folks I know have seemed pretty open to them at first. They might sound FANTASTIC, but not necessarily shocking or particularly intense, at least from what I’ve encountered, to those audiences.
yeeboii I think the way they’ve merged hip hop and noise/industrial and metal and all of that was definitely new ground, but I also don’t think it’s on some new frontier of abrasiveness or intensity (except in hip hop). It’s just really damn good at being what it is.
I remember when my friends introduced me to Death Grips. It kinda was a joke among my friend group because of how unconventional their music is, and they expected me to dislike it, but now it is one of the groups I listen to most, and after a few years I probably listen to it most of that friend group
One of the best Death Grips videos I've ever seen man great job
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Death Grips. The music is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the lyrics will go over a typical listeners head. There’s also MC Rides’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realise that they’re not just angery- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Death Grips truly ARE idiots.
Ultra Nyan hahaha your comment sounds funny to start but I definitely agree with you, people already don't pay attention to lyrics and meaning but alot of death grips songs are deep and need certain amount of life experience to understand where he's emotion is coming from
Metalhiram its a meme
Luis Rdz your life is a meme dawg get at me wazzup
Luis Rdz your life is a meme dawg get at me wazzup
Ok it's these kind of things that irritate me. 'You must be smart.' You don't have to be smart, you have to have your own opinion. I hate death grips because to me it isn't music, that doesn't mean I have a lower IQ than you.
Hey, the "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat" thing is actually from Bob Dylan! As a huge fan of Dylan, its on his Album "Blonde on Blonde".
Fun to tell people that you like both Bob Dylan, and Death Grips!
I am so torn because I recently discovered "I've seen fottage" and I can't stop listening to it. It's such a badass song, I love the lyrics and the feeling they convey and the badass e-guitar or whatever creates that drive throughout the song. I've listened to their other songs multiple times now but I just can't make it work for me. It's not that I dislike the mostly chaotic tracks but there is just this drive missing that "I've seenfottage" gives me. I dunno if this makes any sense tho...
Yeah, you like hooks and steady beats. There's nothing at all wrong with that, Nirvana are an excellent band and a lot of their melodies are pop. Nobody has to like death grips and liking death grips doesn't mean you like music more than someone who doesn't. If you like angry music that is smart and also catchy maybe try the clash.
@@michaelhall5429 thanks will definitely check out the clash :)
@@nikfs5620 no worries. Hope you like them. Their last album is trash and there aren't any hip hop elements like in death grips but they are clever, catchy and moderately angry. If you want some catchier hip hop stuff that is still angry you could try clipping or run the jewels (who you probably already know). Good luck finding music you like bud.
On GP is probably one of their more rock songs
ALFO IS ONLINE
It’s weird how much your impression can change. The first time I heard them I thought it was just a bunch of white noise and screaming, but after a few listens to their albums I started ”understanding” it. It actually started sounding like a good song with great melodies, amazing drums, catchy verses and hooks and an overall hype and intense sound.
I started listening to Death Grips maybe two or three weeks ago but it feels as though it's been years. They immediately became a part of my daily routine. The gym, walking to or from work, waking up in the morning, getting out of the shower. I've seen a comment on here that says "I do not remember life before Death Grips."
Thank. You.
I don't know you, but I like your profile pic.
wozing repping Milo:)
Ahhh you like milo? He's cool
milo so underrated bro
Damn. 'Guillotine' was my introduction to Death Grips. Since then i can feel myself falling into some kind of feverish trance when i listen to them too closely.
I love Death Grips.
I just found this channel through this video because I'm interested in Death Grips although I didn't really like the 2 or 3 songs I heard (just found it weird). Then I checked out the rest of your content: I also love BROCKHAMPTON, Sing Street, Columbus, Frank Ocean, Remo Drive, Maggie Rogers, Clairo and Kanye West.
So yeah, I'm trusting you on this one.
And if your taste really is like mine, I bet there's going to be a Carly Rae Jepsen or Childish Gambino video soon.
#ProtectCarlyRaeJepsenAtAllCosts
Try the money store
lukke Don't force yourself to like something.
lmao who said I was going to force myself to like them? I’m just gonna try out an album and see how I feel about it, instead of judging a band for like, 3 random songs.
I became a fan pretty much on the spot at a death grips concert. My friends were into them and I had heard a few songs and thought they were a bit too much so just never got into it. Well I got a bit of fomo and had money left over so I went and saw them with my friends anyway. I was blown away. I have been to over 100 concerts with mostly rock and metal artists at that point and I had never seen anything like death grips. I've never seen an audience go so fucking hard. It was amazing. Amazing energy. A dude broke his arm in the moshpit even. Theyre giving slayer concerts a run for their money. And the audience was so diverse tastewise. Metalheads, punkrockers, hip hop dudes, hipster kids, you name it. After that I was hooked and could not stop listening. Everyone should give death grips an honest try.
Love this band. MC Ride is a tragic heart with a beautiful soul.
I needed this. People have asked me about death grips and Anthony Fantano and random people have referenced death grips and I couldn’t understand them. I only saw 2 videos so far so I was trying to find like a video explaining them to me.
Every video you put out makes me wonder more and more if we are the same person
luckily there is one thing that will always divide us: only one of us is made out of avocados
I'm digging the Melted pic, my favorite album from Ty
Ty guy? Pretty cool
I've been listening to Death Grips for years, I still loved this video even if I expected you to break out in laughter at anytime.
*I will be sure to send this to friends to explain Death Grips, you did it perfectly.*
I STAY NOIDED
Crouching tiger hidden gabber is on of the most entrancing, fucking revelatory 22 minutes of bliss ever recorded.
For a music writer, you should know classics like bob dylan..the leopard skin pill box hat quote is his originally.
The crowd going wild when Ride destroyed that iMac is the funniest thing I've seen today.
Yeah I’m already a huge fan Death Grips but I’m here cause I love your content
these guys are great to listen to when I'm doing cardio
I was hoping you'd mention the mashup culture. People tend to mix DG with synthwave and other stuff and the outcome is almost always majestic.
There’s this the smiths and DG mashup and it’s fucking great
My gf introduced me to this and Im so confused
Giving bad people good ideas
The Money Store is amazing
Imagine a Beyonce and Death Grips collab.
I absolutely love death grips. The screaming deep dark lyrics, the raw, visceral and addicting back round beats blew my mind when I heard the money store. Thank you for covering them you've got a new sub
It’s kinda hard/enjoy Death Grips’ harsh style but if you were to enjoy it, you get straight up addicted to there music
Death grips music videos and songs feel like the adult swim shows that you wake up to at 2am
Damn, the fever being claimed at the beginning there really spoilt the flow of that intro. Also, massively blue balled all us DG fans lmao
Thanks mate! This is a great summary of a band. I'm not sure if I'm going to listen a lot, but this gave me an idea and your explanation seems really fair and well balanced! Cheers!
Just show them takyon, they'll get it.
*I loved Death Grips with the 'leeside halloween skate video'.... perfect in ever way*
first Death Grips experience EXMILITARY
Hot Head is a banger honestly. It took me a long time to 'get it' but when I did it became incredible catchy somehow
When I first heard about death grips I honestly thought they were a heavy metal band
HELL YEAH LOVE ME SOME DG
The leopard skin pill box hat line is from a song written by bob dylan with the on the album blonde on blonde
Hot Head is actually one of my favourite lol it gets so good
same
got my one of my friends into death grips, i can understand why you made this, it feels great to get people involved and passionate about things
Ahhhh omg, I had the pleasure to see death grips live in august, one of the weirdest but best concerts ever, great vid btw ❤
Kero Kero Bonito covering I've Seen Footage led me to binge all of Death Grips' songs and that led me to this video which is pretty awesome.
same!
Every time a see a Death Grips video in my recommended i can't tell if im gonna watch a meme or a serious video.
i was confused and at first of what i thought of em but then i loved this shit cuz it’s PURE FKN ART it’s to good!
First heard about Death Grips in college. Was a fan of Antoine Fantoine. Hadn't seen his old Death Grips reviews and he posts a video on Bottomless Pit. Gives it a 9/10. I saw it was experimental hip hop, and I'd been listening to MF Doom, MC Paul Barman, Kendrick, Open Mike, Danny Brown... quite a bit of lyrical hip hop. I'd been an 80's punk/thrash/shoegaze fan in high school, so I thought I understood abrasive music. Listened to Bottomless Pit the first time... *WHAT THE F$CK IS THIS* . I think on my first listen I could only even begin grasping 'Eh'. Everything else was un-listenable. I've gotten more into them now, but even on what in retrospect is their most 'pop-y' album, Death Grips is like a brick wall.
Derek Troxel haha that's a great reaction, bottomless pits actual song is so badass that's like a actual thrash of this generation 👌
