for real, they really left out the best tracks of ni- i mean the first half of tptb. also would've liked to see say hey kid. at least the put in up my sleeves, but they matched it up against fucking hustle bones.
He interprets Death Grips mainly trough the lense of The Money Store. While I agree it is their best album, the themes from that album are not the main themes connected to their music...
Who gives af if it’s “not the main themes connected to their music”. TMS is 40 minutes of heat, not a slow or dull moment on that album, so it’s easy to see how in a 1v1 TMS will be favoured. It’s ear candy
Big dipper is good in my opinion , i dont know man i love the weird trippy outro with the bjork vocals and the glitchy drums , I think it kinda end perfectly the first half of the album and fits with the energy of the other 7 tracks but The Fever is better for sure. Nice video man!
Just noticed how only one song on Bottomless Pit (Giving Bad People Good Ideas) made it to a quarter-final stage despite being in Fantano’s top 3 Death Grips albums lmao
Hey Anthony, Just wanted to say I honestly can't get enough of these artist brackets. Not only do I get turned on to a talented and fresh new artist, but I'm also given a slew of entry points into their discography from a perspective that I genuinely respect. It's a refreshing break from the trap-rap sink holes I recently keep finding myself in. Keep em coming! (btw currently experiencing DG for the 1st time)
"Inanimate Sensation" is one of the most cutting-edge with those revved vocals. But during the writing of this track I wonder if Zach Hill had "Grapefruit" from Marnie Stern's '07 album in mind.
First half of Powers that Be is definitely my favorite DG album. Feels to me like a fantastic combination of heavy electronic avant garde with accessible well written rap
I absolutely prefer Birds over Spread Eagle. I love the experimental production of Birds even though it has a very simple song structure. The vocal FX and the way that Zach Hill's drums were mixed to work together sound great imo. Obviously, Spread Eagle is super hype but I prefer DG's more production-oriented songs.
Hacker is forsure my favorite DG track too literally has everything you would want in one song. Great hook, memorable lines, and one of the best produced tracks ever.
I couldn’t be much happier with this list. After all these years, i still don’t think they can top hacker. That track is just insane and still crazily groundbreaking even today
My final four came out to be: The Fever, Three Bedrooms, Bitch Please, and Get Got. I think I chose The Fever and am ok with calling that my fav Death Grips song yet.
6:35 You're slippin on this pick. Also SebastiAn - Motor is one of the first tracks I know of with this motif, though I guess it's not necessarily popular music
This is pretty much a super drawn out way of saying that Hacker is his favorite Death Grips song, but still tolerable content at the end of the day. You're a good man melon.
Hacker is the fuckin best dude. It's their most quotable song I think, and it's pretty accessible without diluting the DG experience at all. It's a fuckin monster.
Putting Steroids on this was a mistake. It's more of a whole project(And my third favorite Death Grips project at that)so of course it's gonna win against these single tracks. Also, if they wanted a weird instrumental pick, Why not a Fashion Week song instead of fucking Electronic Drum Solo? It took me a minute to remember what that even was.
The fact that this guy literally chose a 2 minute minute song (Double helix) over an entire EP with 7 or 8 songs which has majority of songs a lot better than Double helix bugs the hell out of me
You might think he loves you over No Love Bass rattle stars out the sky over Centuries of Damn I've seen footage over Guillotine Anthony confirmed for smoking rock.
Centuries of Damn is one of their best. I agree with him on You Might Think He Loves You For Your Money, But I Know What He Really Loves You For It's Your Brand New Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, though. Absolutely banger.
Beware over bubbles burried in this jungle is actually a crazy pick. In my bracket it made it to the elite 8 and would have made it to the finals if Pss Pss wasn't the best death grips song ever
Fuck, for me, no song comes close to on gp, like, even outside of death grips, the sheer energy, the depressing lyrics, it's a mental breakdown made song but injected with fury, and I love every second of it
Death Grips has Anthony’s family hostage. He will keep promoting them until he knows they’re safe. Keep asking questions. Investigate death grips.
He doesn't have a family! INVESTIGATE OUR FOUNDING LIARS!
Our Founding Liars
big if true
Investigate 311
Hahaha
Zachary Dell im very happy he found the courage to break his silence

I get that you don't like Death Grips , but did you really have to call MC Ride a " *first half of powers that b* " throughout the video?
Lol pretty good chance that this is the only funny use of this comment format
"MC Ride is a nigga on the moon" are you sure this is what you mean
@@unhxlysilver1688maybe we dont know who was in paris but we at least know where has mc ride been and who was on the moon
The lack of Billy Not Really & Say Hey Kid makes me sad.
and black quarterback
the creator could have replaced steroids and electronic drum solo with these tracks
for real, they really left out the best tracks of ni- i mean the first half of tptb. also would've liked to see say hey kid. at least the put in up my sleeves, but they matched it up against fucking hustle bones.
No klink smh
@@geesegooses klink is a killer
On GP and Hacker are way too close they should be on completely opposing sites.
i've been doing this for like 45 mins and I still can't move on from this one
Well that is unfair fight
On GP is better imo
@@Yottifferent hacker is better imo
@@pinata3399 no
"Hustle Bones is hands down a slightly better song."
makes perfect sense
A little bit of a landslide if you ask me
"From *the first half of the powers that b* "
Lol he's too scared to say niggas on the moon.
*African Americans on the moon*
@@squigin3380 Hey! Watch that language. It's niggas on the lunar body.

Kinda sucks how no love got voted out so quick, it's easily better than a lot of the other tracks here
Oh no no
No Love won my bracket lol
Feel the same way about Spikes.
@@swirlingtoilets Spikes is the best track on bp imo
The song got no love
up my sleeves is one of their greatest tracks to date imo
Fantastic track, that Bjork kinda beat switch threw me off so hard on first listen, loved it and still do
yup it is an amazing opener and one of the best tracks on tptb and death grips' discography as a whole
No
Someone needs to make a compilation of Anthony doing dumb impersonations of MC Ride vocals if it hasn't been done already.
No Love is one of the best DG tracks Fantano u crazy
kit special honestly the hardest first round match up for me was that or you might think he loves you
No Love won my bracket
ik!!!
wrong
So is You Might Think He Loves You
He interprets Death Grips mainly trough the lense of The Money Store.
While I agree it is their best album, the themes from that album are not the main themes connected to their music...
the money is store is one of my least favourites, got bored of it so quick
True, comparing the lyrically focused TMS with TPTB just doesn’t make sense. They’re completely different albums and I’d say different genres
Who gives af if it’s “not the main themes connected to their music”. TMS is 40 minutes of heat, not a slow or dull moment on that album, so it’s easy to see how in a 1v1 TMS will be favoured. It’s ear candy
Big dipper is good in my opinion , i dont know man i love the weird trippy outro with the bjork vocals and the glitchy drums , I think it kinda end perfectly the first half of the album and fits with the energy of the other 7 tracks but The Fever is better for sure. Nice video man!
This bracket is bullshit due to the fact that they included "Electronic Drum Solo" but not "Billy Not Really"
YES! also Say Hey Kid and Black Quarterback
And Steroids vs Double Helix
that song is strangely gorgeous
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Whatever I Want is my favorite Death Grips song by far. It makes me crazy and makes me go into strange thoughts about life.
Me after seeing hacker was his number 1 song of the decade: “hmm, I wonder what will win”
Just noticed how only one song on Bottomless Pit (Giving Bad People Good Ideas) made it to a quarter-final stage despite being in Fantano’s top 3 Death Grips albums lmao
I almost cried when Anthony just completely ignored Centuries of Damn
4:48 This goes down in techno history

Sick. What were ur favorite tracks off TMS?
Wallchicken ! Top 3 were Punk Weight, Hustle Bones, and The Fever. But after Gov Plates I stumbled into Fashion Week and I’m reaaaaally into these.

Chris Komodo was thinking the same thing
had to make room for Electronic Drum Solo ugm
no black quarterback also smh
Bro where the fuck is klink
When known for it doesn't even make the bracket. wtf
It didn't make the cut, sorry.
I disagree with almost every single choice but in the end I still love Hacker so I guess I'll let it slide this time...
HeadsetRuler
How can you disagree with almost every choice?
Only one i got sad about was that he dumped giving bad people good ideas :(
through exaggeration
@@HeadsetRuler agreed.
@@HeadsetRuler Bottomless Pit is criminally underrated and EM/TMS are way overrated (though all death grips is good)
damn dude way to necro the thread
How the hell you gonna put Eh and Get Got together in the first round?
TeamFruitSalad it wasn’t made by Antoine
Eh, Get Got is better.
Idk man, that one is an easy get got for me. Eh is one of their most underwhelming songs for me.
Spread Eagle Cross the Block is a 10/10 masterpiece song.
This is like seeing a 5 year old pit one toy against another and see which one wins
Hey Anthony, what’s on the moon?

Real ones

We know who was in Paris, but we still don't know who was on the moon. >:( DEATH GRIPS CANNOT HIDE BEHIND THESE LIES ANY LONGER!
20:20 "on the moon" good job melon
"I do give credit for another, uh... Moon song."
Anthony, what is Moon? It feels like that's only part of the name.
I AM THE BEAST I WORSHIP
"Inanimate Sensation" is one of the most cutting-edge with those revved vocals. But during the writing of this track I wonder if Zach Hill had "Grapefruit" from Marnie Stern's '07 album in mind.
I swear if On GP doesn't win
airplaneoverthesemen ON GP isn’t even top 5 🗣🗣🗣
On GP is shit
It will be up against Hacker so quite a hard feat.
In the aeroplane over the bottomless pit
listen up you nosy bitch
easy on the good, frequent content fantano

Do lil pump next
Cat with a Gat he has like 4 songs and they are all the same song
Wow who could’ve guessed final pick would go to a Money store track... you’re so dynamic and unpredictable, Anthony
dude I've never been more hype for anything than I am for the upcoming DG album
The CEO of Death Grips fans chooses his favourite child
Madness bracket and let's argue are so good that I prefere them over reviews
First half of Powers that Be is definitely my favorite DG album. Feels to me like a fantastic combination of heavy electronic avant garde with accessible well written rap
I absolutely prefer Birds over Spread Eagle. I love the experimental production of Birds even though it has a very simple song structure. The vocal FX and the way that Zach Hill's drums were mixed to work together sound great imo. Obviously, Spread Eagle is super hype but I prefer DG's more production-oriented songs.
YOU SHOULD HAVE WORN YELLOW FOR DEATH GRIPS 😡
Hacker is forsure my favorite DG track too literally has everything you would want in one song. Great hook, memorable lines, and one of the best produced tracks ever.
so true
where tf is lock your doors?
Lil Snuggly Mane the person who made this would rather include electronic drum solo than lock your doors
them thaaangs them thaaangs dont even aaaaaask me
Yo I saw you in the unkle adams live stream! Who woulda thought there'd be fan overlap.
literally wtf
guy who made the chart knew that lock your doors would win hands down so he had to remove it
0:46 uhhh uhhhhhhhhh... UUUHUHUHUHHHHHH... the first half of the powers that b.
MAKE THIS A THING MELONBOI
no love out in the first round is crazy
Hustle Bones over Up my Sleeves? smh
Jin Roh yeah, up my sleeves and get got would prolly be my final 2
Yeah I think the powers that b got absolutely robbed as a whole in this
I just took out Steroids and Electronic Drum Solo and replaced them with Say Hey Kid and Billy Not Really. They were my final 2.
Ik dude Up My Sleeves is such a fucking banger
Idk man, they r both rlly good, but hustle bones is like rlly rlly good. Up my sleeves isn’t even my fav NOTM track. It’s good tho
THERE’S A TYPO IN THE TOP LEFT BRACKET TITLE ANTKNEE
Welp. Never thought anything I did would get featured by melon...
Aurtle The Turtle you could’ve done better
I'm a graphic designer. Not a tournament seeder. I literally just picked my favourite Grips songs and made a nice design.
Should've left off Takyon and watch the fans lose their shit
I should've had every track be replaced with Have a Sad Cum BB
Aurtle The Turtle good job dude
I couldn’t be much happier with this list. After all these years, i still don’t think they can top hacker. That track is just insane and still crazily groundbreaking even today
I understand you picking The Fever over Big Dipper but Big Dipper goes hard. The most underrated DG track IMO.
Billy not really not being there, a crime
"The first half of the powers that be "
Eakoo basically a meme now
“the cage is one of my least favorite tracks” that’s not what the description of the money store review says
My final four came out to be: The Fever, Three Bedrooms, Bitch Please, and Get Got. I think I chose The Fever and am ok with calling that my fav Death Grips song yet.
The lack of "Known For It" is a travesty
DOOM-madness should exist and you should complete such a thing
Bitch Please is One of the best Death Grips Tracks ever u trippin fantonious
Next time take some personality quizzes stayathome momtano

I would argue that “Eh” is the “Get Got” of “Bottomless Pit”
