Death Grips (Music)	comment	Formed in December of 2010, Death Grips is an experimental hip hop group that consists of rapper Stefan Burnett (aka MC Ride), drummer Zach Hill (of the band Hella) and producer Andy Morin.Their music is a unique and hyper-aggressive blend of noise, samples, noise, Hill's insane drumming, Ride's loud vocals, chaotic production, noise, and subverting and deconstructing almost every hip hop trope under the sun. (But to make for less of a mouthful, it's been summarized as "industrial hip hop" — although that doesn't even cover everything they do.)They're also known for the sheer nightmarish ferocity of their live shows and the massive following they've gained on the Internet, especially on 4chan's /mu/ board (as well as the Fountain of Memes that has grown as a result).They're (in)famous for using this extensive following to confound or deliberately mislead fans' expectations, with a famous example being when they announced that they were disbanding in 2014... only to continue making music several months later, to no one's surprise.Discography: Death Grips (EP) (2011) Exmilitary (mixtape) (2011) The Money Store (2012) NO LOVE DEEP WEB (2012) Government Plates (2013) Fashion Week (2015) The Powers That B (double album) (2015) Niggas on the Moon (disc 1) (2014) Jenny Death (disc 2) (2015) Interview 2016 (EP) (2016) Bottomless Pit (2016) Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix) (EP) (2017) Year of the Snitch (2018) Gmail and the Restraining Orders (EP) (2019)

Death Grips (Music) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: NO LOVE DEEP WEB (somehow) manages to be this despite the band already having some of the darkest output of any rap group, with both the lyrics and musical production being bleaker to commemorate the album's focus on atmosphere as opposed to The Money Store, which relied mainly on catchy hooks. The Powers That B manages to be even darker than that.

Death Grips (Music) / int_22093e9b	type	New Sound Album
Death Grips (Music) / int_22093e9b	comment	New Sound Album: While they still fall under the umbrella of industrial hip-hop, each of their albums is this compared to the previous one. Exmilitary was a lot more hook- and beat-driven than their debut EP. The Money Store was considerably more electronic and less sample-based than Exmilitary. NO LOVE DEEP WEB eschews catchy hooks in general in exchange for a deeper focus on atmosphere. Government Plates took this to a new level, with a much larger emphasis on experimental electronic production and much less rapping from MC Ride. And then Ride returned in a big way for Niggas on the Moon, which in general features more frenetic production, cleaner, quieter, yet far more absurd verses from Ride, and samples from Björk on every track. Let's not forget Fashion Week, which takes the roots of Government Plates and plays with them at will, having special amounts of freedom since it's a wholly instrumental album. Bottomless Pit hearkens back to the accessibility and catchiness of Money Store combined with the raw aggression of Exmilitary which, at its most intense, begins crossing into grounds of heavy metal ("Giving Bad People Good Ideas", "Ring a Bell", "Bottomless Pit"). Year of the Snitch leaned even harder on their hip-hop roots (complete with scratches), but expanded their pallet even further, going into uncharted territory for the group.

On the album Fashion Week, all of the tracks' letters spell that phrase. "Zach here, thanks man" finally appeared on the official Death Grips twitter on April Fools' Day 2015. The first track off Year of the Snitch is called "Death Grips Is Online", a phrase infamously retweeted en masse by the band's Twitter when tweeted out by fans.

Death Grips (Music) / int_415b3315	comment	Stylistic Suck: Their songs are intentionally brickwalled and compressed to a brutal degree, and their videos are about as close to a live-action Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff as you can get. Take the videos for "Guillotine," "The Fever (Aye Aye)," and "Takyon," for example. This applies to the visuals for Government Plates. A music video was made for each song, and most of them include rotating 3D art looping over and over on a black background. "Eh", fitting for a song about indifference, is deliberately phoned-in—it even has the only video not directed (or co-directed) by the group.

Death Grips (Music) / int_515eeccc	comment	Sampling: Extensively. Often overlaps with Everything Is an Instrument (see above). The following examples are just some of the examples in their music. Their debut EP's first track primarily samples Nancy Sinatra's "Lightning's Girl". Exmilitary: The album starts with the famous "I roll the nickels" clip by Charles Manson. "Klink" primarily samples Black Flag's "Rise Above". "I Want It I Need It" primarily samples Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive". "Lord of the Game" features the "I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE!" clip from Arthur Brown's "Fire". "Spread Eagle Cross the Block" primarily samples Link Wray's "Rumble". The band has actually sampled themselves on multiple albums. This is most prevalent in Year of the Snitch, which mostly samples Exmilitary.

Death Grips (Music) / int_53224e46	comment	Bookends: In "Beware," the song starts out with the chorus, moves onto the "And I know soon come my time" verse, and proceeds into three minutes of other verses, before repeating the same "And I know soon come my time" verse and ending with the chorus. If The Powers That B really was the band's final album (as was thought to be the case upon release), the first and last songs of their discography would've been called "Death Grips"note the first song on their debut self-titled EP and "Death Grips 2.0".

The majority of the sounds are produced from basic synthesizers and 808 drums, and there are comparatively few instances of what can be identified as samples. Hill has, for the most part, traded his drumkit in for some electronic drumpads. Government Plates can be argued to be even more stripped down.

Death Grips (Music) / int_a0d3818f	type	Digital Piracy Is Okay
Death Grips (Music) / int_a0d3818f	comment	Digital Piracy Is Okay: No Love Deep Web was leaked by the band themselves in response to Epic refusing to release the album in 2012; the album racked up over 30 million BitTorrent downloads, making it the most legally torrented album of the year. While not exactly piracy, the list of works self-released for free reads far longer than their list of conventionally released works: the Death Grips EP, Exmilitary (and its accompanying stem collection Black Google), Government Plates, Niggas on the Moon, Fashion Week, Interview 2016, Steroids, and the first two albums from side project The i.l.y's, I've Always Been Good at True Love and Scum With Boundaries. Both the instrumentals and an unmastered version of The Money Store have been put out there, as well as the instrumental/acapella stems for Bottomless Pit and instrumentals for Year of the Snitch. The band also uploads all their music to YouTube and SoundCloud on the day of release. Jenny Death, in fact, was released on YouTube nearly two weeks before its official release in response to it being leaked.

Death Grips (Music) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The song title "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" is of course a Bob Dylan lyric. "Hunger Games" kind of goes without saying. See Exorcist Head above. Niggas on the Moon seems to reference "Niggas in Paris" by Kanye West and Jay-Z. Likewise, Jenny Death is the name of a fictional member of Coil spinoff Black Light District. The last verse of "Inanimate Sensation" is ripe with references to various (mostly) rock songs, namedropping "Mean Mr. Mustard", "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)", "Watch That Man", "Endless Nameless", "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" and "Brooklyn Zoo". "Streaky"'s chorus starts with "Don't throw it on the ground", which is enunciated in the same way, cementing the reference. "Centuries of Damn" seems to have a sly reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion of all things in its lyrics, with imagery apparently referring to the crucified Angel Lilith. "Black Paint" is likely a reference to "Paint It Black". The physical release of No Love Deep Web packages the album in an outer black nylon bag to obscure the cover photo of Zack Hill's penis, borrowing a technique from both Roxy Music (for Country Life, albeit with a green bag) and fellow Harvest Records alum Pink Floyd (for Wish You Were Here (1975), also with a black bag). "Blood Creepin" drops in a reference to Sonic Youth.

We then see Zach crawling around like a loon in front of people on the hills of Hollywood before sliding back down the hill. And to top it all off, we come back to Zach wiping himself four times (with the same piece of toilet paper, no less) to reveal purple, green, blue, and black liquids on the paper, with footage of Zach placing his hand a weird crystal planted on top of the actual crystal in shot, presumbably for weirdness' sake.

"System Blower" sampled the sound of a passing train and fashioned its distinctive bridge from the sound of Venus Williams returning a strike. "Death Grips is Online" and "Outro" feature Lucas Abela playing plate glass—with his face, through a pickup and a bunch of guitar pedals.

Death Grips (Music) / int_e431c24c	comment	Not Quite Dead: Despite the band making a big statement that they were breaking up, they not only put out more music afterwards but left lots of fans in disbelief—not shocked disbelief, but "I know that this isn't true" disbelief. Soon enough, the band not only completed The Powers That B but confirmed on Facebook that their music-making days aren't quite over.

Death Grips (Music) / int_e7e558	type	The Oner
Death Grips (Music) / int_e7e558	comment	The Oner: The video for "You might think..." and the first video for "On GP". In fact, the latter actually confused viewers initially, since the band members are so still in the video that many thought it was a still image (they do move later in the video). "I Break Mirrors With My Face In The United States" is uninterrupted footage of the band rehearsing the song taken from cameras attached to the band members' wrists. The first time, it's shown from Zach's camera; then, the same footage is shown from Ride's camera.

Death Grips (Music) / int_ea454c4a	comment	Surprisingly Gentle Song: Their calmest songs musically tend to be their heaviest lyrically, such as "On GP" mostly being nihilistic brooding about life and the pointlessness of it.

Death Grips (Music) / int_ecf2949f	type	Surreal Music Video
Death Grips (Music) / int_ecf2949f	comment	Surreal Music Video: Almost their default. "Guillotine" has Ride rapping the lyrics in the passenger seat of a car, with a majority of the screen being consumed by grainy distortion. "The Fever" has the band performing the song, but with an extremely weird darkening filter on the footage. "Full Moon (Death Classic)" switches between Ride ferociously rapping as the footage flickers to no end and grotesquely candid footage of one bird preying on another. "Come Up and Get Me" has a 9-minute "short film" at the start, which treats us with largely silent black-and-white footage of Ride going insane. "No Love" is a Performance Video with the footage split into two parts put up against each other; one part is completely tinted red, and the other is tinted green. Not to mention the sliding captions at the bottom that are in an order such as this: "on the first day I gave a fuck", "on the second day I did not give a fuck", "on the third day I gave a fuck". This then leads to the song and video sometimes being interrupted by a caption that reads: "1000%!!! I USED TO GIVE A FUCK" and a video-only metal-esque guitar riff. "Eh" has an interesting visual effect where all of the people in the video are rendered through neon-like lines of digital animation. Conversely, "Giving Bad People Good Ideas" was filmed on (literally) a shoestring budget and has a shoe being dismantled, and even lip syncing some parts of the song. "Takyon" alternates between a masked individual exploring an abandoned office and Ride rapping with a weird, watery effect on top of the footage. "You Might Think" starts with 15 seconds of a fire being lit and then has a close-up of Ride as he utterly loses his shit in front of the camera. Every other song on Government Plates has a video featuring loops of CGI animation except for "Whatever I Want", which features a POV meeting with a strange, skull-masked character who eventually leads the viewer to Ride laying face up on a bed, eyes wide open. "Streaky" features a womannote Zach Hill's girlfriend, staring into a flashing multi-coloured LED light as glitter is periodically thrown on her, with 2 alternating gifs of a hand squishing some weird objects in the top-right corner. "Flies" has MC Ride floating in the air by way of a stopmotion effect, coupled with a TV screen in a pitch-black room, displaying footage of MC Ride in a white hoodie. "Shitshow" (which was actually removed from YouTube for its "sexually provocative content" and "fetishes",f and re-uploaded onto Vimeo, so obviously NSFW) contains a fuckload of weird and downright disgusting imagery: The video kicks off with footage of first responders trying to communicate with Galen Pehrson (who animated the True Vulture video) after he suffered a seizure. With a banana randomly floating across the screen. Once the ACTUAL video starts, we aren't just treated to a couple of legs kicking frantically out from a bush, but Zach wiping his ass and a Gross-Up Close-Up of some random lady peeing on the ground. We then see Zach crawling around like a loon in front of people on the hills of Hollywood before sliding back down the hill. And to top it all off, we come back to Zach wiping himself four times (with the same piece of toilet paper, no less) to reveal purple, green, blue, and black liquids on the paper, with footage of Zach placing his hand a weird crystal planted on top of the actual crystal in shot, presumbably for weirdness' sake. If you look closely, you can slightly see Zach's balls. The video finally ends with more footage of Galen suffering from a seizure, only this time he's naked.

Death Grips (Music) / int_ee9bf817	comment	Sanity Slippage Song: Almost every song on No Love Deep Web, particularly "Come Up and Get Me" and "Deep Web". The line "Tongue cut out the mouth of reason and chucked off the river's edge" is a pretty nice summary for the whole album. There's also a hint of this on Government Plates and Niggas on the Moon, though those two are just incredibly abstract for the most part.

Death Grips (Music) / int_f3cf057b	type	Fading into the Next Song
Death Grips (Music) / int_f3cf057b	comment	Fading into the Next Song: Exmilitary has several examples: The sampled voicemail message that closes "Beware" ends with "It goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, YUH!", which is the hook of the next track, "Guillotine". The computerized female voice sample that recurs throughout and ends "Culture Shock" leads into the start of "5D". The sample at the end of "Takyon" transitions into "Cut Throat" to form the phrase "Six million ways to die, choose— death." The digital turntable scratches at the end of "Cut Throat" segue into the opening of "Klink", which starts with an analogue turntable scratch. On No Love Deep Web, the echoing voice clip of Ride at the end of "World of Dogs" sets the tempo for "Lock Your Doors". Niggas on the Moon commonly segues directly from one track to the next. Almost every song on Year of the Snitch flows seamlessly into the next, with some being Siamese Twin Songs.

The Money Store, if the "DEATH GRIPS" carved onto the masochist's chest doesn't count. There is, however, a "clean" (so to speak) version of the cover where the album's title is shown in a white text box that censors the masochist's breasts.
