It's always interesting how philosophical and insightful psychos like Manson can be. Makes him more disturbing since he could make people relate to him just by sprinkling in some biblical shit. Really fucked up, but makes for a good sample.
1:05 beware 3:13 guillotine 4:57 spread eagle cross the block 6:55 lord of the game 9:03 takyon 10:59 cut throat 11:25 klink 12:43 culture shock 14:45 5d 17:00 thru the walls 17:12 known for it 18:17 i want it i need itlll 20:47 blood creepin u should def listen 2 more dg btw ,,
This is legitimately the album that turned me onto more experimental music. I didn't get it at all when I first heard it, it just sounded like grating noise and I hated it on the first listen, but there was something compelling about it and I came back to it several times. It might be my favourite DG release now, and it opened the gates to an entire new world of more underground, experimental music of all genres. Their sample game is absolutely top-notch, too - It took me years of exploring different music to catch a god-damn Magma sample on "Known For It" - they sample one of the main bass lines from their song 'De Futura'. Just genius.
Honestly this is the same experience I had when I came across this tape. I remember hearing it and not really understanding the appeal but it made me want to understand it more. I listened to it a few times and eventually maybe I didn't love it but I could appreciate parts of it (I love this tape now though, it's just so good). The experience of trying to understand it broke how I would normally look at songs as just good or bad and gave me the ability to appreciate and think about the different parts of songs which led me to some really cool music of all genres
It's funny you say that, the first time I listened to this it instantly caught my attention and I loved how raw and in your face everything was. I actually don't really like much else of DG and don't listen to similar music but this whole mixtape is utter genius imo. Absolute masterpiece of experimental music.
Since you listened to a modern hiphop classic, I would recommend Some Rap Songs, by Earl Sweatshirt, though it is on the scattered and abstract side, it is an incredible album.
One theme that can help make sense of a lot of Death Grips lyrics is that there's a lot about living in as extreme a way as possible, heedless of whether or not it shortens your life. Even the name "Death Grips," while having a bunch of meanings, also refers to a column by Michael Savage in which he talks about guys who squeeze themselves too hard in order to "get across the finish line," so to speak...and that this practice, while it might lead to stronger orgasms, also leads to premature ED. Tachyons, for example, are a hypothetical subatomic particle that always travels faster than light. Ride uses the metaphor here to talk about speed-running life, experiencing all of the most intense and liminal experiences as you hurtle toward an early grave. It's a theme he returns to throughout the discography.
if you haven't heard it already you've got to do By The Time I Get To Phoenix by Injury Reserve. Heartbreaking performances over the most insane production I've ever heard in hip-hop. Should be a must listen
This is a kinda tough sell for an album recommendation, but Atari Teenage Riot were pretty big influences for Death Grips’ sound. They’re basically like the 90’s DG except their music is more based in breakbeat-style edm and punk. If you’re curious I’d recommend 1995 (aka Delete Yourself) because although it’s not their best, it’s also not nearly as earsplittingly loud as their best.
Lemme tap in cuz this is their best album ong Also ima keep recommending these same albums Title Fight - Floral Green Alex G - DSU Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill Cap’n Jazz - Analphabetapothology Circa Survive - Juturna
this one is gonna pop OFF love ur content smags keep being u and pleaseeeee look into making a patron because then u can put out all ur stuff uncut and we can support our favorite music reactor!!!!
ok this was my #1 suggestion, so i’ll give you my #2 which is oil of every pearls un-insides by sophie. sometimes beautiful and ethereal, sometimes brutal and crushing
i am a die hard extreme metal fan, and when i saw death grips live i genuinely nearly died twice in the pit, one of the best gigs i've ever been to. just pure aggression and love
Hell yeah man! Exmilitary and The Money Store were game changing for me when they first came out. Honestly I love every album these guys have put out. Truly a unique music project and the best live show I've been too. Bottomless Pit and No Love Deep Web are both dope too, but you should listen to The Powers That B if you check out another album by them. It's a double album. The first half being glitchy electronic hip hop with beats made mostly of Bjork vocal samples, and the second half has more of a live punk/metal band sound and vibe to it. It's their most interesting project imo and definitely worth a listen
I still have faith in the first in first out system, I'm just leaving a list of all of the artists (random order) I've requested here so I don't forget them. Leonard Cohen Justice - Cross Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear Voivod - Dimension Hatröss Death from Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow The National Lights - The Dead Will Walk, Dear Cat Power Mr. Bungle - Self Titled (or) California Mastodon - Leviathan (or) Crack the Skye Jamiroquai - Travelling Without Moving Burzum - Filosofem
still loving the videos my guy a few recommendations: Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)
I would love if you would give a listen to Descendents; either Milo Goes to College or I Don’t Want to Grow Up. They basically describe gem selves as “coffee’s out blend of surf-rock-pop-punk music” and they are ok of the most influential punk bands of the 80’s.
On song #1 the music under the beat is a Janes Addiction sample. Please think about checking out Jane’s Nothing Shocking. Released in ‘88 when hair metal was still king. This album is part of “alternative” music’s rise to importance
Congrats on achieving 39/40ths of ten thousand scribers Recs: perfect from now on by built to spill (I won’t stop until you do it) Bocanada by Gustavo cerati(I’ve seen some other people recommend it and I wholeheartedly agree with them)
catching up with my favorite reactor as I cram for my communications final tomorrow morning, wish me luck fellas also if you're down to hear more music off of Spotify, please listen to Joni Mitchell's "Blue" and "Court And Spark", two of the greatest singer/songwriter albums from the 70's with lyrics that will tear your soul apart guaranteed
So, I am still here hoping for "Before The Dawn Heals Us" by M83. That being said, I currently can't stop listening to their most popular album "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming". Their biggest hits are on there and man, I just love the atmosphere. I think I still prefer "Before the Dawn" but I hope you can one day check out both, they are unique in their own way, Dawn is more post rocky, Hurry Up is more dream poppy, but I love both. I think requesting this band here, just made me listen to a lot of their stuff again, and now I'm hooked again. So yeah, still putting up another harassing comment. Really enjoy your reactions my dude, keep it up.
Also that sample that you heard in 5d is West End Girls by pet shop boys, the one with the weird music video of people at a mall or some shopping place. I was losing it when I first heard 5D.
Also if you want some really weird electronic music check out animal collectives MMP (I don’t wanna type out the whole thing), and also I’m not sure if you’ve checked out there music but you should do KGLW’s Nonagon Infinity, that album infinitely repeats
The track you thought was 9 was actually 10 which has an instrumental at the end. Thru the Walls is the one with a lot of beat switches. It then transitions into Known for It
Btw the sample that was at the beginning of through the walls was from getting high in the morning by Ariel Pink, I would love if you listened to Before Today or Pom Pom by him.
Most consistent in the game. I bet 10k hits by January. For more DG I recommend The Powers that B Other album recs: Jane Remover - Frailty or Census Designated Mineral - The Power of Failing Ecco2k - e
Takyon went so fucking hard live lol TRIPLE SIX FIVE FORKED TONGUE Edit: the synth sounding sample you were looking for is from West End Girls by the pet shop boys
Definitely going to be cool seeing you go into experimental hip hop! I'd love to hear Armand Hammer's "We Buy Diabetic Test Strips" and JPEGMafia's "LP!"
if you wanna hear more from Death Grips' drummer, Zach Hill himself, i suggest you check out either FACE TAT by Zach Hill, or Year Of The Snitch by Death Grips. two of my favourite 2023 listens.
We stayin' noided with this one. Pretty please Ys by Joanna Newsom. It's not like this, but funnily enough, JNew does feature on an album with Zac Hill, the drummer of Death Grips. The album is Nervous Cop - s/t, and it's rather mediocre, unlike Ys, which is the CEO and final boss of music.
charles manson went hard with this one 🔥🔥💯💯
With the Janes Addiction sample 🔥
say what you want but the motorcycle and a sleeping bag thing resonates hard (i am not sane)
It's always interesting how philosophical and insightful psychos like Manson can be. Makes him more disturbing since he could make people relate to him just by sprinkling in some biblical shit. Really fucked up, but makes for a good sample.

love the videos man 🗣️
The proof is in the footage
i am a die hard extreme metal fan, and when i saw death grips live i genuinely nearly died twice in the pit, one of the best gigs i've ever been to. just pure aggression and love
Mr. Smags has now hit one of my two fav artists and I’m so happy. All we need is Grouper (A I A: Alien Observer 🤞) then we got the holy duo
Hell yeah man! Exmilitary and The Money Store were game changing for me when they first came out. Honestly I love every album these guys have put out. Truly a unique music project and the best live show I've been too.

Fuck yes. You gonna make me explode Smags 😩
Suggestion (It goes it goes it goes it goes): SOAD - Hypnotize/Mezmerize
Dont ask about my source but Animal Collective and Death Grips have a collab in the works 🔥
IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES
Mellon Collie by smashing Pumpkins PLEASE also Perfect For Now On PLEASEEEEE by Built To Spill

I know you've seen this comment before but Jim O'Rourke "live at Japan 2002.9.16" is an amazing album you have to check out!
still loving the videos my guy
a few recommendations:
Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production)
Nurture - Porter Robinson (light summer electric with fun production)
Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo)
Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop)
Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)
