Yeah, I was wondering how you missed that, especially with the lines: 𝕄𝕦𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕕 𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕨𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕠𝕨𝕤, 𝕥𝕨𝕠 𝕖𝕩𝕚𝕥𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕥 𝕠𝕣 𝕟𝕠𝕤𝕖𝕕𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕟𝕖𝕩𝕥 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝕤𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕕𝕤 and ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕦𝕡 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕞𝕖❕
No shit I was selling a bunch of old iPods at a pawn shop and the guy who was helping me was some angry black guy... one of the iPods was my death grips and grimes-only iPod nano and I was like "just so you know there's a good chance that one is going to pop up with an album cover that's just a big fat white dick" and he just busted up laughing
>2014 >Gripstano: >What should I review next, Bottomless Pit by Death Grips? >2016 >Death Grips releases an album titled Bottomless Pit What the fuck?!
1953: What should I review next my you might think he loves you for your money but I know what he really loves you for its your brand new leapord skin pillbox hats? 2014: Death Grips releases a song called you might think he loves you for your money but I know what he really loves you for its your brand new leapord skin pillbox hat. Woah.
I looove Lock Your Doors. Idk why, I've just always loved when producers sample large crowds. It sounds cool as shit. I also love that really deep, dark synth. It's fucking badass.
seeing that shit live was something else... feeling that dark bass synth go through your body and ride silhouetted behind red light in a dark room... fucking intense performance, was their first time playing the track that tour i got lucky haha
Funny story, when I was first listening to this album with headphones on almost full blast, I somehow feel asleep. Falling asleep to Death Grips, ain't that some shit
What sucks more than anything is that i have rewatched all anthonys death grips reviews to see if hes got one of his fucked up hairstyles in one so i could say "FUCK IS THAT A HAIRSTYLE?"
@@Scroolewse he did but I can see that being the worst on the money store (still good the money store a no miss album) I just think the other picks imo are more drastic
when i say 808 drum timbres, i meant exactly that: the sounds. they don't make 808s anymore, bro. i'm pretty sure of that. the sounds you're hearing on this record come from that original archetype, but they can be programmed into anything these days. there are loads of electronic drum kids and DAWs that have the original 808 sounds in them still. a lot of big krit songs still feature those 808 sounds, too.
I'm serious when I say this album is a 10 for me. Every track works for me. Even if a track has maybe a weaker element, it has ANOTHER that makes up for that fact. It's still a unique and stand out project to this day from the group.
I think that's possibly the first time Ive heard someone mention how the release of an album In relation to the rest of an artist's discography can impact your opinion on it... Very interesting concept
Definitely. He has said himself, that he views each album in relation to the rest of the band's discography and how far along into their catalog the album is.
I feel it's been reevaluted at this point--the discography is quite rich and insanely stacked. When the (opinions incoming) worst LP is either Government Plates or Fashion Week.. you have an insanely consistent run of an artist group.
i'm not even sure if you COULD make this album with an 808. the beats are too complex, i think. not sure if you can make beats this strange, sporadic with an 808.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'll have to give Money Store another, more thorough listen but I just can't seem to understand how it's most people's favorite album.
Senmaida In Utero absolutely is better than Nevermind. Notice the correlation between how immediately digestible a Nirvana album is and its popularity.
I feel like The Money Store is what M.C. Ride is like when he's out on the town, partying/celebrating (in his own context of course). No Love Deep Web is what he's like when he gets back home and starts reflecting on everything...
Anthony, if I may speak from the heart for a sec. I just want to thank you for doing what you do. Your vids have introduced me to lots of great tunes, including Death Grips, and thus have improved the quality of my life. Muchas gracias.
Insanely based™ and i have no idea how people can write off their entire discography as a band, shite as a fundamental concept, despite their adamant pro-consumer actions
First album I've heard from DG, got me hooked af. The crazy thing is that, no matter how many times you listen to any track, MS, NLDW or any album for that matter, it's crazy how many details are there. Lyrics, samples, progressions. They be stacking noises like mad. Lit AF
Thank you Anthony Fantano. At first I just wasn't into these guys but now I just can't stop listening to them. It is so dark and it makes a perfect soundtrack for Mexico City.
Y'all just don't know how RU-vid comments and replies worked back in the day. You couldn't reply directly so when you go back to old videos you see all these random comments
they probably were. i'm just saying the SOUNDS came from an 808, ya know? 808 sounds are in tons of electronic drum kids and daws these days. they don't even make 808s anymore, but that's where a lot of the drum sounds on this album come from, ya know what i mean? people still use the sounds, just not the machine anymore. got me?
In continuation: I feel like every Death Grips album is the result of baptizing the previous recording sessions to then wash deeper in the muck that is their sound. This time able to go deeper into the 'valley of darkness' with their beacon of reborn light. --Just to sound a little poetic about them.
Hey Anthony, I have been watching you since you started reviewing albums and still watch all of your videos. I have been through 3 youtube accounts (still sub you on all of them) in that time. Anyways I was listening to some songs off of this album on your podcast and finally got into them. I couldn't get into their sound until this album. I don't like the album cover, but the sounds are great. Thanks for making the podcast. Its one of the best parts of my week.
1. NOTM 2. GP 3. NLDW 4. TMS 5. JD 6. EM All very close but I can definitively say that Niggas On The Moon is my favorite. I hope The Bottomless Pit changes that tho...
