Death Grips - Death Grips (2011)

Death Grips, EP, 2011, Takyon, Face Melter, Full Moon, Next Grips, first
A death grip isn't actually some killer position you can get someone in, in order to snap their neck or some shit, it's actually a term for when you masturbate too hard and you can't get off normally. That's a beautiful picture to paint for such beautiful music.

Deaf Grapes really are an interesting trio of sassy lads that I probably don't need to take even a moment to explain who they are or what their variety of genius is, but you're stupid and I'm still mad I couldn't go to the local motel to download movies illegally today because I'M A DUMBASS who wanted to sleep in, instead of going to a place with fast as shit internet (that shit can load like 12 pairs of boobs a second) so I could download documentaries/movies about serial killers, often multiple about the same serial killer, in an attempt to see if any of them hold any different information, and it kinda sounds like these Death Grips blokes are interested in the same shit because they're weird as hell! AND THEY'RE ANGRY!!


Built up of vocalist MC Ride, electronics expert Andy Morin (sometimes referred to as Flatlander by fans, but there's argument whether or not that's a real nickname of his.. I'm serious.), and Zach Hill of Hella/Team Sleep/so damn many more bands on drums, it's an interesting travel and experiment through sound that can be best described as being approached by three homeless men, having one scream in your face, another shove a broken CD player next to your head playing a CD that's constantly skipping, and another one (the absolute madman) hitting a steel trash can with a baseball bat violently, all while you're held down. This isn't your standard hip-hop because these kids are noisy and don't give a shit about what their mom says when they're screaming into an Xbox Live microphone, because if someone says they fucked MC Ride's mom, he has to let them know he legitimately sold theirs into human trafficking.

It takes a lot of people a few listens (if they don't immediately disregard it even a quarter into one listen) to even figure out if they like it or not, but luckily for me, I do. I don't like it as much as I like Oreos, but it's still up there. I mean, how can you listen to "Takyon (Death Yon)" and NOT want to kill absolutely everything in the history of forever and then some? Is that possible? TAKYON!!! I DON'T KNOW MANY OF THE OTHER LYRICS BUT 'EY, TAKYON!!!!!!!!! *KILLS SHIT* TAKYON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *KILLS EVEN MORE SHIT THAN BEFORE*
