Another ICP thread?

More of their stuff is just experimental hiphop but Up My Sleeves is definitely post-hiphop. notm and GP are if anything

>disregard for actual lyrical content
why do so many people believe this? what he's saying and what it means really aren't that obtuse or complicated.
>they're not this genre, whaddyakno, they're this genre
death grips were 21st century punk. Cancelling tours? Noshowing? Putting the mic in your pants and rubbing it on your nuts in the middle of a set? CLASSIC punk.
>>49587339
OP here, yes, i should have mentioned i'm talking mostly about NOTM and similar songs on their other albums
>>49587353
Which Pitchfork/Vice article did you paste that from?
>>49587348
I don't disregard the lyrics; they are super important. But some of the lyrics require, in my opinion, a deep, critical reading to appreciate them at a level beyond the superficial.
>>49587305
Is Swans post-rock?
can we just quit labelling shit henceforth
>>49587365
i know it's not popular on /mu/ to develop your own opinion, but believe it or not I don't read pitchfork or vice.
>>49587404
>yfw every band plays pop music
>>49587305
Yes, of course
they're also the first hip hop group to ever incorporate industrial elements in their songs AND the first group to rap about anything other than money and bitches. Born in le wrong generation XXDD
>>49587423
yeah, vice music is pretty much an edgier version of p4k
>>49587444
>I LOVE hip hop death gripes, kanye west, deltron 3030 the list could go on
Is Lil B Post - Hip Hop
death grips is for fuckboys
>>49587444
no one said they were the FIRST, just a notable example of a hip hop project that is going past the genre's limitations, more than most of the other projects do
>>49587455
makes sense. vice tries to be edgier than bismuth. every vice headline is some insane muckraker clickbait like OUR REPORTER LIVED AS A BRAZILLIAN PROSTITUTE FOR FIVE YEARS HERE'S HER STORY
>>49587432
It's funny because it's true.
I once heard MBDTF described as Post-Hip Hop. The label is meaningless.
>>49587482
i'm pretty sure he was sarcastic
>>49587533
lel yes, it's true, i agree, but it sure is easier to describe what an artist.band sounds like by using other terms than pop
>>49587489
nah, lil b is just a guy who can't rap
>>49587541
obviously
>>49587595
This.
lil B is a shitty rapper I hate that he is considered "avant garde" or "an outsider artist" because the only reason people care about him is his image and edgy lyrics.
>>49587595
>lil b

>SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG
>>49587650
Yes because he is name dropping celebs so that people listen to his music
Fuck KD is the epitome of an edgy song because if he had said "Fuck Lebron" no one would have given a fuck about that song.
>>49587637
seriously now, is lil b known for anything else than shitty songs [or i gues i should say because he's an outsider artist]?
>>49587637
This is an edgy as fuck video and without faggot, nigga or bitch he would have no rhymes at all. His flow is lazy and hsi delivery is as bad as usual just now he is rapping over a better beat.
>>49587707
KD was running his mouth and acts like a bitch. Have you ever seen him play? He won't play 1 on 1 against Lil B because he's scared. Oh, and he has exactly 0 (zero) rings which I guess is why he lacks the confidence to play him.
>>49587650
yes.buzzwords like swag or calling himself based god is edgy too
>>49587690
Only some of his songs are like that. Plus it's fun, nothing inherently wrong in repetition
>>49587741
he's known for his distinct style not only lyrically but vocal too. lil b changed the game
>>49587748
>edgy as fuck
>not owning a chopper
>>49587801
ah, okay, got it. ;^)
thanks for letting me in on this meme. ha ha :^)
>>49587823
>he's known for his distinct style not only lyrically but vocal too. lil b changed the game
he's just fucking lazy, there's literally nothing different about the guy except the fact he's rapping like he's about to fall asleep
the first two albums are hip-hop. i don't like the idea that "if there's any experimentation in a genre then it's suddenly a new genre." i would agree that the last two would be considered post-hip-hop
>>49587801
>>49587741
This
>KD was running his mouth and acts like a bitch
sauce?
>he has exactly 0 (zero) rings which I guess is why he lacks the confidence to play him
KD is an MVP in his profession and lil B isn't even the 20th best rapper currently. He relies on his shitty image and love from idiotic fans like you to stay relevant.
>>49587823
>guns
>saying faggot
>not edgy as fuck
We know that lil B does it on purpose.
>he's known for his distinct style not only lyrically but vocal too. lil b changed the game
Yes he is unique but that doesn't make him good or worthwhile.
> Plus it's fun
There we go this buzzword again I will say it again "fun" is not a justification for shitty music. Music can be fun and innovative, it can be fun and unique, and it can be fun without sounding like drunk rap.
>>49587305
No, its industrial hip-hop. Just like Dalek and co.
>>49587857
yeah, speed is subjugated for atmosphere but the lyrics aren't always like that

>>49587875

no, but it can be the beginning of one, or at least an influence on a new genre

yes
>>49587444
i know you may be trying to be sarcastic, but i feel as if they incorporate a lot of hardcore punk aesthetic into something foreign to punk, which is hip hop
no, kanye and death grips are what we like to call
>memerap
>>49588029
why memerap, did they make the music with the intention of creating a meme? or id/mu/ make memes out of them ?
>people get upset when they can't pidgeonhole bands
It's like Battles all over again
Death Grips is noise/glitch pop
>>49588029
Neither Kanye nor DG make music in order to market it via meme culture or some sort of online community. lil B does this and that is why he is meme rap and Kanye and DG are true artists.
>>49588088
no, they're meme rap you tryhard
>IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES
>TEACHING BITCHES HOW TO SWIM
they invented meme rap with their epitomous depute memerap album ex military
>>49588066
i hate to explain the epic meme but memerap is a non-genre. means nothing except to baffle rap fans.
>>49588075
battles is math rock
>>49587902
If he wants to put a curse on him and not let him win a title thats fine by me.
>>49588102
you're wrong, kanye perfected the memerap with 2010's mbdtf when he literally put the pussy in a sarcophagi
lil b just goes with the flow like a true poet while dg and kanye are ripping off other artists and writing the most immature and redundant lyrics imaginable
>>49588111
>having lyrics
>being a meme
>>49588130
so is Fang Island, amirite? XD
>>49587305
It's hip-hop. With unusual samples and elements of other genres.
That doesn't make it a whole other genre. Dalek is just hip-hop as well. I can accept alt-hip-hop, or experimental hip-hop, but MC Dalek would probably disregard anything you say if he'd hear shit like your post or "industrial hip-hop" come out of your mouth.

>>49588150
you didn't disprove anything i just said lol if anything you added to my argument that death grapes is meme rap i mean look at the fucking album covers they are like meme incarnated lol
>>49588102
>Death Grips
>not meme culture
Are all death grips fans this delusional?
>>49588175
but you didn't make a point in the first place. your argument for them being a meme was bringing up a couple of lines from their songs and saying they're memes
>>49588144
>kanye perfected the memerap in 2010
Does that make LR and CD memerap as well?
You realize that unlike every lil B mixtape/album MBDTF actually has great production and paints a cohesive picture of Kanye's mindset. lil B will never make an album as great at any of Kanye's albums.
>writing the most immature and redundant lyrics imaginable
Says the guy whose Based God raps about fucking bitches all the time. lil B is a joke.
>>49588205
What has DG put out that is memey?
Does MC Ride call out other famous people in an attempt to get people interest in DG?
When has DG been about anything but music?
>inb4 Adidas commercial
>>49588172
the point is lil b doesn't always drone on like people say he does
>>49588278
>nldw
>arg
>not showing up to shows, projecting an email instead
>>49588290
>il b doesn't always drone on like people say he does
Sure but he makes shitty songs about celebrities while Kanye is actually a great producer and with lyrics that are pretty interesting. Kanye also makes "fun" music too so it's not like lil B is the best "fun" artist either.
can we just agree that lil b isn't and should never be considered a relevant musician? i think it would make this thread a lot better if we didn't talk about him like he is relevant as human being
anyone who aint want Death Grips to be called hip hop must want hip hop to remain stale forever.
>>49588359
>makes shitty songs about celebrities
oh you mean like kanye does about kim? lmao kanyes lyrics have been vapid as fuck since college dropout inb4 muh new slaves
>>49588349
i don't agree that they are memerap, but even if they were, at least they have music worthy talking about, unlike lil b
>>49588349
>not showing up to shows, projecting an email instead
This is just them being unprofessional it is not memey at all
>nldw and that arg
Well they were making an album referencing the internet, so just like Childish with BTI, it makes sense to market it via the internet. The didn't make an arg for all their albums and DG is mostly about music anyway while lil B is about cooking, being "based" and living a "based life" and music is secondary to lil B fans.
>>49587305
Why are you so obsessed with labeling music with genres?
>>49588413
>at least they have music worthy talking about
Like what? Literally none of their albums were innovative so how exactly is it worth talking about?
>>49588417
>music is secondary to lil b fans
Yeah great argument, you win
>>49588155
dalek is shit and thus i don't give two flying fucks about anything they say.
>>49588399
>making a song about Hannah Montana, someone you have probably never even met.
>making a song about your gf/wife
Those are two different things faggot
I just posted a lyrically brilliant song from LR and 808s also has lyrically rich songs. Even on MBDTF Kanye's lyricism is on point:
May the Lord forgive us, may the gods be with us
In that magic hour I seen good Christians
Make rash decisions, oh she do it
What happened to religion? Oh, she lose it
She putting on her make up, she casually allure
Text message break ups, the casualty of tour
How she gon' wake up and not love me no more?
I thought I was the asshole, I guess it’s rubbing off
Hood phenomenon, the LeBron of rhyme
Hard to be humble when you stunting on a jumbotron
I’m looking at her like this what you really wanted, huh?
Why we argue anyway? Oh, I forgot, it's summertime
Yeezus is pretty bad though I can't defend it.
>>49588418
Because genres are useful
>people forgetting this was technically the first Post-Hip-Hop album
>Dem frequency and sometimes minimalist based beats
>mfw plebs will just disreguard this as edgy, memerap because this isn't some sharethread above average shit.
>>49588417
no, it doesn't matter that hey released 5/6 albums in 4 years [not even talking about the fact that they're consistent qualitywise, that's a matter of opinion], they're all about makin le memes so 4chan fgts have more buzzwordsXD
>>49588483
how is an album like notm, let's say not innovative? pretty sure not a lot of people sound like they do
>>49588418
>obsessed
all he did was start a thread trying to start a discussion, if you consider that "obsessed" you're an idiot.
>>49588583
go back to /b/, pleb
>>49588483
I'm sorry would you listen to a lil B if he had the personality of Ed Sheeran?
I would listen to Kanye regardless of the shit that he says or does outside of music, I actually hate is personality, because his music is good.
>>49588595
>lil B
>not about memes
DG makes art and lil B makes shitty rap regardless of how much content both of them have out
It's only considered hip hop because it's fronted by a black man.
>>49588583
ExM came out the same year and it's way more experimental than goblin.
>>49588632
>proving my point
>someone must've fucked his bitch
>>49588635
DG and Kanye fans are really this terrible, holy shit.
>>49588653
don't you think the fact that that black man has a vocal approach very similar to rapping helps?
>>49588655
But they both can't be Post-Hip Hop?
>>49588573
nothing special about those lyrics
>>49588595
sure, they're relatively unique among mainstream hip hop but innovative means they did something first or original.
>>49588635
I would listen to Lil B regardless of what he does outside of music, too. Because he's a good rapper
>>49588689
They're no worst than K-Pop fans.
Also
>NLDW not being the staple for Post-Hip Hop along with Dalek's discography

>>49588923
anon, pls dont open that plebby door that says "all music is subjective and we shouldn't say anything bad about other people's tastes". don't be that guy
I don't get why only Death Grips gets this label. The term should really be experimental hip-hop, because most of what we call experimental hip-hop is the same normal hip-hop formula just with unusual samples or influences. Stretch 1 and Stretch 2, the Arca EPs, are pretty good examples of what you might consider "post-hip-hop". Also track 9 on Black is Beautiful by Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland. Check it out
>>49588956
also I think people focus way too much on the sound of death grips when it's really the structure and dynamics that set them apart from other groups, as well as the drumming
>>49588713
The lyrics paint a picture of a broken relationship and I guy who thought he was the Jerk getting shown up by an equally shallow female. Ending it with the reference to summer highlights the futility of this relationship.
> he's a good rapper
Explain this without using the word "fun" or any of its synonyms.
>>49588956

selfish bump. keep the thread alive, fgtz, validate my opinions
>>49587379
some albums are
I've always thought of Death Grips as a mix of hip hop and punk. I'd call them something like experimental industrial punk hop.
>>49587379
what's the point of that question anyway?
>>49588278

have you actually listened to a whole album?

>>49590230
Fine I'm Gay is about being happy and has some shallow comments on racism. His mixtapes are all about bitches and fucking the haters though
the only way to make post hip hop a thing is making a post hip hop essential chart. do your thing, /mu

he still gets waaayy too much attention for how good he is tho

in my opinion death grips are modern day punk rock, not in a sonic sense but in attitude.
>>49595178
attutude, and image, that is. forgot image. note that image doesn't mean specifically the way they dress but more how they present themselves.
>>49595178
probably one of the few acts that actually don't give a fuck[or at least it seems like they don't]
>>49595260

just kidding, thought about it myself and wanted to see what /mu thinks about it
If say that from Ex Military to NLDW, the music is just experimental hip hop.
I could definitely see GP and NOTM being called post hip hop though. I don't know why people want to say they're punk just because of the things they did. Their actions might be considered punk, but the music isn't.
>>49595867
the punk label is kind of stupid if you're trying to describe their music. it doesn't really sound like it and actual punk was more of an image thing anyway
>>49593387

>>49595606

isnt that what you want out of music? a good time? if you laugh at his songs arent you in a way enjoying it?

No one responded in my original post so I'll just put it here. Can someone explain the extreme love that /mu/ has for Death Grips? I've listened to them and they're not bad, but it doesn't seem that deep or interesting. Pretty good electronic production, but MC Ride's yelling vocals seem unnecessary and kind of gimmicky. Am I missing something?
>>49596149
how is yelling gimmicky? there's a lot of music involving yelling
>>49596149
its taste man.
some get it some dont

Holy shit this is really bad.
No wonder people talk shit about him all the time.
>>49596245
this.
>>49596249
and this. it's ok not to like them
>>49596208
I know that's just the style but it doesn't fit on some songs. It seems like their equivalent of Hopsin wearing those contacts. And for anyone saying something about different tastes, I understand that, it just doesn't seem that good for /mu/ to dickride it the way they do. Sometimes it seems like you guys are just following the crowd
>>49596406
listen to niggas on the moon. it's a bit more inaccessible as a whole but ride's vocals are more diverse.
>>49596149
it's some of the heaviest and most energetic stuff i've ever listened to that still sounded musically innovative and not cheesy. the lyrics and his shouting really help build a character that's almost unbreakable. seriously, try to imagine mc ride going shopping with his qt gf, or making a nice meal for someone he likes. you don't even need their videos to get this image

I don't find shitty rap that (maybe?) parodies real themes in rap to be funny
This is funny:

This is why Takyon is one of my favorite songs by them. He's just going fucking nuts and the lyrics are just coming at you relentlessly.
>>49596406
>yelling
>the same as gimmicky contacts
its obviously not for you, yelling the lyrics are as big of a deal as the actual music, thats what makes the sound they're going for!
honestly it took me 2 years and a tab of LSD to get into death grips and since then I've been a huge fan.
and also
>it just doesn't seem that good for /mu/ to dickride it the way they do. Sometimes it seems like you guys are just following the crowd
maybe you should stop assuming things. /mu/ isnt one person and if you look at this thread not everyone is dickriding them.
>>49596506
>i dont find jokes funny
>i take every song ever made seriously
so when a non parody rap artist raps about selling drugs and killing when he hasnt done that in 10 years you consider that to be "real" but when someone who raps about killing and selling drugs "jokingly" you find that to be shit rap? I dont see your logic there
take pic related for example
the guy who made this is exactly the same as lil b, and if you think MISTA THUG ISOLATION is bad then your taste in hip hop is literally trash
keep in mind that this song is a parody

i also love how they instrumentals can achieve the same effect. some of their stuff sounds pretty breathtaking, in a really intense way. the way system blower sounds 40 seconds in, the end of big dipper, the synths after the hook in get got (and other moments) while not necessarily my favorite moments, they sound claustrophobic as fuck. i can't think of another artist that actually made me feel claustrophobic with this much intensity
>>49596874
>the end of big dipper
god, yes!that's one of my favorite moments of theirs, it really makes you fell like something heavy is being pressed on your head
>>49596949
i've seen some people come up with some really cool imagery for that moment on /mu/. the way the music and the structure kind of sound like they're having a mental breakdown reminds me a lot of the first track in spirit they're gone, spirit they've vanished. really an amazing moment
holy shit music fans are insufferable

notm is there best and every song is like a shot of some insane future drug

>>49597124
i second that

i still think tms is better, but fucking hell, it even if it took me a while to realise it, notm was amazing album notm
>>49597228
*even if it took me a while to realise it, notm was an amazing album
lol wtf
>>49587523
has anyone seen that Vice parody twitter account? It's fuckin brilliant
>>49596651
The layering of vocal samples was pretty cool and the beat is catchy but not that great. I am not a fan of parody rap in general but if I want this kind of rap I would listen to Gucci Mane, whose best albums are a lot better than any work by Ugly and lil B.
>>49587444
>they're also the first hip hop group to ever incorporate industrial elements in their songs AND the first group to rap about anything other than money and bitches.
lol nope

>if I wanted this kind of rap I would listen to gucci
I hope this is bait but if its not youre a huge pleb, you only say that cause gucci is a "real" rapper and UGLY MANE is a white guy from kentucky. UGLY MANE is miles ahead of gucci. youre clearly are missing the point of UGLY MANE if you think gucci and him make the same type of music. If you woulda said Juicy J or Triple Six Mafia you woulda been right.
LIL UGLY MANE is a parody/tribute to old 90s rap albums from Memphis, not only does he emulate this style perfectly he actually improves upon it with his modern production, extremely original and layered beats/samples, and his extremely witty word play on every song
>im a project ghost im a hood apparition
>live or die, id rather take the latter route, id take the ladder route, rope around my neck kick the ladder out
>bitch im morose and lugubrious, ima let the uzi spit, turn his face into gooey shit
now go listen to MISTA THUG ISOLATION and rethink your close minded ideals about hip hop otherwise you just belong on /r/hiphopheads

at least they're edgy enough to go in warzones or rough places and make some pretty decent mini docs, at least something good comes out of them being supreme edgelords
>>49587305
>every genre nowadays MUST have it's respective psot- genre
Fuck off
This is the biggest meme in the music industry and has got to stop right now. It originally made sense with post-punk. No one argued with that. Post-rock was fine and made enough sense in it's right. Post-hardcore? Reasonable enough... Post-Grunge -- why is this necessary? Nowadays it's all Post-Dubstep and Post-Vaporwave and it's all such bullshit
Before everything had to be considered post- something there, was another perfectly good word for it. What's wrong with Death Grips being experimental hip-hop?
>>49600710
think about what i said about the finished product being hip hop but not quite like it. it's just like post rock, i'm not trying to create a meme or a new genre, just to have a discussion around DG's music.
[also vaporwave is the lamest laziest shit in music right now, i agree]
>>49600560
when you used buzzword, you were using it as a buzzword
that should give you a hint
i'm not being pedantic you just totally misused it and i thought you had some reason behind it but you didn't so i'm giving you a heads up so you don't embarrass yourself next time you post
why does everyone care so much about genres and labeling the type of music. it acts as a restriction
>>49601969
Because autistic people like to categorise everything
i'm not even kidding, that's why. Those with autistic tendencies rule the internet and thus create standards like this
We went at least a month and a half without a death grips thread....

how
it doesn't change the music at all
