How exactly did Death Grips get known?
It seemed that they were pretty unknown with the exception of Zach Hill
Wouldn't people consider that viral marketing back in the day?
Mu is all viral marketing. Didn't you know?
>>61003557
>how did a band get known
Hummmmm... By releasing good shit and touring ?
>>61003632
What about the good bands that aren't known? They didn't get instantly known.
the whole industrial hip-hop sound had been largely dormant for several years and so there was a whole generation of people who hadn't (and in several cases, still haven't, i guess) heard anything like it before
combine that with the allure of mystery given the fact that nobody knew who any of them were outside of zach hill, and a healthy dose of pure luck, and that more or less explains it
>>61003557
they got signed to epic records
Theneedledrop gave The Money Store a ten. I think that has to do quite a bit with how they "blew up", at least partially.
>>61003761
Simply epic......
I think they first got a bunch of buzz around exmillitary, at least, that's where I first heard them. A bunch of people hated them, pretentious crowd ate it up. M8 sent me guillotine for a laugh, Spread Eagle Cross the Block won me over though.
>>61003557
They are best friends with Jay z, Beyonce, and Roberto Paterson.
where do you think Beyonce got the idea of releasing a surprise album and a bunch of music videos for her songs?
She mimics a music video of there's iirc
they... they toured and did shows. thats literally how you get known. ended up on festival shows then headlined sxsw shit and people saw them and then they toured with NIN
>>61003660
theyre obviously not good enough. dg was something crazy and new so they blew up fast. if youre just another band of dudes doing rock dude music stuff no one really gives a shit.
>>61004023
It's kind of different when you're dancing around your own luxury apartment though.
>>61003898
How did Fandango get well known though? Was it just /mu/ viralling?
>>61004023
that was after they got famous and stayed at the chateau
>>61004066
how did /mu/ get well known though?
>>61004091
Probably when moot/4chan was featured in time magazine.
>>61004056
She doesn't want to seem too looney, she has to give it that Beyonce touch.
>>61004090
this is where I am stuck, I cannot tie the pieces together. If I could find that missing piece/person, it would explain how kanye knew of NLDW, how they got Beyonce to listen to their work, and how they were able to headline bigger festivals.
My current theory is Zach is good friends with Robert.
>>61004050
>crazy and new
lol
>>61004165
>My current theory is Zach is good friends with Robert.
what would make you think otherwise?
>>61004215
His music tastes. Not convincing enough to prove he is a Death Grips fan
http://www.sugarslam.com/what-music-is-rob-pattinson-listening-to/
>>61004279
he's on one of their albums tho
>>61004309
Which one???
>>61003557
>It seemed that they were pretty unknown
Everyone is unknown before they start publicly releasing music you retard. If anything DG had a headstart because Hella were actually pretty big.
>>61004066
Are you trolling? People find things on the Internet, people promote their content on the Internet, some stuff stays unpopular and some stuff becomes popular, do you have no idea how media works
>>61004279
but he played on one of their tracks and theres videos of him hanging out with dg.......are you new?
>>61004320
government plates......how new are you?
>>61004338

MC Ride sucked a lot of records executives dicks. Mostly for crack and a place to stay but finally one of them listened to his mixtape.

>>61004354
oh well that explains it. I am not a fan of Government Plates. However, I do like Fashion Week :-)
I am also not willing to spend time watching videos of him.
Welp, that's it anons. We cracked the case. Robert himself is the reason why Death Grips became "popular"
dg fanboys are so annoying. it's okay if you're butthurt all the time but at least be funny with it is all. i guess you've dried the resource on making EPIC MEMES for tumblr
>>61004434
I have to say its pretty tough to argue with that

>>61004434
how can /mu/ think DG is a meme band but FKA twigs is good fucking hell
>>61003557
it's just luck. it happens to death grips, have a nice life, deerhunter... it's like god had planned something for they, you know
I wanna know how fagthony melontano reviewed ex military a month after it was released. how did HE find that shit
>>61004524
I do have another theory but its a hip-hop/trap one and it relates to Lil Uzi and 300entertainment.
>>61004504
>newtrip calling other people newfags
simply epic
>>61004542
god doesn't real xPpPPd
>>61004551
not sure when this was but dg asked fantano to interview them and he said no
>>61004525
/mu/ posters who dont like death grips are a vocal minority
>>61004551
He probably found it here honestly
>TO PRAY IS TO ACCEPT DEFEAT
damn...
>>61004601
>i piss on ur face

making fun of death grips is too easy and is the new meme. hop on board.

dg threads are full of fans trying very hard to prove that they're not teenagers that found out about them through unfunny memes from reddit/tumblr. they just want to feel apart of something in their youth.

dg threads are full of anti-fans trying very hard to prove that they're not teenagers that found out about them through unfunny memes from reddit/tumblr. they just want to feel apart of something in their youth.
>>61004699
where is that happening in this thread butthurt newfag?
>>61004721
literally who says anti-fan that isn't a kpopfag
remember hipster bhudda
>>61004735
would you prefer the term hater?
>>61004735
kpop fags dont say anything they just image dump for 13 hrs a day
>>61004729
you know im just saying this stuff because teenage dg fans like you always reply
>>61004761
im being le troled XD
>>61004740
honestly, yes
>>61004740
i mean why not? sounds juvenile either way might as well go all out
>>61004777
k fine u fuckin hatin ass beeeeeeeeitch lmao fuckin bitch
On second thought, I think it might have been Tyler the Creator who showed Death Grips to Kanye. the penis album is juvenile enough for him to WANT to show Kanye.
Then after the critical acclaim Yeezus got, Jay Z wanted at least 1 family member to get critical acclaim (MCHG was received not so well ) so he asked Kanye to inspire Beyonce And he showed them Death Grips. In return they got money and were given a good word across the music industry
>>61004809
stupid post
>>61003557
Zach Hills brother is a 4channer so he probably had something to do with it
>>61004809
this is the dumbest thing I have ever read in my entire life.
>how exactly did death grips get known?
I think a better question would be how exactly did death grips get got, ifyaknowwhatimean senpai
seriously how does anyone get know. like travis scott how does that guy get discovered at least DG had a tape or two and blew up
Viral marketing. I remember some of Zach Hill's pre-DG stuff like Face Tat being spammed here when it first came out

>>61006006
I don't remeber the tumblr
but travis got in touch with some middle man who knew mike dean and kanye
and became travis manager than after awhile travis told the guy to fuck off.
https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/2xoodp/if_this_is_true_travi_scott_is_an_asshole/
ik it's reddit but they the gist of it
travis is scumbag who makes good music
>>61004504
Imagine if this never got published people who mention death grips nowadays wouldn't get yelled at and band wagoners wouldn't spam all over /mu/.
What a beautiful place.
>>61004444
you just described people who hate death grips

How did time magazine get well known though? Was it just viral marketing?
>>61004066
his rap reviews sparked interest which led to more views which led him to gain more popularity on /mu/ and youtube
also filthy frank gave him some popularity too a little bit in the past year or two
>>61004175
yes crazy and new please name something that sounds like deathgrips
>inb4 shit like dalek, BLACKIE, or even RTJ
>>61004442
there were at least 20 threads for robert pattinson being on GP last record store day when the vinyl of GP came out
no need to hide your newfriendship, anon
>>61003557
>Zach Hill already had some fans because of his work with Hella + his own solo work
>MC Ride also had a little bit of fans because of Fyre, the band he was in before
>The band puts out a sample EP of songs a month before Exmilitary comes out, and plays live shows which gives them more fans
>Exmilitary comes out, and about two weeks later, it had gotten enough attention that Fantano reviewed it, and gave it an 8/10, which certainly helped them out
>Eventually in early 2012 (I think?) they sign to Epic Records, which obviously is fucking huge
>Drops the Money Store, and Fantano gives it a 10/10, a review he never gave before on his channel
>Then while working on NLDW (after they had canceled their tour), they viral through 4chan and use ARGs to promote the upcoming album
>Says fuck you to Epic Records for wanting to release the album in 2013 instead of October 2012, leaks their own album and uses Zach's penis as the cover. They also leak emails from the label regarding the situation, and then get dropped.
>Before Government Plates drop, they sign to Harvest and make their own label, Third Worlds
>Once again, they put out GP out of nowhere, causing more chaos
>Then in June 2014 they release Niggas on the Moon, which included all those fucking samples from Bjork
>Shortly after, they announce their "breakup" and white people + Tyler the creator lose their shit
>Still working on Jenny Death, they tease the fuck out of their fans, creating a bunch of hype.
