or is saying that just another way for people to show off that their music taste is so much more "obscure" and "experimental" than people who dare enjoy mainstream artists
It's a meme

It's genuinely not similar to any Death Grips music. MAYBE I've Seen Footage or Hacker, but the connection to those tracks is still very tenuous
They sound nothing alike. Idk who started this meme (probably melon) but it's completely retarded.

fantano said he heard people talk about it
however the very beginning of this album and NLDW are the same
also the idea that kanye was working with a huge pack of producers, many of which certainly knew about death grips and could've injected the tiny bits of possible influence you CAN hear throughout
or there was zero influence at all. you decide
>>64108603
Kanye and Rubin even said they didnt listen to Death Grips during the making of Yeezus and they weren't an influence
>>64108603
i'd rather say it was influenced by them, he doesn't seem to rap as agressive as mc ride does, but it sure does have some death grips touch in it, but not to the point i would consider it a rip off.

Even if there was slight influence it was the minimal
>>64108756
It's a nonzero influence, but barely worth mentioning. He seems less inspired by "of the moment" acts on Yeezus than by movements in punk, industrial, protest music, and drill.
And that's the way Kanye has always been, really.

Source?
the start of on sight sounds a lot like the start of come up and get me
It's not influenced or ripped off from Death Grips because Yeezus is actually GOOD.
It's obviously not a rip off but i'm surprised to hear everyone here saying DG weren't an influence.
I always took it for granted that Kanye took alot from DG when he made Yeezus, if they are not considered a major influence on this album it's very new to me.
>>64108603
just an attempt to grab the attention of the coachella crowd
people always take this idea too far. They act like Kanye took DG's idea thinking, "haha! no one will ever know!"
In actual fact, those saying Yeezus was influenced by Death Grips actually mean that no, Kanye did not actively try to bite their style, but at the same time you can't say he never heard Death Grips before he made yeezus.
