This is better than anything Death Grips has ever done. Discuss.
nah, the flow, lyricism, tone, and vibe are all really contrived, dumb and annoying.
The first album, maybe.
>>64614660
that is the most baseless criticism i have ever heard
the death grips trio needs to be tortured. all they do is pander to reddit sensibilities, they are intrinsically inauthentic and they need to pay for the memes they have spawned

*tumblr sensibilities
and who gives a shit
Is authenticity really a necessity for music to be "good?" Even if it is, I think clipping. comes across as even more inauthentic. I like that Death Grips' whole thing is aggressive meditation on release from rational thought. It's an interesting concept that has legs sonically, artistically, and presentation-wise.

Authenticity is not an actual quality of sound. Rockism is belief that some music is intrinsically more "authentic" than other music. This type of reasoning arises from a lack of descriptive language.

Nah, they aren't even comparable. Death Grips and Clipping each have their own unique sounds. Clipping is straight up noise rap, and that's pretty much it.
Death Grips has done many different things and has consistently released high quality projects yearly since 2011.

There are six basic properties of sound:
Frequency/Pitch
Amplitude/Loudness
Spectrum/Timbre
Duration
Envelope
Location
Authenticity is not a property of sound, which is what I meant to say, rather than quality.

Death Grips have better songwriting and are fun to listen to.
Clipping lacks any truly memorable hooks.
Also, the stretch of Tonight, Get Up and Or Die on clppng contains some of the most grating and irritating songwriting I've ever heard.
I get that Tonight is supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek approach to modern popular club bangers or whatever, but they sacrificed any chance at a decent song for some paper thin critique of pop music that isn't very clever. I get the joke, it's just not funny. And fuck that shitty alarm clock sample it's terrible and I hate it.
Tonight

Death Grips is satire,
Clppng is homage,
and not an homage to Death Grips.

death grips' for theatre fags who like hamilton.
they suck dude.

this is really a good post. but i'm not sure that a musical positivism is the way to go (like the mind can just appreciate music as it really is (the quality of the sound), or if that is even a plausible or desirable criterion for good music or good taste).
i don't think you can disentangle the art from its context. if this a weak version of the 'rockism' thesis, so be it. when i listen to clipping, its seems to be an exercise of style or technique or mode, and less an expression of something 'True'. it appears intellectual to a fault, like they are acting as if (they were these guys), whereas death grips is striking, imho, in its atavism. the music is primal and ugly and wedded and spit through this tinny, unholy, mechanization. clipping seems like commentary on the surface, where death grips seems like an organic outgrowth of the world.
im not sure you can reduce those statements to a series of propositions about how the sound 'is'. but i don't think that makes them less accurate.

clipping is great. they don't really sound like death grips at all. death grips are in a league of their own, but the comparison is a bad idea from the get go.
also hamilton is amazing fuck yall and yer paper thin masculinity.
Midcity is great but clppng was horribly inconsistent
Story 2 is unironically one of the best songs of all time though
>>64619676
no i wouldn't
>>64616039
this is true
any criticism founded on the assumptions of principles, aesthetics, or other qualities presumed upon others it baseless
this is as stupid as crying about bourgeosis sensibilities, or the ideation that the poor cannot have good taste
attack by comparison, attack by a pattern without the content, attack by appeal to quality are all fine stick to those ( the new album is similar to 'a', uses 'x' too often, contrast 'y' and 'z' entirely 'w' with no 'b'. )
I honestly don't like death grips much at all, and i don't find them emotive in the slightest ( except for Zac sometimes ).
The fact that people are enthralled by what amounts to the music to the music we listened to before drawing cave art is kind of embarrassing (yelling memes and drums), but that they believe it is artistically empowered is pretty fair. Good art doesn't necessite complexity.

Stop fucking your brain up with memes; a trig should be evidence of your self-control.

So, you don't understand the difference between death grips and clipping? Why even comment in this thread?

Everyone in this thread has been trolled. It's like listening to weird al seriously.
