There hasn't been anything more 'ahead of its time' in this decade so far than pic related, do you agree
What no?
It's a good album but it's not "ahead of its time" lmao :^/
>>63801238
Yes it is
>basic EDM with drums and a screaming black dude
>progressive
lmao
>>63801245
NLDW is better, lameshit.
>>63801287
it is but this is more 'avant-garde'
eat dick nigger
>>63801254
>>63801238
If you don't realize that it's ahead of it's time somewhat, then just stop listening to music.
>>63801238
Read a music theory book and tell me this isn't ahead of it's time nigger.
>>63801230
do you think "PROGRESS" in "MUSIC" is "LINEAR"
>not being NOTM
>>63801312
NOTM is just wankery crap
>>63801312
Both are, NOTM more so though definitely.
>>63801293
The Beatnigs released their debut in 1989. You just need to listen to more music.
>>63801317
Have a sad one bb
>>63801328
NOTM is actually the most traditional hip hop release they made. It touches upon the grounds the early DJs in hip hop did.
>>63801317
pleb
>>63801343
I read several. Absolutely unrelated to the issue at hand. As far as I know I could say Dalek are much more developed, considering they work around layas on several occasions.
>>63801375
>Absolutely unrelated to the issue at hand
This is how you can tell someone hasn't studied music theory
>>63801238
I should've added that I think NOTM is ahead though
>>63801347
>>63801347
The only thing traditional about it was the vocal samples, and even then the way they were done through a vdrum is completely unconventional.
>>63801396
not that guy, but you obviously haven't heard dalek or the beatnigs if you think death grips are something special. nothing you've said suggests you know theory either
>>63801396
>vague reply without any arguement against mine
This is how you can tell someone not hasn't studied both western and eastern music theory, but barely even comprehends the knowledge he possesses.
You're like in literally every thread. At least read a book on counterpoint. You could probably use some cool buzzwords for your shitty baits.
>>63801428
i've heard them and i still think dg are far more progressive
>>63801433
why?
>>63801433
explain how The Beatnigs who single-handedly paved a way for industrial hip hop with the exact same nihilistic lyrical philiosophy as DG are less progressive.
>>63801443
>>63801450
soundwise
>>63801470
Post something, get a response, I guess.
Exmilitary and The Money Store were pretty groundbreaking when they were released. Now that Death Grips have been around a while and grimy industrial production has been popularised by albums like Yeezus they sound stale but were actually really important in developing industrial hip hop and allowing acts like clipping to come along. Dalek and the beatnigs do exist but just never got that traction and hit the cultural nerve that Death Grips seemed to have.
>>63801483
>Dalek and the beatnigs do exist but just never got that traction and hit the cultural nerve that Death Grips seemed to have.
that's a cultural thing. We were discussing purely their musical advances. In terms of cultural impact, DG are definitely a bigger deal.
>a while board baited into liking meme rape band
Face it, if it wasn't for fantano's antics (read: shilling) when this album came out, none of you would listen to this. The fact that DG is hailed as avant-garde and experimental hip-hop is a joke. They're nothing more than a meme that /mu/ gave into
Is this thread bait?
Even Travis Scott is more original then DG you preteen fucks
>Death Grips
>ahead of their time
That's rich. Go check out The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and tell me how ahead of their time Death Grips are. Kids on this board... I swear.
NOTM
>>63801501
In terms of production and whatnot I've got to admit DG aren't THAT special, but The Money Store succeeds in turning all the rage, confusion and aggression of industrial hip hop into a cohesive album. Like an engineer who builds on the ideas of others and is finally able to release a finished product, they didn't pioneer industrial hip hop, but produced something that made it finally "click" together in a relatively polished/finished (and thus more accessible) form compared to earlier artists. I can't get more specific with music theory because I suck at that sort of thing :(
>It's a pleb thinks The Memey Store is their best album thread
NotM > GP > JD > NLDW > TMS > ExM
>>63801699
who said that fucking imbecile
>>63801317
>>63801704
OP implied it
unless he thinks other DG albums are better but TMS is somehow "more ahead of its time" which is even more insane
death grips is literally just dalek for edgy teens
>>63801683
It doesn't "click" any more, it's just poppier. That doesn't make something ahead of its time in any way
>>63801722
No it is not it ia true
>>63801782
I don't think it's ahead of its time, but opening up the genre to more people is certainly breaking new ground, even if it isn't as experimental. It's like how bands like the Sex Pistols are considered "revolutionary" because they managed to make punk popular (at least in counter-culture), which is exactly what DG are doing with industrial HH. I don't think they're really any poppier than Dälek, just different and that sound happens to be more successful.
ayo
ayeeo
ayaiyaiyaiyaiyaio
>>63801317
yikes
>>63802270
go to bed ClaudeCat
Anyone can scream into a microphone with loud noises blaring. What makes TMS so unique is that it does this while being very accessible, catchy and melodic. In that aspect, it's still ahead of it's time. No other album sounds quite like it, not even anything else from Death Grips.
>>63801230
pls teach me how do you tell if a music is ahead of its time. not joking
>>63802330
when nothing else released in same time sounds that fresh
>>63801506
are you saying they're bad?
>>63801230
When you say an album's ahead of it's time, that implies that the musical style of that album became popular much later after it's release.
It's only been 4 years since this came out and I haven't been hearing a bunch of albums that sound like it, so the answer is no.
>>63802813
Yes. To each their own tho. I just can't get pass the edginess and angsty vibe they give off. Seems kind of forced 2bh. At the end, they're okay but nothing spectacular or revolutionary as the board makes them out to be
>>63801328
It was released two years later, of course it was two years ahead
>>63801230
If that's ahead of it's time then I guess Atari Teenage Riot was in another plane of existence.
No, this was.
>>63802924
they're white and german so they don't count
>>63802927
nah, its bette
>>63802927
No, this is the definition of "of its time". Not that it won't be remembered years from now, but the issues it discusses and even the production screams mid 2010s.
I'd argue NOTM is far more progressive, but TMS had a bigger impact on the mainstream, so I'd still say yes.
The Money Store is a good example of how Death Grips has been pushing genre boundaries in their own way, which is great to witness. All /mu/ memes aside, Death Grips is gonna be a well recognized and appreciated group in 10 years. More so than now.
>>63802896
>the edginess and angsty vibe
i'm not hearing this at all
i like their catchy beats and catchy vocals desu
>>63802927
>>63801230
yea
>>63801230
I agree, but the trend it's created is certainly regrettable
>>63802924
Atari riot sucks tho death grips are the only ones that pull it off
>>63804084

>>63804342
kek
i don't know. to me it always sounded exactly like the year it was released in. i'm even kind of surprised they're still active.
(they're good though)
>>63804332
do you not know what "ahead of it's time" means or?
Niggas on the Moon will be remembered as the birth of post-hip hop where all sonic conventions of the genre were flat out abandoned
Dalek did make that 40 minute track, but it's more electronic with a rap feature
NotM's cohesion, oddball structure, sonic shifts in songs more odd than some prog changeups...it's a new ballgame
>>63806668
its just wankery, the is no 'oddball structure', there is no structure at all
>>63806736
does Trout Mask Replica have structure or no?
>>63806839
yes but they are clearly done in different ways
>>63806857
you're very right, I was just checking.
only wank freeform part of NotM is the end of the album
everything else just flips and jives around
>>63801230
I like Death Grips and all, but they aren't as revolutionary as you guys seem to think

>>63802340
I disagree, ahead of it's time is something that forsees something that would become more wide spread in the future but was pretty much rejected or underground in it's time. It's something that can only be applied to music from the past since we do not know the direction that music takes in the future yet.
>>63806908
if it was free i wouldn't mind, but it just sound forced to me
