go, ctown, go!

Lmao back then them close ups were vicious

"I didn't like the yelling." *yells for 10 minutes* Death Grips mission: accomplished.

I think everyone getting in a fight over this album is exactly what Death Grips would want haha

"I don't know how he would sound if he was not yelling" did he not listen to culture shock?

TRIPLE SIX FIVE FORKED TONGUE

Why is it that when the audience agrees with Myke, he's super intelligent and well rounded because he likes a lot of other genres, but when they disagree he's not even a real hip hop fan and doesn't know what he's talking about

I agree with C-Town completely.

The beautiful irony of "the thing that took me out of this album was the yelling" considering the review turned into yelling by the end. Gotta love you, DEHH.

Myke's teeth whiteness is on a new level.

"if tyler was serious, he sould be death grips". FUCKING TRUE AS FUCK!!!"

Myke C-Town was the only dude who did his homework! Everybody else said the same old-ass thing. "I kinda like Guillotine... I kinda like that Mexican Girl song... But overall I can't vibe to it." Myke came in with the references to past groundbreaking artists, the members, the style, etc.

People calling everyone but myke “plebs” for not liking death grips are silly. Not everyone is gonna like death grip’s sound. That’s pretty obvious by listening. I like them btw

IS IT HIP HOP IS IT POP IS IT ROCK IS IT SOUL?!!! It's music! Everything doesn't need to be limited in to these conventional boxes! I don't generally listen to death grips but I respect their concept.

takyon bumps hard imo

For me Exmilitary and Death Grips is a moment in history that will forever change the genre of hip hop and have a similar effect that Straight Outta Compton did. Complete and utter masterpiece.

The guy defending Death Grips gets it! This album isn't just pushing the boundaries of hip-hop but the boundaries of punk music, metal music, electronic music and actually the boundaries of music all together. Fucking incredible. Bravest band of this generation

Takyon BUMPS SOOOOOOO HARD in the whip!

They're talking about Ride screaming and I can barely make out what they're saying in the review lmao. They've come a long way.

This review is 10 years old….. Where did the time go

I remember watching this 10 years ago. I'm so glad that y'all recorded this moment in history.

you guys should have talked about the lyrics not "omg guy yelling this isint hip hop" the whole time

These guys yelling about how Death Grips isn't hip hop is more abrasive to me than any of their tracks.

Of course Mike is the only one that gets it haha. But honestly aside from Mike its views like this that I feel kinda hold hip-hop back. If its not a boom bap beat its not real hip-hop, Ive grown so sick of the "real hip-hop" conversation. We need artists to push the envelope and come up with new sounds and ideas or its just lateral movement.

Death Grips totally bumps in the whip. It thrashes

Death Grips is hugely metal/industrial inspired. If ya'll want to understand that listen to those genres.

'I dont know how he would sound if he wasn't yelling' he wasn't yelling on culture shock

They're hip hop, but not just hip hop. They're also industrial, punk, metal and electronic music. Almost to the point where there rooted in rock and electronic music. The same way old school hip hop was rooted in disco. It's not that diffrent. Mixing hip hop and rock isn't new. It's been a thing since the golden age of hip hop. Just look at Run DMC and Beastie Boys Just the way they do it is extremely out there. They're original. Granted Blackie, Rage against the Machine, Techno Animal done it before. DG truly stand out as something worth being behind. They're hip hop., but not just hip hop. They still sample, they still use beats, granted he's yelling but MC Ride is rapping in his raspy punk vocal. Death Grips music is extremely aggressive. There music is a satire on excess. They're a band manifested from the darkness of the internet. Yet there not horrorcore/goth rap bc there music is so much more extreme and boundry pushing. They make all horrorcore groups look like a babies cartoon. Death Grips will appeal to music fans bc they're experimentation and production. They're first time hip hop and rock has felt scary in a while. It's not campy it's straight up. It doesn't care about boundries or appealing to anyone. This ain't some Tyler the Creator, Twenty One Pilots poser faggot shit. We need groups like Death Grips. You can either whine about how "it's not real music" or embrase it for what it is. They're truly important to music.

c-town is definitely the wisest in dead end hip hop

I like how Mike is just patiently waiting for his turn to speak .

You most likely will not enjoy death grips if you go into them expecting a hip-hop experience. They are experimental, and the closest genres you can relate them to are either punk or hip-hop so I don't think it's fair to say it isn't hip-hop. It's not traditional, though.

Takyon's beat bumps in the whip.

It's always been crazy to me how a lot of people lock themselves into genres. You have to get into/be into other shit to really appreciate bands like DG. Exmilitary was groundbreaking piece of work.

Why yall act like DMX doesnt yell 24/7 DMXs talking voice is a damn yell

FIFO always getting bodied lmfao. love

I wish they reviewed the mixtape more than the idea of true hip hop.

Funny how the guy who listen to all sorts of music is the most well spoken..

I love the random drug deal happening in the background

"ITS HIP HOP" "NO IT AINT" "I NEVER SAID IT WASNT" "ITS NOT HIP HOP" "THEYRE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE" "NONOONNOONNONO WAIT WAIT I NEVER SAID THAT" "ITS HIP HOP" "NO"

What are these camera angles.

ps, I love your reviews and how involved you guys are as a whole, it's awesome

It was great watching you guys hash out this album and even greater that you guys pointed me to Shabazz Palaces and yes I love them both to your point C :)

Damn, I remember watching these DEHH videos back in 2012. Miss that era

Congrats! That's awesome.

Really great debate on Death Grips role in hip-hop, really enjoyed it. Idk if you guys have a classic week but Id be really into hearing your thoughts on Dr. Octagon(Kool Keith)

I enjoyed the discussion, guys. I like the different views you bring to the table and nice to hear a buddy conversation surrounding this.

I love when you guys review stuff I haven't heard about before. I always check it out after. On the other hand, I would love to hear your opinions on Tha Carter IV.

Know these is an old vid but loved the debate, and had to throw my two cents out there. I don't expect everyone to fk with death grips, but as an old head i definitely do, and fully see them as hip hop, just like they do. He's bellowing more than just screaming, and everybody has different ideas of what's a good voice, just like everybody has different things they love about hip hop. In terms of genres of music it's still fairly young, and in that it is also a brilliant reflection of modern society, in topical commentary, and with using modern methods of making music, cannibalizing other forms of music and entertainment, sampling from anything and everything, and has been constantly changing since day one when it was some sorta offshoot of disco and dub reggae. At one time artists making hip hop were put off when they heard albums that weren't records cut together but were drum machines and keyboards, and they laughed when records were simply utilized to making scratching noises instead of that just being part of the art of blending two records together. At one time signing in hip hop was because they had a pfunk sample, and was otherwise as odd as biz markie signing his heart ache out, and wasn't really until warren g and nate dogg that you had double threats of the likes of Ceelo who had flow and could actually sing their own hooks or a whole dang song with soul, and certainly weren't bringing in some professional r&b or pop star singer to do the hooks. You may not like Ride's voice or delivery, but he's about that energy and attack, just like ra ra like a dungeon dragon Busta Rhymes hollering "woo-hah!! Got you all in check", or redman ready to rock rough rhymes renegade rapper rip when it's rhyme time, when he had his first album What? Thee Album, he follows a skit about a psychiatrist talking about how he murdered van halen, and he hollers "let's get ready to rumble" and comes with the hype assault attack that is Time for Some Akshun, and of course can't forget the crazy experimentation of wu tang and the lyrical assault machine that was old dirty hollering at ear drums to know yo netter get outta here when you here the zoo thrown out in the air like the threat of crackling lightning about strike, coming from him outta his, Brooklyn Zoo, or with rza jumping into the track to yell out the best advice, to protect ya neck, while sticky fingers and the mad faced onyx crew just wanted to scream for the b-boys to Slam, but but wait it gets worse, for as grimey as their voices were it was nothing compared to the D.O.C. when he mad helta skelta after the accident that changed his voice box to the strained tortured instrument that gave me the dusted paranoid insanity of Secret Plan, or laying out his anger about fall out from nwa eazy, to dre and snoop, on return of livin dead or really most of the album, because of course he came from that like ice cube when he grabbed the world's ear hollering that they were coming straight outta compton, because before they popularized gangster rap, it was LL Cool J at the fore front of coming hard, yelling his warning that Momma Said Knock You Out, huh! if you try to call it a comeback, cause he's been knocking em out, huh!, before mama said, huh! Breakdown! Shadow boxing to the Radio, and that ahhhhhh he does at beginning of Im Bad, to announce that its definitely on, because his first big hit Radio was the anger and lack of care that later found a home in gangster rap and popularized that style of rapping like a punch to the microphone that Cube later ran with, but for LL was probably the next logical step after run dmc came hard like Addidas were combat boots coming in, yeah that's right, from Ride, to Run Dmc yelling "My Addidas", and of course cant forget their friends beastie boys screaming with high pitched nasal raps, and public enemy with the angry professor and teacher chuck d while flavo flav just was constantly freaking out to earn a rank above any simple hype man. Oh and RIP DMX. But hey that's just my 2 cents, and love what death grips is doing with hip hop, and love what shabazz palaces is doing, just like i loved digable planets or tribe called quest or sir mix a lot or eric b and rakim, or duggie fresh and the fat boys (when it was common to have beat boxing) or like my love for whodinni, or epmd gots to chill, so with that im out of business

DG makes punk music in my opinion, not hip-hop. they appeal to the same part of my brain that likes to listen to The Locust.

Love this review because the intensity of thew review itself while they are all yelling over each other mimics the intensity of the album haha.

This didn't make the video, but I mentioned that if you did like Death Grips or thought it was cool, but a little too much, check out the album by Techno Animal called Brotherhood of the Bomb. In my opinion it was one of the first real albums that could be called "Industrial Hip Hop" and they did it really well. The main guy worked with Godflesh, I believe. There's an amazing song on there with El-P and Vast Aire. Similar to Dalek, but a little harder.

DEHH should read mc ride's lyrics and understand what yall are listening to, your perception would have been elevated & enlightened brah - death grips ain't from this time, they're creating a place in time and above the mainstream bullshiz you hear today. death grips is crazy cryptic. 'culture shock' was one of the best tracks on exmilitary imo.

You, sir, just made my day!

Seven years later, and Exmilitary is one of the tamer Grips albums. Even by NLDW, they'd managed to push things to the limit. Also The Powers That B did the same in some schizophrenic fashion, going from their most experimental stuff ever on NOTM to punk and math rock territory on Jenny Death. Cue to YOTS which is like a cross-section of most of their previous work with some added surprises like The Fear which adds bebop jazz bass and piano. They're all over the place to even put in a genre.

This review sounds exactly like Ex. Yelling.

Oh yeah, and keep doing what you do, Myke. Good call on so much of what you said and how you backed it up.

Nostalgic feels watching this lol

I've never heard these guys more passionate

I always put so the volume up really high when I'm watching you on full screen and I'm really high so I can shout back at you!!! :D

Huh really enjoy these, got yourselves a subscriber!

Props, Checking Shabazz palaces. Hella crazy they're on Sub Pop. Thanks Gents!

Why the camera man in kens ear lmfao these close ups are crazy

One of my favorite reviews by you guys so far, personally I like the album. It is not an easy album to get into though

great review! what's the name of the outro track though?

sick review. I like the debate. Nice job.

HOW HAVE I JUST FOUND THIS CHANNEL OH MY GOD ITS BRILLIANT

The sample used in Spread Eagle Across the Block is amazing as well.

Myke c town understood this shit before it was history

I really like this dude w. Dreads, he seems to have a similar taste in music as me.. does he have his own channel?? He's talking about industrial and anticon

@drediablo I'd love to see them live. Do they play with live instruments or what?

Lol this was really funny! I'm subscribing right now. Although, I am really getting into Death Grips. Focus on the lyrics next time though. The yelling has a purpose

i think the whole beauty of the album is to come from somewhere that is so alien but also familiar in structure & form alone that it makes you wonder wtf you just heard. like district 9 meets busdriver or something. the live death grips stuff with zach hill on drums..THAT is death grips to me..i think it was a progression that took shape over time for sure. and its not for everbody. thx for the review, really enjoyed hearing your take on it.

I had pretty much the same reaction after listening to Exmilitary. I was wondering what the hell I was listening to but after a few more times listening to the album, I began to look at more of their music and soon I became a fan of their music.

Damn..Myke is so big on all that backpack stuff

If you come from the same pack of people who enjoy metal or indie rock and read music blogs than you'll enjoy Death Grips

Awww shit...you from Sacramento? I lived there for about 10 years. Love that place.

@JunkyardGod89 I mentioned the Zach Hill involvement. But still not sure about the details of his involvement.

Can someone tell me what band Myke is talking about around 10:00? I just cannot find any band that sounds like what he said, please, if you know what band it is, let me know!!!

curious what ya'll think about B L A C K I E

The fact you guys sat round and had the conversation you did is EXACTLY why hip hop needs to fragment off into places like Death Grips. If you don't want it to stagnate then somebody needs to kick shit around a bit. I mean, you love hip hop but don't all get this. I don't get a lot of hip hop but I love this. First step forward and I'm with them.

definitely. listening to beware is a trip for me, if I heard that song while high my psyche would probably be changed for ever

@gskillzzmtl I did consider it. I will continue to take a look at doing that one. It's a little tougher to fit in but we'll see. Not totally ruled out.

i love this review theyre so passionate

the track 'culture shock' has no yelling. really really enjoying this album. gotta push those edges.

Haha I love DEHH s death grips reviews

I recently started listening to hip hop in the last year or so after listening to a lot of metal so this album really works for me.

@Craiggardd Exactly! I'm from the same boat so screaming vocals don't catch me off guard. I think it was refreshing to have someone actually rap that way, though. Imagine Jamey Hatebreed rapping. I think what Death Grips did was brilliant. I wish more groups would put out genre defying music like this. It's actually good for the genre and keeps it on its toes.

Legendary DEHH review

Most intense Dehh video

once again myke swooping in with the good opinion

@mykectown Definitely! nice to hear that u appreciated it, good lookin out Myke =D

@mykectown yeah hes a favorite of mine although i didnt really dig his omar collaboration, to be honest i wrote that comment before you brought him up but youre totally right about their music, i think the best way to describe it is like industrial hip-hop or something in that ballpark. great review as always by the dead end hip hop crew

thank you for a chuckle

Death Grips is the future that Dälek saw almost 20 years ago. If you like Death Grips you need to know Dälek. He made this subgenre of hip hop long ago. Its nice to see hip hop artists like this becoming more mainstream.

Solid review.

Myke speaking the truth! Death grips has also recently been posting new songs on their web page. Some more crazy songs to check out

Damn! Where'd you get a shirt???????

Best review ever 👌

This is a great interview, I would agree that Death Grips isn't traditional Hip Hop, but at least alliterative experimental Rap.

OMG FINALLY!! THANKYOU!
