Guest Giles Walker Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Also have Death Grips been talked about in here? I have been listening to that album again recently and i think there is definitely something there. Initially i almost palmed them off as a cynical hipster take on some sort of mildly subversive (although i wasn't really able to tell exactly what they were trying to subvert) Spearhead vibe, with some rude sex references and naughty drug talk about smoking joints and whatnot. But i have been quite digging the raw, caustic energy of it in the same way i enjoy listening to some of my favourite no wave records, or other noisy post punk bits.

Guest Giles Walker Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Also they have the best use of since thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGJyQBb2WLMon this track Related side note: The guy who came to fix my window the other week, is friends with Syd Barrett's son and had jammed with him. He also sent me pics from some Residents gigs he went to. Fucking cool guy, his daughter is at uni in Aberdeen too, i would hazard a guess that she is probably pretty cool as well.

ca_gere Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Death Grips popped up in another thread I think. I did the same thing and dismissed it pretty much straight away but that album keeps popping up on my iPod and i'm getting into it a bit more.p.s. Am I the only person in the world that doesn't like Kendrick Lamar? I don't get it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I thought Section 80 was very good. It never really became a record I'd put on repeat though. However HiiPower is really great.I'll check out those death grips links later, I've been meaning to check them out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Party cos of the producers involved but even so, his rhyming is about 1000% improved from the older OF stuff, also no shitty shock value rape lyrics so automatic bonus points.

Paranoid Android Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Sometime last year I think. I read an interview with him speaking about it a few months ago I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Not heard of OFWGKTA? They are huge right now. I don't really get why though. They seem a little bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've put some effort into listening. Some genuinely great stuff floating around, but a lot of the production is atrocious. Just bad, bad beats. Frank Ocean's probably my favourite member and he croons R&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
