As someone who was first introduced to Death Grips through Bottomless Pit (specifically Hothead), this is true.
"Strangely listenable." perfectly sums up probably almost everyone's first reaction to The Money Store. It's so weird and out there and going in ten different directions at once, and yet in pretty much every track there's something immediately catchy that you can focus on. Those catchy bits carry you through your first couple of listen-throughs, and after that the bits that you couldn't handle before start making sense. And because the production is so dense, there's lots and lots for you to discover, making The Money Store a very rewarding album to listen to over and over again. Btw Jon the beat in Lost Boys is so good, please give it a listen with a good audio setup with volume turned a bit too loud and you'll get it for sure. The beat drop in the beginning of Lost Boys is one of the definite highlights from the album, I always rewind it a couple of times.

@Colby S Perhaps, but his last two albums have been wildly successful. Probably more so than any of Clipping's projects. Don't get me wrong, I love all three of them, but I think Peggy's meteoric rise, and also staying power with two successful albums under his belt is enough to merit a place. Clipping and Death Grips would have both deserved their places after their first two albums as well.
Damn man this has been quite a journey, hasn't it. Crazy how much your knowledge and appreciation of the genre has expanded since the beginning of Rock Reacts and whatnot. Keep doing what you're doing JD!

Death Grips season??? Pls But to add something substantial, DG is one of the best and most interesting groups of the decade. Def not for everyone and some of their releases are more obtuse than others, but they always have a sens of purpose and musicality even when they are breaking genres and your brain. Money Store is like being pushed into your computer and through the internet while hackers and viruses chase you and you are sporadically electrocuted. Very causal listen

The first time I've ever listened to Death Grips it was too much for me. I wasn't ready and I just assumed that it wasn't for me, even if I appreciated the experimentation and the creativity behind their music. It took me almost two years to enjoy their music and understand what they were trying to do. Now they are one of my favourite bands ever (and The Money Store is one of my favourite albums of all time). I saw them live recently and it was one of the weirdest and craziest experiences of my entire life. Glad to see you're finally reacting to them but give it a bit more time. They are amazing and every one of their projects needs a few listens before it really clicks (unless you're a fan and are used to their sound)

give Exmilitary by Death Grips a listen. It's closer to traditional hip hop but still very unique and very industrial
“I didn’t think it was going to be THIS difficult to listen to” ok my guy listen to NOTM
The Money Store is unique in the Death Grips catalogue because it's the only album of theirs I would characterize as a dance album. Once you're familiar with all of the surprises 2 or 3 listens in, it becomes quite a fun album to dance to. I'm interested to see what you think of their more punk/electro doom/heavy metal type albums.
Watching people listen to death Grips is like listening for the first again
The scream on system blower is serena williams serving a tennis ball, they have also sampled printers and shit.
Just give it some time. It takes a couple re-listens to really enjoy the album at it’s fullest. On a first go, certain tracks may seem better than others, but eventually you’ll come to enjoy them all on the same level. As a DJ who spins predominantly soul, jazz, boogie, funk, house, etc., this album remains a personal favorite. Quite possibly my favorite album to come out in the last 20 years.
Unbelievable album. So addictive. When you listen to it and say "what the f**k" while smiling. Deaths grips are different class.
When i put this album on i always finish it the whole way through. I feel like every song enhances the other and once you have listened to it a lot it feels like a very cohesive album

Think you’ll love Exmilitary too. Keep up the good work JD

They do use samples actually, they're pretty outlandish with them as well. System Blower takes a tennis match of all things and distorts the shit out of it. The "IT'S DEATH" part at the intro for The Cage iirc is actually from, "Death Grips (Next Grips), one of their earlier songs from their self titled EP. And that's only two of several sample examples from this album alone. You've probably been tipped off to this guy before but if you haven't, check out Bandstand's videos on this group in your free time. They've got videos on several artists and it's kinda crazy where and how some people get their samples and how it translates to their songs.
Love all the reactions keep it goin man
I will watch every single ad in its entirety for the death grips videos, so glad you’re checking out full albums. Ideally you’d go through the discography in chronological order but some standouts I think you’ll like are Jenny death, no lovedeep web and year of the snitch

I suggest listening to Exmilitary next, imo their most accessible album (technically a mixtape). Also, listen to Black Up by Shabazz Palaces, it's also pretty experimental hip-hop, as I like to call it, extraterrestrial hip-hop. Definitely one of my albums of the decade.
There are few tracks in my life that have blown my mind: Gimme Chocolate/Baby Metal, Date with the night/Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Paranoid Android/Radiohead, and Get Got/Death Grips. There are others of course. It sort of captures you and forces your brain to adapt in some way. Music ultimately is an experience. Thank goodness it exists :D

As you speculated their liveshow is absolutely insane. I saw Jpegmafia, Denzel Curry, Brockhampton, Sheck Wes, Skepta, Joey Purp, Sophie and Death Grips at Roskilde festival in Denmark this summer. While they were all great shows (especially Brockhampton) none of the crowds came close to the level of insane energy as the Death grips concert did. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience one of the most intense concerts of their life. (as long as you're ready to get completely beaten up in the crowd) #unsubscribed

This album is fucking mental, it caught me a week after my first listen, it's so intricately constructed and experimental in style I can listen to tracks for the 100th time and find something new, the layering in Hacker is truly incredible. I recommend checking out Exmilitary, No Love Deep Web, The Powers that B, Bottomless Pit - The Money Store is my favourite.
JD, you're going to absolutely love their album bottomless pit
If you're ever planning to listen to the rest of the albums (off cam or on) you should listen to them in chronological order. That's the best experience after being introduced by either TMS or Exmilitary.
The lyricism of Death Grips is unparalleled in how cryptic and unsavoury it is. Its a very rewarding experience to read into and understand this amazingly dark world MC Ride and gang created. If you enjoyed The Money Store, Bottomless Pit is very similar, however their whole discography is near flawless and if this becomes a Death Grips season my 2019 will be made
Jon if you follow death grips season with injury reserve you will have reacted too all my favourite rappers and groups in a single year love the content keep it up
1:56 YOU’RE WRONG!!!
i couldn't contain my joy when i saw you'd uploaded this. sick reaction, Jon - you're the best. your analogies throughout were both hilarious and insightful. if you react to more of their discography (i recommend The Powers That B), i think reading along with the lyrics would actually be a good shout (if it's humanly possible on a first listen). Ride is a brilliant lyricist when you get a chance to take it all in.
Saw them live in a Nottingham club earlier this year, it was I N S A N E . The atmosphere, the volume, the group themselves... It was an hour of straight madness, MC Ride performs shirtless and without even a break for water, it's just constant noise and it's amazing. I had a good few bruises afterwards tho. See them live if you can!

9:24 YO THE DFA SHOUTOUT! Fuck yeah man Death Grips is one of the best bands of the 2010s. As strange and chaotic as their music sounds, once you break it down you can really see their influences. They choose both really familiar and obscure samples, and flip / arrange them so brilliantly you don't even realize you're hearing it even though they're so blatant. The last track Hacker samples M83's Midnight City as well as the Blue Devils Ditty drum line.Really hope you peep into the rest of their discography. It's worth it. Personally I think Ex-Military is their weakest, but even that album is a near classic.

Hell yeah dude I'm glad you enjoyed it. You should go see them live.. it's even more intense than listening to their albums on max volume if you can believe that lol I legitimately almost had an anxiety attack when the show started.. the whole crowd instantly became a mosh pit and zach hill's live drumming makes all their music way crazier lol it was fucking amazing
I'm headed to the money store. Y'all need anything?
I've been digesting this album all weekend. It's my first Death Grips. "Assaulted" is the right word.
These guys are so creative and experimental, you should definitely do some other albums by them.
Every time I watch a money store reaction video always makes me chuckle when they do the preemptive head bob on fuck that only to realize it's the most wonky song on the album
Hacker is still to this day, my favorite song by DG, though I'll always have a soft spot for No Love. Third favorite? Most of the others I'd have to say, it's hard to pick single favorites.
Even on the first listen, Hustle Bones is too powerful to not enjoy.
Punk weight is underrated in my opinion
