Dismissed it alot when a few people including artists and reviewers made the connection, but then listened to yeezus and then no love deep web and went :damn:


daft punk made the more 'experimental' beats and they have definitely met MC Ride and Zach Hill from death grips

:whoa:


this is not to say this is a good thing (even though death grips is my favourite hip hop group atm) cos Kanye basically failed with this Yeezus album minus like 2-3 songs (which were the soul sample/southern driven songs)

The Death Grips/Yeezus comparisons are tired.

That being said, Yeezus is more catchy than anything Death Grips related.

True, but it hasn't been explored on this board to my knowledge, and there's only like 3 people on here that fukk with death grips like that so I just wanted to see what the coli bredrins would think about it.


And to the catchy thing, yeah probs but taking influence/borrowing doesn't equate to direct copies

I'd say tracks like i've seen footage and lord of the game are more catchy than some songs on Yeezus






but then again, I might be biased because I like these songs

Love how every one knows who death grips is and also fan all of a sudden. The reason no one talked about them last week is because they mostly suck.

:rudy:

if you're talking to me, quote me nikka.

And if you go to the alt music section on this forum I think you'll find the death grips thread I made which is nearly a year old

If Kanye borrowed from them, he shouldn't have, because "Yeezus" is sounding like bag full garbage out here...

Just because "it's different" it doesn't mean that's good...

Ask Adam and Eve...

Nah not really at you. Just seeing it all over. If you knew who death grips last week you know music. :salute:

But you cant tell me 99% of the people dropping their name knew who they were 5 days ago.

:blessed: to some Death Grips love round here.

I like Yeezus and I like Death Grips and can admire them individually for their work without resorting to "buhh buuhh buuhh Death Grips did it first". Anyway here are two of my fave tracks (I've Seen Footage was already posted)

Yeah, true...but I don't really mind that because I think death grips's stuff is amazing :yeshrug: and I always believe the influence of someone that the general populace like should get its shine (that's not to say this thread is fact, but i'm pretty sure it is)
