How nasty can you make hip hop? How filthy can you make a synth? How hard can you chop it? How deeply can you warp layers of menacing shouting? How frantic and relentless and spastic can you make a song? Death Grips are trying to find out, banging together the already bangedup likes of Spank Rock, Die Antwort and El-P and seeing what gets bloodied first.
It's an achievement in one sense: this is about as far as you can take things before it becomes honest to god noise rock: this still has its own fucked up kind of groove to it: you'll bob your head until you have a headache. The over/under on that headache's about 2.5 songs though, and this motherfucker's 13 songs long, a geek show of relentless barely-rapping-shouting, challenging you to listen as long as you can.
I listened to the whole thing. Otherwise it doesn't make the blog. But the over / under on complete listens of this I ever bother with is about 1.5 3/5
