fr, too bad no one has heard it.

Counterpoint: my anti-anxiety meds have significantly increased the beast within and reduced praying to a minimum. That said, my old prescription Adderall was about to put me in a psychotic break, my therapist claims. I did listen to far more Death Grips when I was on it.
@@davidemelia6296 Well my original reply got wiped for... predictable reasons. I've actually replaced my lonely, stressful life with another stressful life but at least with a partner. Changing my environment such has reduced me need for higher dosage of anxiety meds. Indeed, a combination of medication and therapy and environmental changes is needed for most people. I now regularly talk with people over boardgames. It's... better. A lot better.
The thing that amazes me about this song is when you read the lyrics it’s a deeply impactful and visceral piece of literature, yet some how Ride just casually raps it out, and adds the emotion that sells the ideas behind this song as a powerful life altering philosophy and individualist approach to art. Fucking insane.
Which makes a lot of sense considering it's their very first track on their very first album release. This is basically their thesis statement for Ex-Military and eventually for their music as a group. I feel a lot of people casually listening to this track and the Manson sample will assume the "Beware" is about the "beast" as the "other" or as the evil, but I don't think the song is necessarily condemning the Manson statement. I think the song is, if not outright agreeing with it, at least aligned with it, and the "Beware" is directed at the listener not for them to be afraid of the "beast" but to be cautious that they may not want to go where the band is taking them. Hence it being the first track. It's a warning shot. "this is who we are and what we are about, proceed at your own risk"

Oh, he absolutely was, but the words themselves aren't about a lack of empathy. They're about power. I say 'em to myself from time to time to hype myself up, same as a lot of DG lyrics.
I recall a comment on an Exmilitary video that I can’t find now referring to the album cover that went something like: “He’s in pieces and put back together, but they don’t fit. Something’s missing.”
Chromatic There is literally not a single thing about this song that could possibly be described as "black metal". Not even if you're of the "Deafheaven is black metal" generation.
As a hardcore metalhead, these guys are way darker sounding than 90% of the death/black metal bands I've ever heard. And it's fantastic. So glad I decided to take a chance on them. edit: i was a teenager when i wrote this i know it's cringe you can stop informing me in the replies lmao
3:17 - 5:30 this is incredible; it's like a never-ending onslaught of vile, disturbing imagery that subjects u to the mindset of something which has completely crossed the boundary and lost its place as a human being
So whats really weird is that Death Grips recently eleased a shirt with the lyrics "To pray is to except defeat" which is strange to use the word "Except" when "Accept" makes more sense. Damn they're so cryptic
To be fair, he had life figured out. I'm sure he did better in prison with a free mind than the people outside prison physically that don't realize their mind is in a worse prison.
I thinks that's the point ya know? The song is about demolishing the idea of earthly religion and becoming your own deity. I am the beast that I warship.
Im so grateful that my brother showed me this when i was 12. By the third listen I was hooked and listened to the album outside everyday for months until the next album dropped. I felt like such a freak at that time and these tracks gave me so much comfort and made me realize theres other people that feel like I did. Thank you so much for the music Death grips.
I feel like Cudi makes honest music too he just puts his emotions on his music. But he makes bad music tho some of his albums are dookie. Like this is weird and different and honestly really weird lmao but it’s good af. It makes music sense if that makes any sense
I always come back to this song at least once a week, for that I’m glad it’s never been on any popular streaming service because I’d over play it. Ride somehow can voice what aggression I’ve bottled within myself. Everything MC Ride from “dismiss this life, worship death” in this track “to try not to dwell on myself my empty shell shedding me” in Artificial Death it’s a curiosity really how talented and misunderstood Death Grips is.
@@FG-ww8rc lmao dark souls is easy baby shit for casuals to feel good about themselves and feel like theyre hardcore. play an actual hard game for once
"I'm a very private person," says Burnett. "I have very few people that I call my friends. I'm very distrustful of human beings in general; I'm very distrustful of media. I have no interest in sharing my personal life with the world. Zero." from a spin article
First song of their first album, and its still amazing to see that many new people are still getting into death grips after their first time listening to this amalgamation
They stole that idea from the Jane's Addiction song "Ted Just Admit It", which is off of the same album that the sample in Beware is from ("Up the Beach")
I'm reading this being 23 years old and just having taken a big change in my life a few hours ago and riding this song on repeat. You speak the truth Mr Pivot.
I have no fucking clue about Hip Hop, and I just discovered this band 2 weeks ago, cuz I'm an out-of-touch old fart. All I have to say is: *Holy shit.*
Man, I used to listen to this song for fun, never thought of listening and actually understanding it. Thank you DeathGrips for beeing here and kind to me.
@@hopnod777 I don't think Exmilitary aged poorly, I take issue with the concept that dubstep didn't age well. These are two idiotic things to compare because Exmilitary is a single album and Dubstep is a subgenre of EDM. Dubstep grows and evolves on its own and is constantly becoming something new and different (100 Gecs, for example). Exmilitary will never change because it is one album.
@@MasDouc genres change. Dubstep changed. Dubstep now is not fake dubstep, nor is Burial. They just different. Same thing happens in every genre. I'm tired of this bullshit elitism that dubstep is somehow an inferior genre.
"in the time before time eyes 'bove which horns curve like psychotropic scythes and smell of torn flesh bled dry by hell swarms of pestis flies vomiting forth flames lit by an older than ancient force that slays this life with no remorse" Ride is seriously amazing at writing lyrics. The imagery here and throughout the entire song is fantastic.
It's the horns, the droning ambient synth in the background, the incredibly dark and apocalyptic lyrics, the occasional rising tones and the almost hypnotic chanting of "God is watching" that blends in with the rest of this hellish combination of noises that create a cacophony of hellish darkness and bleak evil.
This is the best song ive ever heard I love the contradiction of “God is watching” “To pray is to accept defeat” He aint tellin u shit, hes laying out the options for you to choose your own path in life I think this song is legit just “be ur own person”
"I am the beast I worship" Is such a motivational line weirdly enough It's saying "Be whatever the fuck you want to be and worship yourself for it" It's beautiful
To pray is to accept defeat ISNT contradictory to Christian beliefs. We surrender that we cannot do shit ourselves so we ask God to help us or to do it.
I don't think it's a contradiction. It's two sides of the same coin, it implies God (if he exists) is indeed watching, but he doesn't really give a toss about your prayers, praying is simply an admission that you cannot handle his challenge.
10 years later, and here I am. Older, wiser, more worn down. And I'm back here, where it all started. Listening to this song for the first time created a fork in my life - a time where, I now realize, everything changed.
I am legitimately scared of this song. Every time I hear this song I feel like somewhere out there, there is this wierd, horrifying presence. The sampling gets the point of the song immediately out of the way, which adds on to the creep factor, because of the implications of the sample, and the true meaning being truly sinister and evil. And out of nowhere, this absolutely monstrously sized wall of noise jumps out and jumpscares you. It feels like this absolutely huge, horrifying creature emerging from the earth, and it’s intentions for what it does when it has fully emerged are malicious. The lyrics are also incredibly scary, sounding like wierd, demonic scribbling, being read off of a an ancient scroll. It keeps going and going, and it’s on of the scariest songs I’ve heard in awhile.
8 years since iv heard this song and its still my favorite single song of all time. The feelings this song provokes, probably the most powerful song iv ever heard.
Quite possibly the most powerful song ever made. The Janes addiction riff combined with the Manson ramble at the beginning always creates such a fkn wall of tension

You obviously haven't heard Helter Skelter then.
Something about the line “I am the beast I worship” hits me hard
MC Ride plays Skyrim on legendary and never dies
He just runs
Eli Goddu You can literally make one hit boss kill classes. Legendary Skyrim scales the enemies health and damage into the heavens so yeah shut up
Making enemies damage sponges and 1HK you isnt good game design skyrim sucks
scapelife I’m not saying good game design. I’m saying difficulty
@@FG-ww8rc lmao dark souls is easy baby shit for casuals to feel good about themselves and feel like theyre hardcore. play an actual hard game for once
this is one of a few experimental songs i've liked straight after listening back in 2014, yet still here, good shit
listening to this in the morning while making yourself green tea with ginger is truely a new form of meditation
I think MC Ride is a Buddhist
Fliam Flopper or perhaps an atheist, for he killed god long ago
Fliam Flopper he might be a satanist
I think MC Ride IS the Buddha
While he does embody Satanic beliefes in his songs and takes dives into the Satanic mindset I believe he's closer to Gnosticism than Satanism
This song is about satanism to me, in a good way off course.
fucking Death Grips man..I wish they had more interviews MC Ride seems like an interesting guy
That's the appeal though. They're mysterious, they have you coming back for more.
"I'm a very private person," says Burnett. "I have very few people that I call my friends. I'm very distrustful of human beings in general; I'm very distrustful of media. I have no interest in sharing my personal life with the world. Zero."
from a spin article
ROhjklyuiop Yet...he creates music.
Oceanrust4 yeah, he creates music, he has already given to us more than we deserve, we shouldnt expect him to open up about his private life too
Is his music not personal?
First song of their first album, and its still amazing to see that many new people are still getting into death grips after their first time listening to this amalgamation
The implementation of the Charles Manson soundbite in the intro is GENIUS.
They stole that idea from the Jane's Addiction song "Ted Just Admit It", which is off of the same album that the sample in Beware is from ("Up the Beach")
@@The16thninja except it's completely different
@@DaUnrealGamer lol it's the exact same idea
@@The16thninja yeah nope
@@DaUnrealGamer are you stupid?
I have a tendency to listen to this song whenever I'm doing something life-changing, which -if you're in your early 20's- tends to happen a lot.
I listen to this song when my life is falling apart, which also tends to happen a lot
Mid 20's
I'm reading this being 23 years old and just having taken a big change in my life a few hours ago and riding this song on repeat. You speak the truth Mr Pivot.
Same here, just turned 20 as well. When you're in your 20s life just slowly gets worse
I have no fucking clue about Hip Hop, and I just discovered this band 2 weeks ago, cuz I'm an out-of-touch old fart. All I have to say is:
*Holy shit.*
how old are you?
35 :D
+InnerPartisian You're not old, I'm 32 and I don't wanna feel older then I am now.
2 of the 3 members of dg are older than you
There really isn't any other group out there like this one
Man, I used to listen to this song for fun, never thought of listening and actually understanding it. Thank you DeathGrips for beeing here and kind to me.
10 years and still as good as the day it was released
shms
How do you enjoy conventional rap after Death Grips?
$uicideboy$, that's how
+ロックマン Much more.
+ロックマン you listen to Bones
You probably don't even know what your username means in that language.
+ロックマン You don't.
"to pray is to accept defeat" drops incredibly hard, and i love it
This aged a lot better than dubstep
Not really
@@daybrink1267 if you think dubstep aged better than one of the best experimental hip hop albums ever I got news for you dawg
@@hopnod777 I don't think Exmilitary aged poorly, I take issue with the concept that dubstep didn't age well. These are two idiotic things to compare because Exmilitary is a single album and Dubstep is a subgenre of EDM. Dubstep grows and evolves on its own and is constantly becoming something new and different (100 Gecs, for example). Exmilitary will never change because it is one album.
Fake dubstep maybe, I'm still bumpin that Burial LP to this day
@@MasDouc genres change. Dubstep changed. Dubstep now is not fake dubstep, nor is Burial. They just different. Same thing happens in every genre.
I'm tired of this bullshit elitism that dubstep is somehow an inferior genre.
Listening to H E R O I N and Smoking D E A T H G R I P S

I'm not sure you can smoke heroin or bands

"in the time before time eyes
'bove which horns curve like psychotropic scythes
and smell of torn flesh bled dry
by hell swarms of pestis flies
vomiting forth flames lit by
an older than ancient force
that slays this life with no remorse"
Ride is seriously amazing at writing lyrics. The imagery here and throughout the entire song is fantastic.
Happy bday exmilitary
"When violence is the answer, beware of the question"
I wonder if Stefan, Zach, and Andy knew what they were doing when they made this album. This is music that'll be remembered for centuries.
Fuck. There's something about this song I can't explain. It's so ominous. Almost scary. I love it.
I think its the ambiant horn that desends in the background
It's the horns, the droning ambient synth in the background, the incredibly dark and apocalyptic lyrics, the occasional rising tones and the almost hypnotic chanting of "God is watching" that blends in with the rest of this hellish combination of noises that create a cacophony of hellish darkness and bleak evil.
@@leonthethird7494 the horns and (BEWARE, GOD IS WATCHING) shit is sampled from the song: Dicky Burton - God Is Watching You
@@thekeyandthegate4093 check out the original song they got the music from: Up The Beach by Jane's Addiction, it's an epic song!
Can't believe it's been 10 years since this came out, and to this day i feel blessed to have found this band.
This is the best song ive ever heard
I love the contradiction of
“God is watching”
“To pray is to accept defeat”
He aint tellin u shit, hes laying out the options for you to choose your own path in life
I think this song is legit just “be ur own person”
"I am the beast I worship" Is such a motivational line weirdly enough
It's saying "Be whatever the fuck you want to be and worship yourself for it"
It's beautiful
To pray is to accept defeat ISNT contradictory to Christian beliefs. We surrender that we cannot do shit ourselves so we ask God to help us or to do it.
I don't think it's a contradiction. It's two sides of the same coin, it implies God (if he exists) is indeed watching, but he doesn't really give a toss about your prayers, praying is simply an admission that you cannot handle his challenge.
Jane's Addiction - Up The Beach
the bassline
Yeah, and maybe like a little snippet of guitar in there too. Song kicks ass though.
Gets better with every listen, goddamn
10 years later, and here I am. Older, wiser, more worn down. And I'm back here, where it all started. Listening to this song for the first time created a fork in my life - a time where, I now realize, everything changed.
For the better I presume?
This is the work of our generations most prolific warrior-poet. Absolute masterpiece.
When I’m in a bad place I come here to be in an even worse place.
Happy 10 years of this amazing mixtape
I am legitimately scared of this song. Every time I hear this song I feel like somewhere out there, there is this wierd, horrifying presence. The sampling gets the point of the song immediately out of the way, which adds on to the creep factor, because of the implications of the sample, and the true meaning being truly sinister and evil. And out of nowhere, this absolutely monstrously sized wall of noise jumps out and jumpscares you. It feels like this absolutely huge, horrifying creature emerging from the earth, and it’s intentions for what it does when it has fully emerged are malicious. The lyrics are also incredibly scary, sounding like wierd, demonic scribbling, being read off of a an ancient scroll. It keeps going and going, and it’s on of the scariest songs I’ve heard in awhile.
Here is my prospective. You are the one that is dangerous and powerful
this is a wendy's
That is the point.
@@confusedaxolotl7833 i get that. Guess that means it succeeds.
@@confusedaxolotl7833 bro is making a point and you just agree with him in a arrogant way
0:49 and this is the moment I fell in love with this band
8 years since iv heard this song and its still my favorite single song of all time. The feelings this song provokes, probably the most powerful song iv ever heard.
this is one of the best songs ive ever heard and this is not a joke
Quite possibly the most powerful song ever made. The Janes addiction riff combined with the Manson ramble at the beginning always creates such a fkn wall of tension
Political compass
Damn straight

I'm personally the tip of his nose.
@@LilRotte3 i'm the p in death grips

Your crush: I love rapping to my favourite songs!
You, trying to impress her: *recites the entire Charles Manson monologue*
this is one HELL of a opening track on a mixtape that would make this group known to the public, god damn!!!!!
When I listen to this it brings back all of the traumatizing things that happened in my life
And I fucking love it
I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fists and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the beast I worship
And I know soon come my time
For in mine void a pale horse burns
But I fear not the time I'm taken
Past the point of no return
Wage war like no tomorrow
'Cause no hell there won't be one
For all who deny the struggle
The triumphant overcome
Trips to where, few have been
Out of thin air, upon high winds
Rites begin when the sun descends
Have felt what few will ever know
Have seen the truth beneath the glow,
Of the ebb and flow, where roots of all mysteries grow
I am below, so far below
The bottom line
Transmitting live, transmissions rise
From the depths out of controlled by
Suspended glance of an unblinking eyes
Imminent gaze cast 'pon the path that winds
'Pon the path I find, and claim as mine
To ride the waves, of unrest
Made to make me shine as a testament
To why the ways of the blind will never get
Shit but shanked by my disrespect
Dismiss this life, worship death
Cold blood night of serpent's breath
Exhaled like spells from the endlessness
In the bottomless wells of emptiness
Channeled to invoke what we represent
Secret order
Elitist horde of
Creeping fire
Seizing power
Riders of the lupus hour
Eye on palm
Time is gone
Moonlight drawn
Fly til dawn
Sacrifice to rise beyond
Deep inside the violent calm
Of the coming storm
In blood sworn
To glorify and for life adorn
With all that dies to become unborn
I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fists and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the beast I worship
I am the beast I worship
In the time before time eyes 'bove which horns
Curve like psychotropic scythes
And smell of torn flesh bled dry
By hell swarms of pests flies
Vomiting forth flames lit by
An older than ancient force
That slays this life with no remorse
The spiral storm
Of flames inside
The torch I raise
The force I ride
Feel my vessel go up in flames
Flesh torch lit by thee unnamed
Direct connection to the source
Vestment of unnatural force
Forever burning black torch
Wisdom of the old and true
Possessed by the chosen few
Shining to reveal the ways
Of a darkness that pervades
All that is and ever was
Inferno of witches blood
Worship is not on bended knee
Nature knows not of mercy
To pray is to accept defeat
Power pisses on the weak
Bow and beheaded by the beast
Beggar on a bitches leash
Scum is desperate for relief
Worship is the way I ride
Witching currents through the eye
Of storms that force the false to die
Worship the flames with which I rise
Into apocalyptic skies
Harsh winds flay mine flesh to bone
In splintered skeleton I roam
Wastelands with not to call my own
But the path I walk alone
The hunger burns, within my gut
As my bones turn into dust
And I know soon come my time
For in mine void a pale horse burns
But I fear not the time I'm taken
Past the point of no return
Wage war like no tomorrow, know well there wont we one
For all who deny the struggle
The triumphant overcome
I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fists and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the beast I worship
I am the beast I worship
I close my eyes and zerk it
