Yeah, it's amazing to see how the've transformed into a completely new type of music. They decided that simply singing about killing people with a blunt object wasn't enough, they needed something more impactful, something more agressive in the music itself. That's why the instrumentals is the most agressive part of the album, while Stefan is simply rapping about grabbing his crotch, losing all his money in Las Vegas after a game of blackjack and that one time he and his brother got lost in the local mall.
I saw MC Ride at a grocery store in Sacramento yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually because “TOO MANY HOES IN MY MOTHAFUCKING MEAL” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that makes any sense. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yelling really loudly.
Do you like Death Grips? Their early work was a little too...electronic for my tastes. But when Exmilitary came out in 2010, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a rough, jagged sound and a new sheen of disdainful cynicism that really gives the songs a big boost. In 2012, they released this, The Money Store, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hacker", a song so NOIDED that most people don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, cause it's not just about the moment all shit breaks loose, and all there is left to do is riot, but it's also about how that Death Grips has made an impact on the game and no longer can be ignored! HEY PAUL!

it's true. i just think people tend to throw the phrase "saving hip hop" whenever an artist puts out an album that's ever so slightly against the status quo. wanted to highlight that my love for this album has little to do with any contexualization within hip hop.
how did this guy not die from listening to the best song known to man, system blower? it sounds as if the postal dude is kicking every one of my doors lol
In my opinion, you can't just give something one listen and truly decide whether or not it's good especially if you're unsure about it. I'm a big progressive metal guy so when I picked this album up for the first time I hated it. I gave it a second go since I knew sort of what to expect and I'd safely say this is one of my favorite albums to date. Moral of the story: Give it a chance. Don't listen to 10 seconds and say it sucks right away.
I agree! I feel like often when I listen to a new album, especially one as challenging as this, the first listen or two acquaints me with the sort of 'sound' the artist is going for, and only when I'm in the mindset to immerse myself in that sound later on do I come to fully appreciate the album. It's very rewarding.
First time I listened to it I made it through like thirty seconds and was like “eh I’m good”. Second time I listened to it I listened all the way through and loved it
But I feel as though really good albums such as TPAB will make perfect sense on the first listen whilst still conveying layers of depth and details to discover on later listen. But then projects like this and blond have taken me 6 or 7 listens before I got comfortable with them
This fucking album. Insane. It's harder and more excessive than anything I've ever heard. I've heard heavier and darker music but nothing so... manic yet exhilarating in it's delivery. So many artists have "shocking" music but most of the time it's an unconvincing facade which actually so untruthfully hits upon gore or "evilness" without really portraying any true menace at all. The character that's portrayed by MC Ride accompanied by the music underscoring really fleshes out the mindset of this very human villain.
Every single noise is off-kilter. Every beat and bass rumble vibrates with gravity and menace. This doesn't try to convince you of its heaviness or darkness... You instinctively know that from the first second. Shit's wild. I'm three days into finally giving them a chance and I can't remember any complaints I had three years ago when I first listened.
I had always heard about death Grips cause I've been watching ND since '10 but I always ignored them as being just noise, and I was never that into rap. After delving into hip hop at the beginning of this year and obsessing over Run the Jewels 2 and To Pimp a Butterfly, I finally listening to Get Got and I've Seen Footage. I liked them but the rest of the money store was so repelling to my ears. It finally took seeing Death Grips live at FYF to finally understand what their motif is. I listened to money store on repeat for a week after and everything Anthony says is true. It's so rewarding once you finally wade thru all the sludge and aggression. Every new listen reveals something new. It's such a complex album that it takes a certain amount of patience and mindfulness to see what's happening. I'm sure this album will go down in independent music history.
huh, I took a similar journey with Death Grips. First I heard TND gave this album a 10 I listened to Get Got and I just didn't understand as I didn't like rap at all back then and had little to no experience with such abrasive music. Then a few years later when he reviewed RTJ2 I decided to give rap another chance and something just clicked, I fucking loved it. Then went back through all the rap albums I'd missed on the Loved List and finally got around to revisiting The Money Store, I think the first one I checked out was I've Seen Footage, the rest is history. Now I own every one of their albums (minus Exmilitary cus I cant find it :(
“This thing is sitting on a throne of its own design and nobody’s watching because the picture is just too horrifying to stare at.” That was pretty beautiful tbh
@@mmusic8446 i finished listening to The Money Store like 15 mins ago and it’s like a high 7. It’s really fuckin weird and it feels like I should hate this but it’s just not. It’s actually pretty good. It just sort of works
Death Grips discography from best to worst (in Anthony's opinion) 1. The Money Store (strong 9/10 to 10/10) 2. Bottomless Pit (decent to strong 9/10) 3. The Powers That B (light to decent 9/10) 4. NO LOVE DEEP WEB (8/10) 5. Exmiliary (8/10) 6. Fashion Week (decent to strong 7/10) 7. Government Plates (light to decent 6/10) (government plates=Kanye West, MBDTF
These rating kinda confuse me. In my opinion, bottomless pit is better in every way than The Money Store, but the money store has more bangers and catchy tunes. If he's grading them based on raw accomplishment/skill, then how is the powers that b not a 10? I don't think fandango thinks about his ratings much
I get a little creeped out when I listen to 'Punk Weight'. When that loud burst of bass comes in, it gives me weird feelings... it's such a confusingly catchy and weird album.
These guys were, and still are, on some next-level shit. I certainly don't understand all of their musings and imagery and artistic decisions, and I don't know if any of us will for a few years. But this group was a truly groundbreaking group. They had a sound that could have only been forged in the late-aughts and early-2010s. This group will seriously go down as one of this generation's most confounding, divisive, and revolutionary musical acts. I'll be loving these guys for a long time.
When I saw you giving Death Grips (which I had never heard of before) 8s and 10s and shit, I had to go check them out. i listened to a few individual tracks, and didn't really get it, but decided to get money store and ex-military anyways, and I regret absolutely nothing. I fucking love this shit. Thanks for helping me become a Death Grips fan
My friend was there, he said a guy threw up and it smelt like shit, which is exactly what he thought a Death Grips concert would be like. I wanted to go so bad!
I saw fantano at a death grips concert. I went up to him very politely asking for an autograph, and I kid you not this man tried to fight me. You must have caught him on a good day. I literally had to yell for security. Later that night I went to the bathroom and he tried to sell me molly. He’s a lot more aggressive in person than you would think from the videos.
Everyone says you have to listen to Death Grips multiple times-am I the only one who loved "Beware" on first listen? Like, Charles Manson got interrupted by this beautiful, dark, twisted, fantastic, atmospheric opening-I was easily entranced. It's crazy because I've never tried music outside of hip-hop, jazz, and a small bit of R&B.
I thought Death Grips were *incredibly* overrated at first. After really giving them a chance, it slowly fit into place. And now I get it. They, with their addictive lo-fi values and disturbing nature, are the Blair Witch Project of music. ...or something. It's the closest comparison I could find, OK?
Excellent comparisons. At first, I had quite the same reaction, but mostly because I usually take a conservative approach towards music, constantly looking for melody and traditional hooks. I feel their production is sort of a worm, eating its way inside one's brain, until the fever started blowing. And aside, I have huge respect for their style and attitude towards music making and the industry.
I just remembered what happened that changed my mind on the Grips. People kept telling me, "Oh no, they're awesome, you have to listen to them again". So I did. I listened to The Fever once or twice. And then I had a school trip. We went to an animal testing facility, of all places. It was for Science class. When we went to the necropsy dept. they showed us these... get ready for this... tiny mammal fetuses that had been treated with chemicals, so that their skin was see-through and all you could see was their bones, which were dyed red and blue. Little red and blue skeletal fetuses. It was so bizarre and so morbid that it got me thinking about life and death and everything... and then The Fever got stuck in my head, and I remembered Anthony saying it sounded like a "genetically engineered mutant escaping from a science lab". And I realised I was _in_ a science lab, so I started imagining MC Ride stomping down the corridors, breaking things. I guess all I'm saying is that the music of the Death Grips has a fascinating way of dealing with morbid topics. Sometimes it takes something like that to understand it.
1Superchops I understand what you mean, but on the same time I don't get it, as I cannot hear anything morbid in their music. To me, it's very raw, emotional, politic, affirmative, powerful and often dark. But I find nothing morbid in their music, as it's very lively for once. Purely as an example, to me some black or death metal can be quite morbid, or even the average, self-indulgent gothic lyrics.
For me the morbidness is in the lyrics. Lyrics like "deviated septum blowhole", or "head of a trick in a bucket, body of a trick in a bag", or hell, even "On your knees, black goat anus" are pretty morbid in my eyes.
fbomb108 wow it’s been 2 years but fuck you buddy. I have a hard time articulating why I like their music to my friends like Anthony does, so watching these reviews help. Also, it’s quite nice to hear someone talk good about them when idk anybody else who really fucks with them.
You are awesome Anthony! I have listened to this album more then once, and each time it presents a revelation to me. Listening to your review makes me appreciate it that much more.
Just listened to the CD right now. I don't get all these Death Grip fans thinking they have way better taste in music than the people who don't like it. I found the CD to be very catchy at times, and enjoyable to listen to. Sounds awesome, but I think if someone doesn't like it on here, its more likely that its not in their taste... not that they "don't understand it" (cringe). Enjoy the CD if its in your taste, don't if its not... if you think either of those sides is a fool, then you're a basic idiot yourself
smokelakes I wouldn't say it be the Death Grip fans but just the "Hipster" kids thinking they are better then everyone because they can understand Death Grips. Those kind of people ruin disliking and liking bands.
I saw that your least favorite track was Fuck That, and I actually thought it was a joke because of the 10/10 rating. I was significantly less amused when I discovered that the track was real (not that the album wasn't AWESOME).
i think everyone starts out with not liking this album until you really sit down by yourself and give it an honest listen...then a deathgrips fan is born..or at least thats how it worked for me
Not everyone has to adjust to like it. I liked them the first time around, and then hearing the rest of this as well as NLDW really made me fall in love.
The Money Store was definitely a weird animal that crashed through my bay window and made a mess of the pots and pans in my kitchen. But I couldn't do anything about it because it had such a beautiful rainbow colored coat of feathers and horns that I was stunned in awe and disbelief. I definitely have not heard anything like this before. I don't consider myself a connoisseur of hip hop by any means, although I dabble in groups like Wu Tang Clan and NWA when I feel like something different than the usual Defeater or La Dispute. Even mainstream artists like Eminem or Mos Def will rap about the struggles of every day life. But Death Grips is 100% shock value, no holds barred horror rap. Getting into Death Grips was no easy task since I've never experienced hip hop of this caliber. Imagine you eating nothing but saltines and white milk your entire life, then going to the nearest Thai restaurant and ordering the spiciest item on the menu. Death Grips is certainly some of the most original, thought-provoking hip hop on the market, and I can tell because calling it hip hop almost makes it seem less than what it is. It's such a unique style that it's difficult to brand it, and that's why I enjoy it so much. The shouty, dirty, visceral vocals coupled with the disorienting nausea-inducing productions of drums and deep, fat, farty synths and bass drops is slightly reminiscent of a horror movie. The vocals honestly remind me of a Tyrone character, a meth-addled murder rapist from a shitty neighborhood, and I can almost feel the spit and the heat from his breath as he's screaming directly in my face. It's raw, it's frosty, and intimidating as fuck. This album is definitely not for the faint of heart and easily puts a lot of other "murder rap" albums to shame. My favorite tracks are Get Got and Hustle Bones, two really catchy songs with amazing hooks and some really great programming and beats. This album is iconic in its own way and is so original that it deserves to be in its own niche of the genre. I give it a 8/10.
No Love Deep web has a much greater intensity for me that's why I give that album 10/10 over this one. This one is more accessible for first time listeners but on No Love Deep Web I love the overly excessive bass that paves way for ultra aggresive lyrics and vocal delivery. As well as the complex melodies infused on top. A true party album - No Love Deep Web 10/10
I feel like the style on NLDW is much more accessable for me and there are my favorite songs from Death Grips on that album like Stockton and No Love. But songs like Pop, Whammy and Bass Rattle Stars Out The Sky are some of their worst songs in my opinion and The Money Store doesnt really has that, almost every song is super sick. Thats why i still enjoy it a little bit more overall.
I have a problem of not listening to new music so I probably wouldn’t have listened to this album if I wasn’t curious why Fantano gave it a 10/10. Now I’ll be forever grateful, some of my new favourite songs are on this album. Thank you Fantano. “Bitch please, you must be smoking rocks” that’s shits my jam!
I was just blown away about how immersive this album was. It sucks you in and makes you stay there. It was actually almost paralyzing, I couldn't do anything but listen to it it absolutely demands your full attention. I don't think I could even listen to this album while driving.
This is the first rap album that i wanted to give a chance to and the first time I've heard this album i got repulsed and disgusted by the tracks in it, this is one of the most uninviting, annoying and hard to listen albums I've ever heard...but after a while it grew on me and I really started to get into it ! all the sounds and vocals that annoyed and irritated me in those tracks are now irreplaceable and essential for the greatness of this album. This album is sick and i like every bit of it. Thanks Anthony for introducing me to this great experience !
Dave Pinhas well it’s like a horror movie. When you watch a horror movie. You aren’t looking for a pleasant experience. You are looking for an exciting and stimulating one that will also really off put you. Some albums require the same mentality
I'm surprised this hasn't received nearly a million views yet, it is one of his best reviews. Not only because he gave the album a perfect score, he inspired loads of us to listen to Death Grips and fall in love with this amazingly wild masterpiece. Could this sound be the future of music?
This is just how I see it, relatively speaking, about the general forefront of supremely talented dark edginess in music...anyone feel free to add to the list :) In the 1960's, The Rolling Stones Paint It Black was released, Alice Cooper appeared, and then the masterful Led Zeppelin influence began. The 1970's had Black Sabbath at the helm. The 1980's had Metallica at it's very best. The 1990's had Marilyn Manson pushing all boundaries. The 2000's had Eminem playing the ultimate no holds barred villainous superstar. And the 2010's......have Death Grips :)
I just re-listened to this and I would completely give this a 10 as well, its so unique, sounds amazing, has so many interesting aspects, it exceeds description.
Death Grips is so fucking tight. This album was equally as good as Exmilitary but for completely different reasons. While Exmilitary was more samples and sounds, The Money Store feels more like it's comprised of synths and bass. But their trademark angry, glitchy, feel are just as present as ever. Great shit.
I saw MC Ride chilling in a sleeping bag under the freeway babbling to himself. It's awesome that with all the success he's still so humble!

In my opinion, you can't just give something one listen and truly decide whether or not it's good especially if you're unsure about it. I'm a big progressive metal guy so when I picked this album up for the first time I hated it. I gave it a second go since I knew sort of what to expect and I'd safely say this is one of my favorite albums to date.
Moral of the story: Give it a chance. Don't listen to 10 seconds and say it sucks right away.

Liquid Tension2 you just have to realize that it’s not rap, it’s not hip hop, and it’s not metal. It’s insanity.

Never heard an album that makes me want to scream and shout spontaneously.
Yes, because I meant that in a good way and it's really fun to listen to.
Madvillainy91 scream AND shout? daammmnn
Scream and shout and let it all out?
You gotta scream and shout and let it all out

I had always heard about death Grips cause I've been watching ND since '10 but I always ignored them as being just noise, and I was never that into rap. After delving into hip hop at the beginning of this year and obsessing over Run the Jewels 2 and To Pimp a Butterfly, I finally listening to Get Got and I've Seen Footage. I liked them but the rest of the money store was so repelling to my ears. It finally took seeing Death Grips live at FYF to finally understand what their motif is. I listened to money store on repeat for a week after and everything Anthony says is true. It's so rewarding once you finally wade thru all the sludge and aggression. Every new listen reveals something new. It's such a complex album that it takes a certain amount of patience and mindfulness to see what's happening. I'm sure this album will go down in independent music history.
Rusty Shackleford I’m proud of you now you have a Death Grips profile picture 3 years later
huh, I took a similar journey with Death Grips. First I heard TND gave this album a 10 I listened to Get Got and I just didn't understand as I didn't like rap at all back then and had little to no experience with such abrasive music.
Then a few years later when he reviewed RTJ2 I decided to give rap another chance and something just clicked, I fucking loved it. Then went back through all the rap albums I'd missed on the Loved List and finally got around to revisiting The Money Store, I think the first one I checked out was I've Seen Footage, the rest is history. Now I own every one of their albums (minus Exmilitary cus I cant find it :(
I like that you have a YOTS pfp!
“This thing is sitting on a throne of its own design and nobody’s watching because the picture is just too horrifying to stare at.”
That was pretty beautiful tbh
😂how do you music nerds enjoy it??? Yall are giving it a 10/10 because they perfectly executed being a horrible album
@@mmusic8446 I first thought the same but after I listened to Get got and after I discovered the Hook from Hacker i changed my mind
@@mmusic8446 i finished listening to The Money Store like 15 mins ago and it’s like a high 7. It’s really fuckin weird and it feels like I should hate this but it’s just not. It’s actually pretty good. It just sort of works
Death Grips discography from best to worst (in Anthony's opinion)
1. The Money Store (strong 9/10 to 10/10)
2. Bottomless Pit (decent to strong 9/10)
3. The Powers That B (light to decent 9/10)
4. NO LOVE DEEP WEB (8/10)
5. Exmiliary (8/10)
6. Fashion Week (decent to strong 7/10)
7. Government Plates (light to decent 6/10) (government plates=Kanye West, MBDTF
He's said that he would change Exmilitary to 9/10 doe
where?
I think it was on an ama
Government plates is not on the same level as MBDTF. Fantano rates the number based on enjoyment.
These rating kinda confuse me. In my opinion, bottomless pit is better in every way than The Money Store, but the money store has more bangers and catchy tunes. If he's grading them based on raw accomplishment/skill, then how is the powers that b not a 10? I don't think fandango thinks about his ratings much
true patrician music
AGREED

These guys were, and still are, on some next-level shit. I certainly don't understand all of their musings and imagery and artistic decisions, and I don't know if any of us will for a few years. But this group was a truly groundbreaking group. They had a sound that could have only been forged in the late-aughts and early-2010s. This group will seriously go down as one of this generation's most confounding, divisive, and revolutionary musical acts. I'll be loving these guys for a long time.
I hated this thing the first time i listened. But i ended up forcing myself to fully listen and now i love it. Shit hard as fuck
programmed
I was i same way.
I can't listen around other people. They tend to ruin the experience
How did your shit become hard from music? Teach me the ways.
I thought Death Grips were hard...
Then I tried to listen to Swans...
Jesus Christ it's difficult.
When I saw you giving Death Grips (which I had never heard of before) 8s and 10s and shit, I had to go check them out. i listened to a few individual tracks, and didn't really get it, but decided to get money store and ex-military anyways, and I regret absolutely nothing.
I fucking love this shit.
Thanks for helping me become a Death Grips fan

I saw fantano at a death grips concert. I went up to him very politely asking for an autograph, and I kid you not this man tried to fight me. You must have caught him on a good day.

I felt like I was in a prison cell listening to this. claustrophobic is right.
Punk weight not being in the favourite tracks section is a felony.
Everyone says you have to listen to Death Grips multiple times-am I the only one who loved "Beware" on first listen? Like, Charles Manson got interrupted by this beautiful, dark, twisted, fantastic, atmospheric opening-I was easily entranced. It's crazy because I've never tried music outside of hip-hop, jazz, and a small bit of R&B.
You should check out Year of the Snitch. The album's pretty crazy in terms of music genre.
i see what you did there
beautiful, dark and twisted, you say?
I thought Death Grips were *incredibly* overrated at first. After really giving them a chance, it slowly fit into place. And now I get it. They, with their addictive lo-fi values and disturbing nature, are the Blair Witch Project of music.
...or something. It's the closest comparison I could find, OK?
Excellent comparisons. At first, I had quite the same reaction, but mostly because I usually take a conservative approach towards music, constantly looking for melody and traditional hooks. I feel their production is sort of a worm, eating its way inside one's brain, until the fever started blowing. And aside, I have huge respect for their style and attitude towards music making and the industry.
More like the A Clockwork's Orange of music
I just remembered what happened that changed my mind on the Grips.
People kept telling me, "Oh no, they're awesome, you have to listen to them again". So I did. I listened to The Fever once or twice.
And then I had a school trip. We went to an animal testing facility, of all places. It was for Science class. When we went to the necropsy dept. they showed us these... get ready for this... tiny mammal fetuses that had been treated with chemicals, so that their skin was see-through and all you could see was their bones, which were dyed red and blue. Little red and blue skeletal fetuses.
It was so bizarre and so morbid that it got me thinking about life and death and everything... and then The Fever got stuck in my head, and I remembered Anthony saying it sounded like a "genetically engineered mutant escaping from a science lab". And I realised I was _in_ a science lab, so I started imagining MC Ride stomping down the corridors, breaking things.
I guess all I'm saying is that the music of the Death Grips has a fascinating way of dealing with morbid topics. Sometimes it takes something like that to understand it.
1Superchops I understand what you mean, but on the same time I don't get it, as I cannot hear anything morbid in their music. To me, it's very raw, emotional, politic, affirmative, powerful and often dark. But I find nothing morbid in their music, as it's very lively for once. Purely as an example, to me some black or death metal can be quite morbid, or even the average, self-indulgent gothic lyrics.
For me the morbidness is in the lyrics. Lyrics like "deviated septum blowhole", or "head of a trick in a bucket, body of a trick in a bag", or hell, even "On your knees, black goat anus" are pretty morbid in my eyes.
Imagine not putting Hustle Bones as an album favorite
ong he didnt even mention it
I can't believe it's 12 years since Death Grips invented Music.
this is like my 10th time going through all your Death Grips reviews
fbomb108 wow it’s been 2 years but fuck you buddy. I have a hard time articulating why I like their music to my friends like Anthony does, so watching these reviews help. Also, it’s quite nice to hear someone talk good about them when idk anybody else who really fucks with them.
I still worship this album. I'm glad Anthony felt the same way, definite 10/10
Death Grips is one of the most exciting projects I've heard in years to be honest.
I almost crashed my car today listening to this. 10/10 vibes
the prequel to yeezus getting a five
I felt one of the brilliant aspects of The Money Store is just the title. Because in a money store what holds any value
Check cashing places are sometimes called "the money store" in poor urban neighborhoods.
They are to Hip Hop what King Crimson was to Rock.
whats that exactly
But did people hate King Crimson like they did Death Grips?
Critics sure as hell did.
orhema oluga that's means extremely experimental and amazing, in my opinion
Critics hated King Crimson, yeah.
You are awesome Anthony! I have listened to this album more then once, and each time it presents a revelation to me. Listening to your review makes me appreciate it that much more.
A normal comment on this channel? How daunting.
I did not like the ending when you gave this album a zero because mc ride is black, the rest of the review is great.
Yeah, I kinda winced when he called MC a "porch monkey"
Just listened to the CD right now. I don't get all these Death Grip fans thinking they have way better taste in music than the people who don't like it. I found the CD to be very catchy at times, and enjoyable to listen to. Sounds awesome, but I think if someone doesn't like it on here, its more likely that its not in their taste... not that they "don't understand it" (cringe). Enjoy the CD if its in your taste, don't if its not... if you think either of those sides is a fool, then you're a basic idiot yourself
(I just have to get over him sounding a bit like Kenan Thompson sometimes haha)
We don't think that, I love them, but I can understand while people dont like them.
Tristan Sickles Yeah I should've put more emphasis that I don't mean all Death Grips fans, just some
smokelakes I wouldn't say it be the Death Grip fans but just the "Hipster" kids thinking they are better then everyone because they can understand Death Grips. Those kind of people ruin disliking and liking bands.
I guess I just don't understand why shit tastes good.
Screaming I’ve seen footage out of your car at 3 am blasting the song on a highway is a phat moof
on my way home from graveyard to stay awake I do this
nothing compares
If this album was called My Money Store Dark Twisted Fantasy, you would’ve given it a 6.
I saw that your least favorite track was Fuck That, and I actually thought it was a joke because of the 10/10 rating. I was significantly less amused when I discovered that the track was real (not that the album wasn't AWESOME).
PRO GAMING no one asked
i think everyone starts out with not liking this album until you really sit down by yourself and give it an honest listen...then a deathgrips fan is born..or at least thats how it worked for me
first track I heard was get got
absolute love on first listen
Not everyone has to adjust to like it. I liked them the first time around, and then hearing the rest of this as well as NLDW really made me fall in love.
absolute love on first listen is right
Kids go to school
Adults go to the bank
Legends go to the money store

Bahahahahah beautiful comparison
Because it seems like the most difficult music you listen to until you realize its just pop rap.
@@ButtonWalls it’s not rap and neither is it pop. Look up the genre
both are my favorite things
Lmao hell no
The Money Store was definitely a weird animal that crashed through my bay window and made a mess of the pots and pans in my kitchen. But I couldn't do anything about it because it had such a beautiful rainbow colored coat of feathers and horns that I was stunned in awe and disbelief. I definitely have not heard anything like this before. I don't consider myself a connoisseur of hip hop by any means, although I dabble in groups like Wu Tang Clan and NWA when I feel like something different than the usual Defeater or La Dispute. Even mainstream artists like Eminem or Mos Def will rap about the struggles of every day life. But Death Grips is 100% shock value, no holds barred horror rap. Getting into Death Grips was no easy task since I've never experienced hip hop of this caliber. Imagine you eating nothing but saltines and white milk your entire life, then going to the nearest Thai restaurant and ordering the spiciest item on the menu. Death Grips is certainly some of the most original, thought-provoking hip hop on the market, and I can tell because calling it hip hop almost makes it seem less than what it is. It's such a unique style that it's difficult to brand it, and that's why I enjoy it so much. The shouty, dirty, visceral vocals coupled with the disorienting nausea-inducing productions of drums and deep, fat, farty synths and bass drops is slightly reminiscent of a horror movie. The vocals honestly remind me of a Tyrone character, a meth-addled murder rapist from a shitty neighborhood, and I can almost feel the spit and the heat from his breath as he's screaming directly in my face. It's raw, it's frosty, and intimidating as fuck. This album is definitely not for the faint of heart and easily puts a lot of other "murder rap" albums to shame. My favorite tracks are Get Got and Hustle Bones, two really catchy songs with amazing hooks and some really great programming and beats. This album is iconic in its own way and is so original that it deserves to be in its own niche of the genre. I give it a 8/10.

True
It’s literally aggressive music
Bro if they think Death Grips is aggressive, they should check out Jane Doe. I was no where near expecting the sounds off that monstrous album 😱
No Love Deep web has a much greater intensity for me that's why I give that album 10/10 over this one. This one is more accessible for first time listeners but on No Love Deep Web I love the overly excessive bass that paves way for ultra aggresive lyrics and vocal delivery. As well as the complex melodies infused on top. A true party album - No Love Deep Web 10/10
I agree with the rating but I think No Love Deep Web is actually more easily accessible personally
I feel like the style on NLDW is much more accessable for me and there are my favorite songs from Death Grips on that album like Stockton and No Love. But songs like Pop, Whammy and Bass Rattle Stars Out The Sky are some of their worst songs in my opinion and The Money Store doesnt really has that, almost every song is super sick. Thats why i still enjoy it a little bit more overall.
NLDW has duds. TMS does not.
that being said, Stockton is my favorite DG track of all time
NEW DEATH GRIPS ALBUM GET IT
The first time I listened to this album I was 12 and thought it was called The Monkey Store
I have a problem of not listening to new music so I probably wouldn’t have listened to this album if I wasn’t curious why Fantano gave it a 10/10. Now I’ll be forever grateful, some of my new favourite songs are on this album. Thank you Fantano.

This is the first rap album that i wanted to give a chance to and the first time I've heard this album i got repulsed and disgusted by the tracks in it, this is one of the most uninviting, annoying and hard to listen albums I've ever heard...but after a while it grew on me and I really started to get into it ! all the sounds and vocals that annoyed and irritated me in those tracks are now irreplaceable and essential for the greatness of this album.
This album is sick and i like every bit of it.
Thanks Anthony for introducing me to this great experience !
Perfect example of how great DG are
Dave Pinhas well it’s like a horror movie. When you watch a horror movie. You aren’t looking for a pleasant experience. You are looking for an exciting and stimulating one that will also really off put you. Some albums require the same mentality

Not yet
It’s hard to believe you didn’t put blackjack, hustle bones, or punk weight in your faves, them shits hit.
This is just how I see it, relatively speaking, about the general forefront of supremely talented dark edginess in music...anyone feel free to add to the list :)
In the 1960's, The Rolling Stones Paint It Black was released, Alice Cooper appeared, and then the masterful Led Zeppelin influence began.
The 1970's had Black Sabbath at the helm.
The 1980's had Metallica at it's very best.
The 1990's had Marilyn Manson pushing all boundaries.
The 2000's had Eminem playing the ultimate no holds barred villainous superstar.
And the 2010's......have Death Grips :)
I'd put Rob Zombie for the 90s over Marilyn Manson.
rob isnt very dark or edgy. He goes for a more cheesy b-movie creature feature vibe most the time
between manson and eminem there was slipknot [sic]
GG Allin > all in the 90's.
Shining
I just re-listened to this and I would completely give this a 10 as well, its so unique, sounds amazing, has so many interesting aspects, it exceeds description.
Nice pfp
listening to this review while listening to the album fits perfectly
Death Grips is so fucking tight. This album was equally as good as Exmilitary but for completely different reasons. While Exmilitary was more samples and sounds, The Money Store feels more like it's comprised of synths and bass. But their trademark angry, glitchy, feel are just as present as ever. Great shit.
