Support NeoGAF

[Arctick]

Nah, I didn't agree with you about him sounding as weak on ULB as he did on Surf. Just that Surf was an overall weak project, though no faults of his own. I also disagree with you about him phoning it in. He's dropped some great verses between this and Acid Rap. Israel (Sparring) is pretty great. It's really not just his marketing, though, I do think that's great. He has a really good idea of how to use his voice as an instrument and flows perfectly over beats. He can also rap really, really well and has enough personality + self-awareness to inject into his music. His lyrics + delivery makes him standout a lot to me.

Chill, it's really not deep. It wasn't an attack and me telling you to stop wasn't being literal. This is a conversation, though, we disagreed, I got a new tape to listen to from it. Don't let this little stuff get to you or GAF will be very frustrating for you.

Lol, don't give me that Senior-Junior talk, I know how Gaf is and can be. I literally gave my opinion, and you drop a whole bunch of MV links that I've already heard and seen, and then tell me I'm wrong and to stop. I know you weren't trying to personally attack me, but you tried to spark the discussion in a really poor and reactionary way.

Not to devolve it further but some rappers I think have waay more personality are Joey Badass, Danny Brown, Freddie Gibbs, the Underachievers, TUT, Ratking, Billy Woods, Mick Jenkins, Injury Reserve & Flatbush Zombies. Just to put Chance in perspective, he's too middle of the road for me.

 

[Rixxan]

am i the only one that cant get over this trap beat in pt. 2 ?

honestly one of my favorite beats ever

 

[Izuna]

You watching the No Love music video?

I made it 70% through Guillotine and then watched No Love.

"Maybe it'll sound better after I smoke some weed."
Worst idea ever.
I'm scared now.

LOL

Back to TLoP~

 

[Quick]

Halfway through TLOP.

Waves is such a great track.

 

[Ran rp]

I don't know why but the "Oh" "Yes" sample on Fade keeps giving me David Lynch vibes.

 

[Fry]

loving facts.

don't give up on dg after 2 songs

[Anth0ny]

FML is my fav song atm. So fucking good.

 

[Izuna]

Bruh, listen to Takyon and you'll understand everything.

he had his chance, and he scared me

--

It took me a LONG time but now I see why people like FML.

 

[robotrock]

I think The Money Store might be the easiest Death Grips record to get into. I'd start there.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Ehhh. It's a good album but there's nothing that really stands out to me, kind of disappointed honestly.

 

[breakfuss]

Halfway through TLOP.

Waves is such a great track.

It really is. I love when Cudi comes in, even if it is only for a few seconds.

 

[robotrock]

Honestly I still can't get over 30 Hours. Didn't listen to it when the G.O.O.D. Fridays version dropped, but it's so good on the album. like holy shit.

i want that beat to loop forever

 

[Izuna]

Ehhh. It's a good album but there's nothing that really stands out to me, kind of disappointed honestly.

It's like the first time you try raw fish.

You'll be back.

 

[Floridian]

Freestyle 4 & Feedback reminds me of Yeezus. They could fit on the album if I placed them on it.

 

[chaislip3]

I can't stop listening to this

 

[BlackGhost]

Honestly I still can't get over 30 Hours. Didn't listen to it when the G.O.O.D. Fridays version dropped, but it's so good on the album. like holy shit.

First listen for me was on OVO sound on Saturday, love it.

 

[Extollere]

am i the only one that cant get over this trap beat in pt. 2 ?

honestly one of my favorite beats ever

It's actually amazing... I just wish it was longer... I just wanna feel LIBELATBBELYEDAEDa

 

[MercuryLS]

I don't understand how he saved Facts from being shit-tier on this album, it's actually not bad now. How?

 

[Zekes!]

Honestly I still can't get over 30 Hours. Didn't listen to it when the G.O.O.D. Fridays version dropped, but it's so good on the album. like holy shit.

All i can think of is driving forever ala Outrun listening to the beat of 30 Hours forever

 

[Ben Morales]

All i can think of is driving forever ala Outrun listening to the beat of 30 Hours forever

Splash WAVES

 

[Bacon]

I don't understand how he saved Facts from being shit-tier on this album, it's actually not bad now. How?

No idea. I actually can't wait for it to come on on my full album listens. Might have been my least favorite ye track previously. That shit just bangs now, crazy how a beat switch can change so much.

 

[Shia_Labeouf]

am i the only one that cant get over this trap beat in pt. 2 ?

honestly one of my favorite beats ever

Stacks ohhhhhhhh

Love it.

 

[Mik317]

if you are talking about the part with Splenda Future then that a full song

 

[BlackGhost]

I don't understand how he saved Facts from being shit-tier on this album, it's actually not bad now. How?

I enjoy Facts now can't lie. Can't wait to hear it on my headphones. Can't wait to hear the whole albums on my headphones really

 

[Barzul]

I don't understand how he saved Facts from being shit-tier on this album, it's actually not bad now. How?

New production and I think some lines were rerecorded but yeah he saved it

 

[sdornan]

TLOP OR TPAB??

They're very different. That said, TPAB is miles above, especially if you like your music to have a message and make a statement; TLOP doesn't really say anything.

 

[Draper]

Fucking Famous guys...

 

[Baroquemantic]

Someone save me from the hell that is Freestyle 4. I can't stop listening. It's so hauntingly addicting, and when that beat drops....gotdamn. Nasty yo.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

I'm sorry fam, I'm trying to like Waves but I cant. Chris Brown's voice just turns me off.

 

[Blastoise]

Fade is only saved by the beat.

 

[Denzel]

Who the fuck is death grips
This album is dope btw, glad ye is back in his bag and serving the people with thus music

 

[sdornan]

"3 Stacks, can you help me out?"

"No, not really. Okay, maybe in the smallest way possible."

 

[Zekes!]

I'm sorry fam, I'm trying to like Waves but I cant. Chris Brown's voice just turns me off.

I hate Chris Brown, but Waves man

 

[Rembrandt]

Are you more upset over me dropping links or telling you that you're wrong and to stop?

Not a fan of Joey, Flatbush, or the Underachievers. but Jenkins, Gibbs, and Brown are dope. Any tapes from the others you recommend?

Chance is better than all of those people besides Jenkins, though. How can you call him boring but think Badass is better?

It took me a LONG time but now I see why people like FML.

That's why you listen to either The Money Store or Jenny Death. Those are their two most accessible albums, with JD being more traditional punk and TMS being electro-anarchy. Seriously, Get Got is absolute flames.

 

[robotrock]

I wonder what this album sounded like a year ago

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

you're gonna learn, son. you're gonna learn TODAY.

they're on tidal. since you have tidal, go listen to the money store and go from there.

 

[ginger ninja]

I'm sorry fam, I'm trying to like Waves but I cant. Chris Brown's voice just turns me off.

I feel the opposite. Wonder if he has done something worth checking out recently ?

 

[TheFixer]

I think Kanye's introspective yarns about excess, family, depression, insatiable ambition, Oedipal Complex, and immortality are infinitely more original, profound, human, and interesting than K. Dot's corny, derivative spiels on TPAB. And even with Kanye's notorious narcissism and penchant for dramatics, Pablo manages to be less self-indulgent and bloated than TPAB.

 

[Rembrandt]

loving facts.

I didn't think it would make the album but the new version bangs.

Wish we got a new version of All Day.

I wonder what this album sounded like a year ago

More Paul McCartney. I think it's hilarious he managed to do a song with a member from the fucking Beatles and took the songs off the album. His cuts didn't even make Rihanna's album. lmao.

you can make a good argument for it being more interesting and original, but Kanye couldn't match the emotion Kendrick expressed in U and Alright will be remembered far after people stop hyping this CD up. The TPAB hate hurts me and I haven't even listened to the CD in a minute.

TPAB is self indulgent. I've heard it all now

Oh god I completely forgot about this whole Paul McCartney thing. He was supposed to be working with Kanye on a good amount of the album, right?

I think he's still working with Kanye on the Only One game.

 

[Extollere]

I take back what I said about No More Parties in LA.

 

[Jest Chillin]

They're very different. That said, TPAB is miles above, especially if you like your music to have a message and make a statement; TLOP doesn't really say anything.

TLOP definitely says some things. It's just not trying to preach (for lack of a better term) the same way TPAB does.

 

[Bowlie]

ouch, you going for them hyperboles, huh!

 

[Blastoise]

I've sampled the beat from fade and just have it looping in the background. Makes me want to fuck. lol.

Too bad V-Day was yesterday for me.

How much of that is intentional and how much of that is you finding meaning where there is none?

I'll admit that TLOP has a lot of good stuff going on but I find very little of it to be in the lyrics.
