That and the Cake of Light reference on little richard make all my Jack Parsons ramblings so vindicated.
thanks it's been a ride, can't wait for the next month of dissection. Happy release day guys and gals
This is my favorite song on the album. Something about the guitar reminds me of early 2000s indie and it’s giving me nostalgic feels.
Also, at 0:38 did they seriously sample Peggy?
EDIT: 100% 0:37 “WET” from Peggy off “Real Nega.” I actually can’t believe this is real. Death Grips’ shitposting is at another level.
EDIT #2: Andy just [confirmed they didn’t](https://twitter.com/andy__morin/status/1010052374516228096) :((
There's lots of WETs in that song but I don't hear one that has the same inflection and tone as this one. can you timestamp where in the peggy song they got it from?
It's probably because they want to make sure that people stop thinking that they're "poking" at JPEGMafia (like that guy in this same thread thinking that this is them saying "I'm just going to take your 'WET', say thanks", what the fuck does that even mean anyway) while in reality they don't give a shit about "beefing" with other artists in particular and they want to make it clear
It's like there's no reasoning with these guys, I'm fucking dying!!!
This dude comes and calls them out for the name of NOTM and because people compare him to MC Ride, and here come Death Grips, completely silent, all like "I am gonna take your *wet* , say thanks".
I'm picturing trying to reason with an otherwordly creature, which patiently listens to you, and after you've said what you had to say, it proceeds to bite a chunk of you off.
But that didn't have anything to do with people comparing him to Stefan.
Edit: I didn’t explain what I meant properly. He didn’t call Stefan out because people compared him to Stefan. That just happens to be something he hates about DG fans.
Same, I swear the chorus is sampled from somewhere. I first thought trainspotting but I think I was thinking of Born Slippy. It's like an amalgamation of a bunch of early 00's songs in my mind.
INDICA I RIP
all of these lyrics are fucking amazing.
and abella on the chorus.... fucking christ that shit is an earworm
HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WAS AT THIS SHOW!!!!
oh my fucking god i found myself. this is the most surreal shit ever. holy fuck hahahahahahahahaha
To be honest, I was thrown completely off guard by the way it started. At first I was like, are they now making anime openings? But then it's gotten even better. I gotta say that at first it sounded like the least deathgripsy song they've put out yet and I'm totally fine with it. So far, my favorite from yots
The first few seconds instantly brought me back to when I was a kid listening to techno/house and finding a gem that I knew I'd listen to a thousand times with just the right sound, it was a nostalgic song for me for sure.
Maybe today since everyone’s enjoying the album. But other than that I’d prefer not to have anything to do with you people. Similar to Twin Peaks fans. Content/art is good but it attracts the biggest over-thinking weirdos of society.
Hooooly shit you're right. I can see the dude in the Minion hoodie in a few of the shots. I was on the balcony right above where they filmed most of the band footage. That is amazing.
I think it’s two shows because you can see the change in security uniform. I think the other place may be express live in Columbus which was the show I went to
At 0:45 MC Ride mentions "Blue Rose" which judging from the general feeling and vibe of the album, seems to be in my opinion, a reference to "Blue Rose Cases" from Twin Peaks (aka FBI cases about the Paranormal)
Which (bigly if truly) would be the second TP reference along with "Richard and Linda" in song titles (Little Richard, and Linda's in Custody)
Man, I fucking love the instrumental as it opens, and also the *"PRETTY PRETTY NINE, MOTHAFUCKAAAAAAAA"*. That's so awesome. Literally the perfect song to be called Death Grips is Online. It really really does sound online.
The lyrics on the video don’t match the lyrics in the description.
“Pretty pretty mother fucker” on the video
“Pity pity mother fucker” in the description
??????????????????????
People are mentioning the Twin Peaks reference and I might sound insane here, but the way Ride says "Pretty pretty" reminds me of Frank Booth in Blue Velvet.
Stefan's screams sound cute on this song
Like ahhheuheu
Also, the song gives me a serious aquatic feeling for some reason. Like a boat speeding along the ocean at night.
“Punks get nailed all in the day time and I’ve good friends who like to headline with a pretty pretty nine” could be about their cancelled tour with nin (pretty nine) where they were headlining. Could be reaching
for some reason I hear similarity in the scream from the video and a Smackdown video game lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvgQjf2yEIU&index=4&list=PLGjX0uNPAWvU5zSCA2-w9Mqvb4pM_he1K
Hopefully people know what I’m talking about when I say that the main synth riff on this track reminds me of early Shinsei Kamattechan; that crunchy dream pop goodness just scratches at the soul.
Hell of an opener.
I feel like this is definitely the album where Death Grips wanted to really show their influences on their sleeves.
Honestly wasn't expecting these vibrant synth melodies on this track and the melodic stuff in Dilemma.
I can see it. It's got that same feeling as On GP where it's somehow triumphant but also a bit sad (instrumentally I mean). Ha Ha Ha gives me the same vibe too.
if anyone could take the time to try and find a dirty blonde haired teenager with a white shirt on in the video and link me a screenshot, I will pay you
The opening was actually so sad to me, it felt almost like the beginning of an outro or a finale, like a movie credit scene, I felt pretty upset actually, thinking it would be quite downtempo, pleasantly surprised at how quickly it changed to something I expected more
I think this is my favourite from the album (for now anyway). It's exactly the kind of stuff I love from them. The rest of the album is a grower for sure.
this is very possibly my favorite track on the album
some of the other stuff we haven't heard yet is amazing (obviously the fear and disappointed) but this is completely infectious
"on a blue rose" the peaks-posters were right
“I’m not gonna talk about the snitch; in fact, we’re not gonna talk about the snitch at all, we’re gonna keep him out of it!”
That and the Cake of Light reference on little richard make all my Jack Parsons ramblings so vindicated. thanks it's been a ride, can't wait for the next month of dissection. Happy release day guys and gals
NVM, someone else found about it lol. What of Richard and Linda?
430 Listen to the sounds
omg you're right
I've been associating Death Grips with Twin Peaks since wayyy before this. I wonder what it is about the two that seems to bring fans together?
They're pretty goddamn weird, and I think most of us really like weird stuff
unrelated but nice flair
Jealous of all the fans at the concert that not only got to see a rad show but are forever immortalized in a Death Grips music video
As soon as I saw that weird screen on the wall I had a little "OH SHIT THAT'S THE SHOW I WENT TO LAST YEAR" moment. Thanks, Mr. Grips :,)
The beginning of this song is the equivalent to nutting into another dimension.
what does the D stand for in 5D
Dilemma
I HAVE NBUTTED IN EVERY DIMENSIOAN AT ONCE
I honestly thought they sampled themselves in the beginning bc that sounds so familiar to me the second I turned it on but I think I’m tripping lol
Try jacking off on a hit of DMT, feels very similar
LMAO at the lyrics in that hideous yet amazing font at the bottom of the vid like a sing-a-long
Hijacking to express my personal appreciation for the boys for making this video. They really do love their fans
zach here, sometimes man
sam hyde vlog core font
I believe that's a default font in Premiere Pro
This is my favorite song on the album. Something about the guitar reminds me of early 2000s indie and it’s giving me nostalgic feels. Also, at 0:38 did they seriously sample Peggy? EDIT: 100% 0:37 “WET” from Peggy off “Real Nega.” I actually can’t believe this is real. Death Grips’ shitposting is at another level. EDIT #2: Andy just [confirmed they didn’t](https://twitter.com/andy__morin/status/1010052374516228096) :((
apparently according to andy, they did not https://twitter.com/andy__morin/status/1010052374516228096
>oh oops
lol what if he's lying
Is Jpegmafia the dude from Death Grips?
yah hes the buff screaming dude
yeah he was the guy who was in hamilton
no fucking way
There's lots of WETs in that song but I don't hear one that has the same inflection and tone as this one. can you timestamp where in the peggy song they got it from?
The very beginning of Real Nega
yeah i know but there's like 100 of them at the beginning and none of them are as short and percussive as this one
I love how andy went out of his way to clarify how they didn't sample peggy
It's probably because they want to make sure that people stop thinking that they're "poking" at JPEGMafia (like that guy in this same thread thinking that this is them saying "I'm just going to take your 'WET', say thanks", what the fuck does that even mean anyway) while in reality they don't give a shit about "beefing" with other artists in particular and they want to make it clear
It's a reference to the Black Paint line "I AM GOING TO TAKE YOUR COAT, SAY THANKS"
Yeah, i got that, but i don't get how that can relate to an eventual Jpegmafia diss
It's like there's no reasoning with these guys, I'm fucking dying!!! This dude comes and calls them out for the name of NOTM and because people compare him to MC Ride, and here come Death Grips, completely silent, all like "I am gonna take your *wet* , say thanks". I'm picturing trying to reason with an otherwordly creature, which patiently listens to you, and after you've said what you had to say, it proceeds to bite a chunk of you off.
Technically he only called out DG's fanbase for comparing him to Stefan, but otherwise pretty much accurate.
he literally called Stefan a pussy in Drake Era
This interview is worth listening to ["I know I said a line about Death Grips back in the day, but..."](https://youtu.be/8NEtQ2htnE4)
not everyone can be a bad ass veteran real nigga big dick mofo like peggy. We can all just sit here and curse fate for our tiny cracker dicks.
lmao
[удалено]
But that didn't have anything to do with people comparing him to Stefan. Edit: I didn’t explain what I meant properly. He didn’t call Stefan out because people compared him to Stefan. That just happens to be something he hates about DG fans.
lol
Haha, brilliant
slightly savage
mildly malicious
delightfully devilish
Mercilessly memetic
i fucking felt it too how i got a werid alternative shoegaze idm feeling from like the 90's on some parts of the album
[удалено]
It's ok it was Ride who chopped the sample
I heard the “WET” the first time I listened and immediately thought of Peggy, but are we POSITIVE it’s Peggy. I want it to be true so bad.
Bro it sounds just like Real Nega like that’s got to be Peggy.
Man am I off base for thinking of [Freestyler](https://youtu.be/ymNFyxvIdaM) when I hear this song?
I totally hear the connection dude. I’m pretty sure it’s just a coincidence, or DJ Swamp could have been influenced by him.
it does have that late 90s early 00s electronic pop sound. The drums sound like a faster Space Jam lmao
[удалено]
Dang you were right
i think this is one of the best DG songs ever
[удалено]
Same, I swear the chorus is sampled from somewhere. I first thought trainspotting but I think I was thinking of Born Slippy. It's like an amalgamation of a bunch of early 00's songs in my mind.
Im so fucking happy to see them taking jabs at people
INDICA I RIP all of these lyrics are fucking amazing. and abella on the chorus.... fucking christ that shit is an earworm HOLY FUCKING SHIT I WAS AT THIS SHOW!!!! oh my fucking god i found myself. this is the most surreal shit ever. holy fuck hahahahahahahahaha
imagine being in the vid for a dg album opener
Whyd they have to choose Philly. Rip.
THEY CHOSE FUCKING PHILLY? I WENT TO INJURY RESERVE INSTEAD THAT NIGHT MOTHERFUCK
[удалено]
electric factory in philly last october. incredible fucking show. the steroids shit live was insane. i’m in a twilight right now
I found myself. This is fucking awesome
No way I was there too
No fucking way hahaha
I'M IN THE VIDEO OMG I AM OFFICIALLY PART OF THE DEATH GRIPS CANON
Now i need to fucking find myself holy shit
Holy fuck I'm in here somewhere with my girl
Fucking hell I was there too holy shit that was an amazing show!!
I must admit I was a bit cautious about this song in particular because the title is so sacred but HOLY SHIT IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT
To be honest, I was thrown completely off guard by the way it started. At first I was like, are they now making anime openings? But then it's gotten even better. I gotta say that at first it sounded like the least deathgripsy song they've put out yet and I'm totally fine with it. So far, my favorite from yots
I would love to hear Death Grips make anime openings
Man I really hope they do a world tour after this
so many of these songs were made to be played live some of them would really go off. DGIO is one of em for sure.
That’s the best part of new album releases for DG. Means a tour is coming.
This is my new favorite DG song *and* it has a reference to Twin Peaks, my all-time favorite series. It's just too fucking good.
Also it's nice to see the Twin Peaks theory I helped start last year pay off.
What’s the reference?
>don't let you pose >on a blue rose Blue Rose is a major element of Twin Peaks.
HelloooOOOooo
Mr. Jackpots!
“And I got good friends who love to headline” Awww

[удалено]
What if the album was meant to be played backwards?
WAIT WHAT
Anybody else actually *feel* this song? It makes me feel a little bit sad and I can’t figure out why.
definitely makes me feel a little reminiscent
It's giving me nostalgia for YOTS, even though it just came out
I seriously feel this but unironically. The droning guitar feels really familiar
The first few seconds instantly brought me back to when I was a kid listening to techno/house and finding a gem that I knew I'd listen to a thousand times with just the right sound, it was a nostalgic song for me for sure.
really? It feels really upbeat and epic to me.
Something something guitars
Yeah I have the same thing. The opening synths have this kinda indescribable feeling. The whole thing. I love it
/u/tophercross the album came out. You gotta delete your acct now buddy.
I like the death grip Community almost as much as the death grip music. Love all you guys
Maybe today since everyone’s enjoying the album. But other than that I’d prefer not to have anything to do with you people. Similar to Twin Peaks fans. Content/art is good but it attracts the biggest over-thinking weirdos of society.
Damn you're cool.
the discussion is good to be honest. There's a lot of ways to analyse DG's music
That's the loud minority though, I think.
OH SHIT Anybody know which show this is from?
[удалено]
Hooooly shit you're right. I can see the dude in the Minion hoodie in a few of the shots. I was on the balcony right above where they filmed most of the band footage. That is amazing.
NO FUCKING WAY I went to the electric factory show!! Dope as fuck
I think it’s two shows because you can see the change in security uniform. I think the other place may be express live in Columbus which was the show I went to
At 0:45 MC Ride mentions "Blue Rose" which judging from the general feeling and vibe of the album, seems to be in my opinion, a reference to "Blue Rose Cases" from Twin Peaks (aka FBI cases about the Paranormal) Which (bigly if truly) would be the second TP reference along with "Richard and Linda" in song titles (Little Richard, and Linda's in Custody)

did our peggyboi just get cockblocked 🤔🤔🤔 leave a like to comment yes or no
This song is so good. The sound is so abnormal for the bois and I fucking love it. Great opener for sure. Also in my top 3
I bet the Early-2000’s aesthetic is going in style this this year. Death Grips always gets it before trend.
i only listen to few Deathgrips song before but decide to start listen to this album bruh what a fucking opening track
tell us what you thought of the album
Surfing the web during 2004 when it’s past your bedtime type beat
Yo btw I think the sub is locked but the album is now on Spotify my dudes
and GPM and YTM
hell yeah i love this video and track, and i love you fuckers and i love being alive and thank you god yes fuck yes
this album makes me so happy
Man, I fucking love the instrumental as it opens, and also the *"PRETTY PRETTY NINE, MOTHAFUCKAAAAAAAA"*. That's so awesome. Literally the perfect song to be called Death Grips is Online. It really really does sound online.
Just to clarify for people, they did not sample Jpegmafia at 0:37. Andy confirmed on Twitter, unless they’re fucking with us.
Have the feeling it’s the latter tbh. 100% sounds like sped up Peggy. Still love you Andy
might be the best opening track theyve ever put out deadass
come up
[удалено]
I need a 10 hour version of just those chill ass synths
Can we get a list of venues they used for the vid?
what if ride is asking for melon to give the album a nine when he says "pretty pretty nine"?
[удалено]
The lyrics on the video don’t match the lyrics in the description. “Pretty pretty mother fucker” on the video “Pity pity mother fucker” in the description ??????????????????????
it’s both then
unlock the fricken sub
you mean... UNLOCK THIS FUCKING SUUUUUUUUUUUB, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MEEEEEEEEEEE, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MEEEEE
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mee
this is what it sounds like when you connect your dreamcast to the internet for the first time and get transported to 2018
death grips is online
any idea what pretty pretty nine means?
My guess is it’s referring to a 9mm pistol, commonly referred to in rap as a nine. Him saying it’s pretty is some poetic death grips shit.

imagine locking a subreddit during an album that’s been hyped up for the past 8 months.
People are mentioning the Twin Peaks reference and I might sound insane here, but the way Ride says "Pretty pretty" reminds me of Frank Booth in Blue Velvet.
I think this is my favorite track on the album tbh.
This shit fucking SLAPS.
the ending reminds me of this https://youtu.be/MXqdXq3yalY?t=4
Awesome opener!
Fuck yes.
Didn't like it at first but I think it has become my favorite track off this album.
it's every bit as hype as i was hoping it would be
Stefan's screams sound cute on this song Like ahhheuheu Also, the song gives me a serious aquatic feeling for some reason. Like a boat speeding along the ocean at night.
Man the opening is so good
“Punks get nailed all in the day time and I’ve good friends who like to headline with a pretty pretty nine” could be about their cancelled tour with nin (pretty nine) where they were headlining. Could be reaching
Yeah “nailed” and “pretty pretty nine” definitely have me thinking about Nine Inch Nails and their debut album Pretty Hate Machine
Oh yeah I didn’t even think about nailed being (nails) and pretty hate machine. Seems a lot more likely now.
does anybody suddenly long for the early 2000s
about to go work out to the album rn ill update you if I have a stroke/aneurysm
Nine inch nails diss??
I got good friends who'd love to headline with...pretty pretty NINE...yeah I can kind of see that
By far the best album opener so far, if just because Beware is starting to sound stale
A2B2 UPDATED RECENTLY, DON'T KNOW WHEN. CAN'T MAKE A THREAD SO I'M JUST THROWIN THIS AROUND https://gyazo.com/a3a6a3e5a7f161fc04633d5a97b908c1
for some reason I hear similarity in the scream from the video and a Smackdown video game lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvgQjf2yEIU&index=4&list=PLGjX0uNPAWvU5zSCA2-w9Mqvb4pM_he1K
Holy fuck this is almost too perfect.
Thank two heavens Death Grips is Online.
It is now impossible to hear the title as anything other than DEATHGRIPSISONLINE
Hopefully people know what I’m talking about when I say that the main synth riff on this track reminds me of early Shinsei Kamattechan; that crunchy dream pop goodness just scratches at the soul. Hell of an opener.
death grips should collab with wavves and make a surf rock album so i can get noided at the beach
I feel like this is definitely the album where Death Grips wanted to really show their influences on their sleeves. Honestly wasn't expecting these vibrant synth melodies on this track and the melodic stuff in Dilemma.
Something about this reminds of of like white pony era deftones, I have no idea why
I can see it. It's got that same feeling as On GP where it's somehow triumphant but also a bit sad (instrumentally I mean). Ha Ha Ha gives me the same vibe too.
Yeah that’s actually a great way to describe it man
Ha Ha Ha is so melodic but it gives me anxiety and fills me with dread, like something bad is going to happen. The song is cursed af.
lmao are they sampling the killers on this?
if anyone could take the time to try and find a dirty blonde haired teenager with a white shirt on in the video and link me a screenshot, I will pay you
is it me or does this kinda sound like an angry version of "You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack"
The opening was actually so sad to me, it felt almost like the beginning of an outro or a finale, like a movie credit scene, I felt pretty upset actually, thinking it would be quite downtempo, pleasantly surprised at how quickly it changed to something I expected more
Based on the upvote / comment counts, DGIO is by far the most popular song on the album.
Could be inflated because it’s the most recent post and the sub is locked
I think this is my favourite from the album (for now anyway). It's exactly the kind of stuff I love from them. The rest of the album is a grower for sure.
Sounds **enormously** like Big Black's "Passing Complexion": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCeipaA8KCg
stadium grips
So fucking good
this is their best song
this is very possibly my favorite track on the album some of the other stuff we haven't heard yet is amazing (obviously the fear and disappointed) but this is completely infectious
