Album Review :Death Grips – The Money Store

This my first album review. First I was a little hesitant about doing this due to the fucking fact I have no experience, but every other blog was doing, so I said fuck it. Today I will review Death Grips The Money Store. Death Grips is a Sacramento based experimental rap group feautring MC Ride(vocals), Zach Hill plays the drums and helps with production. Flatlander makes the beat. The Money Store sounds like Public Enemy and earlier Wu Tang but to the extreme. If you took oddd future and dipped them in a lava then scientifically merge them with Public Enemy but an Iraqi terroist version, you'll get out Death Grips . Listening to The Money Store might make you want to shoot your ears out at first. Unlike Odd future they don't rely on lyrics to bring out their craziness. The beats are what does it. The production on here is spacey and electronic and heavily bass driven with odd rough samples. To be honest, Stefan Burret aka MC Ride is not the best lyricist nor deliverist. The lyrics are at sometimes inaudible and of beat. Death Grips stick with their same formula from ExMilitary debut album,the mind blowing ear bomb production and screamo-rap. Unlike other boundary pushing hip hop group Death grips are not developed. They are too experiemental and looks like they haven't really found their sound. You will like this album if you like screamo and/or great production. The production is some of the best this year so far. The more you listen, the better they get. Well fuck that't my opinion but Fuck That like MC Ride would say.

fave Tracks: "Get Got", "I've seen footage", "Bitch Please"


fucking Ugly Tracks: "Hacker", "Double Helix" , "The Cage"
